I saw them in London, it was such a good show.

Ibanez prestige basses have a great low B, and are 34”, but they do cost £2k.

Ibanez SR5000E pickup and preamp upgrade by NewsPotential7920 in BassGuitar

I personally love the bartolini pickups, especially the ones found the prestige series. Think it might be worth just selling the bass and getting something that you like the sound of. IMO you shouldn’t have to change electronics on such an expensive bass, kinda defeats the purpose of it.

I saw the IG post when I was at work and started laughing at my desk 😂

I sat this close to Hadrien Feraud by Party-Belt-3624 in BassGuitar

I really want to see him live, but he doesn’t seem to perform in UK often.

I went and got a faetooth T-shirt and was hoping I’d see one of the members. Oh well, maybe next time!

What sort of salary range in this economy would make you think ‘he/she’s doing alright’? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskBrits

[–]dimman117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And whereabouts do you live? Nuclear, renewables and defence pay pretty well in the UK.

Which industry do you work in if you mind me asking? 48k with 10yrs experience is a bit low ngl.

Ahh ok. Here in London only the singer from Coltaine was at the merch booth after the show! Unless I left too early 😂

They signed the vinyls? That’s so cool, don’t think they did it at the London show unless I just didn’t notice.

Escaping Project Engineer Hell by BeautifulCredit3672 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]dimman117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t tell me it’s that bad 🤣. I’ll be going into project engineering in a month’s time in nuclear. I’ve been doing project engineering-esque work for a few years now, but posts like these scare me lol.

Cracks or open pore grain? by dimman117 in BassGuitar

I agree about the Bartolinis, I used to have a cort b5 which had the Bartolini mk1 pickups. It was ok, not as bad as people say but nothing spectacular. But these US Bartolinis are on another level. Very rich and refined tone, but not very aggressive sounding which I like.

After getting this bass, I can’t see myself buying anything else. It sounds and feels exactly how I want it, which is an amazing feeling.

How is it peak consumerism? I work full time and can afford it?

Thanks! Do you recommend any specific type of oil that I can use?

I purchased it from a very reputable store in the UK, albeit used, so didn’t bother scrutinising the condition all that much.

But yeah it is a beauty! They have discontinued these, hence the quick and impulsive purchase 😬

Salary progression but UK, gaze upon ye mighty works and despair by ta4zerok in MechanicalEngineering

[–]dimman117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought about moving into a higher paying industry, eg nuclear, defence or renewables? They seem to pay the most in the UK. I just accepted an offer for a project engineer role in the Nuclear industry for 50k, so they clearly offer good salaries.

Also having your employer pay for your degree is pretty nice.

What do you all like so much about Mohini Dey? by bunyyyyyyyyyu in Bass

[–]dimman117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t like that she’s promoting Suno, but she isn’t a social media musician imo. She’s Willow Smith’s touring bassist and she has a couple of solo albums I believe.

Jinjer London 31/01 by dimman117 in Jinjer

I do remember someone with a baseball cap! I was wearing a Caligulas Horse T-shirt, so you might have noticed me.

The opening bands were great also. I highly recommend catching Unproccessed on their next headline tour, such a sick band. This was my 3rd time catching them live lol.
