I wiped it on. Used Screwfix No-nonsense stuff, cheap as chips. Took a bit of sanding back. I don't think wear will be a problem as I put on tape wound nylons after trying a Rob Allen Mouse in Bass Direct..

I did exactly this a couple of weeks ago. Makes one feel a proper ninny!

This tune is for the BassChat December 2024 Cover Challenge. Fire Brigade is a tune I've known and loved since it came out. I would have been 6 or 7 This year I have enlisted the help of the following lovely friends: Dan Coggins, pedal designer extraordinaire, 12 string Electric guitars (Rickenbacker and Gordon Smith), Godin and Eggle Electric guitars. Matt Sewell, Lead vocals x3 Phil Beavis, Piano glissando I did the drums, bass, backing vocals and Tambourine myself. You can tell! I had a poorly wrist. 60s psychedelia, love it!

I was wondering why my cover sounds so different to the 1968 original ( apart from the obvious), then it struck me. The original is in MONO! So, should I go MONO or bring it up to 70s modernity and be all stereo and that?

I've got one in progress. For a short tune it's got a lot in it. I thought it would be quick and simple. Nah , 'taint!

I made a thread about the wiring on these ages ago. Not sure about 50s wiring but it was plain wrong and useless imo. A couple of wires changed over and works properly. I agree the switch is iffy, but I haven't even checked it out, most unlike me!
