    Fish, 'Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors'. Gorgeous fretless bass by the utterly awesome and much missed John Giblin. The mid/solo section of this track is an absolute highlight.

    Big Country, 'Steeltown'. Tony Butler is an absolute monster on this, superb melodic playing and a HUGE tone. And fabulous BVs too. Another guy to file under 'criminally underrated'.

    Donner Pocket Go

    Rich posted a topic in Effects

    Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Thought it sounded interesting, worth a punt for the price. Anyone else have any experience of this? I'm expecting it to be very guitar oriented, but I'm sure there'll be usable stuff in there. https://uk.donnermusic.com/products/donner-pocket-go-portable-preset-pedal-multi-effects-processor-for-guitar

    Please note that the word "retard" is not a pejorative. Thank you.

    Just for s__ts and giggles, I'm going to give the Donner Pocket Go a whirl. Anyone else tried one?

      That's not a skewer in my pocket, I'm just pleased to see you.

      Cheeky.

       

      I'm going to want something a bit more classy than a kebab supper then.  Maybe a West End show too...

    Been a while... any updates @MichaelDean?

    This, entirely.

    My list to Santa remains as unrealistic as ever: Wal Mk2/Mk3 5-string Yamaha TRB-5P 1965 Fender Jazz... ...or a Limelight replica

    By far the best bang-per-buck money I've spent this year was the <£100 I spent on my TC Electronic BG250-115 combo. Loud, portable and stupidly cheap. Scruffy, but who cares.

    Oh man, I had one of these back in the 80s. Gigged the blazes out of it. Wonderful big phat pharty sounds, I wish to god I'd never flogged it. In fact, that pattern of paint bubbling round the Roland logo on the right hand end looks so familiar, this might even have been my actual one.

    I've had a smattering of Yamaha basses, and they've without exception been superb instruments. The neck on my RBX765A was so good, I got Jon Shuker to copy the neck profile for the custom he built for me. I don't have a Yam at the moment, but I would sell a kidney for a TRB5P.

    Two of these, as new and completely unused. No marks of any sort, just dust. Bought with the intention of hanging a couple of basses up, but never got round to it. WYSIWYG -- no screws included, but those are easy to source from your friendly neighbourhood DIY emporium. M4 x 45mm seems to be the manufacturer's recommendation. Here's the Hercules product page: HCGSP-39WB PLUS - Hercules Stands Thomann are selling these at £15 a pop, but that doesn't include postage. I would far, far prefer to sell them as the pair, but will split if I really must. £13.50 each, both for £25.

    If I was to buy another bass, it would almost certainly be a shorty.

    The photo doesn't do the sapphire burst justice, it is utterly gorgeous in the flesh. If I was to buy one, it would absolutely be in that blue. And IMO, they are damned fine basses. Surprisingly versatile sound.

    A Chowny CHB would be a great one if you can find one for a good price.

    Ditto and ditto. Still got my 406QM and it's not uncomfortable at all.

    Rather more secure than my old brown factory case! When I took it back to Paul the other week, he expressed amazement that the piano hinge was still intact

    Just to go on-topic for a second (shock!), a quick straw poll of my basses reveals that apart from my very first bass, a '65 Höfner, every instrument is active. Even the ones that started out passive. I guess I just like them that way.
  24. Rich
    Well, that black Les Paul bass did cause me some peculiar stirrings...
  25. Rich
    Nah. Needs a bigger knob.
