  1. Past hour
  2. Just watching Bryan Adams at Radio 2 in The Park on BBC2, with Bryan taking on bass duties. Band sound great, decent enough mix via regular TV speakers.
  3. Greetings from a fellow Sheffield dweller!
  4. Just a thought, but I still use MkIV GP11 preamps - the preamp gain usually has to be on 7 or 8 out of 10 clicks with any passive bass. There is a lot of headroom, I guess to suit higher output active basses of the time. No shortage of output on the master volume, but the preamp gain generally needs to be high.
  5. I'd have to concur with all of those sentiments (unfortunately including the last....) Why did they ever stop doing the chequer binding....?
  6. The Orchids Aren’t Alright - The Offspring
  7. Flats are good on any bass. Different sound and feel to rounds, but plenty of good things to be had with flats.
  8. Hello, Very cool little Boss modeller for sale. Sounds great but I'm just not a modelling guy, I'm admitting defeat---I just don't enjoy the process, as good as the results can be. Boxed, also comes with additional Bright Onion switch. £350 delivered please. Would consider trades for bass gear - amps, basses (J flavoured), whatever... In good condition, a few scratches on the bottom as pictured. Album with lots of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/9pniK6g

  9. Gonna be a bit of open heart surgery for pics n spec of pots... It's Phillips O'clock.
  10. Beautiful, and a bargain Main body wood looks like alder. If it'd been for a 4 string I'd have snapped it up
  11. If all works well, depping isn’t for one-off gigs; if you do a good job people tend to ask you back next time which makes it more worthwhile putting in the initial effort. In my main depping job, I cover for a bassist whose side project clashes with some gigs, so it’s steady depping rather than one-off depping. Much better.
  12. Check against the wiring diagram?
  13. @NancyJohnson, I've got the real deal, with the boomerang inlays and all - I picked it up years ago in Australia, it still has the 'Rudy's Music NY' sticker on it with the original price of it. It's heavy, it's a pain to setup, but it's priceless, it sounds amazing and I can only imagine you could probably count how many are left in the world on 2 hands now...
  14. Got to be the longest shot on Basschat! Always worth a go though!
  15. Today
  16. A fantastic compressor with plenty of tonal variety using 3 styles of compression with their own respective ratios. The SSL Bus compressor, FET 1176 and Darkglass's own Super Symmetry. There is also a lot of great tweaking that can be done via computer with the timings of attack, release and even a HPF. In fantastic condition, including box, manuals, rubber feet etc. Specifications: Hybrid Analog/Digital Compression Pure Analog signal path Blend control 3 built in yet distinct modes of advanced modelled compression Connect to your PC/Mac via Micro-USB (B) Free ‘Darkglass Suite’ software (provides additional fine control and compression models) 10-LED gain reduction meter Touch-Through metal sensors Internal doubling of supply voltage to 18V (allows for extra headroom) I/O: 6.5mm / ¼” Jack Input impedance: 1M Ohm Output impedance: 1k Ohm (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~250mA current draw)
  17. I do really like what this does but unemployment isn’t compatible with having 5 preamp pedals so something’s got to go. This does a nice console breakup and the Pultech EQ thing via two toggle switches. Really high quality headphone amp too. Has a high pass filter too, which isn’t seen so often. In outstanding condition with original box. (More pictures to follow.)

  18. According to Fender, rolls off highs without increasing bass/muddiness
  19. Since the tweeters are from around 4khz (from memory) surely there should be more sound and volume. I'll record it tomorrow to show the volume difference
  20. Beautiful. I wonder where the “Duck Dunn” bass is now?
  21. Oh yes, I also had that — I originally recerived a euro cable with my powered HB spaceship pedalboard a few years ago. They sorted it out for me as well.
  22. You could file down some round bar and use it as a peg to reattach the old knobs - if you have them.
  23. I certainly admire you guys who do depping roles, I have been playing bass regularly in cover bands for over thirty years and the thought of depping fills me with dread. The thought of possibly learning thirty songs I have (as worse case scenario) never played before, for a one off gig would entail a lot of my time ( I don’t read music ), it’s tough enough learning a couple of new songs a month in the band I’m currently gigging with. Respect to you guys who do it.
  24. Just sold another set, but added another one as swapped to Gotoh GB350s on another. So 1 set left! Lol.
