Wonder if they'll get an angry letter from John Hall's legal team for the shape of the bass?
-
I think it’s genre specific. Sitting down classical or jazz gig… no problem. Everything else… nope! Ruins the performance.
-
Totally agree for gigging. I didn’t put it right but the thrust was they were not welcome at all ie not at rehearsals either. Personally I use one there so I can get the song in my head.

Hi bass community, I have a Mark Bass COMBO 121 and would like add an extension cab to beef up the sound, am I right in thinking it needs to be 8 OHMS to match the COMBO and will this increase the overall volume? regards Roger

Yep Chris, the Jazz Bass swamp ash body. 😉 No hurry, it's Saturday. 😊 -
It will be a pleasure Tony, give me a few hours, you're talking the Jazz body yes? Re dots, yes it was a custom build by Shuker so all are where they should be 👍 -
I though this would be a little light relief after the Camilo/Tribal Tech epics but it wasn't. Bloody slapping. I hates it, I does (transcribing it, not hearing it). This is the Stefano Cerri bass part for the tune 'Surrender' from the 1982 Jon Anderson album, 'Animation'. A fantastic record that has never been off my playlists since the year it came out. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/surrender-jon-anderson/

@Beedster, please, can Chris the Configurator 😉 unite the (one part) swamp ash body as pictured (bottom left) to the Shuker fretless neck (third from the left or right), weigh the all shebang with strings on and photograph this union front and back? And are there dots on the side (at the correct positions)? Thanks a lot. Cheers.

I'm out now! Recent acoustic folk band rehearsals revealed that my Phil Jones Double 4 just didn't quite have the capacity against an acoustic drum kit. As a result, I borrowed a DB Hype 8 last week to try as a replacement, and it worked great. Pressed the go buy button the following day and it arrived yesterday. Looking forward to the gigs at the end of the month a lot more now.....

I appreciate it.. although any interest was snuffed out by the wife not liking the colours! -
Sounds like a great night, nice one

What about it?

Looking at my gear ins/outs this year (so far) and am treating it more as an exercise in trying to keep in the black. Currently at about £75 in the red.

I have 3 Warwick Corvette 5-strings and they are each different; one in particular has a thicker neck which is not suited to my hands. I would assume that there are per-instrument variations in the other models too and thus you couldn't have 100% confidence that the one you were looking at would be just like the one someone had let you have a go on. TBH, though, the same applies to most instruments.

Went to a Mad Professor gig last night, live dubbing. Was a good show also with Joe Ariwa and Ariwa vocalists Abel Miller and I Jah. And a highlight for me was a new mix of this:

I've seen it for musical instruments, watches, and even a tool box. The issue is probably that they train the system using its own output, which therefore reinforces its ability to output meaningless drivel. It's the AI equivalent of inbreeding. I don't see how it will improve without them doing a rethink, because (if it is AI and not just a rule-based search & replace falsely presented as "AI") the system has been in place for many months and built its knowledge base on poor data. I did have a number of pages of predefined searches on eBay, which excluded the key phrases endemic in the "AI" descriptions to weed them out so I didn't have to see them. But, alongside that, eBay have also chosen to endorse counterfeits, using another implementation of its "AI" to assess reports, and declare no contravention of listing policy found; as a result, I lost faith in their service. They then introduced buyers fees (aka "buyer protection"), which states "If an item doesn’t arrive, is faulty or damaged, or doesn’t match the listing description, you can request a refund within 30 days of the delivery date." and "Experts verify the authenticity of your item for free and carry out a multi-point inspection all at no extra cost.", but how can you trust that when they are actively generating those descriptions and wilfully rejecting reports of counterfeits? So I've pretty much stopped using eBay.

Probably best if I link to the original owners ad from last year for the first of details: It is a lovely bass, however soon after buying it I picked up an Ibanez ATK on a whim and arrived at the conclusion that nothing short of a USA sterling or older stingray 5 (for the ceramic p/up plus switching options) will do for me. In terms of changes since I bought it, I've just raised the action and tweaked pickup height to my preference, removed glow in the dark markers from the neck and bought a hardshell case for it. It currently has Dunlop strap locks on, but will change it back to the schaller buttons it came with unless buyer wants the dunlops. The only thing I'd add as a note to condition, is the slight raised top edge of the control panel cover which I've tried to show in photos, a few little dings/marks around the jack socket, and some slight shiny spots from player wear. All in all though, looks and plays great. I'm Bristol based and would prefer pick up/meet up but I think if the case was packed out a little to stop movement internally and then boxed up, it would probably be fine to post, would just need to sort a box for it. Asking £750 but open to negotiation depending on ease of collection/meet or delivery costs. Need the cash ideally, but conscious this is a bit niche so will consider trades if it's something I could easily move on.-

Good job. If I am ever over that way I will pop by. Is that a lightning rod extension to the mic?

Odd post. Buy crap, do it up. Just buy a serviceable Squier, Harley Benton or EastCoast. And what exactly is a 'Hipshot rip-off tuner'?

The pedalboard doesn't make any difference from what I can tell. The video was bass direct into the amp, and with the pedalboard added the noise is exactly the same. Again this is a new issue and nothing has seemingly changed to cause it. Pedalboard and amp have been working fine together previously and I haven't made any changes. I'm in the UK and on all occasions have just been using mains power with the same issue as home and at various venues. This could be a factor adding to the noise for sure, but I'd be very surprised if it was causing such a problem all of a sudden. Had a look a can't see any missing screws, but thank you for suggestion. Thank you for all the input, it's much appreciated. I have some time this week so I'll take the casing off the amp and see if there's anything obvious!
