I just watched the Flea/Beato interview where Flea bigs up M'eshell Ndegeocello for her absolute distillation of the bass line so that what she plays is driving the song to the max but not drawing attention. He put it well.

The older I get, the more I see bass as a percussion instrument that has pitch. I went to a gig last night and all I could think was "Bassist! Calm down and lay it down!!! No one wants to hear your pentatonic noodlings". "And while you are at it, tune the instrument".

I must admit that playing an Eb neck has me keeping well clear of that end of the neck. If the bass is one you will keep, fashioning a new nut makes a lot of sense. It can sit on the present fingerboard.

Digital desks are great. But sometimes it is good to have one knob per function all laid out logically. And that analogue tone, maaaahn... Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro. 4 mic channels, 8 line ins on 4 x stereo channels. 2 x aux and 3 band eq. It will come in a tatty but functional bag - £95 Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro. 6 mic channels, 8 line ins on 4 x stereo channels. Same aux and EQ. And a much nicer bag. And faders. £120 Sometimes it is good to have the flexibility digital offers. Behringer XR12 in flightcase. Not really used. Bought on here because I NEEDED it. But then I did not - £135 -

We live in the golden age of luthiery. Not joking. -
David introduced me to InPost lockers. So easy! Why have I never used this before? And he posted a book I did not need, but fancied, and it is all good.

I am 280 miles North again by now. But thanks for the offer.

Even if you are late, you are still welcome.

Thanks all. At £14 inc the power supply it would be rude not to. I was down The Drift last week Phil. It is nice down there.

Thank you very much. The obvious answer is to give her my tiny Mackie Desk that I do not use at all, ever. But something smaller with fewer options would be great.

Just a post in praise of the TI JR. Obv, not to your taste, and that is cool. But if anyone out there likes a nice, compliant string that is a bit (tiny bit) rubbery/bendy, then this is the set you are seeking.- 1 reply

I had thought of splitting and a P2. But I do not know if the P2 has enough gain to deal with mic level. Does anyone know?
