  1. The proportions are a bit weird but that is due to to the angle of my phone and the TV screen. The bass itself looked bog standard until I looked up.
  2. I was watching the Gwyl Gerdd Dant last night on TV. It is a big Welsh langauge cultural festival celebrating the amateur music making which is a backbone of Welsh culture. There were some genuinely great choral singing moments. However, a 3 piece came on and the DB made me feel a bit queasy. Have I just led a sheltered life or is this totally out there?
  3. I LIKE IT! I shall ask them. Thanks
  4. I have one of these to put on a bass. I bought it 2nd hand and it has come without the really small flat-headed screw which actually secures the unit to the headstock. It has to be flat-headed so as not to get in the way of the sliding plates. I cannot be the first person to be in this situation. Has anyone managed to source one in B&Q or another hardware supplier?
  5. There it is!
  6. What matches your outfit?
  7. Same tuning, different instruments.
  8. That song is the product of a sick mind. I love it. Imagine a world where you are normalising really extended stuff for children with top drawer singers instead of Apple Loops.
  9. Andertons had a blue one which was clearly not shifting so they sold it for about £1100.
  10. Ooft. Orange. 5/5 from me as well.
  11. I have their Belgian show on in the background. MUCH respect to Vincent.
  12. Not a proper bass solo. No over-reliance on the pentatonic. What was he thinking?
  13. When I played it against my 66J, to all intents and purposes, they were neck and neck.
  14. I used to own this very bass. It is all you ever desired in a vintage Jazz apart from the eywatering price of old things.
  15. I am glad there people who can do this kind of stuff.
  16. It was going well until the BV requirement reared it's ugly head!
  17. I put some nicer humbuckers in this. Were they DiMarzio's? Possibly I just cannot remember. Anyway, £150 + shipping to your door. It is a bit dented, but plays nicely. It needs new strings.
  18. Of course, the elephant in the room here is that you already have the twin humbucker bass you love.
  19. There is an element of humour here, but I picked up a set of 12 year old Chromes and suddenly understood flats. I never had until that moment.
  20. I think the narrative you are looking for is as follows. "Do you crave that dull thud that only broken in flats can give you? Here they are, ready to go. No need to spend 3 years playing them. The preparation work is done."
  21. There is that.
  22. We have all been there. The struggle is real.
  23. Bongo. If you don't like the ergonomics, wait for 8 years like I did for a set of Bongo pickups and pre to come up 2nd hand. Then plumb them into a Stingray. I could not be happier.
