I can think of a couple of occasions where that has definitely been the case. On one, we played well, on a decently equipped stage, but the folk sitting around the tables were there for the 'turning to stone' little fellow for whom the event was planned. They had no interest in 'whooping it up' at all. A 'lead ballon' event; they needn't have booked a band at all.

D'Addario Chromes ECB81-5, 45-132 https://www.daddario.com/products/guitar/bass-guitar/xl-chromes-bass/ecb81-5-chromes-bass-5-string-light-45-132-long-scale/ String gauges: 45, 65, 80, 100, 132. D'Addario describe them as "Warm tone and tight, defined bottom". These are versatile, clear-sounding flats. Selling as I no longer own a five-string bass. These are for long scale (normal 34") basses, and have been cut for a Fender-style 4+1 headstock. £30 posted. -
I think a basic Sei starts at about £3500 these days, and upwards from there. It's still only a £400 deposit though - he's kept that price the same since the 90s! And you'll have 18-ish months to save up the rest. The two 6-strings I had been planning on ordering would have ended up costing about £5k a piece, so I've had to shelve that idea for the time being.

I bought this a year ago to learn to slap, it turns out I really don't get on with headed basses so here I am a year later and still can't slap 😞 This has hung on my wall all this time making me feel guilty about the 2 or 3 hours total that I've played it. It has the Maruszczyk nickels on and it still sings. Comes with the original branded soft case + allen keys (bag never opened) + a EBMM SUB catalogue AND some Rotosounds AND a set of mystery strings More (better) information about the bass and the included stuff in the Basschat ad from when I bought it: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/503320-pending-reduction-sterling-ray34-immaculate-now-£550 Collection/try out/nerd chat from slightly west of Worthing or buyer sorts courier to UK destination. -
This is it in a nutshell. In my band, three of us are comfortably retired - kids off our hands, mortgagees paid off, etc - and not short of money. The other two still work, have family responsibilities and are less able to be so generous with their time. It would be unfair to expect (or even ask, because it could be awkward for them to say no) them to do so.

Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound, 45-105 https://ernieball.co.uk/guitar-strings/bass-strings/slinky-cobalt-flatwound-electric-bass-strings/slinky-cobalt-flatwound-4-5-electric-bass-strings#P02813 String gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105. These are really great strings - my first choice for a modern, versatile flat. Bright with the tone open, but darkens down easily. These were installed on my spare bass, and so not used much. Selling as I no longer own that bass. These are for long scale (normal 34") basses, and have been cut for a Fender-style four inline headstock. £20 posted. -
Way ahead of you, I predictively boycotted them as I knew it would come to this I think both of my rics and bongo are old enough, and will do for now! I would assume that all budget guitars in the US have gone up, except maybe chinese builds where they can afford to reduce the price.

Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound, 55-110 https://ernieball.co.uk/guitar-strings/bass-strings/slinky-cobalt-flatwound-electric-bass-strings/slinky-cobalt-flatwound-4-5-electric-bass-strings#P02811 String gauges: 55, 75, 90, 110. I found them to be a brighter version of the La Bella 'Original 1954'/James Jamerson strings; and then more recently I downtuned the whole bass one step, to DGFC, and it worked very well for that. These are for long scale (normal 34") basses, and have been cut for a Fender-style four inline headstock. £20 posted. -
As new condition. This was for a planned project that never happened. I unpacked it, had a quick trial and then put it back in the box. £70 collected. If you want it posted, cost will be around a fiver.-

Great, yeah no worries! Good to meet you Stuart, you can post here https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/75-affiliates/ Have a look at the T&Cs at the top and let me know if you have any questions.

Didn't realise they were that cheap. The 'adapter' would be metal rod or a piece of wood and the tripods have already been adapted. They came with the slo-mo heads on and I took those off made plywood plates to fit various EQ heads. They are rather battered from before I brought them, but were probably very expensive as they were made for Hollywood type film cameras . I know the model or or two up from mine was $12,000. That's mine below.

@ped Stuart is a regular on thefretboard and although I've never used his services the punters over there seem happy.

Dedicated speaker poles are so cheap it's not worth making an adaptor and riskinc a nice astro tripod. About £20 on Amazon. Gorilla only £24.

Used but still with plenty of life left in them. The E string has been cut a bit shorter than I would normally expect but it still wraps around the tuner without any slipping. Cut for Fender Precision. -
A pleasure doing business with Ash on the sale of one of his Sandbergs. All his communications with me were prompt and clear, and the bass is exactly as described, if not better, and set up to a very high standard. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm a return customer at some point! Cheers Ash 🤙

Hello. I have a TE 1048 309w cab and was wondering if I could pair a Warwick gnome v2 300w header with it without too many issues? I play 70’s rock in small to medium venues and we are a 3 piece band (bass, guitar, drums). Any advice on this or an alternative would be great. Thankyou

I use the 1 x12 genz Benz ..x 2 ..super light ,I did have the dark glass 2 x 12 and they are a fantastic cab ..cant think why I sold it ..😤

Gary bought my Gator dual bass case. Really easy transaction with clear and very quick communication, and a very pleasant chat during the handover.

I recently purchased this from a small solo builder. Fantastic build quality and to my ears it's identical to the Darkglass I had. I had no need for a DI like the original, this doesn't have one. So it's just a killer dirt box. It was a kind of impulse purchase for me, as awesome as it is I've really no use for it sadly (I can get similar with what I already have) . I put it on my board but it's had very little use so it's as new. £93 posted. Always happy to hear trades w.h.y(possibly another vintage micro tubes)👍 I forgot to take a pic, but I've put fresh pedal tape on the bottom (I can remove if needed) -
Raising a speaker creates position-dependent dips in the frequency response where the reflected wave at a given frequency combines out of phase with the direct wave at your ears. Walls and ceilings also do this. Hence in-room response measurements can be pretty crazy. But it has the advantage that it puts the mids/highs a lot closer to your ear! Sometimes that matters a lot more in practice. It depends if you want more note clarity (raise it up) or girthy bass (shove it on the floor next to the wall if not in a corner)

Good afternoon everyone. Would it be ok to mention a guitar delivery service on here? I cannot see any way of contacting admin to ask for approval. Basically we offer shipping and full insurance cover against loss or damage, including guitar amps and would be very happy to give the members a discount. Kind regards Stuart

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.-

First 5 string - Sire Marcus Miller V7 Reissue a good entry point?
Gizmo replied to ColdFusion's topic in Bass Guitars
so....i've arranged to return the Z7 to thomann, as i've said above once setup it was a great playing/feeling/sounding bass but it's just boat anchor heavy & the neck drive/unconfutable to play sitting was the straw... id be interested in checking out one of the MS headless sires, anyone get/tired one ? -

Thank you. Pretty much what I had surmised given that I've heard people comparing them to Alembic F1X from the sonic standpoint, and F1X sounds nothing like a typical TE from their heyday. Keep opinions and experiences coming, pretty please...🙃

Two sets of used TI flats. In nice condition and still with plenty of gigs left in them! Cut for Fender long scale. Price includes UK postage. £28 for each set.
