What a great idea

The RM’s are excellent, so are the ABM’s. I went from an ABM500RC (evo2 or 3 - can’t remember) to the RM800H and the sound was very similar. Loved that head. Small, light and loud as sin.

@Hiis contact BTN music - they carry spares for all Sorts of Yamahas. The last pickups like that were on the Bb424/x

Well...just getting going...and another lockdown. Anyhow. Feels this journey is complete for now. tried editing 2 videos and audio together on iMovie (iPhone) and couldn’t get it to behave. So...here’s a video of a song we’ve been working on...me and Tom playing (the other angle is Max and Andy guitar) The rehearsal space is closing, but the studio will run for drum takes so...we might get to do what we want during lockdown.

Good bridges these Hosco units. Nicely finished, I’ve used a couple on self builds.

Aye - it really has great depth in the finish.

Tomorrow night mate 😉

Was just about to say this

FFS... fancied a blue amp jewel (the “on” light) as EBS seems to use blue in a lot of their stuff. bought a blue jewel. arrived...put it on. The light on the reidmar it’s a yellow LED in there...makes the blue jewel shine yellow 😂😂😂

Did they make them in 2006?

“Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver.[4] The ‘friends with their fancy persuasions’ cites in the lyrics, are said to be in reference to The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver’s management.[5]” From Wikipedia 😉

You want the sadowsky. All of my basses are attractive...like...beautiful gender less items made of wood...

You ever seen the guy with his Range Rover which seems to float around the internet? I can’t share... My basses have names ”the red Spector” ”the blue sadowsky” ”that orange Yamaha everyone wants to buy...” “The fretted jazz, the fretless jazz” 😂

Roysters T-Bone steak multipack or the deal’s off.

3 bags of space raiders and you’ve got a deal

I use an apogee jam+ works brilliantly - wish I’d bought a 2 input version really...but, does for the basslines and demos I send.

Price is £1000 ”will you take £500 and a packet of quavers” Always my opening gambit.

It puts me off - I know some people really bond with their instruments. Mine rarely stick around long enough 😂😂😂

I worked with a guy once in a guitar shop...how he sold anything is beyond me. ”sounds like snowflakes falling on a frozen lake” ”now you’ve bought her, you need to name her” stuff like that. awful. He was put on a disciplinary eventually after 4 months of missed targets, We’d found a folder on our workstation PC full of poetry he’d been writing while we’d been working... ”isn’t she beautiful?” ’it’s a second hand Mexican strat mate...’ I think he moved to another branch and quit in the end. A lovely lovely bloke, just toe curling at times.

Guitars, basses, cars... giving these items genders or names. ”she’s a beauty...” 🙁 “here’s my SWEET AXE, L@@k 🍌 SHE’s called LORESHA”

Workhorse basses, sub £350 you’re laughing

Thinking for myself...there’s definitely a regained enthusiasm for Spector basses. Looking at possibility of a Euro TW for new year. Just so ive not got 2 the same.

Yeah - a proper set neck, 2 pickup version. not a p/j bass 😔

There was a planned Rivoli Reissue a few years ago, they did some casinos with trans shell pickguards and lighter bursts etc. I waited, waited and waited...the guitars came and went, the basses just disappeared off the price list. there was a photo of one on the initial press release. It was more like - the casino was denoted as 1961 reissue.

Like L@@K on eBay...
