  1. Past hour
  2. That was the original reason I have used that in few of my basses. Simple blend pot cuts highs and with a vol they change the sound.
  3. This won't stay here long. Love mine!
  4. Once again, another very good 'u-he' VSTi Synth, previously only available from Computer Music magazine, but now a free download direct from 'u-he'. Although, the smaller brother of bad boy 'Bazille', it still offers plenty of tweaking along with plenty of well-crafted presets (265): BazilleCM: Little modular monster | u-he
  5. I was rather bemused when my son told me there was a pedal-sized parcel for me today. I knew I hadn’t ordered anything as I’ve been having to tighten my purse strings due to impending major change of circumstances. I was therefore completely taken by surprise to find this incredibly lovely gesture and gift when I opened the box: Folks, this was totally unexpected and unnecessary, nevertheless I want to express my profound gratitude to the anonymous benefactors who were kind enough to do this. Thank you! My faith in humanity has been given a much needed boost after the kicking it’s been getting lately. ❤️
  6. Production Tools. MT Power 2 drums - Donation ware - 120bpm Little wooden Bajolele, Double tracked and panned stereo (SM57). Claps - Hands x 4, (SM 57) panned wide layered with centre clap sample Guitar - Budget Jackson V with Schaller hot vintage neck humbucker into Line 6 virtual plexi and 4 x 12. Bass - Spector with EMG-SSD passive with real solder bobbles - compressed. Synthesizer - Xfer Serum - played on PC keyboard . Line 6 USB1 audio interface - Pentium 2nd Gen PC - Ableton 9. I already recorded the ukes a few months back, so built a track using them. The image drew me to imagine a futuristic fairground organ style circus sound. Happy tune with running bass, side snare and clapping. Key of C, the happiest key. I can't really say I wrote the tune, more fitted together a load of typical musical clichés, and probably some nursey rhymes and music I've probably heard before, until I had a big happy futuristic showbiz extravaganza. I had fun making it. Left it a bit sloppy too because it seems to work like that? Very different to what I usually make.
  7. Also - hello!
  8. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/83-bassists-wanted/ - is the correct forum for this kind of thing - this one's just for saying hello
  9. No issues. Any questions, please let me know. Shipping available.
  10. Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender!
  11. Thank you. I looked up Mixpot. Tidy solution and other good things. Good to know. I have decided to stick with passive though. I like the sound this bass makes. I might only upgrade the pots and wiring as per factory setup, and stick with that. Having got to know this Spector a bit, it has so much mid range on the bridge pickup, I don't have to find it with other tricks. Stands out in the mix no problem.
  12. ... and we then reversed the deal as it suited both of us. The BC circle of life, haha. All good as before!
  13. Wasn't sure of the going ra tevon these... £380 seems fair?
  14. My right hand fingers have twisted which makes keyboards difficult as all the fingers get in the way of each other. Fingers to pick on the bass is ok though little finger tends to get ignored as twisted too far a slightly shorter, as is the index finger by a bit over quarter of an inch than the left hand after the first knuckles (hand to finger rather than second or third on the finger) were replaced 10+ years ago. if I had to have the same replacement on my left hand I would as it worked/works well on the right hand.
  15. Look loverly that, once ya swap out that Tort for a BWB... 😉
  16. I'd go with a switch: ser/par, or ser/single. The more you put pots to the signal, the less you get highs when the impedance gets lower. Every pot in a signal means that they act as tones, too. That's why I like Mixpot.
  17. Barely used Dingwall case measuring 50" in length. In near perfect condition and highly padded with numerous fancy pockets for tools, cables and the like. Bass not included. £75 shipping UK £8

    In Memoriam

    Oh wow, So sad to hear of @Mrs Tinman's passing. I remember having a few chats with her on here and FB years ago and she was always funny and kind. All the best to @Tinman and your wider family.
  19. Today
  20. Price drop to £375. Now located near Wisbech.
  21. Dropped to £200, without the spare strings I was originally including. This bass is in hardly used, mint condition.
  22. I should clarify - they sold out of the thing I wanted when I ordered it. Getting new batches of instruments can take months to get manufactured, not super bothered about it. I'm impressed that the idea that pre-bankruptcy orders would be honoured by the newco has even been floated - had written it off in all honesty. But it might still all come to nothing - that's what I mean by the wait and see.
