Kay Pedulla 1970s Neck Through Bass
prowla replied to eubassix's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
...following up from that, I bought a piece of Hi-Fi kit last week. The seller listed collection as an option, but eBay instructed him to post it. Fortunately, we worked it out: he cancelled, I got an immediate refund to PayPal, then he re-listed as collection-only, I did the offer, he accepted, and then I went and collected it. -
New Amp Day - Trace Elliot BLX130 Combo and matching cab
BassmanPaul replied to bawjohnson's topic in Amps and Cabs
You're going to have to play some thin notes to get them through that narrow slat!! I saw one of those combos in a music store here in Toronto many years ago. I always thought that it looked a bit odd. Enjoy your new toy. -
It's very shiny! -
Great basses, well done for getting a bargain. Looks much better without the ghastly scratchplate!! Good to hear about a stand-up seller

Ok, so GAS has got the better of me (again) and I’ve splurged a load of cash on something else, so this is now available for £120 including UK second class delivery. -
Ovation Magnum II Fretless with Graphic EQ
HeadlessBassist replied to Happy Jack's topic in Basses For Sale
My eye (yes, I have two. Don't worry...) was caught by the cool looking lever at the top of the bridge - does this amazingly manly bass have a lever that deploys the string mutes? Bet MusicMan wish they'd thought of that before adding those fiddly tiny metal round screws under the bridges of Classic Stingrays. Seriously impressed by the intonation calibration markings on the bridge as well. If Bang & Olufsen made basses, they would make basses like this. -
BUMP Still here, not common to come by, only selling it for what I paid BUMP -
^^^ this It’s a beautiful instrument and will bring immense joy to who ever owns it next. tbh, I’m not sure why it’s not had more interest, sunburst bodies aren’t to everyone’s liking I guess, nor are maple finger boards. I’d like it to have gone to someone in the BC community , but I guess I’ll have to speak to Bass Bro’s about a commissioned sale or summat. -
Here is a pretty much brand new Dingwall NG3 5 String. I've had this for 2 months, used it for 1 gig, and a couple studio session. Hands down the best 5 string bass I have ever player, but sadly not quite the right fit for me. The action is crazy low and yet the strings ring true and clear. Tone from this thing absolutely beastly. This has all the new upgrades Dingwall introduced this year: - Minimalist bridge - Smaller active/passive switch (for no snags and harder to knock by accident) - Neck binding - String bullets (individual string retainers) Finish is a gorgeous black with subtle sparkle. Matt finished knobs that seem to be rubberized, are super easy to grab mid gig and tweak away. I have all the original case and goodies, plus packaging so all good to get this shipped too - will be £35 to UK (contact me if needing shipped further afield and I can see what is possible). I am sure I will regret this - I was giddy after the one gig I played with it after the sense of ultimate low end power. But I know it will mostly sit in my studio unused for the various projects I am involved with. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.-

Looks like Meat Loaf under the pickup switch and Jeff Wayne above the bridge. I have no idea what their signatures look like though

Still available. -
This is beautiful 👍 -
I didn't see anything of it. I went fishing on Cransley Reservoir in Northamptonshire with my older brother for the day. I didn't catch anything.... 😪

Dan bought a loom for a budget P-bass, ( a very affordable upgrade BTW 😉 ) which he is very pleased with. Excellent guy to deal with, spot on comms. instant payment and feedback, perfect transaction. Cheerz, John

I have a very nice 83 Fullerton and 82&84 JVs. The 84 was picked from every new Jazz bass available in Denmark St one day in 1984. It’s a great one. Which is better? They are all very lovely and I enjoy playing them, but neither they, nor any other modern bass will, for me, come close to replicating the feel of a worn nitro finish, preferably pre CBS Fender bass. The sticky, thick poly finish wears in a completely different, flaky, and less agreeable way, so they can never look authentic and, as @Steve Browning quite rightly says, the tort is a crime against humanity. It might be 43 years old, but it’s not a vintage bass to me.

