    Perhaps a ramp is more of a 'training aid' for the 'ham-fingered'? >ducks<

    Pants... Hmmm... sponsorship opportunity for Tena Men?

    I just wish these things didn't have to take place in London.

    I was looking at a very nice red one today for a silly low price. Must admit I like the look of my Jag SS a bit more, plus it has P+J pickups, but these Squier short scale basses give you a lot of bass for your money.

    There are plenty of of ones for the 62 jazz bass re-issue taht have come up on reverb etc. over the years, but I can't find any current ones.

    It's a <hushed voice> modelling amp so it does lots of other sounds as well including Fender and Marshall to varying degrees of convincing, but dial in Fender Twin Reverb with a slow leslie speaker effect and valve overdrive and you get a good Rust-era Neil Young sound.

    My Performer has micro-tilt adjustment. I must admit I just backed it right off. Even so the action is lower than most guitars.

    What's really revealing about the interview, is at the end Morrison reveals he's been channelling @Teebs all along:

    Wow! that would be great. One will do - otherwise I might be tempted to 'fit and forget' 🙂 PM sent

    I'll be ridiculed for suggesting this... but if you want a 'bedroom blaster' with a rich selection of real valve sounds, I've got a Vox Valvetronix 25 (curiously it's 30W), which I think is great. My brother with his Marshall JCM, Fender Deville and Orange Terror valve amps takes the fosters - but for me it's loads of fun.

    Orange Tiny Terror sounds ace...

    Excellent! Now to find some suitable stainless shim. I'm assuming that being American they will be imperial so ~19mm=3/4" ~50mm=2" and ~9mm = 3/8".

    I've practiced with a bass player on drums who counted in 1 2 3 4 but then proceeded to play (correctly) in 3/4!

    It seems that these are as rare as Unicorn turds: If anyone out there has a set , could they post a few measurements or photos alongside a ruler, as I don't think they would be impossible to make.

    I tried using a vibrato pedal for Boulevarde of Broken Dreams; everyone impressed by the sound, but if the drummer drifted there wasn't a way to get it back in synch. I tried using a delay instead, re-triggering at each bar, but it faded too fast and didn't sound any better than playing staccato, which what I ended up doing.

    The D string on my performer is that close to the strings. It's a right PITA. I need to do a setup on it.

    Had to play Black Man Ray the other day, a total dirge if started too slow and so little bass you can't push it faster. Luckily we had a drummer who doesn't know the song but I primed him 'keep up the tempo' and we buzzed along 🙂
  18. Stub Mandrel
    Ah.... tapewound...

    Reading '83? Why didn't you say hello? 🙂
  20. Stub Mandrel
    Reissue Fender performer of course!

    Manual drawing board... retired architect? 🙂

    That's not a shim, it's an emergency roach.

    Beato is always interesting, I just wish he would either stop SHOUTING or at least mix his voice to be no louder than the music...

    Heading for d.i.v.o.r.c.e. Obviously having a roof over my head is priority number 1, my hope is to have a garage for a workshop and a music room inside.

    Probably Nik Turner...
