Bunion

Since they stopped the travellers field I haven’t been, used to stay there for the weekend, usually a cheap wrist band to be had for the main event (I used to pop my head in and see what was happening) and trance/techno rigs 24/7 for the duration. Some wild lost weekends had with a bunch of friendly people.

Sad but true - Metallica

Your on the ampeg slippery slope 😄 you need one of these for your larger/outdoor gigs

Storm warning - Lyn Taitt & The Vomets

Miles Davis & Robert Glasper

Greetings and welcome, I’d hand your credit cards over to someone else if I were you 😄

Greetings and welcome, sounds like you’ve a few tales to tell and wisdom to offer, hope you get stuck into he forums in the near future. 🍻

I do my own setups but I tend to leave it to the usual truss rod, bridge, pickup height. Unless a nut is cut wrong or the slots too large due to a string size change I’ve never had a reason to alter one, if I do it’s usually a trip to the tech for a new one. I’m more than capable of doing the job but by the time I’ve got the new nut and set up to do it it’s just as easy to leave it to the pros who have the gear to hand.

Day tripper - The Beatles

The summer is coming and it will be the best day of the year 😄

Greetings and welcome 🍻

The pedal button activates the strobe tuner and mutes sound, another press it’s off and your rocking again but perfectly in tune 😄

Mass murder machine - Black Label Society

To be fair I don’t this I’d plss on it if it was on fire

I buy some fairly expensive gear but I also own a secondhand MiM fender jazz flea that I love to bits. I don’t buy the expensive gear through snobbery though, it’s because I can finally afford it. All those years dribbling over those out of reach basses and amps as a young player it’s nice to be able to finally see if they were worth the yearnings 😄

Im certainly looking forward to putting it through it’s paces, I will say if I’d gone the new route and purchased from the US I wouldn’t have been disappointed either it sounds great. I’ll have more to say when I’ve delved inside for sure

Musicman Bongo not to uncommon really…

Been after a Blackstone Mosfet Overdrive for such a long time. Finally one popped up on the fleabay “saved search” UK based so I had to jump on it. It wasn’t as cheap as I’d like but considering the condition of it (mint) and the cost of import tax and VAT if purchased new from Blackstone it was still reasonable and less hassle. She’s Definitely little and she’s definitely fierce It’s also exactly what I thought it would be, it sounds very much like an overdriven amp and I’m over the moon with it stock, but theres more! There are trim pots inside that I haven’t explored yet but just to add a twist there are also two capacitors inside that are are designed to be changeable so you can add your own presence and bass if you so choose. Yes I know his bass has too many strings and is tuned too high but it is an overdrive designed and built by a guitarist for guitarists… The external pots are exactly what I want and I think more pedals should head this way, I’m not one to fiddle with stuff, I like to set it and leave it and once set they can’t be knocked or moved unless you want to, although as demonstrated it’s easy enough with a thumb nail or a plectrum. I’ll leave you with some pictures from the manual that are worth a read if your into overdrive I don’t want to swamp the post with to much text, but needless to say there’s a goodly amount squeezed into the little box and I love it (honeymoon phase?) I think I got what I deserved after such a long wait

Twice the distance from the middle..

That could be said for any musical instrument brand that has survived any length of time. The companies are sold and people get old and retire or pass. Would you say fenders are not fenders or a musicman stingray isn’t a stingray, let’s look at Gibson or Spector. Things move in, they evolve but to say ‘they’re not actually really wal basses’…
