Well, the Nux arrived and 5mins later it was packed up and ready to go back. The well reported buzz was more than a minor issue. I guess i was expecting to hear something in the background but it was quite pronounced. I know Nux state that these arent really for solo playing, which i suppose is there was of saying the sound isnt perfect, but compared to the Lekato its like night and day day. They were used (from Amazon) so maybe faulty, but Im sticking with the Lekatos for now. After another go im used to the latency and it’s not a big deal. Wish there were alternatives in this from factor/price/freq band.

He's into heavy waffles these days.

It’s some sort of blasphemy, really. Everyone needs a Precision. Or maybe three.

Looks like the kinda thing @binky_bass would go for

This is something you don't see that often: A BassLab Custom DN VII, so a double neck fretted and fretless, 7 strings for each neck and weighing 7.7 kilos, which is not that heavy for such a monster. For sale at a very decent price (now) on Reverb (located in Germany, for those interested).

I keep meaning to give that a try… 👍

It's like a buggy, but for bass. 🤔🤦🏻🤪

I prefer the other comp, the photo comp. 😉

Hahaha good try. Joking aside, personally having a bass like that go free to someone who will appreciate what it is, is far preferable to selling it dirt cheap. Of course they could just sell it and make a killing but hopefully I will find a keen buyer.

Hi all Recent left handed bass learner here (this week!) Been learning the guitar for 2/3 years and have had a hankering for the bass and so here I am! I have gotten myself a Squier CV 70s Jazz Bass and a Fender Rumble 40 and have just started the Beginner to Badass course and am loving it! Looking forward to being part of these fora!

So… all these set ups, but not many folk entering the Basschat monthly composition competition, or maybe you used to? It’s not a serious competition, just making something up based on a photo chosen by the previous months winner. September’s comp will be pinned in the Recording section sometime on the 1st or 2nd.

what is a bass buggy? Any pictures of it?

Cheers Ray 👍 My day job space is behind that couch, with the desk facing the basses. Some days it makes me go off for little play breaks, other days it’s a motivating reminder why I work full time as 2 of those basses still need fully paying off 🙄 and i feel lucky to now have the spare room, but not the mortgage 😬

The high quality of modern instruments puts me off buying a vintage instrument.

Played to a packed out crowd at Didmarton Bluegrass festival. Lovely gig and people.

These days, it seems quite a popular deed, so here is mine. Music Man Stingray EX, ebony fingerboard, originally 3EQ preamp. The latter is now replaced with a 2EQ M05400 (once again, thank you very much @Hellzero). The treble pot is C500k. Strung with Ernie Ball Extra Slinky 40-95.

I bought a used Bass Buggy and it’s absolutely brilliant. I played at a festival today and it made it so simple to transport the bass. Why, oh why, didn’t I but one earlier? Just wanted to express that really.

That's the long term plan, but for her buying things is apparently a very intensive process, fraught with second guessing and indecision. Possibilities have to researched, options examined, costs scrutinized. I, on the other hand, tend to go "ooh shiny" and get my card out.
