    Can you really call Nikki Sixx a bass player? I mean, he holds one... but...

    For a wedding gig, Im wondering this too.
  3. EBS_freak
    So theatres, then.

    Nah, it's a flex. You've come onto a bass forum, had your post ripped to shreds and attempt to elevate yourself by talking of the venue sizes that you are reputedly playing at. Flex. If it wasn't a flex, you wouldn't need to state such things. You do know that anybody can google your name, and derive the required to raise an eyebrow? Anyway...

    It's kinda compulsive viewing... but all whilst being slightly awks.
  6. EBS_freak
    This is true. Next time there's a BF thread, check in.
  7. EBS_freak
    You aren't looking hard enough.

    Is that a flex? That's a flex, right? Yeah, attempted flex.

    Umm, I don't want to be the A hole here... but this is somebody's wedding day. If you don't know what you are doing, it's only fair that you have a dry run and get all this stuff sorted before you even attempt to play a wedding. It's not fair on yourself - as setting up and sound checking is a big enough stress as it is - and it's certainly not fair on the bridal party who I presume are picking up your bill. If you are using fx, chances are, there will be variances in gain that will impact your levels. All this needs to be sorted out before the gig. There's no wedding gig that requires fx on bass... so if there's a chance you'll muck it up, don't run fx until you have had the opportunity to rehearse and do the necessary prep using the fx. Setting levels at home doesn't work - you need to do your setting at gig volumes.

    Interesting. Tell the truth now... you de-fretted it didn't you? Cheap bass that you wanted to make a fretless out of? What you should have done, is reshoot the neck, refret, stone the frets, crown and polish - and show how you can take ANY neck and make it boss (as long as the truss rod is sound, theres enough meat on the fretboard and the neck itself isn't twisted). Oh and a new nut for good measure. Presumably you have still got the neck - so it would make for good Youtube fodder. If you learn how to do a decent fret dress, you can make your 100 quid plank play like a million dollars. Still, if it makes you happy, job done.

    Anyway, any pictures of this neck?

    Ped without a Vigier just seems wrong. Coronavirus is proper messing up the planet.

    For me, this is the benchmark on Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright... and Josh Cunningham's guitar solo is a right ripper. I remember when this album, this came out, I reached for the guitar to transcribe his solo. If you have never heard of the Waifs, go check them out. No nonsense pure musicianship.

    Someone from Essex that doesn’t appreciate White and Gold? frankly I’m shocked!
  16. EBS_freak
    How about now?
  17. EBS_freak
    Tempted? Or still no?
  18. EBS_freak
    Yeah, it's all doable - it's all dependant how much you are prepared to pay for it. For example, black hipshot is just power coated. If you are looking at a specific colour, I'm sure that Hipshot will take you some unfinished hardware for you to then send off to your local power coaters so you can have whatever colour applied to it, whether it be matte, or gloss etc. Hipshot are super, super accommodating in all my dealings with them.
  19. EBS_freak
    It has. It's all powder coating - but white hardware looks pretty naff in most cases. Jack White telecaster

    1:18 - I remember breaking a string once... and I attempted to play on. I swear I copped Fieldy's tone A1

    I can almost see the drummer who has spend their gigging life behind one giggling.
  22. EBS_freak
    That's my point. A lot of them aren't even mediocre.
  23. EBS_freak
    I call BS. All of the strad violins were built from wood harvested from my ickle English garden in bloom.
  24. EBS_freak
    Not without an amp!

    I read that last post with intrigue. Is an instrument that creates sound by passing a piece of metal through a magnetic field ever going to be technologically advanced?
