  1. Past hour
  2. Would £225 (plus post at cost, if required) grab anyone?
  3. I thought id go back and see if things had changed and they have. 1st - Yamaha BB300 Go to - Maruszczyk Elwood L custom My bass- Maruszczyk Elwood L custom - not unexpected as this was built to my spec.
  4. It was in fact signed by Francis Rocco Prestia, and what you can't read is Kyda, meaning Keep Your Dreams Alive. Yes, Pino's son is named Rocco after Francis Rocco Prestia, who was the idol of Pino Palladino, ... small world when you think he also was Jaco Pastorius' idol too.

  6. Hello everyone, Having upgraded both my touring and backup boards to Cioks power supplies, this is now surplus to requirements. It has recently been serviced and re-capped, and everything works well. It comes with a useful amount of standard 2.1mm pedal leads in both short & long lengths, including the Voodoo Labs 18V adaptor lead, and a pair of mounting brackets. Also included, but not photographed, is a brand-new Thomann UK kettle/IEC lead. Everything is in used, but good overall condition, and ready to go to work! EDIT: Now only £80 for the lot, which includes mainland UK postage. No offers or trades please. Please message me if interested, and thanks for looking! Etienne
  7. Traded some strings with Andy. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with, a real Gent & I would heartily recommend him to all BC’ers without reservation. Thank you again Andy - ‘Outstanding’👍👍 Cheers, Tim
  8. The larger plates denote a model that has US hardware and a US spec pickup. It is alder where the other models are basswood. Enjoy whichever you choose.
  9. Complete with his son's name Rocco on the body. Can't work out the other word though.
  10. It doesn't have to be. Accepting that any mod, good or bad, will reduce the resale value, then if the bass is potentially a keeper but you just want to make it more comfortable to play by taking some weight out of it - then you could do it from the back (upper horn, lower horn, either side of the neck run) without overly upsetting the balance and just leave the back with open chambers. It's a bit 'horses for courses'.
  11. My first 5er was a 735a and it is a proper workhorse. Loads of great features - 45 degree string through body, 6 bolt neck joint and a five piece laminate neck for tons of stability, a battery light indicator (why don't all actives have this!) and a true passive/active toggle (i.e. passive mode works with a dead battery) with a passive tone baked into the treble control. String spacing is on the narrower side too at the nut, making it feel much less jarring to transition from playing 4s. I did a small bit of nut filing from the factory's specs, but it set up great and sounded very bright and modern. A set of GHS pressurewounds made it really come to life! If you're looking for a good 5 to start your journey I honestly doubt you'd beat this at the price!

    Awesome, thanks so much
  14. If you can push some buttons with your fingers then you can program drums and keys. That’s all I do.
  15. Could be that, being a Japanese company, they use Japanese Industry Standard screws ? At first glance a Jis screw looks just like a Philips. If it has a small dimple on the head or an 'X' then it's Jis. Be aware not all Jis screws have the marking so err on the side of caution and use a Jis screwdriver for product made or designed in Japan 👍
  16. Good to hear. Onwards and upwards!! Wifey gave me a scare a couple of months back when she had what turned out to be most likely a TIA. Was a worrying few hours in hospital though after a blue light sprint to A&E
  17. And here is the preamp diagram/wiring:
