    @d_g in my mind your rug is becoming as associated with the finer end of the bass guitar spectrum as is @walshy’s map 👍
  2. Beedster
    And yes, largely a matter of taste not of optimal mechanics in any pure sense 👍

    My preference is on the board, I had an old Warmoth that arrived from the US without a nut and it played so well - albeit with a capo I placed on the headstock to keep the strings in position - that I left it like that 👍 YMMV 🙂

    Of course drop me a PM if still interested. Chris

    Hi folks, apologies the parts are in my studio and I'm still not there to photo them. Either way the Squier body has gone (sorry @Sharkfinger and @MungoBass)

    One of the best ics you can get for this sort of money, great for anything from BBC-style voiceovers to screamers! Both bought from new in 2020 and used relatively lightly for podcasting only since then (in short they've not been subjected to the volume and saliva of any of those screamers!). In fact I doubt either has had more than 100 hours use in total. I've recently bought another Townsend L22 meaning that I'm using that pair for podcasting duties these days, hence the sale. £200 each of £350 for the pair, will be sent in original packaging.

    I was building up a couple of Fenderalike bitsas but have frankly run out of both time and enthusiasm, I get little enough time to play the things these days let alone build them up! So I have a lot of high quality parts for sale. Pics to follow 👍 John East P-Retro (unarguably the gold standard of Precision pre-amps). £100 John East J-Retro (arguably the gold standard of Jazz Bass pre-amps). £100 Seymour Duncan SPB-1/SJB-1 PUPs (sold as pair only). £100 Wizard Thumper P-Bass PUP: £50 Nordstrand NP4A P-Bass PUP new/boxed: £70 . Badass II bridge chrome: £75 Un-named Precision body routed for P/J PUPs (60's position) natural light oil finish. Fender fit pocket: £75 Warmoth Telebass neck, needs some TLC on finish but structurally sound and playable £125 Unnamed maple board fretless Jazz Bass neck: £50 Should have pics up in a couple of hours Chris 33CF772C-EB65-451F-9A1A-7864E1DE43BB_1_201_a.heic 33CF772C-EB65-451F-9A1A-7864E1DE43BB_1_201_a.heic

    Beedster replied to gjamer's topic in Recording

    That can't really be argued with 👍

    It is this one and folds up smaller than I remember so can post if needs be 👍

    Hi, I'm in Whitstable, if I remember correctly it's one of these https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/miscellaneous-musical-instrument-stands/konig-meyer-14160-electric-double-bass-stand?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=17858053119&utm_term=&adgroup=&creative=&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2JbI_pSAgwMVppJQBh3M-QwaEAQYBCABEgL7kfD_BwE I'll check tomorrow 👍

    Standard EUB stand should do it, I’ve a spare you can have gratis if you can arrange collection?
  12. Beedster
    Defo a trad feel to the basses on show, and nothing at all wrong with that 👍
  13. Beedster
    I’ll take them 👍
  14. Beedster
    No information re location, genre, level? Where do I sign up?
  15. Beedster
    Perceived bass tone (to bass player) = Actual tone/10 - Expected tone/10 Moderate performing low expectation bass = 5 - 0 = 5 Moderate performing high expectation bass = 5 - 10 = -5 In short a Squier has far more chance of being perceived by a bass player as an exceptional instrument than a Fender Custom Shop. But only the bassist experiences the expectation, the audience don't, so only actual tone really matters 👍
  16. Beedster
    I have rounds on one fretless and flats on the other and generally much prefer the tone and playability of the flats
  17. Beedster
    Is anyone prepared to share the does and don’ts of running a thread on Basschat? 😆
  18. Beedster
    Yep, festival we were booked to play a while back had the same, need I say more…… 😕
  19. Beedster
    Then you accept it or leave. I find it amazing how many musicians suffer the indignity of egotistical leaders/members as if there’s no choice…

    Your girlfriend sleeping with your Dad (who’s also your Uncle)…. …..although that might be Bluegrass?

    A band is like sports team, if one member is flipping it up the collective performance they’re out and replaced with a better tram player, irrespective of ‘talent’
  22. Beedster
    That’s quite probably the trick here 👍
  23. Beedster
    That's how to sell a bass 👍
  24. Beedster
    Sorry to see you're letting it go mate, I'm guessing you don't need another Pfretzschner (and a few electrics) in PX....? Silly question of course, but I'm certainly tempted to sell my Pfretzschner and raise the remainder from selling a load of EBs, that Bryant's a once in a lifetime double bass 👍
  25. Beedster
    Any good way to stop this happening? Decent etiquette/discipline on stage, simple as that. In my bands there are two types of players, those who understand audio and who are allowed to touch things once set up, and those who don’t and who aren’t. The idea that any individual player can simply change their settings to suit some immediate perceptual/emotional/ego need doesn't get past the grown ups in the band 👍
