I think as Ped mentioned above, a lot of the time that clicky sound is coming from a combination of low action and loose/detuned strings hitting the frets. It’s more of a percussive thing than just playing the notes in a clean way. -
That's the one!!! Brilliant stuff thank you, I had a hunch it would be late 70s Japanese a la Aria, Westone etc. It looks like these were made by Matsumoku as well, they definitely have that classic look for that era. This place is a mine of information ☺️

I thought the same myself, an old Aria Cardinal or something but the body shape isn't quite right and the headstock has a slant to it whereas the Aria is straight. Also pretty sure Aria's have bolt on necks?

I love a bit of Michael Nau and was watching a live performance on the Red Bull website of all places and kept looking at the lovely bass the bassist was using. I've never seen one like this before and was wondering what sort of model it could be - Looks like it might be an older Japanese bass that might have been stripped? Looks neck through and has a piece of dowel in a different colour near the bridge from looking at it. Anyone have any ideas what it might be? If anyone's interested the video itself is at https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/videos/michael-nau-live-and-qa

Bought some Dunlop flats from Tom, great communication and arrived quickly. A top guy to deal with, and the flats are perfect for my precision, what's not to like ☺️

Is this your own design Luke?

Have some unused valves knocking around that aren't going to get used. They were purchased a while back as spares for the Fender Tweed Deluxe kit I built. I have tested them this morning in my amp and all are working fine with no noises of any kind. The EHX preamp valves are 1 x 12AX7 and 1 x 12AY7 - one has the original box the other one doesn't for some reason, but both are unused and have been sat in my drawer. The 12AX7 is now sold Looking for £12 posted for the 12AY7 please. The rectifier valves are 2 x NOS Brimar 5Y3GT and 1 x NOS Pinnacle 5Z4GT - The Pinnacle can be used as drop in replacements for a 5Y3GT. I bought all of these as New Old Stock and they come with the original boxes but do have signs of wear on the cardboard. The Brimar valves have a corrugated cardboard and tissue paper protective cover that come with age appropriate smell 😂 Looking for £15 each posted please. Happy to arrange local meet-up with price adjustment if needed. -

Ha ha I've been using Herco Flex picks for years and always thought the number meant the thickness!

Watched Karate last night at the Fleece in Bristol and Jeff Goddard uses one of these in sunburst, sounded epic though an SVT GLWTS -
John bought my pedalboard, an absolute gent to deal with - quick payment and great communication 😊

Being a big fan of players like Stu Cook, John McVie, Duck Dunn and forum favourite Adam Clayton, I love simpler groove orientated lines locked in with a drummer. I’m also a big fan of players like David Wm Sims from the Jesus Lizard and Dave Allen from Gang of Four who play fairly complex lines sometimes and although i enjoy playing them I find it more taxing and somehow less enjoyable. That might be limitations of my ability though 😂

That old problem of missing notes when playing
Bassybert replied to FretsOnFire's topic in General Discussion
I'm a massive fan of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. A lot of the time they're on the edge, capable of falling apart at any moment but that's why it's so good. Live music is all about emotion and being in the moment. The person that notices a mistake the most is the player, then band members as they'll be used to how you play the song. Lastly it's the audience, and in my experience most of them wouldn't even know it's happened - They're largely paying attention to everyone BUT the bass player 😂 Just remember you're playing because you love it, you're not a professional, so stop putting too much pressure on yourself and enjoy the ride - We're all human, and humans make mistakes. Some of us make a lot and are fine with it, some of us like to think we don't make many/any, but still make a lot! -
All gone (Not sure how to close a thread in recycling so adding this message instead) I was given these valves years ago by a family member who did a lot of work on old valve gear - All were working at the time but I have no way of testing any of these. There's a couple of Mazda's and 7-8 Millard's. Located near Bridgwater, Somerset if you wanted to collect - If someone wants to pay postage I'm more than happy to pack and send as well. Thanks for looking, James
