Ernie Ball MusicMan Sterling neck dimensions
Chris Hales replied to Chris Hales's topic in Bass Guitars
I have to say my Stingray has a very comfiortable neck and it is very enjoyable to play - but I always end up wishing it was just that touch narrower. I'll check out Bass Gallery and Bass Bross - thanks for the pointer. -

I hate changing my strings and have consequently had the same ones on both my basses for about two years. I dislike the zingy bright sound new strings give and am wondering if I should just go to flatwounds? Any advice?

Please help me setup my Barefaced Super Compact tone
Lozz196 replied to Big_Sam's topic in Amps and Cabs
Yes the Barefaced 12s range are very clear & flat sounding, the 10s being more vintage and having a thicker sound. The low mids on your amp are at 380, whereas to me for what your describing I’d be looking at adding anywhere from 100 to 250 so maybe add in a cheap graphic eq to see if you can achieve what you want, should give an idea of where to move forwards. -
Yeah not fun at all, just as you get your brain sorted as to really knowing yourself and your life bits start stopping working or falling off, bah 😠

Sorry, not read the whole thread but most of the gigs I do are deps. In short, you turn up with an ireal book and make music by having a collective insight into what you are there to achieve. It's done by a knowledge of tunes, obviously, but also of idioms, certain groove types, predictable figures, instinct, nods, winks, eye contact, chord charts, dots and little bit of luck and fairy magic. You won't be able to busk Bohemian Rhapsody but there are a million songs that you can put together at the drop of a hat. I remember one gig with a singer a drummer I had never met and a guitar player I worked with often. Before the first note, our chats revealed that I didn't know a single tune they were going to do. As we approached the stage, I was listening to the first tune on my phone, much to the singer and drummer's alarm. We knocked it out of the park and it was one of the best gigs they had ever done. It's a mix of knowledge, competence and intuition. I have done hundreds of gigs like this (it has got to the point where a single rehearsal is actually inhibiting). It doesn't always work (but it is usually 'good enough' but, when it works, it can inspiring.

Bass Direct requested I use my own Luthier and had EBMM send the replacement part directly to me. I will of course request reimbursement of costs….

I thought I’d be older and wiser, I feel slightly short-changed but then 1 out of 2 isn’t bad.

Hello again mate,I remember you from a different thread. I'm still convinced these are 34" you know 🙂 Are the bridge saddles on your one further forward a bit? Hey of course it's not a big deal either way,great basses those early slapcut models,enjoy it 😁

Please help me setup my Barefaced Super Compact tone
Pea Turgh replied to Big_Sam's topic in Amps and Cabs
You’d probably be better off with Barefaced 10s - they are vintage-voiced (man I’m miss my Two10!). The 12s are supposed to be more full range flat response (FRFR). - Today

Trying to keep dirty laundry private until it's resolved, or is there another reason why you're having to arrange your own repair for an under-warranty ~£3k bass?

Same here. Had a very pleasant e-mail exchange with him about a year ago so it seems away from the norm there's been nothing since I last mentioned.

