It Wasn’t Me - Shaggy

The way Google’s current, headline, AI précis works, we’ll end up with a large fish on the headstock.

If anyone is thinking of getting some PJB gear, here’s a 20% off discount code, sadly it looks like US only …

Pino and Richard Drummie, definitely some keyboard bass on there too.

I might try that next time stage size allows.

Go West - Go West. I’d forgotten what a great album this is, with some top bass from Richard Drummie and Pino and fantastic guitar playing (both chops and tone) from the late, great Alan Murphy.

What’s New Pussycat - Tom Jones

Another vote for the EBS multichorus. When I first went looking for a chorus pedal, I lined a bunch up, side by side and the EBS was the best sounding for my purposes. Another advantage of it is that it also has pitch modulation and flanger settings, plus an internal wet/dry trim pot. I haven’t felt the need to replace it since I bought it, which must be at least 15 years ago.

Not with the full rig for me, as I think the 2 upwards speakers are too high up and are blowing past me. I think these work better when the Flightcase is on the floor. However, they do help the overall FOH sound if the ceiling isn’t too high.

My 10 do the job for me, although 2 are upwards firing.

I considered that, but it just makes life complicated and defeats my original intention. I may manufacture some sort of ramp to cover the void before going down the custom pickguard route (it’s where my hand sits when I play anyway, so a rest would be useful).

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

Brilliant, many thanks for that. I think I may have sussed the wiring conundrum too. Looks like it’s time to invest in some new tools and get started.

I thought so. I was surprised to find that that was an Ibanez bass, listening to Missing Persons I immediately thought it was a Wal (still could be of course) but this sounds much the same to my cloth ears.

I’m pretty sure that this is the MM hard up against the bottom edge of the P pickup (which I’ll remove). Turns out that I have an MM style pickup spare (Bassculture), if I can work/find out the wiring on this, that’s a few bob saved.
