Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2018?
Paul S replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
No, this year has been good. Last year's bad buys are another matter........ 😂 -

My best purchase was unquestionably my custom spec Maruszczyk Jake 5. 8lbs of growly, 5 string, Precision bass goodness. No worst buy, either. -
How important is the band name for you?

Appearing tonight 'absolutely nothing to do with Monday' I like it. Catchy. -
Cripes, this guy has made an Iron Maiden song sound good!
Paul S replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
To be fair I like a few of their songs - have played a couple - but soon tire of them for that reason. Seems to me the main difference is the speed at which the galloping horse moves -

At a gig last week a poster at the pub was advertising future bands including one called 'topless barmaids'. I can imagine a lot of disappointed punters. -

I've not seen Uriah Heep since 1973. Are any of them still alive? I don't think the bass player made it much beyond that. Saw VHB a couple of years ago, thought they were excellent.

Aha. I missed the word drive. Has a tube but not particularly driven. Pardon me.

Trace Elliot? I have one that has been rack mounted.

Airturn Ped or similar - blue tooth tablet controllers
Paul S replied to Paul S's topic in Accessories and Misc
Well, one of these would do it but it is a bit sledge hammer/nut - there must simpler, cheaper options that don't have to be quite so durable. Any blue tooth mouse for presentations I guess would work? -

Sustain / Tone? try taking a power saw to your bass!
Paul S replied to Marc S's topic in Repairs and Technical
Very interesting, Marc. -
Health and happiness for me and mine. Beyond that, for me, to find an old chapel out of the way somewhere and convert it into a music venue/studio. Landscape the gardens as some sort of gothic nightmare vision. For Mrs S, to start a bat rescue sanctuary locally. She loves bats maybe even as an annexe of the old chapel studio! Kill two bats with one stone.

If you didn't get together every single Monday you could call yourselves the Alternate Monday Club. -
SOLD Mesa Boogie prodigy Four:88 10th Dec down to £1000
Paul S replied to Paul S's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I had a message today (thanks Chris!) suggesting I flesh out the detail of the repair as, understandably, folks are going to be nervous spending a grand on something that has a previous fault. Symptoms were: I followed the usual cold-start procedure - switched on the power with the stand-by 'off', left it like that for 5 mins or so then turned 'on' stand-by - this was accompanied by a smell of burning and smoke! Turned off, unplugged, used back up. I took it to Electronic Music Services in Southend who are pretty much the 'go-to' industry standard amp techs in southeast Essex. Below is a scan of their report/invoice, which shows they were pretty thorough. I've used it maybe half a dozen times since then but find the whole thing too heavy to manoeuvre around. Hope this goes some way to instill confidence that this was sorted out correctly by people who know what they are doing. -

If only that were true the history of rock n roll would read very differently! 😄
