    Bought this beauty from Gyrus last month… it was bought to be a “spare” but ended up so much more… so, I bought it with a Squier pickup and loom, dodgy tuners (listed as such). first move - tuners. 1980’s Tokai Japan units - work well, big backplate jobbies… then a posh p pickup - Lakland USA unit Brand new strap buttons - Gotoh oversized fitted… and a new fender pickup cover/ashtray fitted… the good… it plays and sounds ace its very light - 8lbs it really, really looks the part the neck is gorgeous, maple cap on maple, truss Rod works well the bad…well, not horrific body is a ply job, but it’s decent pickup is a bit misaligned - on d/g side, there is a pickguard on the way to sort, if it arrives after you buy it; I’ll post it on. Body is probably 80’s Korean or Japanese Neck is 70’s Japanese; the decal is over the lacquer so can be sanded off - but it looks ace. there are marks/dinks/scratches. But it’s a very solid bass. Sounds warm and lovely, but can bite/spank. postage will be £20 in UK i will accept cash on collection bank transfers PP G&S (I can invoice for pp credit) - plus fees PP F&F if I know you or have sold to you before. only reason for sale is that a Yamaha I’ve been after has come up… ta Andy

    The Napster/some kind of monster stuff was the end really. “: At that time, the managers suggested that we have a psychotherapist come in. A man that meets with pro ball teams, you know - big-ego, big-dollar guys that can't get along, but have to make some kind of entity flow, so everybody else and everybody can make the money. And, uh, I actually said, "I think that this is really f*cking *lame* - weak - that we cannot get together. Us! Look - the *biggest heavy band of all time*! The things we've been through and decisions we've made... about squillions of dollars and squillions of people... and this? We can't get over this?" He was right. And coincidentally they’ve done nowt worth a hoot in the time since…which is a shame.

    Was interesting. We usually record with a zoom H2 thing for reference, but we have discussed plumbing everything into an interface. Bit of a learning curve as none of us are sound engineers - but we can all record at home. So we managed it in the end with some support from a mate of the band. Recorded 4 tracks…here’s one Think this was our 8th rehearsal

    These are the 4 we did yesterday - everything DI’d/Mic’d up. Drummer was out of shot, it’s a shared room so his kit is way over to the left. Looking at sorting some way to multi angle etc. But this was just to see how much better being able to mix was rather than h2 room. Drummer is getting an x32 at some point. Enjoy!

  8. AndyTravis

    Manchester in January, at the top of a mill…yup. It was 1 degree when we started… the heaters (as seen in vid) are absolutely insufficient 😞

    https://www.facebook.com/share/79yh6Jirwbbu6i3Y/?mibextid=WC7FNe saw some action yesterday, the bass was actually DI’d from the head. But sounded great in the room.

    There’s a thread I started in about October, “does anyone feel like just giving up” - that’s now got its own 2 legs and has wandered away from me. I didn’t give up. And I joined this lovely bunch. Heres a rehearsal we did yesterday https://www.facebook.com/share/79yh6Jirwbbu6i3Y/?mibextid=WC7FNe

    https://www.facebook.com/share/79yh6Jirwbbu6i3Y/?mibextid=WC7FNe This is the rehearsal we did yesterday. Now I feel like giving up pies. Thought the camera added 10lbs, not 20! 😆
