Didn’t use fretless 🥴

Whey! if I actually record fretless I’ll be shocked. Whenever I record fretless it makes me feel like when you hear your own singing voice - I cringe.

And the day arrives… Proper studio day. Doing all live takes today - then some overdubs for guitars. I felt the 602’s EP was too robotic and polished. I asked that we live tracked this new stuff. we’ve booked a local string quartet for some tracks and we have a Horn section doing some remote recording for us. Giddy for today. I think we’re doing 9 tracks.

There was a Shuker “artist” model which was similar to a Rob Allen. Ibanez did one too, about £600 Cort, as above. Spector Di the Spectorcore in the same style. and there was a lovely Status Electro for sale here, but not sure if it’s gone.

Crazy stuff

I use them - I love the feel - absolutely perfect compliance and smoothness. They last me about 4/5 rehearsals.

Old faithful- D’addario 45-100

So. In the studio tomorrow… Restrung the BB1600 as I wanted that p/j option. Removed from sale instantly.

Yeah, War On Drugs are on my playlist too… as is this - Sam guest vocal

@Lozz196 bought a power supply from me… That was easy 😉 deal in confidence

Going to see them in March. This letterman performance was the one that got me… https://youtu.be/GK4lD3Uf8_o

Wasn’t this the chap who’s upset a few folk and not sent goods? Former BC member?

I’m going under. I keep looking at eBay and marketplace… think I’m having withdrawals

Get a Gotoh 201b

260 its P only and doesn’t have those odd little box tuners. quite an upgradeable little thing… Plays great with new d’addario and a tweak - absolutely jealous 😂

Tell you what - it’s a belting bass. I’m just brushing back up on Green Day - she wants to learn stuff I was playing in 1997 😂

As I’ve found many many times…over and over, the “rightness” showers upon me…

She says the bb is too wide - the sabre is “too posh”. this RBX is clean, really tidy. And about 7.5/8lbs. Also…£75. Mental.

I’m still in, even though I picked up a yamaha today. It’s Ella’s first bass! ”dad I want a bass, I want a yamaha, I have £120” Fun fact - I joined Basschat the day she was born.

@lee650 has the Spector now… Gutted really, but I know he loves it. The Sabre is an absolute knockout, and I dare say, more suited to me than the Spector.
