    Making current models Pre-Hohner Hofners 👍

    No I'll be taking an M-Pulse and a rather interesting Mesa cab with 1x10 and 2x6 (essentially top part of a 1516). I've yet to find a room in which that rig sounds anything less than bloody good Top cab here....
  3. Beedster
    True 👍

    So, last night we rehearsed in a room about 50m from the room above and it couldn't have been more different. Lovely rehearsal space, very well designed and maintained, but with a Mark Bass head and Ampeg portaflex cab that no matter what I did EQ-wise would not punch through, I had to rely on a nebulous rumble to fill out the bottom end in most songs, bloody glad I had a fretted with me as I simply could not hear the note. Next time we use that room I'm taking my own rig

    You do if you're watching Chris Wood..... 👍

    Frankly I’d get a different bass, pretty clear the QC on this model is poor
  7. Beedster
    …and narrow frets 👍

    Wood is wood, they will all vary, but Jazz width, shallow, and small headstock will be lighter all other things being equal. Material of truss rod will be a factor also

    Exactly 😆 There's a song by Dylan, I forget which one, and it has the most awful dissonance at one point - it's in a sax solo - to the point that it makes my teeth hurt! My bandmate's can't hear it, or more to the point, it isn't dissonant to them. Brains are funny things

    BTW it has NOT been explained, sensation and perception are a major player in audio, what happens inside the skull can be as important as what goes on outside it.

    Some people don’t like sunburst finishes, some do 👍

    A placebo effect is still an effect 👍
  13. Beedster
    Agreed 👍

    Flats on a stingray are glorious 👍 But then flats on any decent bass are glorious 🙂

    Preference requires no inference 👍

    Irrespective of the science, I prefer 15s also 👍
  17. Beedster
    Plus 1 to all of these 👍

    They’ll come after Basschat next 🤔
  19. Beedster
    Yes, this is most certainly not a data capture exercise it is 100% aimed at revenue generation
  20. Beedster
    Absolutely, Chris Wood is about as good as it gets on DB and both MMW and The Wood Brothers are well worth a listen 👍

    ….which is why I’m going to wait and see, I don’t relish defending an HMRC demand for income tax on ebay sales that are in most cases a used item sold for significantly less than I paid for it new. Also eBay can be pretty brutal to sellers, and while it seems ludicrous to suggest it now, I wouldn’t bet against a future scenario in which they withhold or reclaim money that HMRC believes it’s owed….

    Not really playing this so up for sale again 👍

    That’s not eBay that’s HMRC, I’ve had my account suspended because I didn’t provide the data. I’m sure it’s probably OK and a sign of the times but I’m not really wanting to find ebay sales factored into my taxable income so thought I’d wait a while and see how the dust settles
  25. Beedster
    Agreed, I’m going to get creative on this 👍