I've been having a really good session again today looking at the Silverstone II. Today's progress has been really interesting, using the Silverstone as a pure FRFR solution (I've also been playing with the cabinet from a "standard rig" point of view too). As I have one in for review, the Darkglass Anagram has been providing front end duties along with my beloved and rather ancient Alesis 24 band programmable EQ in to my fave Bergantino B|Amp or my EBS 802. I have to say that Silverstone II takes effects and amp sims admirably! I've dialled in a killer tone on the Anagram which sounds brilliant through both my studio monitors and the Silverstone II. In a live setting, I have the option of sending FOH a different signal, so there's plenty of options for doing that but it's nice to know that what is coming out of the cabinet behind me is a fair representation of what FOH is also getting. For me, this is really important. A very capable and portable solution with plenty of beans on tap! More later

Nice solution kiat👌

Hi chaps. Up for sale today is this unbelievably good D roc. I purchased this recently from basschat, I wanted to try out fanned fret. I have to say this thing is frikkin unbelievable! I gave it a full set up and cannot get over how stable it is, the action is so low, and i still think it could go a tiny bit more. It is so easy to play with these banjo frets. The multiscale is also amazing and I adjusted to it instantly. The tone is gorgeous. I can see why the dingwalls are so popular, they have created the easiest playing basses ever made. Previous owner resprayed it in a 3k white. Its not perfect very close up. But from a foot away it looks fantastic, and way better without the weird scratchplate sticker. Underneath is a tobacco burst, so the option is there to strip it, or relic it. But it looks so good as it is id keep it. I really don't want to part with it, but my quest for an old p bass has got the better of me and just have to get one. Pics are from previous owner with his permission. It comes with the epic dingwall gigbag, but if that's not of interest id do a deal where I keep it and knock some off the bill. Can post for £20.-

Your amp is rated at 500W not 50. You just proved my point, thank you.

The offspring and her band have been in t'studio. I can't believe this was written by 17 year old kids. https://on.soundcloud.com/V37Y0fuSwYXSnst9Kv The cover artwork was by the singer/guitarist. Not the AI art that seems to be standard now

Hi all - here's a Pedaltrain Backpack 2 Pouch Case for sale, barely been used. Also included is a Classic JR board (which has a fair bit of mileage on it). Separately the case is £135 new and the board is £139 new (albeit with a soft case). So that's £274 total. I'm selling this for £160 £130 posted within UK. As for pedal board sizes - here's the blurb from Pedaltrain: This case accommodates several board sizes (Classic JR, Novo 18, PT-JR). Smaller Pedaltrain sizes in this group (Classic-JR, PT-JR) will have extra room for storage of cables, accessories, etc.-

I purposefully didn’t recommend the Aures2 as I personally found the sound quite disappointing. When I played it (on a GL-30 or GL-10 grand I believe) I could really hear a sort of locational “distance” to the sound: I could really hear that it was coming from the the transducers further back in the piano as opposed to the sound coming from right in front of you when playing acoustically. The other thing is that, as soon as the piano strings are even slightly off concert pitch, layering with the digital engine results in phasing and chorusing.

Iron Maiden in Bremen last night with Avatar. Avatar were good, but not my thing really, though I did know two of their songs from off the wireless. Maiden were Maiden, it's a 1980 to 1992 retrospective tour so you know what to expect. The big digital screens were very effective though. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though it was open air and we all got a bit damp during Avatars set.

I really enjoyed watching some of the footage again. I remember that day vividly, watched it on t.v at home and then went out for a pizza with a friend. I didn't agree with Bob Geldof's version of events at the time, still don't now. He certainly never got a penny out of me. Very few people ever have. Before you all rush to judgement, never mind Ethiopia, I've had a hard life too. It's about time someone had a rock concert raising money for me. The first thing that struck me was, by the standards of 2025, how amateurish and home-made it all was. It was all the better for it, too. The second thing that struck me was, bloody hell, don't all the artists look young! Then what struck me was, if they've all aged forty years, so must I have too! Some very tasty basses and bass playing on display. Those were the days! I particularly enjoyed Martin Kemp playing his Wal (underrated player in my opinion), Paul Denman with Sade(also underrated) and Adam Clayton with U2. It was a bit of a culture shock seeing Status Quo having to use all their formidable gigging experience not to trip over each others leads during their choreographed stage moves. Even buskers have got wireless systems nowadays.

A bit more information would help. First, where is the fret buzz, everywhere across the neck or specific areas, towards the nut, towards the neck etc? When you say "totally straighten the neck out" - how much of a gap is there between the bottom of the string and the top of the 8th and 9th frets if you hold down the string at the first and last fret at the same time? Ideally, the neck would not be set totally straight but there'd be a little bit of a gap, the witdth of a business card, less than 1mm in this area. Are the strings buzzing on the first fret when you play an open string? This is the only reason you'd think about replacing the nut - provided the neck relief has been set correctly and is not bowed back. Don't replace anything for now. Until you confirm this is not a setup issue, you'll only waste money by replacing parts which don't need to be replaced. First things first, get the neck relief right, as described above. Then report back.
