    They were... my God. Ruby Turner is a diamond, though. Always nice to see her on.

    Yep, I'm the same. Drop the pickup height as well. Evens everything out nicely.

    Cheers for all the kind comments, everyone. I'll pass them on to him. You're absolutely right 🙂 Maruszczyk: Lightweight, modern-sounding P/J LPB Limelight: Smooth, fat 'Burst '73: A little bit growlier than above Black '72: Aggressive top, great with rounds 'Burst '71: Fretless, innit Lots of bas(s)es covered, there...

    MOD NOTICE: Right, you lot - to spare our sanity, I've just merged a load of 'same' threads into one king-sized pile of nonsense. If anyone has any objections, please feel free to write it on a bit of paper and put it straight in the bin. Cheers 🙂

    WoT Snr is far, far handier on the tools than I am. He's just built me a stand, and it's marvellous. Have a look...

    Stop what you're doing and go here: https://www.hearformusicians.org.uk/ You can get custom-moulded ACS Pro 17s for £40. They're incredible.

    If these are as close to the Promethean as I hear they are, this is a steal.

    The BFB 610 seems to be a very sensitive cab. I imagine the WB-100 BFB would give you plenty of usable volume*. *Disclaimer: never tried it, so can't be sure.

    One account only, please. If you think you need two, you need to find something else to occupy your time.

    Sold some strings to Tomas - great transaction. Thanks!

    4. It's got a chambered body, and balances perfectly.

    My Maruszczyk Jake is 7.2lbs, and none-the-worse for it. If only they could all be like that.

    A few more pics to whet your whistles - this is the case it comes with. I'm open to (sensible) offers 🙂

    Hell yes...

    ...singing 'Putting on the Style' amongst others. Elvis also sang Lonnie's 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again'. There can't be many (any?) others who've had songs covered by Elvis AND The Beatles... 🙂
  22. wateroftyne
    It's worth bearing in mind Lonnie's band never used a tea chest bass 🙂
  23. wateroftyne
    Ah, well... I can possibly help a bit here (with the caveat that I don't play upright bass) :-) Lonnie's old songs are - often - incredible. It's a shame he's more well known for tat like Chewing Gum and Dustman. Listen to Black Girl, for example. It's not a million miles from Nirvana's version. It's basically about dynamics, breathless energy and that relentless pulse which comes from the bass. Chris Barber is the source for this, really. Check out Lonnie & Van Morrison's latter-day album 'The Skiffle Sessions'. it's incredible. Here's something I was part of for a number of years - just incredible fun, and the audiences love it.

    I played a song with three accordions in it last night, and survived.

    It's pretty common practice. Preamp valves don't glow, 'cos there's not enough power involved. Power amp valves do.
