  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Thanks all. I ended up going with a passive dimarzio relentless p pickup.
  4. One of Janek’s favourite pedals and it’s 100% chaos. I have one!
  5. Harley-Davidson - heavy, underpowered, unreliable, incredibly uncomfortable, vastly overpriced. If that's your idea of "wonderful" then yes, they are.
  6. That's either "5 go mad with the heated glue gun" or there was a bukkake party while they were building the amp.
  7. Thanks for everyone's help, it has been super helpful and I do really appreciate it. As a side note, my daughter has taken up bass and as a first bass, I bought her the HB Mustang and I am super impressed with quality of it, it is a really good bass for the money, in fact way better for the money than expected. So I'm going to take the plungexand buy the HB MV-5PJ. For just over £200, I cant really go wrong as a tester into the world of 5 string bass.
  8. Unopened, still have the cellophane wrappers. This is a 5-string set and commonly used as replacements for 40DCs in Spectors to get that PJ sound. The 40P has a reverse P inside and the 40J has a single coil J in there. I have a Euro 5 LX with the same and prefer it to a pair of DCs. I can't see myself buying another 5 anytime soon, so these need to go.

  9. A pair of USA manufactured EMG 35HZ pickups. Excellent condition, 10-12” of tails. No screws. Price includes UK Signed for 48 Postage.
  10. That's a very nice example of a rare bass, and I would say a very good price. Fwiw there are MIJ Washburn & Daion/Yamaki - specific FB groups where there might be significant interest in something like this. GLWTS!
  11. My Mother-in-law got a Musikding kit of Aion's version of a Lovetone Big Cheese. Not sure what it will be like but I saw it on a photo of Colin Greenwood's board and want to try...
  12. Nope - looks like you'd need to create a separate battery compartment. Here are the basic dimensions on my bass. Body thickness = 42mm Standard cavity depth & width = 30mm deep, 22mm wide. Pots and capacitor depth from bottom of control plate = 24mm. Duracell battery = 23mm wide (wider than the standard cavity routing, and 18mm thick.
  13. You don’t even know her partner. You may not be his type. 😛
  14. I did pro pantomime for four years at the Sheffield Lyceum. Sometimes you’re in the main pit in front of the stage and others you’re often in a room behind the pit operating via tv monitor. Usually, only the MD/pianist can see the monitor, but the whole band is hearing the proceedings on headphones, as well as the band mix and any backing tracks to add other parts. They’re tough runs - we used to do somewhere around 56 shows, sometimes three shows a day when the school kids would arrive by the coach load on early December mornings.
  15. Parameter assigns are great wish more multifaceted had similar functionality. Being able to tie parameters to input level or to waveforms is very cool, especially when you want to do something a little out of the ordinary.
  16. Let me take some pics of my 50s single coil P-Bass control cavity to see if there is room
  17. Yesterday
  18. Either stop playing "Total eclipse of the heart" or stop treating the lyrics as stage directions. It's not "Time warp".
  19. Cost me about £350 back in the day and was the core of my board and IEM setup for a number of years. Essentially it’s a 2 channel mixer with a DI, balanced and unbalanced out for the bass. With a 2nd input for an IEM feed, this input is switchable mono/stereo. So basically allows you to take a really great FOH signal or utter trash. I use to take a passive feed out of the back of PA speakers. There is then a thru for you to pass this feed on to other band members and I’ll include a 4 channel Behringer Headphone mixer (that currently I can’t find the 12v adaptor for) and you have an all in one IEM solution. So you have a control for the bass volume and the feed volume. Allows as I saw above to just grab anything from FOH and you’ll always be able to hear yourself. I do the same now with my Darkglass Anagram and in a pinch Element. Open to offers and as above will chuck in the Behringer 4 ch headphone amp and 2 pairs of 🤷🏻‍♂️ KS10’s (without tips for hygiene purposes) to give you a full wired simple IEM rig for those wanting to try it all out. Can also be used as a headphone amp with a Twelve South Airfly to add Bluetooth. This was made about 15 years ago so to me is noisier than I would like and the pots can be a bit crackly, but I’ve never sprayed any switch spray in there. Just part of my never ending clearout.

  20. After a rethink on moving on the H90 and a recent Bassrig purchase, this re-jig is working out very well.
  21. Yes, saw that review. Much appreciated for the comment.
  22. Thanks to the generousity and kindness of my friends on basschat ill weather this current storm. Thank you Withdrawn from sale 🥰
  23. A few years ago now, but do you remember how the Streamliner 900 went in comparison to the D800+ and D800?
  24. I played one of these years ago, it was lovely. Good price too for a high quality bass. Shame i cant afford it.
  25. Good call. I fondly remember a session when I ran my MB200 with a totally ordinary Precision and a beaten rehearsal room 4x10; with everything at 12 noon on the amp and both knobs on the bass up to 10 it was one of those "damn.. that's the sound in my head" moments. Just a great blues/rock tone with a bit of drive but not overdriven, plenty of mids and presence but not harsh. Had a truly enjoyable few hours playing middle-of-the-road rock at reasonable volumes, but sadly the project went nowhere and with the gain/volume on that amp working as it does, I couldn't get the same sound at the somewhat higher volume I need for the bands I actually play in. So for me, it's the SansAmp BDDI v2. The original was good into the front of an amp (and saved the day direct into the PA a couple of times), but since the v2 came along with its mid controls I can just set my sound up on the pedal and throw it straight at the PA. It might be reaching to call it a signature sound, though. Techs seem to like what I send them, but to quote the guy a week or so ago - "Yup.. that sounds like a bass.. which is good!"
  26. Yep - that’s been one of my bugbears with it. I tried to do a 4-cable effects setup, and having to plug in and use the footswitch to switch it in and out just adds to that copious amount of floor spaghetti. As well as the input gain thing, the tacky rack ears with the squished text, and the non-padded gig bag with no shoulder strap!
