Might be a Jaydee owners Facebook community? Worth putting a plea out there? I guess pass on as much info as you’ve got and you’re happy divulging. I sold a mid 70’s Fender precision fretless for peanuts to a music exchange shop in Notting hill to pay rent back in 1988. That bass got me a lot of work back then, and I miss it every day. Unlikely to ever afford to replace it now. Good luck with your search.

His brother Windy was very good in that TV series. Trumped his sibling by some margin, imho

Out of context with the artist/song, I wouldn’t have a clue. I’m impressed that anyone could.

I stayed in touch with Thumper after his Finnbass demise.

Yes Nigel(??) did like a spat, although I didn’t mind his confrontational approach. Waynepunkdude is the only member I’ve had a keyboard confrontation with here though. Spurs fan, so that’s probably why. 😂

Seems only fair, given that BE owned every bass player 😂

Yeah. I’m thinking rehearsing with a couple in a band situation might be best. Not having experience of pedals, I can see that it could be a deep old rabbit hole, bit like double bass strings.

Been looking at one of those Stew, they look like a lot of fun. I think I need to try some different pedals in a rehearsal to get some “sonic context”.

I do simple. I like simple. I play P basses. Simple 😂 However, for this project I am using a 5 string MM, so that’s more strings and controls than my brain usually has to deal with. An additional element needs to be as simple as possible. 🤪

I bought a Boss FT-2 the other day. Sounded great, but made me realise that “synth” is more what I’m after for the music we write.

I found it interesting how little they appeared to know about the kit they were using. PM stating he didn’t know what the controls did on his bass. JL didn’t appear to realise his guitar was out of tune. I found it refreshing how un-nerdy about gear they appeared to be.

Doh! Sorry 🤦🏻‍♂️

No but dep’ed for a band playing for Royal Engineers officers mess pre tour bash in a marquee at the barracks. When we plugged in all our kit (pa, backline, lights, plus disco and mobile bar fridge) into provided sockets, there was a bang and all the power went down. We followed the trail of 4 gang sockets that all led to one extension lead plugged into a socket in the kitchen. The mess colour sergeant was very apologetic and (quietly) chuntered that “if it were a foot soldiers party, there would have been generators, etc. but what do you expect from the “Ruperts”. Makes you proud. 😂

What’s that?

How many days? Didn’t quite catch that 😂

I’ve just seen a video demo of the digitech bass synth wah pedal. That looks very interesting and I can see me using it in the trio definitely. Thoughts/experience anyone?

Like the one @ped is selling?

Looking at the Carl Martin opto envelope filter and the Eden too. Blimey there’s a lot of choice. Pedals are a rabbit hole you could disappear down for a loooong time 🐰🤪😳
