  1. What's that burning smell? It's me! I AM ON FIRE!!!!!
  2. It's not THAT heavy!
  3. So many names, but just the one strange mix of defiance of the laws of physics and hunger for power.
  4. TC Spectracomp. I like it so much, I own 3. One for church, one for my pedal board and one for recording at home. Multiband compression with presets developed by grownups which means I cannot mess them up. That is my favourite thing.
  5. Then there is the bit where one particular member picks a fight with the sound engineer in every venue you play. That always helps.
  6. Positive and negative. I had a bass modified to give the EMG circuit 18v power instead of the standard 9v. There was absolutely negligible difference. Plumbing Bongo pickups and preamp into a Stingray. Wowzers!
  7. I payed 12K for a car in cash once. The guy who sold it was so keen to get rid he did not even count it. I was taken aback. I sold it for £300 less than I paid and had 3 months of utterly glorious Audi A8 sport 4.2 twin turbo V8 Diesel goodness in the meantime.
  8. Very easy to use and programme. Very juicy synthy goodness.
  9. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted when I commissioned my mind-bendingly expensive custom bass. I also knew what I wanted when I changed the pickups in it twice and the preamp in it 3 times. Then I knew that I did not know what I wanted. It was an expensive lesson.
  10. Lush
  11. I have stopped booking insurance with the company but use secursus.
  12. I have had 2 full-size bass guitar boxes dropped off in post offices for me in the past 2 weeks. I am not boasting here. Just for info. The 60cm thang sounds like a royal pain.
  13. I have given up on pickups. I just book drop-offs.
  14. Urghhhhhhhhhh. I have absolutely no need of this. But I want it badly.
  15. A 10 year guarantee!
  16. I bought a new G&L bass from the USA. The truss rod snapped. I am not complaining about that. Things happen. I have just received a brand new neck from G&L in the US as a replacement. This is the customer service we like.
  17. I cannot deny it.
  18. It's gratifying when a concept actually comes to fruition like you hope it will. My track record of "improving" basses is chock full of "Ah, not all that after all" moments. This is all I hoped for.
  19. Ban this sick filth!!!! Not wrong though.
  20. Ummm....Bongo - copyright @LukeFRC
  21. Tone words. I played the Umm.....Bongo at church this morning. In a kind of strange analogy, it was like playing bass on an Aston Martin V8.
  22. I just bought a bass back that I sold 6 years ago. Don't let it eat away at you.
  23. Very, very.
