Mykesbass

Yes, terrible (by a couple of contributors). I guess the silence on my thread is much better 😎

Don't apologise - I think all musical related memorium threads should be in General, not Off-Topic. I've missed a few as I so rarely venture into the murky depths of OT.

Loads of new original material for a new band. Really happy with my ability to learn new parts (been making up my own for last few years), and surprised myself at getting my fingers around some fairly compley bits where bass plays unison with guitar. Looking forward to first rehearsal on Tuesday.

Gulp, forgotten now. There's a mid boost switch, a coil tap push pull on one of the knobs. When the Cort website is up (can't get on at the moment) you should be able to get the full specs from there.

I had one - fabulous build quality, lovely neck. The one thing I didn't get on with was the active circuit - which was designed very much with slap in mind. I'm much more a plug in a P bass and leave it type player, and the 75 just has soooo many permutations! So probably ideal.

I'm glad someone did 😎

She won't regret that...

Will have to see if I can get that. Thanks.

There was an amazing station in France - Radio Nostalgie that played Abba followed by Johnny Halliday followed by Little Richard followed by Edith Piaf. Probably the last time I heard Move It on the radio, three years ago on holiday! Oldies show here - Absolute, Planet Rock etc play the most limited range. It's such a disappointment.

The former only by the cogniscenti - don't think it gets much of a look in on radio or non- rock & roll covers bands. The latter, well, yes, but doesn't say much does it 😁

Thanks, nice potted history. And yes, great Rock & Roll band - Move It is woefully under appreciated.

I thought the Ventures were big in the States and the Shadows a UK Ventures tribute act, or have I got that terribly wrong?

That's a very cool performance. Thanks for sharing.

Difficult isn't it. I disagree with your first point but agree with the second. Glad I don't make the rules 😎

Perhaps constructive rather than positive?

Surgical spirit, or flatwounds (or both).

Yes, I agree. Perfectly happy with how it works. My OP isn't a moan, I really was just curious, as I'm sure sales posts used to be far more interactive.

Ooh, now that is harsh!

Don't think (at least I hope) that isn't the case here 🤔

While I can see your point @BigRedX I was sort of expecting, on this particular sales post, the sort of comments @stewblack refers to. Good to see the two posts next to each other.

Insurance? I tried to list an amp, but insuring at full value made it prohibitive.

Yes, but that's always been the case. I'm thinking there was more general chat in the past - former owners, owners of similar kit, heft, weight and so on. Or am I being nostalgic? 😯

Just curious, I've put something up on the for sale forum. Had over 400 views and one private conversation, but absolutely no comments (on what I thought would have been an interesting piece of kit). I scanned through the forum, and see that quite a few posts have no, or minimal replies, so it's not just me 😏 Is it my memory playing tricks on me or did there used to be more conversations (people adding information or general comments) in these sections in the past, or is it something that has been actively discouraged with the new bumping regime?

I'd put them as good music. 😎
