Kentish Bass

Thanks for these suggestions. The one I have (Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro) does not have a kettle lead.

Hello! I have one of those bargain Harley Benton power supplies fit neatly under my Pedtrain Max. The only thing is that the power cable is pretty flimsy. What is a good, robust, replacement? thanks! Robert

Another voice in support of XTC. Colin Moulding had a real knack for writing baselines that suit the songs—and some challenging ones along the way! Probably my favourite post-1976 band.

Just installed a new loaded control plate from John in my Jazz bass. The improvement in sound was immediately noticeable, as well the subtle changes in volume now possible. The quality of the materials is top notch and the workmanship is excellent. John's communication is also impressive, working with you to get what you really need. Highly recommended!

Noisy pots. After one year of use. It was a cheap (£23) short-term purchase to stick in a Franken-bass I was assembling (and had sunk my money at the time into other parts).

Some of these companies/people are operating under the assumption that soldering is some kind of alchemical art. It's not, it's easy.

Greetings low-enders, I've been point to this: https://fatbasstone.com/products/pre-wired-passive-harness?variant=37581741883555 And I've also been interested in: https://obsidianwire.co.uk/products/jazz-bass-wiring-harness?variant=43340925337776 This looks OK too: https://www.axesrus.co.uk/TOP-SPEC-Bass-Control-Assembly-p/topspecbassassemb.htm Anyone out there experienced with these or others you'd recommend? Thanks, in advance, Robert

I've not shared a stage with too many rock greats (mostly a classical player), but I did once play with Topper Headon of The Clash. Good drummer! After that, all I can claim is borrowing a corkscrew from Jimmy Page at a National Youth Orchestra concert (I wasn't playing!).

You should not need to repair a bow that often. If your bow gets hair mites, then you are done for, but most bow hair can been cleaned of old rosin and oils from your hands with acetone. Be careful not to get it on the stick, though, it will take the varnish right off.

Tim (at dodgnofski) was a total pleasure to deal with. I bought a Markbass combo from him and it was packed carefully and he kept me up to date with the shipping details, including photos of all the label and tracking information. The amp was exactly as described and he answered all of my questions promptly. Quite possibly the best online transaction I've ever had. Really impressed. Thanks Tim!
