    GDRP and all that.....

    Today is the first day of term in the college where I teach. We have a new student who is coming to do a year with us before becoming a full-time welder. He brought his bass in his home made case with him. It must be 30Kg. But he is about 6'6" and built like a mountain. I have never seen anything like it!

    I like them as well
  4. Owen
    I suspect so, yes.

    I also clocked the Meatball. I bought one when they first came out. Once, and only once, I twiddled the knobs to such a position where it added "something" behind my main note. Some sort of filter event. It was just a fabulous sound. I knew I could get the same sound again because I was clearly a boss with programming. Yeah. I never found it again. I got so fed up that I flogged it on ebay but they had stopped making them by then. Some guy from the US paid me 3 times more than the new price. I wish I could recreate it.

    I remember lifting one of these in The Gallery. I actually laughed out loud, it was so light. Great sound as well. What a combo.

    Where does the tone come from? It comes from proper power amps. Don't be fooled into thinking it comes from anywhere else. This is a proper power amp.

    Bows. A whole world of pain which has already been alluded to. I never believed it. Then I tried a really good bow. Then I believed it. Another aspect which has not yet been touched on is strings which bow well and strings which do not bow well. More pain. A really good bow playing Spirocores will never make that lush sound we hear in our heads. There are so many variables! Sorry.

    Newtone will see you right.

    I KNEW that the Baddass bridge was going to revolutionise not only my playing but my life. Yeah

    We have all been there.

    Jez makes exceedingly good basses.

    Now there is one less in their actual stock.

    Perhaps my worrying about being on double digits is not something I should concern myself with. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2024/8/musician-whos-shared-stage-with-legends-owns-worlds-largest-bass-guitar-collection

    It is quite the machine. The 4 way selector switch makes an AWFUL lot of sense. The weight is great and the build quality is flawless.

    I guessed so, but I was friends with her decades ago and it would have been very cool if she was on here.

    I have a green sparkly Dingwall D-Roc 5 string. It is not for me. I spent a happy hour playing more basses than I need tonight and several are going on manoeuvres to other locations. It is in as new condition. Fanned frets? Not a problem. I just have too many basses, and am feeling other ones more than this. Obv, in a perfect world I would keep everything, but I do not need to be owning basses in double figures. I have taken shots with flash and without flash so you too can enjoy that sparkly goodness. I did a video but it was too big. Which is a shame, it was sparkly. There is no denying it, they do a lovely metal flake. It comes with the Dingwall gig bag which is really rather nice. The price is posted to your door.

    I have been around the Uke Bass block once or twice. The upshot is that the nature of the strings are not hifi and zingy so there really is not much to go wrong on them. You can spend more money than I care to admit to publicly and get some stupendously built instruments. But the bottom line is as long as the piezo bridge is seated properly the rest is not a big deal. It gives a lovely dull thud

    Tauzero, are you Rachel?

    Not mine. I could never land on a definitive combination for long enough. But the structure of this looks lush.
  22. Owen
    Tru dat.

    You could get a bog standard WAV one 2nd hand and get it fretted. My fretted one was full fat. My present fretless is a WAV one. If there is a difference then it is minimal.
  24. Owen
    I will have to plug into my big speakers! My laptop is not registering any difference

    I am just glad I no longer need to hold my breath!
