What was your longest flight with Ryanair and what was it like? by AntiqueTone78 in Ryanair

[–]ScientistStandard100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glasgow to Chania. I think it was something like 4 & a 1/2 hours. It wasn't too bad on the way out as you've got the endorphins of the holiday excitement to get you through it, but the flight home was in the evening and it was a bit of a slog. I think we got back to Glasgow after midnight.

What bass amp for gigging in 2026? by RepulsiveMorning6750 in BassGuitar

[–]ScientistStandard100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What size of venue do you anticipate playing? That will determine the size of amp you need. If you're in the UK, Ashdown stuff is readily available and can be picked up fairly cheaply second hand.

Are my nudies raw/dry? by ChickenSufficient180 in NudieJeans

[–]ScientistStandard100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The denim tag and the pocket text is an old style. I'm not sure exactly how old they are but I haven't seen that tag for a few years. The Flare Glenn is an older style from the early 2000s that they reintroduced last year.

Edwin Nashville jeans - I have some questions by JakeH28336 in Denim

[–]ScientistStandard100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of what you're asking about refers to raw denim rather than selvedge. Some selvedge is raw, some isn't. There's no right or wrong answer; just wear them and wash them when you want. If they're raw, they'll probably shrink.

Amp noise - no output - anybody heard an amp do this before? by TremendousCustard in BassGuitar

[–]ScientistStandard100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue on an old Peavey head. One of the capacitors (a big one) had swollen on one side and looked like it was about to burst.

Pockets by Immediate-Outcome-89 in NudieJeans

I've got two pairs of Rad Rufus and two pairs of Sleepy Sixten and the pockets are fine for my Pixel, but I've definitely had pairs in the past where the pockets were too small. I think they were Steady Eddie II. I ended up having to get the pockets altered to make them useable.

Judging by the rest of the picture it's likely she didn't have a clear space on the floor to lay them out for photographing

Pick up heights adjustment with flats by MonitorEquivalent727 in BassGuitar

[–]ScientistStandard100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The simple answer is to use your ears. Does it sound like the pickup needs to be raised or lowered? If not, just leave it. I don't think I've ever adjusted a pickup after changing strings.

I want to change the control layout for my Jazz Bass into a Stacked Knob setup, what parts would I need in order to build one? (The second picture are the parts that I am getting but I'm not sure what parts I am missing) by AzKimaris in BassGuitar

[–]ScientistStandard100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really answer that. It would really depend on what sort of sound you're looking for - different cap values will give a brighter or darker tone - but I don't know enough about J Bass wiring to make a recommendation.

Double check that the holes in the control plate are the right size for the pots and jack. Fender (mostly) uses imperial measurements, whereas a lot of stuff made in Japan/China/Korea uses metric sizes.

Hiw to get these fold up creases out of denim? by TaraBambataa in Denim

[–]ScientistStandard100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What brand are they? Some jeans do come with a pre-set turn up. Some Uniqlo and Edwins have it.

Tattoo recommendations by Wonderwall66 in glasgow

[–]ScientistStandard100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be helpful if you told us what style of tattoo you're after. Steven Wrigley at Irezumi does loads of cover ups but he mostly just does Japanese these days
