She is certainly two footing it a lot of the time. I have been the victim of this when the local Hammond bod was playing faster lines with his feet than I was with my hands. Not that that is a major achievement really. Anyway, at 1:15 she is working that swell (vol? what was I thinking?) pedal.

OK organ fans. I play organ, very, very slowly and then bring the speed back up in Logic on my tracks, which the world is not ready for. I went to watch Delvon Lamarr in the interest of research (and grooviness) and was amazed at how "messy" (for the want of a better word, and looking at it through piano playing eyes) his technique was. Of course, it was superb and worked flawlessly for what he was doing. I stress again that I was looking through the eyes of a very poor pianist. So I adopted this into my Hammond playing and it worked. Barbara seems to be pumping the vol pedal rhythmically. This is a Hammond thing?

That is the truth. But I had bought the slightly cheaper K&M without the dog bone tightening bit. And (after many years) that bit gave up. We could not tighten them enough. But with the new part, they are functionally like new again.

Just all round easy peasy. And exquisite packing.

Bass Police are coming for you.

Buy yourself some of these. It is the same thread on the bolt - this accross multiple makes and ages. I did 10 mic stands at church this morning. Everything is now super easy. Obv the stands have not been used properly, but then, as soon as any member of the public get their hands on mic stands, we know that boom arm tightening doobrie is the first thing to go if they are not dog bone tighteners. £2.55 each and they now support themselves like those pricier K&Ms that I should have bought in the first place. Happy days. https://www.thomann.co.uk/km_knebel_komplett_schwarz.htm

It was going so well. Sorry, this means I cannot come.

So, I bought a Nano Cortex on here. I have chucked various nice preamps in. The pitch shifter will go down an octave and seems very happy to hit G on the E string. There is a 9 band EQ which can tidy up stuff for me. I can even take examples of my Hellborg Pre and my Fender TBP-1 pre if I can be bothered. I can see that the grown up version does a lot more, but for me, this is a beautiful thing.

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

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
Owen replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
But is it my best purchase? No, that was the Eich Bass Board. It is a total game changer. -

I have had one of these for nearly 30 years. I would not be without it. When it eventually breaks I will buy another. Unless I go first. Mine is a Ruxxac. -
