Schroeder/Markbass setup - blown away!
Acebassmusic replied to pantherairsoft's topic in Amps and Cabs
Once upon a time I was a little irresponsible.....Schroeder 4x10 AND 2x15 Where the heck did I think I was playing? Wembley 🤣 I replaced it with a "more sedate" Barefaced Big Twin T. 🤣 -
Don't fancy yours. Bass, that is, not other half.

Agree with you @paul_5 - also don’t forget washers mean you can drill 1-2mm up to give you some wiggle room.

Everything Must Go- Steely Dan

Man, that's very nice indeed.... I had (and stupidly sold) a paisley Telecaster, and have wanted a bass in the same scheme for ages.

If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience.

I've had great fun and satisfaction out of this instrument. It is much modified, as you'll see, and it took me a couple of years to get it to just where I wanted it. I've really enjoyed having it, but have moved on in my mind, so happy to pass it to someone else. Specs: 30" scale Semi hollow 38mm nut width Mahogany body and neck Maple top Bound fingerboard, not sure what wood (likely rosewood), 20 frets. Modifications: (loads!) Tuners - Wilkinson gold Y tuners Neck - I don't like shiny, so I took the neck back to bare wood, then danish oiled it. It feels fantastic, very tactile. I'm not good at fine finishing, so the points where I left off sanding are obvious (see pictures) Body - same as above, don't like shiny. Back and sides have just had the shine taken off, but I went to town on the top - took all the finish off, then danish oil. It's a matte finish that allows the wood pattern to present well. Again, see pics for a couple of bits where I went too hard... Tailpiece - I wanted to use a long scale set of TI flats, so fitted the tailpiece. This has worked very well, with a couple of unexpected benefits - the usual 3 point bridge 'problems' have been bypassed. Also there is a pleasing natural saturation to the tone. It's very much a blues bass. Pickups - as you can see, I've replaced the 2 mini humbuckers with 3 matching AliExpress specials. I really like the Thundertron vibes, and they sound excellent. Controls - wired the pickups to master vol/tone and a 5 way selector. I don't like positions 2 and 4, but each pickup on it's own sounds great - real plummy warmth from the neck, P vibes from the middle, and just a tighter P sound from the bridge. So there we are. I think it looks splendid, you might disagree. I believe the current examples have 42mm necks, so this one might appeal to those who prefer a jazz neck... Very happy to answer questions, or take any good natured abuse...

Schroeder/Markbass setup - blown away!

I always gigged with the angled driver pointing up, being pretty tall playing on small stages was always a pain for me but this was like having a regular cab and a wedge monitor in one compact box. I did tiny pubs and ballrooms with it like this, always delivered the goods. I later recreated this with the Markbass Club 121 cabs (after struggling with the TRV151p) - one facing forward and the other angled upwards on top of it with my head on an Ikea laptop tray! Looking back I should have just kept the Schroeder.. -

Bartolini 6RC Pickup. This is a direct drop-in for your Rickenbacker bridge pickup. Only selling as I am using an alternative in my 4003. Just a bit of shine on the top of the pup where the string rubs a little. Bass Direct have these new at £118 < only asking £75, UK postage included. PM for any more info, thanks for looking! SB 😀

StingRayBoy42 started following Live Aid

Live Aid was on my eleventh birthday. I remember watching it and thinking "They're going to have to do something BLOODY spectacular for my twelfth..."

@Stub Mandrel you need a TC BAM200 so it all matches!

I can imagine circumstances where I’d spend that on a bass. But not that bass. Forgiveness sometimes, permission never.

Wireless IEM system : M-VAVE WP-12 - suprisingly good for the price

The charger box form was a big factor in my decision. I find that very convenient. Live I often use a Joyo guitar wireless (JW-06 I think) system that uses the same method, and I really like it.
