The company I work for uses SAP Concur for paying expenses. I used it once and then steadfastly avoided doing anything that involved claiming expenses again. They also use a system called Coupa for managing supplier payments which is a total pile of crap, completely unintuitive and almost unusable. Systems like these are a PITA.

I’ve also got the Adagio flats on my bitsa p bass and they’re great. A really warm smooth sound with the tone rolled off a bit. Having said that, I think the KiOgon wiring loom with 1uF cap is a contributory factor.

Awesome! Very tight and punchy. 👏

Just watching this, I’m about 25 minutes in and loving it 😊

Cheers, I’ll go and take a look at that forum.

I’m curious to know if Logic runs on an M1 MacBook Air with out any obvious limitations? I was holding off to see if the new MacBook Pros with upgraded M1 chips might be a better bet but with them starting at £1,900 I just can’t bear parting with that sort of money. Given the fanfare that greeted the first M1 chips when they were launched and all the talk of them blowing Intel chips out of the water, I’m assuming that even an entry-level M1 device should be up to the job.

Grandmaster eh? How very flash 😂

If you’re changing the pickups why not consider changing the wiring loom too? For around the same price as high mass bridge (which I wouldn’t bother with) a VVT with series/parallel switch in the tone pot will add an additional tonal option and a new loom may help with the noise too.

Wasn’t it a chorus on wherever I lay my hat? He used an Octaver on I’m gonna tear your playhouse down which is a different sound.

Come to think about it, I’m pretty sure it was that track that persuaded me to have my Precision bass maple fingerboard replaced with a fretless ebony board, which I still have and I’m still learning to play that bass line. 😂 In hindsight I regret doing that. I’d have been better off leaving it alone and buying a fretless Stingray instead. I’d be feeling rather smug now if I’d done that. 🤷‍♂️

It’s worth listening to the Paul Young albums from that period, No Parlez and The Secret of Association. Lots of classic Pino fretless playing. I’m pretty sure it his playing on these albums that sent his career in to the stratosphere; suddenly everyone wanted a piece of him after that.

I’ve just ordered two more Uni Tune clip on tuners (expecting delivery in the next hour or so). At £20 a pop they’re great value and work a treat. I can’t see the point of paying more for the Poly Tune version for a bass.

It’s a bye from me.

This is too much now, I’m gonna bail.

In a similar vein, this is something that potentially could have worked but completely misses the mark IMO. The unsullied original can’t be ‘improved’.

How’s that?

I also have both the Peterson and TC Unitune clip on tuners. I actually prefer the TC one as I find it easier visually, the moving strobe of the Peterson is difficult to hone in on steady setting. This is on an electric rather than an upright so YMMV.

Trouble with that strategy is when people get to #5 they think there’s something not right /overpriced with the non-ridiculous items and click away. I know I did 😉

Made in Norfolk, presumably by Norfolk and Chance? BTW is Langney in Norfolk?

It’s coming together nicely but I agree about the colour. Are you not planning on cutting a channel to allow truss rod adjustment?

That’s looking really nice. 😊

I’ve had the HB one for a while now and it’s been really useful. I was ordering some other stuff from Thomann so I just chucked it in with order to get it over the free shipping threshold.
