  1. Just too many to chose from to pick just one (or ten honestly), but here's a few that float my boat: More Pino
  2. The ‘net gives a measurement of 41.3mm, but that was the only reference I could find with a quick perusal.
  3. Had the same problem and fitted one of those bezels - all fixed.
  4. Given that I think the guitarist is using a double cut Washburn (I seem to remember wanting one of those back in the day), I think the bass might be a Washburn too.
  5. A thing of beauty (although I can't get on with T'Bird ergonomics) that makes my wallet itchy. Not on the shop's webpage, so perhaps a custom order; phew!
  6. In order to have something visual over and above the recording session one of my bands did recently, we did a video shoot. Here are two of the four songs we did that day. We're not a lookalike tribute band, more 'playing the music of' type deal. If you're thinking of doing a video, I can thoroughly recommend https://www.liverecord.co.uk
  7. I’m not allowed to add details to my potential sale
  8. Those bad lads at Wal have just posted this on FB to tempt the masses.
  9. I’m thinking of having one of my basses for sale.
  10. White on white sounds very cool, definitely need to see that.
  11. I’ve been using AKG K450s for a good while now, they seem OK, although the lead is very short and you’ll need an extension. I’ve done recording sessions with them as well as using them for the PC.
  12. Not that I buy either theses days, but I wonder who the editorial staff will be, BGM or BP's?
  13. I’m lucky enough that the normal lead singer in our band also teaches and her encouragement and tips have helped both our keyboard player and me really get to grips with vocals (warm ups, technique tips, etc). Take a lesson if you can.
  14. In addition to the above: Jack Bruce, Felix Pappalardi, Bryan Adams, Burke Shelley, Roger Waters, John Wetton, Martin Turner, Sting. I started doing some lead vocals a few years back, the hardest thing I found was not letting the vocal line mess up the groove. It took a lot of practice at home and it still doesn’t come naturally with any new songs, but it is doable. EDIT: beaten to the punch by some of the above
  15. I have these on both my fretted and fretless Maruszczyk basses. They go really well with the Delano pickups (MM and J types) and the tension with the 33” scale is just right. However, you’re not wrong about no one else noticing, but it makes us, the players, happy. I’ve had people come up to me after a gig and ask why I have 2 basses, they couldn’t even tell the difference between fretted and fretted! Why do we bother? Just turning up with any old piece of wood with some strings on it and make a low rumbling noise may be the way of the future (not on my watch though ).
  16. That was great viewing and a bit of an eye opener.
  17. Don’t sell that Aria Les Paul (first nice guitar), or that Yamaha SA2000 (first quality guitar) and don’t swap out that BB300 (first bass)!
  18. Ignore that 6 stringed thing, play bass; rhythm trumps solos. Buy hearing protection before joining a band. Dont smoke.
