  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah but with IEM’s in and on stage with spill, ambient etc, you still have more than just bass in your ears, so its still not really going to be noticeable IMO.
  3. Up for sale is this passive Sterling by Music Man Pete Wentz signature StingRay bass in a very eye catching Fiesta Red finish. I had a change of heart and withdrew my 40th anniversary Squier Jazz ad recently, so have put this up for sale as although I love it, it's the bass getting used least with my band and I've recently bought another bass. This is a very cool, passive StingRay in fantastic condition (small scratch on the back of the headstock pictured in the only sign of wear), with one of my favourite necks I've ever had on any bass. Roasted maple, stays straight throughout all seasons and feels great in the hand for those who like a chunkier bass neck. This also comes fitted with Dunlop Straploks and crucially; high quality Schaller BM tuners to replace the stock tuners which were to be blunt, utter garbage. As a passive bass with a single humbucker with just volume and tone controls it's less versatile than a regular StingRay, but it sounds great and it's a snarling rock beast that you can also get a lot of mellower tones out of. You will get most tonal variety from how and where in relation to the pickup you play it, rather than the tone control to bring out the dynamics of the fat sounding pickup. Also comes with a good quality Ritter gig bag; has a broken handle (as pictured) but all other straps and handles are in good working order. I would much prefer collection in person or half-way meet if you're reasonably close to Brighton in the South East. However, I do have a sturdy cardboard box to send this in so could look into sending at an additional cost to the buyer, and at their own risk (as it's not in a hard case so can't be insured by courier services). Please see my feedback for assurance of past honest dealings on the forum: Any questions, send me a message. Thanks.
  4. An excellent 6/12-stage phaser, being a clone of the revered Moogerfooger 103. I’ve just received a brand new exemplar from Andertons today as a replacement for one I bought a few months ago that had a loose connection. I’m on a drive to raise money due to unemployment so don’t even want to put this on my board. As yet I haven’t even opened it. I’m happy to leave it unopened or to open to test and photograph for the buyer (once payment is received) if desired. Price includes recorded UK postage. Stock photo for illustrative purposes.

  5. Aargh I sold mine and still regret it. Sorry to hear about your situation. Amazing preamp.
  6. Very true! But push that argument a little further and you end up concluding: "why bother with pedals at all?" I guess tonally what some folk are content with, won't cut it for others? Personally I'm super happy with the digital drive that my Boss GT1000 Core and GX10 provide, and actually prefer it to half a dozen standalone drive pedals sitting on my shelf waiting to be sold... But I think the point is what we hear on stage from our amps, or via our IEMs, plays a key part in how much we enjoy performing. No one is going to pay more attention to the bass tone than the bassist, ie us, right?
  7. One is a simulation of the preamp itself, without the PU. The other one with the PU (I'm not quite sure if there isn't a better way to simulate the PU). Bass on 5 of 10, Treble on 3. It's clearly not the best simulation, and someone like @Passinwind would be able to do it better. To me, it's a cut-and-boost preamp. Does it make any difference? I think not
  8. It’ll take full scale, the biggest issue is the gigbag you use. I did travel for a while with a Fender Mustang in a Gruv Gear Edge and it was great. A short scale certainly won’t be sliding about in it, it’s a tight fit with basically anything I’ve put in it.
  9. No idea where they’d gone. They are there now
  10. I have this on a Jap 75RI and it's a good bridge - the grooves, unobtrusive size and string-through option make it versatile, ergonomic and solid. I did feel it tightened up the sound a little, sort of halfway to the real effect a high mass bridge has without the high mass. One thing that might be helpful: this deluxe bridge weighs 106g including screws. By comparison, the Fender hi-mass bridge I have on another bass, while also a good design, weighs close to 250g (238 without screws). Of course heavy is good in some scenarios (neck dive) and not in others (boat anchor), but maybe worth knowing!
  11. and as the saying goes - once the drums start rolling, it just doesn't matter.
  12. What about the Origin Effects line up. There’s a few.
  13. Something new learned today. 👍 I had no idea technology had moved that far on from the Roland TR606. 😉 Dave
  14. My pal's Sunbeam 🙂
  15. When I was a teenager myself and some friends used to busk regularly in Crawley and Redhill. We had our usual pitches that we would use all year, but then come christmas a whole bunch of others would turn up busking for "charity". When we figured this out we would get to the best spots as early as we could, but then would have arguments with the charity lot wanting us to move on so they could have a turn...
  16. Today
  17. Put the coloursound bass fuzz back on
  18. I've actually had my eye on that device for quite some time.
  19. I've got a Caveman BP1 Compact, which sounds great to me. It has it's own baked in sound (basically enhanced low-mids) that I like, so you would have to be happy with that. I think that it sounds great, it's got a top quality DI and sound engineers seem to like it. https://www.caveman-audio.com/products/bp1c/

    SEI bass

    I think their Jazz/FSO-type basses come in a bit cheaper, £3k or so, but an Original or Flamboyant will be £3.5k upwards.
  21. What a tremendous colour! GLWTS Quent
  22. Epic 🥳 so the tall font muff didn't make the final board?
