It’s a beauty of a bass - and I was stumped as I’d not experienced the issue you were describing. Maybe I need to get my hearing tested 😂 Enjoy x

I dunno. Atelier Z and a few other Japanese builders have done s/MM/s J basses before, and while he’s not the slickest bass player I’ve ever seen - he’s no slouch. Initially it sounds a bit dead, but when he’s describing the 3 pickups, switching and Pre, it sounds great - lots of useable sounds. visually, quite cluttered...but sounds great.

Well yeah, I read back over this thread earlier today. Ive gone through more band members than basses in 2020 - isn’t that shocking? 😂

Two recent rehearsal performances nicely edited by our very own @PatrickJ

Again, @PatrickJ managed to mix the first video I posted with another angle, just feels much better (thanks mate xxx)

Kiedis.

Well, had a chat with our very own @PatrickJ who’s kindly messed about with video and audio. (Thank you mate - beers on me x) so this is the original “guitarist audition” track... but live.

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
