  1. Strings with a round core.
  2. Fair comment. Like you I do recognise the difference, but choose to overlook it because not all music is produced perfectly. Especially on YouTube. How old are you jack. if you don't mind me asking.?
  3. in my many years (I'm 43) of listening to music I don't think I've ever listened to a record that has been unlistenable..Especially because of the production. I think your being a little over dramatic Jack.
  4. Does anyone think he/his company might have over stretched themselves sales wise and in doing so compromised quality. Im not saying this is the case, Just a thought. Ive owned an Elwood 5 and it was superb. But,.. I went for a meal in Stratford 2 weeks ago. Was awful. Wifes food was cold, food was bad. Next night it might have been wonderful food. Wont ever go back, why would I bother and risk having a crap meal again when there're a hundred more restaurants that will take my money. Reputations can be destroyed with one bad experience. This meal was only £50. Adrians basses are over £1000. This is why builders like Roger Sadowsky are on the top of there game all the time.. He probably understands the power of TalkBass etc also.
  5. Im not sure what strap button the other strap hangs on to.?
  6. Mr Erskine with a Gruv Gear Duo Strap on. Lots of companies make them.
  7. Imo a heavy bass is a heavy bass. You might be able to shift the weight but your back muscles are still taking the weight in a certain part of your back no matter how wide the strap is. That said more muscles in the back to hold the weight are better than less. The double (over both shoulders) strap makes sense to me.
  8. Just bought an MXR octave pedal from Pete and it is literally brand new. Really well packed. Couldn't have gone better. Deal with him total confidence. Thanks mate
  9. That is a beauty. Loving that black headstock.
  10. Had a BBQ this afternoon, and had Original Musiquarium playing and I will always be amazed by the musicality of him and the musicians on this particular record, The horn section, the rhythm guitars , the backing vocals, his piano playing. The bass playing...Its up there with Willie Week's bass playing on Donny's live album, very different record of course. This spectacular playing from Nate is way up there as is Stevies harmonica playing and vocals. Don't be fooled by the shorter version. The full album version is the best. My ears are saying Andrew , you are at 100% musical enjoyment.
  11. My Favourite Christopher Cross record is Arthur's Theme. Is just sublime. Micheals vocals as far as I'm aware are not on this recording. Micheal McDonald's backing are missed quite a lot although his vocals are so recognisable up front. His vocals on some Steely Dan's records are just so very clever. Oh ill let it slide, it its a great record.
  12. Francis Hylton played bass on this record. He told me via FaceBook and he is my new best friend. 😂
  13. Mono M80 is well worth the £. Well protected for sure. Way more storage than the vertigo. Best bag in the business Imo.
  14. IMO. A Fantastic cover of Christopher Cross's Ride Like the Wind.
  15. I'm a little confused about the range of TC clip on tuners. Seem to vary in price. How many variations are there of the clip on tuners from TC Electronic.? Cheers.
  16. Pmd. I will take this please.
  17. You can buy industrial degreaser from Halfords. Spray the string and scrub with a fine brush or kitchen spong ( hard side). Degreaser strips all the grimE out of the windings. Like new.
  18. Pm is this still for sale.?
  19. That was my thought.
  20. Yes it came with chrome covers etc. Are you saying there are no drill holes at all in the body.?
  21. I had an MIJ Non Export 75 RI from 96, its was just lovely, 70's pickup spacing.. Had a Marcus Miller tone for sure. Played one with the 60's spacing and really couldn't tell the difference. Put an Audere preamp in it and it was a beast. The MIJ 75 RI's are fantastic. GLWTS
  22. Same bass here.
