ok, they have arrived, and after a few days now of comparing them. there was no doubt something wrong with the other pair as these new ones definitely better no phasing going on. soooo.... after a good listen.. and from back up responses from my older mixes. the last few mixes i have done with the superlux HD660 some have said the mix is a little dull and needing more sparkle at the top. this i can now put down to the superlux are alot brighter at the top end so when i do my mixing or more to the point adding EQ at the end, i am pulling down the hi end thinking there is quite a lot going on up there, when in fact it was the HD660s ( being over bright) Very noticeable when i now use the Beyer DT770 pro. so i went back to one of my mixes, and reEQ the mix as a quick test, and hay presto my mix is now brighter, and more accurate to the top end when trying against the monitors they now seem right. the bass end also is is better i can clearly hear the more subby lows in as much as the Beyers will go to that i just could not hear with superlux. But for now... thats all i have for you as usable information, can only see how it all goes as some of you say they need to "Burn in" ? But as AL Nico says above "they really let you know if something is a bit harsh in the highs." i can only agree with him there, thats bang on as prooved in the twice mixing of the same song. A real learning curve here, we are always learning. but i still maintain when you get use to one set of headphones and then change them you have to almost reEQ you head. Anyway i am really happy now with the DT770s so i will just stick with them for now and see how i get on Cheers guys

MK Studio P EUB, with stand a original soft case, in very good condition. I bought this from a fellow Basschatter last year as a tour backup for my Yamaha SLB 300, but it was never required, so has had very little use apart from a few hours practicing. Great design. Really well made and compact, and very quick to set up. Sounds great straight into an amp, and even better with a decent preamp. I wouldn't want to risk shipping this bass so collection in person only. I can rendezvous within 15 or so miles of Southend if necessary. Might consider trade for a Fender Professional 2 P.Bass with maple fingerboard, in very good condition. PM for more details. -

Some things it would be nice to do in 2026: 1. Improve my DB soloing. 2. Improve DB speed and endurance for when horn players call rhythm changes at high tempos etc. 3. Do more jazz gigs on DB, ideally with multiple horns. 4. Get together a jazz group with me on guitar.

Must make an effort to finish this winter project. (rubbish photo)

No worries man, anything else just let me know buddy -
Yeah they’re lovely bodies, let me know if you want me to send it down 😉 -
This is my bitsa Jazz; it has an unknown body which was previously a manky brown sunburst, a CV neck and tuners, Limelight pickups and a big green Russian tone capacitor. I painted the body in CAR using rattle cans and it turned out pretty well. Although it's a bit heavy it plays well and sounds awesome, so overall I'm well happy. I could have just bought a CV, I suppose, but I had way much more fun doing this.

I don't think I've seen any political extremism in posts on here. However I don't spend a lot of time in Off Topic. There have been opinions that don't always align with mine, but nothing that I would class as extremism.

...isn't that the point 😈 ?

Good lord. Is this still here? It’s feckin gorgeous -

Couple of rescue fretlii for your perusal folks Both rather nice in their own way, the Jazz is VERY jazz in an upright kinda way, the other thing is rather Wal-esque, surprisingly so in fact. Nordy PUPs are OUTSTANDING

For sale, my Radial Tonebone Bassbone OD preamp pedal. A two-channel bass preamp with HPF, piezo input for double bass, DI out and switchable overdrive. A great pedal, I used it for years to double on electric and DB. Made it really easy with the dual EQ, switchable HPF, boosted input for the DB and tuner out. I've gone to more separated signal paths now (still via a Radial I/O!) so this is just sitting around not doing anything. Comes with original box, papers, and PSU. NOTE THAT THIS USES A 15v CENTRE POSITIVE PSU so you need the proper power supply or one that can feed it the correct polarity supply. A 'normal' Boss-style PSU won't work and will fry the pedal (as I found out with another one of these - this is the replacement one I bought). Recently PAT-tested too. Has Dual-lock on the bottom. These are now RRP £439! £260 posted.-

Shame, they are great DI pedals but sadly the HPF is important to tame excess bass, variable as you say, why did you keep it ? I would have sent it back for a replacement Finally V3....hope it worked out for you in the end.....

FS: Radial Tonebone Bassbone OD preamp

No problem. I'm happy to post if you still want it. -

FS or FT a Yamaha BB735A 5-string bass in 'Fired Red'. I picked this up here a while back for a particular gig/project, but that's now taken a bit of a back seat and I find myself more in need of a 'traditional' Jazz bass, so this is up for sale or trade. It's in good condition - it was sold to me as being practically brand new, but when it arrived there were some swirl marks in the finish from use and the usual playing wear on the pickguard, but other than that I think it's still in pretty good nick. Still has the plastic on the electronics cover. As is hopefully evident from the pics, it's a lovely deep red trans finish, still showing some of the wood grain on the body. It's not fancy quilted grain or whatever, but still looks nice IMHO! It's currently fitted with flats but I was intending to put the original D'Addario rounds on unless the buyer is particularly desperate for the flats. Dunno what brand they are - I have a vague recollection they could be LaBellas, or possibly Dunlops from the silks. The D'Addarios would their usual Nickels I think. Bass plays nicely as both passive and active; I tended to use passive unless I really needed something a bit more aggressive. It has covered a full function band set with breaking a sweat - from motown to slap/disco and everything in between, so it's very versatile and IMO runs the right side of the 'trad/modern' bass debate so fits in well with lots of gigs. Happy to consider trades; I'd be after a 5-string fretted Jazz or similar; happy to consider cash adjustments either way (within reason - I'm not really looking for a £2k+ boutique bass). I might also consider PX (with adjustment!) with a Barefaced Three10, Two12, LFSys lightweight cab etc. Not really after much else though ATM. I'd prefer collection in person to make sure you're happy with the bass. I'm in Bath. -

Looks like this will be the pro version of the MC3:

And, I'm sure I've posted this a few times over the years, going back about 15 years ago a band I was in used to get paid >£1000 or more for doing British Heart Foundation, CF Trust and other big charity fund raises. The mentality is that if you have quality entertainment the punters will part with more cash.

I'm currently selling my long scale basses as I move over to medium and short scale. As such, this beautiful and rare Odyssey B300 is now available. These were built in the 1970s by Attila Balogh in Vancouver, Canada. His guitars and basses are known for their superb quality, easily rivalling Fenders and Gibsons of that period in terms of workmanship. It's well worth looking into facts and details about Attila Balogh and Odyssey, as it's a truly fascinating story. I had this bass shipped over from Canada a few years ago. I have barely played it due to increasing discomfort with long scales. It has been well played, and shows the usual wear and tear, but has no major damage, scratches or defects. The body is a flat top mahogany, with an ebony fingerboard, brass nut, bridge and fittings. The Bartolini pickups give this bass a rich resonant tone. It comes with the original hard case. I do travel, so may be able to deliver -
In these situations the guys in the bands are the biggest contributors. It's not something I get involved in. You're effectively donating. I used to ask if the bar staff were working free and if the beer profits went to the charity but now I just say, "Sorry, we're booked for a private function." There're plenty of bands that'll play it. And, a good standard response I keep in case I hear "that phrase", is "Yes, I know but we get all the exposure we need at paid gigs".

I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s taken by all. This would be a very boring and entirely pointless thread if everyone just encouraged each other to give in.
