  1. Past hour
  2. Custom Explorer built by Jon Shuker in 2010. Mahogany body, flame maple top, maple set neck with Jazz profile, rosewood fretboard, white LED side fret markers, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Precision and Jazz pickups, passive volume/volume/tone, tone knob is also a push/pull switch to activate LEDs, individual bridge pieces, schaller strap locks. Commissioned in 2010 for Jon to build it. Gigged a fair bit where it picked up a few battle scars but nothing affecting playability. The nicest Jazz neck I've ever played, and the build quality all round is fantastic. The goal with this bass was to have a 34" scale Explorer that didn't suffer from neck dive and would also fit in a case smaller than a door. To achieve this, the bridge was pushed further back on the body, with the compromise being more limited upper fret access, but the result is zero neck dive and a much more comfortable playing position. The nicks and dings include: small dent on the top above the bridge, ding/chip on the edge/corner near the tone knob, small scratch on the bottom horn, light buckle rash on the back, small ding near the rear strap button, couple of small headstock dings, small chip above P pickup from using it as a thumb rest, couple of dings near the corner of the rear horn/pointy bit. The hardware has tarnished - it all works perfectly well, but the aesthetic has taken a hit for sure. The flightcase is a custom build from Flightcase Warehouse, is a one-hand lift, and built like an absolute tank. One of my old basses has come up for sale and I’d like it back hence putting this beauty up for sale. Not looking for trades but might be open to an offer.

    Octaver/chorus

    A new combo ... well for me at least. Got the Hendrix edition uni-vibe just because it was a Hendrix edition! Experimenting and put it after the octamizer and it gave the resulting octaver sound a 3D quality that was most pleasing. On its own the uni-vibe on bass was not that good (I guess it is a guitar pedal after all) but with the octamizer it's a winner.
  4. You could of course consolidate all of your smaller cases into this one easier to manage case.
  5. I did a little comparison between the grape phaser and the warm audio phasor ii. Unfortunately can't speak for the mxr but the Aguilar has a great feedback (color) feature which makes it nice and 'swirly' (for want of a better word) and has more mid emphasis, whereas the WA has a warmer tone and the feedback gives a more 'vowel' like resonance. I use both on my board. With both on it has an almost envelope filter response.
  6. I've got two lil' barefaced one10s. For gigs I'll use a TC Electronic BH550 up top, sounds pretty good and cuts through the twin guitars and drums of our heavy rock band. I've also got the BH250 for smaller gigs/rehearsal. Great lightweight amp, spectra comp toneprint sounds great on both, built in tuner and I use it with headphones and the aux lead for home practise. I've seen the BH250s on the marketplace here for very reasonable prices, looks slightly bigger than a TE elf

  8. Really enjoyed that 👍
  9. Brilliant basses, I was searching for one for ages and hope to get one at some point, but sadly my budget has been spent on other instruments. GLWTS.
  10. I'm Going To Spain - Steve Bent
  11. There's a really cool bass groove on Melvin Taylor's version of a Blues classic called 'Cadillac Assembly Line.' The bass is muted, which produces a really distinctive tone, and a punchy, short attack. It's worth spending time learning how to use the thumb to produce this muted tone as it can be very effective in certain situations. In my latest YouTube video I talk through this technique and show you the main groove and some variations from this version of Cadillac Assembly Line. Enjoy!
  12. I am offering for sale a 1966 Fender Jazz Bass in excellent condition. This bass is 100% original in all components and electronics, with the only exception being a professional refinish carried out decades ago in a beautiful, vintage-correct sunburst. The finish has aged gracefully and looks absolutely stunning in person, giving the instrument a classic and very authentic appearance. The neck is straight, very comfortable, and stable, and the truss rod works perfectly. The Lollipop tuners, block inlays and binding make Fender basses from this era unique. The bass plays wonderfully (very low action!) across the entire fretboard and delivers the unmistakable mid-60s Fender Jazz Bass tone: warm, articulate, and full of character. Details: Year: 1966 Model: Fender Jazz Bass Weight: 4.1 kg Neck: Straight, truss rod fully functional Frets: great working condition Tuners: Lollipop Electronics & hardware: All original Finish: Refinished sunburst (done decades ago) Includes: Original covers and a Fender case from the European era Price €7000. This is a player-grade vintage Jazz Bass with incredible vibe, tone, and history. The refin makes it more accessible than a fully original example, while retaining everything that truly matters: sound, feel, and authenticity. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos upon request. Serious inquiries only, please.

  16. Today
  17. I have a pair of these... for me they are absolutely the best within their price bracket though I understand headphone choice is quite a subjective matter! I suppose @Hellzero is OK to deal with too... 😜
  18. I use an Aguilar TH500 with my One10. IMO they are a great pairing.
  19. Looking really nice! You know this is going to be really good and an excellent player, people... BUY IT! BUY IT! 😃 WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET..?!
  20. Walnut & Elm Jazz – Basically Done (Just One Screw To Go…) Just waiting on the Schaller strap button and then I can officially stop fiddling with it and admit it’s finished. Chrome control plate is now on, which sharpens it up nicely and stops me staring at it thinking “does it need something?”. It doesn’t. It’s done. I’m not touching it again. Probably. This one will be looking for a new home shortly. Specs: • Walnut & elm body • Nitro clearcoat finish • 9.8lbs (solid, but balances well) • Roasted maple neck • Rosewood board • Guyker tuners • Fender Pure Vintage ‘66 pickups • Bloodstone Guitarworks loom • Hipshot bridge • Schaller strap buttons Finished in nitro clearcoat so it’s got that proper thin, resonant feel rather than the dipped-in-plastic vibe. Set up properly. Low action, no nonsense. Tone-wise it’s got the proper Jazz thing — warm and woody on the neck, bridge has bite and a bit of honk when you lean into it. No active wizardry. Just good components doing what they should. Looking at around £750–£800 ballpark when it goes up properly. FS thread to follow once the final strap button goes in and I resist the urge to “just tweak one more thing”. MGCS – Made to play. Built to last.
  21. 1. What's under the screw-on lid? Pre? Battery? Stash? 2. What's the logic on the pickup spacing? 3. Who did all the graffiti on the Limelight one? Is it replica gráffiti?
  22. For sure, I own this exact bass in the PJ scheme. Absolutely kills!!
