How was your open mic or jam night last night?
Stub Mandrel replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Oooh. Haven't heard thst for a while. Was listening to Gladys' Leap in the car bdmosning the over-gated drums and cheesy 80s keyboard tones. If they have the stems it could be remixed to be epic. My Feet are Set For Dancing should haven been a number 1. -

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

If they did that four tmes it would be off the end of the body... -
I'd struggle to get past the chorus...

I am always amazed how everyone loves War Pigs! Ten years ago it would have been a floor-emptier!

Even if there's cake?

What a sequence of events, but to cut it all short played Three Compasses in Clydach with just one, dep, guitarist. He'd done a lot of prep so only two big cockups... used a capo on the wrong song (I eventually figured out my bass hadn't gone flat and played up a semitone), and left out the key changes in one song where we play a different version. Great pub venue with playable(apparently!) Instruments on the walls, nice stage area, lights and excellent house pa so ours stayed in the van. My rig boomed a lot (near a corner plus hollow wooden stage) until I cut bass and boosted top and middle. Appreciative audience with some dancing, all a bit chaotic but great fun.

I missed a gig tonight as I was having a meal with a cousin I've only seen twice in a quarter century. They ended up cancelling as our rhythm guitarist found one of his horses dead this evening (😨) and was understandably not up to the gig and it wouldn't have been fair on the deps.

Or use a resistor ladder and just one pin set to a2d mode.

Double booked for tomorrow... asked to play at 7 instead, but other band has pulled out. It's an hour away and my mate has been learning the songs to dep guitar so glad it will be straightforward.
-
I'd be looking but don't jump unless you are sure. Maybe just go on Facebook and look for bands needing a regular dep.

Harley Benton flats - they're a bit good!
Stub Mandrel replied to mcnach's topic in Accessories and Misc
This made me go and check my bass with HB flats on. Hideoeus rattling! Then I noticed the neck relief had disappeared, so I slacked the truss rod off by 1/3 turn, all quiet now. -
Amateur 🤣

I place it above lead guitar 😉

Look Mum No Computer is the UK Entry for Eurovision
Stub Mandrel replied to BigRedX's topic in General Discussion
Eurovidion has bcome a sort of huge celebration of csmp culture. It's not really about music at all. Personally I think the U K should enter Duga Doo as I'm 90% sure it would win. -
Rhythm guitar is just bass without the riffs and syncopation 😉
-
I would guess so, almost entirely UK acts!

I was looking at the AD-80. But that's only 20kW for 30ms. But 14kW RMS is still around 60Amps. That's more than the beefiest electric shower. I'd only use that hard-wired in place. And not with a domestic supply. And the specs for the big one are downright scary!

Good Lord! It fits and works perfectly. I haven't greased it, and once the Nylon one is made (Nylon 66 is self-lubricating in this sort of application) I'll swap it over.

I'm convinced a replacement is likely to fail again. I've realised the main role of the bush is to stop the inner shaft rotating by engaging with two slots in the outer shaft. My parts were a good fit, but lacked the outer engagement pins so reprinting them. I've tracked down my PTFE grease which is great for this sort of thing. An alternative would be a metal key 25mm long, 8.5 x 5mm section, with rounded ends, popped through the hole in the inner shaft. Perhaps with a plastic sleeve around it.
