Can’t find my nut files 😒

If “Mec” is actually on the covers I’ll be so happy

Holding off for tonight. worked 7.30-4 and then 5.30-9 and I’m seeing numbers and letters with a migraine the size of Canada. I’m sorry it’s not the finish line. 😣

Boodang sent me a lovely TC spectradrive. It was so beautifully packed, and arrived faster than a shop would send it. Heroic - many thanks. Andy

Those guys are ridiculous. If only I didn’t have a day job and 4 kids to look after 😂
-
Im very relieved it’s sold
-
You should. 😜

Blummin eck. Noice -
Yeah - does a bit of everything. I’d say the sabre did “ray” better.
-
Er. Its the notes out of one of our tracks (soon to be released) but played like a level 42 song called “43” I think. message me your number in a bit - I’ll send the rough mixdown of the track. To be honest - I had my bass hands on that day, not my knackered hams I have today 😂
-
right. Now beer. need to remember that Neck pickup is right there. But this is a great bass with plenty of sounds. I’ll do Some better vids when I’m not brain dead and 24,000 steps into a day 😂
-
need to do something about my demo licks. Proper pants. anyhow - brand new strings, straight from work. now time for a beer 😄

Always thought the big Al looked ace. Weirdly, it’s probably a bit more conventional than the bongo in appearance. like the caprice and cutlass p/j & p - maybe it was a solution for a problem which didn’t exist. What do I know? Anyhow. Just in from work. Going to cobble together a video (no talking, just some out of practice playing). Will go through the pickups and eq etc. should be ok for the curious.

I did some stuff on a guitar for a mate and he “paid” me with this - handy 🤣 Its a really decent overdrive, and sounded much warmer and nicer than the previous drive pedal I had. I’ve just bought a TC Spectradrive, so this and my comp are up for sale. Here are some pictures- 1 reply

Got this recently but another comp/drive pedal I’ve been after has come up which I’ve bought. I’m not big into pedals. So won’t keep them for the sake of it - I know others do. But this is a lovely compressor - apparently there are 3 versions of this pedal and this is the one to own. on the face of it, it’s a very clean pedal…the underside has seen better days - but it works and sounds great. Velcro for pedalboard and works with battery or mains. Ive used it for 2 rehearsals and loved the sound overall. Used it for some recordings too and it did a great job. Anyhow - Here it is. -
Desert gold for the bongo.

Time for some fun
-
Yeah - feels nice, smooth satin on the back. 4 clover 1/2” ultralights on order. total spend on the fix is a bit high. But never bin a good bass. need to find my draw full of pickguard screws.
-
Yeah @Owenhas claimed the neck
-
Sooo…yeah. Looks like I’m ordering the hipshot ultralights. Neck holes are pre drilled. A little wax and pre fit screw check…all good. but I’m not getting into pressing the bushes in. Will be a nice bass when it’s done. Needs a good clean still.
-
The first version was just vvt with two double jazz pickups - glossy finish. The second version (like this one) had the rotary. im going to offer up existing machineheads (gently) and then make a decision. Neck has arrived. feels like it weighs less than the original neck.
-
@OllyWi had read this - will see what’s what. I’m not rushing with it as I’ve not got anything on with the band this week. is the back of the head pre drilled for machineheads?
-
“Awww this old thing?” Never works. Love this @bigmuff69 should’ve got one when I worked in a shop; I recall they had a definite stingray flavour.
