    Maybe it’s because the rules of engagement are all different? I did one blues jam where you had to bring an instrument. I did another where a great bass player (member here) let me use his. I do jazz sessions where people will spend hours on my double bass. It’s all contextual, innit.

    Seems awful. But I just can’t watch these videos without cringing.

    Mark is a lovely chap.

    This is a cool pedal! It’s a tiny multi effects pedal that’s got loads of stuff in it. It’s also rechargeable which is great for using as a headphone amp for silent practice. As I’m no longer going down the Wav 4 route it’s up for sale. £25 delivered to you…

    Reduced to £749 as I need the space!

    Make me an offer. I'm feeling generous and looking good. (One of these is true)

    I took this to a practice and it looks and sounds amazing. However, I was bullied by the classic funk band lot for its unique styling. As a result, I will discount it and send it to you for the amazing sum of £315. This is a bit of a bargain for a basically brand new and amazing 5-string bass.

    I’ve got a basically new TRBX305 for sale at £299 here. I found the Yamaha’s pickups and electronics were flexible enough to provide me with a broad range of sounds. As an active bass of course you get a massive output! More than welcome to come and give it a try:

    If anyone has ever done Grades it sounds like the sort of stuff we had to use while teaching in the 2000s. "Dirty Dog" a 3-minute funk jam in Bb with an 8-bar improvised solo section, etc.

    It's just people showing off, isn't it? That's as old as time itself, but I don't understand why you'd want to waste time watching it...

    I have no idea how this all works. The YouTube thing sort of passes me by, but this is properly dodgy. I did wonder how they managed to execute such note perfect stuff. Turns out it’s all BS.

    Still here and looking fabulous…

    Did the first of a run of 4 gigs this week (tiring). Very cool little pub and was a fantastic gig. Got out of there at 12:30.

    This is a Roth & Junius BSB-02 3/4 BK Bass Soft Bag gig bag. It’s very well padded indeed. And is quite heavy. I don’t need two gig bags and this is the better condition one so I thought I’d sell it. details of the bag here: https://www.thomann.co.uk/roth_junius_bsb_02_3_4_bk_bass_soft_bag.htm delivered for £99 No rips, tears or damage. Used for gigging a total of once. (Makita cordless power drill not included!)

    I’m not sure what you mean, but I’m currently cleaning the bathroom so have more pressing matters to attend to.
  17. Burns-bass
    Yes that would explain it! The gap also looks less extreme. As you were.

    People are weird. I knew a guy who had to reinforce his house because the weight of 75,000 records was likely to cause damage. He had every record catalogue in a database that took him years to build. Some people like records, some people like old guitars. World carries on turning.

    I’ve never seen one so bad. There’s no way that would go through QC as it is, Friday or not. It just looks like the neck has been swapped for a different one and that’s why there’s a gap. Even if it’s all original (which I don’t believe it is) it’s so god damn ugly I couldn’t bear to look at it.

    Why don’t the pubs ask the brewery for free beer? If the bands have volunteered to help, then that’s fine as a fundraiser for a treasured venue. I’ve seen that and done it. My band plays in a friends pub each month at a third of our normal fee as we love the guy, love the gig and it helps put an amazing venue. Win. Win. Win. But if the economics of running the place don’t stack up, it’s just a matter of time before it all ends.

    I don’t know what happened here. Anyway, I think the body, guard etc are all original. To me it looks like a neck swap.

    I’m not so sure. The later 60s and 70s ones aren’t as prone to shrinking as the early ones. Plus if it had shrunk in such an extreme way it would have cracked at the tips like most of the old ones have. Perhaps I’m overly cynical but I don’t like it. Im more inclined to believe it’s a neck swap than anything else.
  24. Burns-bass
    The massive gap between the scratch plate and the neck too looks wrong to me. I’ve never seen that on hundreds of vintage Fenders.
  25. Burns-bass
    Just seen this: https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1969-fender-jazz-bass-3/ Neck doesn’t look right to me. Date stamp is far too clear and little to no colouration on the headstock. All the vintage Fenders I’ve had have a beautiful orange glow to them. Binding also looks far too white. Not suggesting it’s a fake, just intersting.
