Those stripy outfits make the poor cows hips look big? I used the Harley Davison TB-70 for this. It has a clean preamp and some heavy gauge strings, uh hu. Run into the POD VST amp model. then a bit of top end into some modulation to widen it. Made a synth kick drum and used a hat loop and midi samples. Made an ambient sound with a cow, and added the cries of distressed cattle. Added some synths, then grilled a rump steak for 10 minuets each side, served with chips.

Thank you, very much appreciated. I can only think that the neck / headstock has been re finished as apart from the font being iffy, whoever did the refin has made it look like it’s been there from when the neck was made.

I have a mate who owned an extremely high end hi-fi business. We're talking installs running into the tens of thousands; another of my mates is one of his clients. It's ridiculous money changing hands (£750 for a turntable power supply, I mean, WTAF??). Anyhow, I reckon I've listen to enough records on high end kit and - while it's a personal opinion - no amount of money thrown at various set ups is going to convince me that those crackles and pops and surface noise etc. would be worth the outlay. Could you imagine if, in an alternative universe, CDs actually came first, then 100 years on some wag said, 'Hey look, I've invented this, it's 7" bigger, made of black plastic. It's prone to scratching and if you play it a few times, it'll actually sound worse! You won't be able to use it anywhere other than in your house and the hardware will cost a fortune. It's great, and oh, it's going to cost you three or four times more than those CD things.'

The headstock looks right for a sonic series - the dark truss rod access surround isn't normally seen on other entry level instruments. The logo isn't going to fool anyone the 'precision bass' font is wrong, but it's okay for a bit of fun.

It ‘should’ be from a Squier Sonic P Bass. No other markings apart from a spaghetti logo which has to have been done be a Luthier - it’s as good as any I’ve seen including USA Fender - which it obviously is not, but it’s an incredible neck.

Part exed my Stingray with Bob. The madman drove 3 hours from Wales to show me how to make the Stingray sound as it should through the lovely little Aguilar TH500 we swapped and drove back again. The man has constitution if nothing else! 😄 Lovely guy, pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Bob!

100% one of the best shops i've ever dealt with albeit only the once or twice. Always gets back to you when you make an enquiry, extremely helpful on the phone. Just doing things the right way. This has put me in the mood for a Limelight bass now. Darn it. Dave

Nice price -
Hi Folks, Echoing all the uber-positive feedback above for David, aka, @MungoBass, who I've just bought an Hughes and Kettner Red 5 DI/cab simulator 'thingamajig' from... .. To be honest, I've no idea what it does, or how to use it, but it's exactly as described and it looks really cool... 😆 Anyway, back on topic, David's a great person to deal with, super-quick delivery and good comms throughout.. All in all, s credit to the Basschat community! And yes, this InPost thing is really good isn't it @Owen.... 😁 Anyway, thanks again David and all the best for now! 🙏😊 Nik

Lovely Fender Squier Bronco Bass in rare lime green finish. Bought direct from Fender as I could not find the colour anywhere else. The bass has been upgraded by fitting a Warman bass humbucker in place of the standard single coil pickup which sounded a bit thin. This has transformed the sound of the bass which now sounds like a Fender should. Also fitted is a Hi Mass bridge and a cheeky fender logo. It is in great condition and looks great with the Lime green and Maple neck. Complete with a Marcus Miller deluxe padded gigbag which is a perfect size and fit. Will come with original strap buttons and the original bridge and pickup. I gigged it once and it delivered on playability and sound as well as looking the part. Appreciate it's not for everyone but it is a great instrument and well worth the asking. UK shipping for £15-

Hi everyone. Ive had my BB1100 for a little while and it plays really nicely but I can't seem to get pickup height right. I do tend to dig in quite hard whether playing with a pick or fingers and im getting pops and cracks as if the strings are touching the pickup poles. Is it normal to need to set the pickups quite low? Ive got about 3mm between strings and pickups at the moment.

I've had both the Fishman Platinum EQ and now use EBS. Both are great pieces of kit (especially as a high impedance input for EUB piezo pickups). The EBS won't "sound better" but is a more versatile tool if you need to blend 2 inputs or switch between two inputs with full separate EQ filters etc. If I had EUB with piezo pickup, I'd save the money and get the Fishman. But as soon as I'm looking it microphones, multi-input blending or multi-instrument switching, then I'd pay the extra for the EBS every time.
