What gear exceeded expectations for you?
spongebob replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Bass Guitars
Ditto. I had to change to the Rumble 500 head (car change), but it was a seamless transition. Pumping it through a Markbass 2x10 102P Traveller cab, and it's awesome. I'd have another one tomorrow if my one blew, without hesitation. Funny thing, after a recent bass change, I'm now using, on occasion, the bright setting. Just shows after a couple of years, it can still surprise you. -
Great minds and all that! 😁

I'm not a Londoner, but I visited The Bass Gallery when I was there. Great shop and very nice staff. Sold a bass via commission with them afterwards. Highly recommended.

New Fender MIM Player series replaces Standard
spongebob replied to Gottastopbuyinggear's topic in Bass Guitars
Some of the new finishes look nicer than the the 'Pro' range! I saw one over on TB, a new limited edition MIM that was (I think) Ocean Turquoise/Tort. It looked the dogs' danglies! 😍 -
Bassists you like who aren't your normal cuppa char
spongebob replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I'm not a slap fan at all, but I've always got time for Mark King. Tasty player, bass out front, definitely done a lot for the instrument. Comes across as a nice guy too. -
Quick update - seems to have stuck after all! Well done UHU!
-
I've got some D'addario NYXL's coming today. Can't report yet, but by all accounts they're billed as a longer lasting round. Going to stick them on a Geddy Jazz, looking forward to getting these on.

Sold Andy some P-bass chrome bits. Super to deal with, instant payment, great comms. True BC'er. Many thanks Andy, looks great on your P! 😀

I personally wouldn't buy any gear that I wouldn't gig. They're all tools for the job. My gear is good, maybe very good (GAS related), but nothing that I would not bother with if I couldn't take out in public. I aim to have one of each - bass, amp, cab. All very good, rather than a number of cheapies, but all giggable.

My word. A Love Supreme with slap bass. Words can't describe how queasy I feel right now.

Sold Bruno a set of flats after he missed out on the first pack! Brilliant to deal with, instant payment and great comms. Nice one Bruno, many thanks! 😀

Did your band improve AFTER a player left?
spongebob replied to Arrowsmith's topic in General Discussion
Yes! In my experience, it's always been drummer related. With a better drummer, I also find that my own playing usually improves too. Weak link in any band brings everybody down. -
I've held (my) fire until now....!

Strings Direct, Amazon, any decent online retailer. Shame, but used to use SB all the time....not any more.

Love myself a bit of Rush, and noticed the DVD is going for about £14 now. Enjoyed the 'Beyond The Lighted Stage' DVD, so was pondering this. Anybody seen it? Worth a watch?
-
Mark kindly purchased a new set of Flats from me. Instant payment, and great comms throughout. Super chap to deal with - thanks again Mark! 😃
-
I've stuck some UHU all over it for now, and it's currently weighed down sticking.....hopefully! Says it is suitable for polystyrene and plastic, so I'll take a look later... ....before I look at bringing in the heavy artillery! 🔫 EDIT - Don't think it's stuck too well yet....will give it overnight...
-
The spray adhesive is quite expensive for a small repair....would an all-round UHU do the job? Says it works on most surfaces?
-
Haven't got one of those....looking for a tube of something suitable!
-
The 'plush' interior (top side) of one of my Fender hard cases is coming away, so needs a bit of glue to stick it back. Any suggestions of the best adhesive to use? There's an array of choices, not sure what would work best. Thoughts?

I know a guitarist who hates (she says) anything from the 70s. She's pushing 50. However, although hating -'the 70s', she plays in a punk band! Somehow that musical point missed her along the way....

playing with a pick is faster - fact or fiction?
spongebob replied to lowdowner's topic in General Discussion
Pick for me. I've been working on my fingerstyle a fair bit recently, but when I get with the band, I always revert to the pick - just seems to get a tone that sits better in the mix. Faster? I'd say. I'm a bit of an over-player anyway, and have regularly been asked if I'm being paid by the note! I'd attribute a part of that to the pick, as the up and down strokes allow me to play as such. Saying that, Jaco played more than me with fingers....!😀 -
SOLD!
