Low End Bee

Thanks all. 118 views. That’s positively viral for us....

Grab your Kia-Ora for this big budget sci-fi extravaganza.... warning. Involves a Mustang not sounding like a Mustang.

From the Studio wav file I’m afraid youtube sound conversion wasn’t as good as now in 2013.

And another one

No. It’s straight stat style switching. More than enough for me. I’m used to just having just the one pickup on my other basses.

OK. Nut 43mm and centre of low E to high E 35mm. Bridge centre of E to E 52mm. 9lb 8oz on the scales First impressions are very good. Nicely finished and set up. No sharp fret ends. The pickups sound pleasing if slightly middy. All 5 switch positions are very useable. The only small issue is on the headstock. The logo is a bit smudged and the truss rod adjustment cavity has a little black residue, from a dirty hex key I guess. It's a lot of fun to play. I'm enjoying abusing it with my basic lead lines and the odd chord foray. Great value for money.

Will do. Be interesting to see if this is any good. Rolling the dice on this one as we’ve got a couple of new songs on the go that a Bass VI style sound could work on.

Who knows if it's going to be any good? Didn't see any launch info anywhere. I couldn't resist. Even with that Bass VI bridge that looks all wrong. Got one of these coming on Friday. https://www.andertons.co.uk/burns-short-scale-jazz-six-bass-shadows-white-ssj-b6-sw

Bought a Zander Sono from SK8. Super easy deal. All perfect. Big thumbs up.

I bought a purple Squier Bullet Tele for £140. £12 black scratchplate added. It's amazing for the money. No sharp fret ends and a low action straight from the box. I love it.

Well. We made top 10 from 197 submissions on Tom Robinson's Fresh On The Net Fresh On The Net Faves and were in TR's top 5 too. Very chuffed considering the song and band didn't even exist a month ago.

There's the Glitter Band. Oh. Hang on a minute.....

3 songs now on the Youtube channel http://www.kellermachine.band

A collaboration with an old band member from the Jetsonics. It's A Fender JMJ Mustang with Labella flat on this but you'd never know... Electropoptastic

Reason 1. The top horn looks like a marital aid. Reason 2. The tuners look like they were put on by a well known eBay improver. Reason 3. They probably sound great and play nicely but you will always be thinking of reason 1 or 2 or both.

I'll throw in Richard Hell.

First concert - Rich Kids at the Nashvile, Jan 1978. First time without parental lack of control. My Mum had taken me to Hawkwind at the Roundhouse when I was 10 amongst others. . Last concert - Australian Pink Floyd in Halifax last November (girlfriends choice) Enjoyed more than I thought I would. Best concert - Clash and Specials - Music Machine Oct 1978? Adrenaline overload. Amazing gig. Worst concert - Circulus - St Pauls, Brentford about 5 years ago? I'm trying to forget. Loudest concert - Wildhearts Camden Palace/Motorhead Hammy Odeon. Deaf after both. Seen the most - The Members probably Most surprising - Cameo Hammersmith 85 ish? Really rocked and funked the place. Excellent fun. I thought they'd be like the Four Tops or something live. I was very wrong. Next concert - Next one booked isLevellers in Holmfirth in May. Probably sneak some in before though Wish I would have seen - Radio Birdman or Soundtrack of Our Lives I guess. Kept missing them.

The Monkees

Kipper. Nice gloves

On the Gov website https://www.gov.uk/government/news/guitar-maker-fined-4-5m-for-illegally-preventing-price-discounts They got a discount on the fine too... They were also fined £25,000 for hiding notebooks in their East Grinstead head office according to the Guardian which may be the most Reggie Perrin Grot industries thing ever.

This could fit the bill? https://eastwoodcustoms.com/projects/peter-hook-signature/

Yoi could cover most of this in one hit with '1977' by the Clash and have Mr Presley thrown in gratis. "No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones In 1977" Followed by Fernando...
