    I have a few you can use if by some quirk of space-time physics you can't put 479 guitars in a Mitsubishi colt.

    The guitarists were both using Line6 Helix's (Helices?). Bass player looked to have a tuner and preamp of some type but I couldn't get close enough to see. I was idly thinking that flight cases should be painted to look like amps/stacks...

    Weird. It's up and running but it appears to only show posts going up to January 23rd and no further. I know it's pretty quiet on there but that's...puzzling.

    @Beedster Chris I think you’d get a lot more success/interest if you stuck this in the Double Bass & EUB for sale section. For anyone interested, these are absolutely top notch and perfect if you double on your gigs (or not of course). And Chris (Beedster) is a gent to deal with.

    Another big fan of wireless and the freedom to roam. Audiences seem to love it, right?! (And also super useful for sound checks, too). What a great performance reminder: "people listen with their eyes" - I'm making note of that one!

    Yeah a few rig rundowns I’ve watched have shown speakers being under the stages.

    Be careful, I did a walkabout at a wedding and some lady started hugging/dancing with me so the strings got muted - I had to stick my bum really far out to get a gap so I could play 😂

    This bass looks very similar to my own, which also had an at-home neck reset. I'll post my own build/rebuild diary here at some point.

    My really nice Fretless Bass with a solid Alder body, Maple neck & a beautifully figured Slab Rosewood lined fingerboard, plays like the proverbial dream and sounds great with oodles of mwoarrrrr. In excellent condition with just a few light play marks. Suitable for either the seasoned Fretless player, or due to the low action and fret lines this would be excellent for a beginner or an inexpensive way to try a Fretless if you’ve always fancied one, but didn’t want to spend a lot of your Great British pounds in case Fretless is not for you. Set up really nicely with a low action all the way up the neck, a lovely rich ‘woody’ sound & the bridge pickup provides instant Jaco when required, otherwise it can be played without the Mwoarrr. Nice and light at 3.7kg or a tad over 8lbs in ‘old money’ according to my digital scales.The lines thankfully extend over the sides of the fingerboard making intonation a doddle, even for an old duffer like me. In excellent condition, with just a few play wear marks, but nothing serious. Specs……. Solid Alder Body Maple Neck Lovely Figured Rosewood Slab lined Fretless fingerboard Yamaha Soap Bar neck & bridge pickups with individual volume and Master tone control. La Bella Flats - if memory serves. 38mm nut width, so very Jazz - esque + nice and shallow. Stagg padded Gig bag included. Any questions, please give me a shout. Can post to the U.K. Mainland via Parcelforce 24 delivery, or collection welcome & knock £25 off the price.

    We already know it’s a fake.

    I'm not quite as sceptical about this bass. I like to refer to Geddy's Big Beautiful Book of Bass as a starting point on these occasions. There are examples of similar tortoishell around 65/66 in there, but I agree it could be a later replacement. The machine head design is the part I cannot find examples of around that date, but their condition/finish looks much more authentic than modern Road Worn parts. Photos of pots/wiring/cavity/pickup assemblies/windings and neck pocket are also essential evidence. The neck plate is correct for the neck date. Torres started with Fender early to mid 60s, so I'd expect his stamp to be nice and defined after only 3 or 4 years use. The Torres stamp looks in line with many other examples found via online searches. The neck decal looks correct to me for a 65 to 69 according to The Fender Bass (Black and Molinaro). Other than the machines, the neck looks genuine to me. I'd ask the Talkbass community about the machines in particular, as there's a lot of knowledge on there too. I'd be surprised if someone trying to create a fake of this quality cocked up by using the wrong machines. The body also looks correct to me. More photos as above are required, but I'm leaning more towards genuine overall. "What's the price?" is also relevant for a CBS Fender. Why bother faking a CBS era bass, when pre CBS commands much higher prices?

    I have a spring reverb that I bought about 40+ years ago when planning to build a guitar combo. Always fancied using it... is it a worthwhile effect for bass or does it just add mud?

    At one point everyone thought you had to have a V8 in a sports car to be fast and cool, then they started designing 4 cylinder engines that were faster and more efficient. In cabs, the size of the speaker is the wrong way to measure volume and tone.

    Ah thanks. yes! Looking at it, that could be a good future upgrade/replacement.. I like the idea. is this a peddle to be added in between the bass and amp. Or in the effects loop?
  28. Bill Fitzmaurice
    Don't assume that if you can't see them that the amps and speakers aren't there. They may be back stage or under it, in isolation booths.

    Yay, a week to go! Today is planning day - do I have enough stands? EDIT - EEK, I do not! Glad I checked!

    Wow! I know from bitter experience that these don't work for me ergonomically, but a stunning bass. Not that many around with the shallower neck. Are these solid walnut wings - great to see an image of the back of the body? Also, is it the standard 1.64 nut?
  32. neepheid
    I know, right? I only went wireless last year - dunno why I didn't do it years ago, it's so much fun! People listen with their eyes, so you bet I go on walkabouts during easy bits in songs
