    With no disrespect to anyone who has/does, I really struggle to understand why anyone would entrust anything of any value to Evri, they are a mass-market small parcel business delivery service that clearly has a 20% loss and/or damage rate built into it's KPIs. Hope this works out but for god's sake, next time don't use Evri (I won't tell you my horror story - it was an incoming and expensive parcel (studio gear) but suffice to say I wouldn't use them unless they paid me the equivalent value of the item in question as a deposit first. I specify with sellers that if they use Evri I'm not buying)

    That's a good point Re 'in the wrong place' does it really matter if we all know where it is and how to get there? For me it's probably a more useful forum than A&C, and given thread titles can on occasion be misleading - meaning I might miss a useful PA-related thread in A&C - I'm pleased we've got it. Thanks mods 👍

    @JohnDaBass Do you have a link to the build diary thread, can't find it 👍

    Life would be so simple.......

    You’d still hear it if it were pointed in the opposite direction mate 👍

    Carbine M6 is up there with the SVT-II as an amp every bass player needs to own at one stage or another. Extremely versatile while at the same time gloriously simple to get a great tone. And loud as f**k 👍

    Do I need this bass? No Do I want this bass? Hell yes Am I going to buy it? Damn I'm trying hard not to, I've reached a point with my basses as which I've found the bass I play the most is a fretless Precision with the Wizard PUP wired straight to the O/P socket, there's something wonderfully honest (and DB-like) about the need to derive tone and volume from fingers and not electrics. Also, the more I have to tinker with, the more I tinker, a tinker free bass is so much less stress

    Not easy to sell a DB at the best of times, but absence of photos and whereabouts probably renders it 0% chance

    The Tech 12 Fly Bass rig looks almost looks like they had fretless in mind when they put it together, is it any good?

    So, had something of a catastrophe, bridge down mid-rehearsal, soundpost fell. Never had this happen before. Should I be looking to use a soundpost tool and do it myself or are there any issues with doing this on an aluminium instrument I need to consider? I guess I would simply unscrew the body and reinstall it but suspect that might introduce a whole new set of problems

    Nice 👍
  14. Beedster
    Not a criticism BTW 👍

    Pedal board for a minimalist feels a little bit contradictory?
  16. Beedster
    Yes, but some rather odd narrative on the site, perhaps lost in translation?

    The Flea Bass they wouldn’t make for Flea?

    Moment I saw it I thought ‘Damn, frets….’ 🤔

    Thomas & George Martin of course

    Good opportunity to learn how to do your own bridge, some lovely online content (especially good piece from an Oxford luthier whose name escapes me). £500 buys a lot of blanks 👍

    A different age 😕

    Keep practicing seems to be the best advice given the above The boring bit. Also make sure you're staying hydrated (hydration and concentration tend to correlate once you get past a certain level of fatigue), perhaps have a couple of coffees (not energy drinks, sugar can be a double-edge sword) during the set, avoid alcohol, and get enough sleep ahead of the gig 👍

    I think I'm in love ❤️

    Hi Richard, hope the new rig's going well. The manual for the Doubler is here https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1458105/Euphonic-Audio-Iamp-Doubler-2.html#manual I forget what the I/Ps are but I'm pretty sure you can run the two above units, I used a magnetic PUP and a mic into each channel happily.
