  1. Cripes... that's about halfway bewteen Glasgow and Cardiff so it could also be a South Wales bash... Might make a weekend of it and see my daughter in Manchester ...
  2. I dig in hard, and I mever suffer with bridge saddles sliding. I have four or five basses with high mass bridges... have never noticed any difference. Funnily enough my first two basses (mid 80s) would qualify as high mass ... so perhaps I've 'devolved'.
  3. Late fifties & sixties.
  4. If you want a genuine solid traditionsl jazz bass sound with excellent articulation and sustain, then I recommend one of these:
  5. I once had a boss who witnessed it, he knew I was in bands and regularly warned me! I bought an ELCB as a result. In those days you'd sometimes see elcb sockets for the stage/band area and testing your own could trip them! Of course these days venues should be properly protected with rcd at the distribution board.
  6. I get worked up about people replying to threads they aren't interested in. Oops, that's me...
  7. I am always surprised how much I enjoy their music. Must see them live.
  8. You have my sympathies.
  9. These are essentially the same as the fender ones in different packaging - D'addario make Fender's strings for them; so yes that';s my experience of these strings too (in Fender guise). I also have two identical Daphne blue tuners - one branded Fender and one branded D'addario.
  10. I can only get my head around this by seeing it on a graph. Power (W) vs. output (dBA)
  11. That's what makes it so bloody great 🙂
  12. It's a question of balance Roto 66 sound brilliant for a gig or three. Fender nickels sound ok, for six months. Flats avoid the problems by sounding meh from the start, and feel horrid.
  13. Good luck Dave. I've got 3 January gigs, 7 February and 7 in March 🤯
  14. I love The Letter.
