Hi all, I don't suppose anyone has a Bartolini Precision pickup that's hanging around in a drawer that I could borrow for a little bit? They have have smaller dimensions that 'Standard' precision pickup casings, and just want to see that I'm happy with how it fits (looks) in my bass with no scratch plate (therefore a naked rout). I'd then be looking to order directly from Bart most likely, do you don't need to be selling it, just not using it Si -
I can’t recommend La Bella flats highly enough (obviously the shortscale ones). Just put a set on my Mustang bass and it’s singing! Si

Although they don’t have the Höfner flats in stock at the moment, Bass Direct have the other specialist sets in at £38 inc shipping. So not quite £30, but certainly not £50, guessing they could get them in pretty quick, and no big waits in customs lol. I went over to La Bella strings a few months ago and haven’t looked back, fantastic Flats, really cool Nylons, and even Nickels (RX’s) that have turned me back onto Roundwounds! Those Flats will be coooool on the Hofner! Si

Well yeah I bet, sorry you had some problems. Take a day to decompress (no pun intended), and crack on having some fun Si

That’s the first time i’ve ever heard of that happening! As you can imagine, there’s not a great deal going on with the software, it contains the driver and ability to route signal in different ways through the Clarett, it’s not asking for any in-depth system or boot permissions etc. Now’s it’s all reinstalled etc, everything working ok? Si

Ai, but you’re talking abou selling bothof them Keep the ‘73, sell the Roadworn, and find a way to make up the rest for a Jaydee. I’d put money on you selling the Jaydee before the Wal or ‘73 later down the line Si

You’re considering selling a Precision to buy a Jaydee....for recording purposes?! ......said no-one ever lol Want the perfect recording bass, keep a Precision, if you want something flashy for a jam night, then maybe the Jaydee is perfect, but that’s about it lol. Si

You’d bet correctly! Si

I don’t have it yet, but I can’t help posting the finished pictures!! 😍 Should have it next week I think! Specs you can’t see, dual coils with a East Uni-Pre. Si

It’s a date! Si

Dammit I missed that yesterday haha Si

Oooooo: Si

Sonic Red? Blasphemy!! Next they’ll be releasing a Fiesta Blue Great looking range though in all seriousness! Si
-
Yup, regular Jubilee Gold, the finish is superb!! Si
-
Yeah they’re really great for the price! I have a fretless Jive, and it’s excellent! Si

Really? It's hard to tell if you like an instrument with 14 days of playing and two rehearsals? I agree that home playing isn't the same as gigging, but then surely is the onus not on the purchaser to buy a bass at a time when they have gigs/rehearsals booked so that they can make an informed decision? Si

Have a LOT of time for her. Whether you like the music/performances or not (I think she’s great), she’s a flawless singer! Si

That is a plan i'm still weighing up - whether to create a new FB account just as me the bass player/singer/musician/painter etc etc, and keep it for professional arts/music stuff, gig dates, videos etc.
But then again i realise the number of people who 'liked' my posts telling them about forthcoming gigs etc didnt actually translate into any of them actually coming along! I'd be better off just texting the people i know who live nearby and might fancy it.

I’m running La Bella shortscale flats on my Mustang bass, and tjey’re fantastic. Mine are the Mustang specific flats, which are optimized for through-body stringing, but they obviously make flats for bridge stringing too. Bass Direct have a whole heap here: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LaBella_Flatwound_strings.html Si

Earth flag anyone? Si

I think what Wintermute was referring to was using a 2nd hand Clarett 8Pre to expand your channel count at a later date. Whilst primarily they are an interface, they can be used standalone as a preamp outputting digitally to whatever interface you’re using (assuming it has the appropriate digital ins). One thing to consider with getting a ‘cheap’, non-matching channel strip for expansion at a later date is that you may well notice a different in quality between that cheap preamp set and your better quality interface. Just because bear in mind :). Maybe just cross that bridge when you come to it, concentrate on the main interface for now, and as long as it has an ADAT in connection, you’re future-proof. Si

I don’t think anyone is suggesting we shouldn’t discuss the acts or the program etc, but there is a lot of posts to the effect of ‘the program is awful, all the acts are awful, may as well be canned’ just because that person doesn’t like any of the music. The program should stay, all of the acts mean a lot to someone....just not you perhaps. Turn to your preferred way of discovering music instead. And yes, there is a LOT of amazing music happening at the moment in all genres, don’t think so? You’re not trying hard enough to search it out. Si

Not sure what the thread is about anymore lol Si

The SBL podcast is often poorer audio (in comparison to professional productions) due to the interviewee’s technology restrictions, and that doesn’t effect the fact I want to hear want someone has to say about bass etc. Obviously I’m not talking about unlistenable audio, but there is clearly a difference between a free/volunteer podcast (which this would have to be really, when you consider that SBL & Groove is free) vs an audio-book, which is the level of audio I consider ‘professional’. Bear in mind this is going to be a volunteer venture to start with, unless Ped says otherwise, I doubt there will be any expenses....that would require a sponsor, which requires significant listeners Labour of love.
