  1. Past hour
  2. I have one and it's huge fun. I do wish the filter control knob at the top was shorter though - feels very exposed there and could be damaged by a stray foot. I wonder why they just didn't use a regular pot like the other controls. Bit of a weird choice that.
  3. Kin hell, beauty
  4. I can’t believe nobody hasn’t snapped this up at this price! It’s absurd. I’ve got one for sale myself and I’d never let it go at this price. If I had the spare cash I’d buy this! Either, folk haven’t used one of these or, everyone is being more than coy with their money. You will never really need another amp or effects, this covers it all. Absolutely baffling.
  5. Various Source Audio midi adapters etc: 1. Midi Neuro Hub. Control Source Audio pedals via the control inputs and a midi controller. In box with extra TRRS cables but no mini usb cable. £50 posted to you in the UK 2. Two SA midi adapters, Converts MIDI to the control input on the back of a SA pedal. With appropriate cables. £25 each posted to you in the UK 3. Source Audio tap tempo switch. With 1/4" output to work with just about anything and a TRRS 1/8" to work with control inputs on SA pedals. £25 posted to you in the UK
  6. I've come to the realisation that I have too many basses, and as I already have a JT4 I can't justify having essentially two of the same model, give or take a string. This is a Dingwall John Taylor 5 string. I've had this bass for nearly a year. It's in superb condition apart from a very minor mark on the back near the battery cover (see picture 9). I hand picked it in Andertons (from a choice of three) as at 4kg it was the lightest of the bunch by some way. It plays beautifully, and the Neve preamp is a great addition. I have made the following changes, but all original parts are included: Dunlop straplocks fitted Hipshot short stem Ultralite tuners fitted Six position rotary switch (see diagram for pickup combinations at the end of the post) Custom white scratchplate The bass comes with a very nice Dingwall gig bag and tool kit. I will also include a set of Dingwall nickel strings (which it also has a set of fitted), and a custom (i.e. expensive!) Heistercamp strap I had made to go with the bass. I have no box to ship it, but if you are interested I am sure we can work something out. Price-wise, when in stock these sell for between £2600 and £3000 new, so with the extra parts and the strap included I am asking £2200.
  7. Big bass or small person? 😅 If it is as big as the pictures show, I'm sure that will sound massive!

    Valeton GP-5

    Basically, I just watched the video below. It's pretty straightforward to follow (it's good to have an understanding of MIDI implementation first but not essential) and it doesn't take too long. Make sure you check out the MIDI implementation in the back of the Valeton manual so you can assign the correct CC / PC number to the chocolate depending on what you want the pedal to do. I have my 2 most commonly used patched on the first 2 buttons and then patch up and down on buttons 3 and 4. I also set up some additional patches on a 2nd bank which is easy to do.
  9. Thanks for the link ! I'd never actually heard him play in that quartet. He always remarked how good the musicians he was playing with were though.
  10. Interesting reading the provenance stating the bass was given as a gift to the present owner after he put up the band for a night and bought bus tickets for them to get home after JB abandoned them during the tour. Sounds like standard JB behaviour
  11. Yep, fingers crossed all ok @Woodinblack
  12. Bon Bon Chocolat - Everglow
  13. I had a quick go on a Viscount Legend 88 key version and heard a friend gig with it. It looks great and sounds great, I think the modular aspect would be addicitve. ....but that geatness does come at a quite considerable £, and size/weight cost. I think it weighs about 20kg and is quite a big beast to transport (e.g. was a three person job to take the legs off - one each end to hold it up and one to unscrew them) and would dominate the average small pub size stage area I play on. Still, I guess it is a lot more transportable than an original 70s EP. It confirmed to me that whatever stage piano I get I'll need to limit to 73 keys.
  14. I agree with Ed, sorry Al. Using 5GHz is your best bet. The CQ is the best compact mixer on WiFi however many people do use travel routers with them, not because the WiFi is not good but often so they can run wired and wireless networking at the same time. One limitation is that you can only use wired or wireless on the CQ, not both at the same time. I have used both Soundcraft Ui and The Behringer X series and both have virtually unusable WiFi and had to have an external router.
  15. So I have umming and arring for a while between one of these and a Sadowsky MetroExpress Modern 5 for some time now, watching prices and seeing if any offers popped up. The GB5 Modern was listed at around £1200... pricey but I was tempted. GuitarGuitar then had them for £999 - oooh, that seems a good deal but a Sadowsky is only a little bit more... Hang fast Carl... you never know what will pop up on the Black Friday deals... So, I keep looking, thinking something might pop up. I think I prefer the Sadowsky but the spec and hardware is better on the Cort. Then on Thomann, Cort GB5 Modern at £666 - pull that trigger Carl! Arrived Friday but have only just had the chance to unpack and play as I was away over the weekend. What a great bass and for the money - hipshot ultralites, Nordstrand big singles, Babicz bridge and Mark Bass preamp, it's amazing spec for that money. Add in a lovely loooking thing and a good quality gig bag to boot and it was an amazing deal - A very happy punter! I had read about some QC issues with these but this one is all good, no blemishes or marks and compared to some other basses I have had, it's light as a feather. I can see this as a mainstay for future gigs! Anyway... enough gloating... here's some pics...

  16. Nearly there folks! Looking for something completely different I found the above advice from @Geek99 to a 15 year old posting in the Introductions thread in 2020. As he never posted after mid 2021 I assume the young man took the advice. Or post-covid discovered beer and girls and gave up the bass?
  17. Best wishes to you both, Woody, during what is undoubtedly a scary and worrying time
  18. I've a very well engineered and very solid brass bridge from the 80's that would totally look the part on that bass, I'll see if I can dig it out and post photos later today
  19. Absolutely not, noone listens to the bass anyway, you just need to put on a show!
  20. Today
  21. Hi there - if this is still around, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! Cheers, Ian
  22. Probably our last practice at Studio 91 near Newbury as sadly it's to shut down in January. Played through this supplied Orange head for the first time and it just sounded beautiful using Squier Pj-555. After we were done I tried to lift it.....😩
