Just about up to date. Best played on shuffle - Enjoy!!

The '72 vintage wasn't available on Spotify so went with the '78.

Not heard Twisted Sister since school days! I picked "Silver Bells" from this album, as there were no other versions of that song on the playlist.

That comes up on a Spotify search, but greyed out so the track isn't available. It is on YT though, and it is both weird and strange. But unlike the R2D2 song you won't need therapy afterwardsn

Oh my ears!!!!!! Mercifully it's not on Spotify so doesn't make the playlist.

Kate Bush's version isn't on Spotify, I've included an alternate instrumental

T2 fail in the last month.

Thanks all. Back to a stable internet connection so I'll update the playlist. If people can post Spotify links rather than YT that makes life waaaaaay easier, as I don't have to find the same song on Spotify, compare it to YT etc etc. 🎅

The hotel I am staying in for work has almost no 3/4/5G signal and I can't connect to the WIFI 😭 Keep 'em coming and I will add them to the playlist when I get enough bandwidth.

Great suggestions, I can't keep up! I'm travelling for work now, so I'll do a mass update of the playlist probably tomorrow evening or Tuesday.

I can't find this one on Spotify

Song suggestions please for a Christmas Playlist. Songs suitable for general listening but which avoid the bleedin' obvious! I'll add them to this Spotify playlist (and maybe change the cover art)

Welcome! I can't keep up with your release schedule on BandCamp (can anyone??) but I bought and had "I'm still here" on repeat for ages after you released it, just a great album to listen to properly.

Welcome aboard!

😁 I just thought I ought to mention the competition, in the interests of balance and fairness and all that. Plus they have some really interesting and unusual stuff in BB!

Bass Direct is technically in Warwick. Bass Bros is in Leamington though. Not sure if Bass Bros are on this forum.

So you're in for the 2026 challenge then?

Just to make it clear - I'm not on any commission! 😇

I might have to drive over and try that Rinaldis EVO FX5. I have absolutely no money spare, but I am really curious to know what they are like. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/rinaldis-evo-fx5-pre-owned/

You didn't say if your singer is male or female, or if your guitarist is rhythm or lead or both. These are maybe less well known and probably work best for female leads.

Take a screenshot of the image and use that. A quick and dirty way to change format 😀

I tried a bassboard at the guitar and bass show in Solihull earlier in the year. It was excellent, and I have added one to my ever expanding list of things I want to build if I ever have the time.

I think @itu is right. A standard 9V battery can't supply huge amounts of current, and between any losses in the step-down circuit and the start-up draw of the pedal it probably can't cope. You can try it from the 9V pedal supply, that ouught to be able to handle the startup current. If that doesn't work then it may be the lighter circuit is a problem. A 9V-5V converter is only a few quid on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Module-Transformer-Voltage-Regulator/dp/B09B829DL9 It's also designed for the job. If none of that works then an alternative could be to use a USB power bank as the 5V supply, strapped under the pedalboard.

Nearly there folks! Looking for something completely different I found the above advice from @Geek99 to a 15 year old posting in the Introductions thread in 2020. As he never posted after mid 2021 I assume the young man took the advice. Or post-covid discovered beer and girls and gave up the bass?

So that's the reason for the stupidly large headstock on Fenders? Cheaper than changing the neck construction, I grant you, but it's a decision that resulted in a fugging ugly design. I am intrigued though. How do you determine if a neck design will have a dead spot, and where? Or know that putting more mass at one end will change that?