Lab Series (Moog) L4 two channel preamp (Aion L4) This is Aion FX version of the Lab Series L4 preamp - it’s got two channels, one like a fender tone stack, and one more ampeg style with a swept mid. That then goes into a saturation engine, the master output and a really musical limiter. It can put out a lot of signal. The green channel is very very similar to the Pearce preamps - and lending it to Ant he got to compare it to his Pearce and Suncoast preamps. Neither of us were going for the Sheehan thing though. Negatives, it’s fiddly to balance the channels if you want clean and dirty (though possible if you bounce it into the limiter) and if you use it in a studio full range I “think” I might hear the led switching noise in the noise floor. Live you won’t hear that. Negatives out the way - Why should you care? The L5 guitar amp was considered one of the closest solid state electronics got to the sound of a valve amp - and it’s an amazing amp style saturation thing, I think it does odd and even harmonic clipping or something and it’s the closest I’ve heard in an analogue pedal to that detailed warm model/captured valve amp in the Helix/Kemper/Anagram/QC whatever. It just sounds good. The price is again cost of kit and knobs and postage to you - if you look at the build docs you’ll see how much soldering there was to put it all together. I’m selling it because the HX stomp replaced it for me. Irn Bru PedalPCB Chop Shop (similar to Fairfield Barbershop) A clone of the V1 Fairfield Barbershop with my own custom Irn Bru artwork. Knobs can be the same as the two above if you prefer. The price is again cost of kit and knobs and postage to you - trust me when I say this lets you avoid testing and sorting lots of SMD JFets to get them in the right spec. It kinda excels at a low gain drive, sounds like the Solid Gold Beta without the bass boost. I’m selling it because my own version of the SS/BS mini replaced it. PedalPCB Low Tide (similar to Fairfield Shallow Water) This is a genius pedal in a 125B enclosure. Lofi modulator, envelope, random vibrato/chorus. Sounds amazing before drive, or end of chain. Watch the video that Zach Rizer made. This is priced… well higher than just the kit as I don’t really massively want to sell it - but it’s not getting used. I would say - it sounds ok with bass (but is very subtle) but stick something like synth/keys into it and it’s magical and analogue and warm and lovely. Broken MXR Bass octave deluxe Right, I bought this off here for the price of postage, it’s got a fault in that the detector circuit is too sensitive and picks up rumble from the bass moving. I had a go and managed to make the noise significantly less noisy by soldering a couple of extra parts inside, but it’s still noisy. Stick it after a gate, or LPF maybe it would be fine, but for me it’s useless for live work. This is a partial feature of the pedal - Listen to Janik Gwizdala’s video where he compares lots of octavers and the BOD he’s got does the same! But it’s also rubbish. So if you want to try a BOD without investing lots, or you think your rig can work around the problem it’s here or you want to just muck around at home…. It might work out? I would say that without the sensitivity problem it’s a killer pedal - one side is a OC2 style octave (synth), and the other a EBS style octave (fat) I repeat again this is broken.

Eventide H9 Max This is an absolutely amazing pedal. Really in-depth multifx with loads of parameters, one of the best reverbs I’ve heard, pitch shift and harmonising things, octave, modulation, delay, synth stuff - all controlled via a really simple to use mobile app and bluetooth. (Or on the pedal if you’re a glutton for punishment) I’ve also been using it to pass on Midi expression and time… and fully midi controllable… It’s great and sounds great… why stick it up for sale I’m wondering myself? Well I went back to a HX stomp, and the kind of music I make means I’m not going to be using the full extent of this… and while if I end up keeping it it will go back on the board, I don’t need it. If I’m being critical, some of the effects are more useful on guitar than bass, but that may say more about my lack of adventure than then pedal! With box, power supply, velvet bag, paperwork, deregistered (remind me) and ready to go. Still has the protective plastic on the screen! Also comes with a really cool custom riser @rwillett made for me, so I could raise the front of the pedal up over the pedals infront, a hot switch pedal and if you talk me into it a patch box (1590a) (and cables if needed) that split the the TRS expression out into the TS for an expression pedal (M-Audio one works fine) and the hot switch Mosky Dyna comp A Dyno style comp with one knob, surprisingly well built inside and compresses well… probably better on guitar. Got on here broken, and then fixed it. Futuristic Retro Champion, Mutron clone (Aion Lumitron) with mods It’s a mutron, built on Aion FX’s Lumitron boards. It does what a mutron should. The Mods are a decay control, so you can get a really slow release, or with HP filter going down, a slow attack style effect, it’s linked to the gain so they are quite interactive. And then the “Moog mod” which basically means the filter is effected slightly differently as you go down the fretboard. It’s subtle. I built it and erm didn’t like it. Loaned it to @ped and @Quatschmacher who said it worked and it was actually just I didn’t like a Mutron style envelope filter! It’s a decent filter but not the best. Priced at cost of kit and knobs and postage.

I've found John East quite responsive to emails in the past. With regard to the DJ-Retro preamps, I've read that John East has difficulty obtaining the curved control plates from Lakland. That would explain the difficulty of buying one. It would be nice however if questions by email get answered...
