Yeah I did look at the DG212 but £900 put me off when the MB 122 was £600

I think I've probably posted about my 'Bass of Theseus' elsewhere, but I don't think it has graced this 'bitsa' thread. This started out as a fretless that wasn't getting played, so last year I bought a bunch of bits & bobs and rebuilt it. The parts used in this incarnation: Brandoni Japanese body (identical to the MIJ '62 reissue I used to own) AliExpress aged pearl pickguard Fender pickguard screws Fender thumbrest EMJ 'Geezer Butler' P bass pickup & loom Puretone output socket to replace the one that came with the EMG Amazon anti-slug tape Fender P to J conversion neck — The neck came fitted with a nut which was subsequently slotted & shaped to perfection by John at the Gallery Hipshot lollipop HB10 tuners & bushings Fender 'Badass style' HiMass bridge with brass saddles Gotoh nickel plated string tree & strap buttons Callaghan heavy knurled machined knobs Ernie Ball 40-95 Cobalt flatwounds Its almost a shame that I love gigging with my JMJ mustangs so much as this really should be getting some action.

My band mates used to have a grunge covers band but played the interesting, great songs rather than the popular classics. It didn't go well, everyone just wanted Smells Like Teen Spirit, Alive, Black Hole Sun and Man In The Box while they were playing Sweet Young Thing by Mudhoney and Greasebox by Tad and Love Buzz by Nirvana. This is why I won't do covers. I don't want to play the standard classics.

You’re right - I should have asked for more, it’s sold already 🤣 -
Maybe we’ve been lucky Doug, but we aren’t a typical covers band.

I did, but John East also posted a bit more legit RTA over on Talkbass several years ago. A lot of the graphs I've seen posted in various places with attribution to me were for specialty use cases, i.e. with non-MM pickups, V-V wiring in front of the preamps, my own circuit mods, and so on.

I have one of these in this finish and it is a really classy piece of kit. Sounds and looks awesome- hard to find anything bad about them. GLWTS- 1 reply

Evening all. 👮♀️ There are a lot of folks on this forum who modify basses, and a few talented individuals who can make them from scratch. But there aren't many who can actually make a living from building basses and guitars. So I thought it might be interesting for us to have as a guest someone who does exactly that - our very own Robin, aka @Manton Customs, who is quite often at a Bash with his unique creations. The format will be a live Q&A, running to about 25 minutes I guess, and I'm hoping Robin will bring along some works in progress as well as the usual stunning finished basses. https://www.mantoncustoms.co.uk/basses -

Possible rain damage… looking for advice

That is a concern with pots. If you wash all the lube out you have a very clean pot that is done for. -
The TGI Extreme bags are very good value but just check if you're getting the updated version or the older one if you order one. I think they've changed the handle design - the old one is a one piece and the newer one may be a two piece. A bit geeky I know but it would make a difference to me. I have a Thomann SafeCase 80 and it's bloody brilliant. The little accessory bag it comes with is a genius idea and sounds perfect for your pedals. I've got all my cables and bits in it. The quality is great and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I also have a Gator Pro Go which is equally good and has tons of useable storage space. You would get your pedals in there easily I think. They're both double your budget but you're getting a lovely new bass and they're top quality bags - I would treat myself......it's just the cost of a couple of sets of strings more. Oh and they both fit a 35" scale Spector in.

It only delivers 180w into 8 ohms, so you won't have a lot of headroom. The i Pro 600 V2 is a better match.

Peavy TXF 410 Cab. 4 Ohms. Used, but classic bomb-proof Peavey cab. Collection only from Ulverston LA12. Any questions please ask -
That’s an unbelievably good price for such a fantastic pedal. Good luck with the sale! -
I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment! -
Shift Line Olympic MkIIIs boutique Tube preamp/DI/cab sim - one of the best tube preamps available. It sounds absolutely phenomenal, can do a very nice fat clean sound with the gain at about 8 o’clock through to any amount of dirt you need and it always sound amazing in way that you only get with a Tube - perfect for anyone using IEM’s going to FOH Info here: https://shift-line.com/olympic I assume if you’re looking at this you’ll either know what it is or you’ll go and have a look online, but this is the latest Mk3s version, so it can take an SD card and you can change the cab sims etc. This pedal is brand new and un-gigged and has only been used by me for half an hour on the day it arrived. I bought it from @tayste_2000 who got it as a warranty replacement from Shift Line, so it was absolutely brand new, I bought it and played it for 20-30 mins, however I then bought an Anagram. I thought I’d maybe have an analogue and a digital board, but it’s not going to happen, and isn’t necessary really. So I can’t say the pedal is “unused” but it’s as good as - I’ve tested it, then it’s gone back in the box Sounds like this👇🤘 Comes boxed with the leaflets that Shift Line send, price includes DPD Next Day Delivery (as you get a 1 hour time slot for delivery) £325 inc NDD Shipping! Not really looking for trades, but...! I am after a Nordstrand Starlifter preamp/DI (if you have one of these for sale anyway let me know) so I’d take one of those + CMW. I’m also after a P Bass (Fender/FSO - Lakland Skyline, G&L etc, maybe even a Sire) so depending on what it is I could add some money or vice versca, but we’ll see - I’d rather sell it and sort a PB out later on, but whatever - no harm in messaging me

I hope it works out well. All the best.
