Just bought a couple of really nice microphones from Frank at the SW bass bash. Great to meet you in person, Frank! I recorded some (dodgy) Spanish guitar with them last night - they sound ace! Thank you!

I would very much like to purchase one of @Jabba_the_gut‘s tiny travel basses - such fun, and so nicely put together! Loved the food - you could easily charge twice what you do @scrumpymike. Loved having the opportunity to buy bits from @Chownybass too - got me a bridge for my incredibly slow build. Also won a pedal in the raffle. - I love pedals! And thank you to @Andyjr1515 for the donation of a neck for my slow build and knobs for my Hohner Jack. Bought some mics from @Frank Blank a chuffed with those too. I like mics nearly as much as I like basses! Basschat is a great community.

Can’t wait to see this tomorrow!

Just got new looms for my bitsa and my Hohner Jack this morning - came with wiring diagrams and a little screwdriver! Did the Jack first - wow. I had no idea the stock active circuit was choking the sound so much!!! Looking forward to getting the P done after dinner! Definately a worthy upgrade. Chuffed!

Saw this and thought it would make an ace neck plate. 2.5 x 3.5 inches - perhaps a little big for a 4, but maybe someone is building a bonkers 5 or 6 string?! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163629830920

Lovely bass! Why is there a bit of tape over one of the pole pieces?

I tried a fair few when I went looking. I had ambitions of jamming in the garden in the sunshine with mates on guitar & bongos or something. The reality was much the same as the above respondents - poor plugged in sound, not loud enough for an actual jam, and a little bit uncomfortable. Sorry, but I’d just get a little amp instead!

What did they do?

The care that’s going in to this is something else! Loving it.

Ten hours of video is a lot to edit. Probably cut down from a lot more. Probably production staff to pay (some young buck getting their first break making the tea etc - deserve to get paid, right?) What else goes in to these videos? Renting or buying the space to produce them, etc. It’s the same argument with music - why pay for it? Because someone took the time to get good at it, then make it. Btw, I’m not a subscriber. Devils advocate duty for today - check!

That bloke is funny.

The grill and corner protectors - are they painted or treated in any way, or just bare metal? Looks ace.

Gun metal grey, Lake placid blue (metallic), muted gold? Not all at once, obvs.

I had a good neck from musicalaccessories on eBay

Ooh, I might be in the market for a pair of SDCs - how much you asking?

Despite pondering an upgrade, I’ve been gigging mine happily for a couple of years. It does look cool sitting on my BF Two10.

I say he deserves it. So full of himself with all that plumage. in your Face, peacock!

I do like the look of those. So many basses, so little time!!!

Still got the Ampeg Pf350, but now I have a shiny new BF Two10 to play it through! Weirdly, although I know the Ampeg is the weak link in this chain (my playing aside), I kinda like it, so am in no rush to upgrade. Both my basses have had a proper set up and feel great. Currently quite content.

Happy birthday!!!
