The Lambo Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis

Ooh Aah... Just a Little Brit - Gina G

Dirty Mind -

Yup, that's me too. January's job is replacing all the batteries in all current gigging basses, and checking all the others. Ooh. Do you have a schematic of said circuit, pretty please?

I understand that better tuners were one of the improvements introduced for the Gen 2 basses. I did everything I could with my Gen 1's tuners, stripped 'em down and lubed 'em up (stop sniggering at the back) and experimented with washers and shims and everything, still couldn't get them feeling 'right', hence the Hipshot upgrade. Which of course brought the added advantage of the weight saving.

FWIW, here's mine. Only two things in it at the moment, the Line 6 wireless receiver and the G-B Shuttle 9.2 amp. The red-ringed socket on the front is the output from the Line 6, and I have a colour coded cable snake (red send, green return) to the FX board. Hence the green blob next to the amp input. The third plug in the back is a phone charger, just in case anything needs a top-up. It's all in the name of convenience.

I did, and for a second I thought I'd fallen through a wormhole into a seaside postcard from 1972.

Smooth - Santana

Yup, it's another ! I was looking at / listening to the latest Bass Gear Mag online (including @Dood's excellent review of the new Sire Vs) when my eye fell on one of the NAMM exhibitors, a builder called 'LEH'. They appear to be jolly nice basses in the main, but oh dear dear deary deario, what in the blinking buggery flip is going on with that headstock shape. It makes the old Lodestone one look elegant. https://www.lehguitars.com/

Tree Minute Hero - The Selecter

Wood Beez - Scritti Politti

Where Has Everybody Gone · Pretenders

Very old but not worn much -- it turned out to be a bit snug on me, I should have bought an L. It's spent quite a few years sitting in a drawer, so could do with an iron, but it's clean. The logos are very neatly embroidered. Collect from near Bristol, or bung me £3 for postage.

Folsom Prism Blues - Johnny Cash Point of order Mr Chairman... the perpetrator of that particular piece was Clive Dunn (and it was co-written by a certain Herbie Flowers). St Winifred's Borstal Choir were responsible for the even more stomach-churning 'There's No-One Quite Like Grandma', a song etched forever into my brain thanks to a car journey around that time, during which my young niece sang the chorus over and over again for at least half an hour.

I used something similar for my surprisingly heavy Behringer 60w combo, only mine were more like this - smaller and un-recessed. It's definitely worth doing, and the bigger recessed ones Dad posted above will be just the ticket for yours.

...and now of course, having said all that, I took it to rehearsal last night and oh my giddy bloody aunt, it sounds amazing through my gig rig. It cuts through like an extremely sharp thing hacking its way through something easily hackable. Perhaps I can live with the weight and the balance after all..? ❤️

The Covenant Of The Elder - Acedia

I imagine they would, but I don't run it from a PP3 so it's all good The pic probably makes the board look a lot bigger than it is; in reality it's about 32 x 22mm. Musikding's 'Nope' switch board is roughly the same size.

Danny Boy - trad.

The South East bash would be your closest, here's the thread from the 2023 one. Sounds like it would be right up your street, and I can guarantee that you would be more than welcome. If you fancied the drive, you'd be most welcome at the always-fabulous South West Bash too..!

I'm the third bloke who likes it, and yes so did I Sorry

I don't know whereabouts you are in the UK, but I can pretty much guarantee that there would be an awful lot of people who would be very interested to see your rig if you brought it along to a Bass Bash..!
