    Thanks, but it's 5 string only for me now- sold all of my 4's as they weren't being used anymore. Paul

    Not quite yet but close enough for me to confirm that this year's Bash is definitely a goer 🙂 If more pre-payments don't come through as we get closer to the 'cancel with full refund' deadline for paying the hall on August 11, I'll give another shout.

    Call Me is one I've done for years, really tough on the singer, Debbie Harry has an unusual range so . It's lots of fun to play for the rest of us. I love the complete switch to A-D in the guitar solo but keeping the rhythm from the verses in Picture This, dropping down to open strings at this point makes it feel like a bit of a break in intensity too. It just feels right. Throughout the songs there are so many tiny details. Interestingly he plays far more freely in their live performances. The other thing I'm enjoying is that so much of the playing is four to the bar. I've played so much indie stuff over the years that it's fun just to make the change and it then makes the 8-beat more exciting when you bring it in for a couple of bars then drop out again. I think I'm getting slightly obsessed here My big issue is that run on the F#m in Atomic, so many hand shifts, I'm still dropping the octaves at that point in rehearsals and working it at 2/3 speed in practice whilst gradually speeding up. Interestingly my opera singer/director friend tells me classical players slow things down a lot more than that and play really strict tempo on pieces where the tempo is an issue. It's kind of reassuring really that we are all human and effortless playing is hard work.

    Just wondering if there’s any news on this, hopefully it’s been returned to the owner

    I would always recommend foam tips over the silicone ones. You get such a better seal which then gives you a better bass response. It's a night and day difference.

    Hi! I'm a 30+ female who has been thinking of learning a instrument for fun - figured no harm done in playing Rocksmith and seeing how it feels. My first thought was guitar since I feel too old for band but knew I had made the wrong choice when I caught myself googling intensely "how to make your guitar sound like a bass" before the guitar arrived. Not a metal person, more of a disco / dance / funk / Motown but also into rock, esp alt, indie, math, some prog, pop punk .. figuring out which bass could handle both has been challenging but someone suggested to check what types of bass the bands I liked used, and some did precision, others jazz, and others used 80s Jpn jazz basses which had PJ pickups apparently? So a PJ but the other way around. So I figured it would not hurt to look at local listings and fell for some along the way. Among those that picked my attention at a low price point for a beginner were Samick Saturn and Ibanez EXB445 (figured one more string for my goth bands couldn't hurt .. ) and then the Fernandes FRB40 that fellow 90s Jrock enthusiasts may have played their first lines at. At a lower price point missed a Cort GB JB while I was pondering and an Aria Pro II Magna both of which I could not find reviews of. If anyone has more info on the uniqueness of these vintage Japanese basses from the 80s and 90s I would be thankful 🙂 and I guess pls suggest your favorite low end bass that can handle both disco grooves and the best of The Cure lol

    Well he is a punk bassist 😀

    If simplifying them and leaving out key phrases is putting his mark on them, then he certainly did that....

    Thank you

    In that case, perhaps the problem with the ZS10s is that they are not properly sealed in my ear canal? (I use the supplied "thin rubber mushroom", which fits but doesn't seal). So perhaps the difference was the memory-foam tips, rather than the in-ear device itself? Those memory-foam tips are a cheaper option than new The 215s were notably better - perhaps because of the tips, or perhaps because the sound was mixed by a professional PA company.

    When I saw Blondie the bassist was a spector toting beast called Leigh Foxx, amazing tone albeit very 'front and centre' of the mix

    The Dead Spot Eliminator is definitely not the same concept as the Fat Finger. The Fat Finger is just a weight. Adding weight changes the resonant frequency. The Dead Spot Eliminator is a tunable resonator that stores energy at a particular frequency and feeds it back into the neck. Very different concept. That does not automatically mean that the Dead Spot Eliminator actually works. I have not tried it.

    The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm

    Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!

    Personally, I would definitely want the timbre to vary with dynamics similar to how it does with a DX7 - otherwise it's just like playing a fixed sample. Edit to add: any of these voices likely to make it into the 4.5 preset list? They sound great.

    These are very underrated - I love mine! GLWTS

    Gigged one the other day! Shame that they’re not getting as much use and love as deserved 😖

    All unused, top quality sets. Double ball ends but possibly can be used for shorter basses. 37” length. (I could use the outer strings on my standard scale bass but would rather sell as sets). * Newtone 5 string sets x 6: Diamond Bass, hex core, stainless steel, 46-130, length 37” (ball end to ball end) with tapered B. £25 each (discount for multi purchase) ( I also have a Hot Wires 5 string flat wound set…pm me)
  23. Bass Wielder
    Yep! I used the 370M (very thin)but fantastic!👌🏽 Much thanks🤞🏽
  24. Bass Wielder
    Ah….a post comic/highjacker! That should cost you a pack of strings. I’ll pm you my address!🤫

    *PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE * Wicked pedal! Tracks beautifully. Only selling as I’m now using multi-effect unit. In great condition (I may even have original box…can’t find at the moment m). Does an octave below and/or above. Also has an independent boost effect. Blurb here: Octavius tri-tone generator has 4 controls LO OCT, HIGH OCT, MASTER MIX and BOOST. LO OCT knob lets you set the volume of the lower octave signal produced by the pedal. HIGH OCT knob controls the volume of the higher octave signal produced by the pedal. The balance between the levels of these 2 knobs is what creates your particular octave-divided sound. Experiment with your mix, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of effects you’ll get. MASTER MIX knob lets you set the overall volume of your low and high octaves compared to your direct signal. Use the BOOST knob to control the output of your octave-divided sound. The boost function lets you dial in a solo level, whether the overdrive circuit is activated or not.

    Also…don’t mind a trade for a decent bass cab…???

    Bought these recently here and they’re great but I decided to go with my preferred choice on a bass I’ve modded for a particular situation. In my trial with them I found them to be quiet and even with low output as described (alnico standard) but much better than stock pickups. In other words...pro improvement. My East UK active preamp has gain adjustment so that didn’t pose a problem. I thought they were vintage voiced (60’s) but even slap style sounded pleasant. I preferred the more hi-fi sound of the EMG for the stuff I’m doing (plus I have more vintage styled instruments available). I also did the series/parallel switching with them and that was great (versatile option) but you can choose either as both ways sounded great. The original post: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/518269-celinder-ss-humbucker-alnico-jazz-pickups-sold/#comment-5561431 I have epoxied the tabs so they’re much better and poses no problems to mount the pickups. I’m asking what I paid for them and this includes UK shipping.
