Cracking! Thanks Brought the Diagram Brothers to mind, much missed. -
I miss my 10b... I should never listen to myself when I try to convince myself if what to do with gear. I'm wondering if I could get one to play with again... Sigh

Selling my Caveman Audio BP1 Compact from my current pedal board. In absolutely mint condition with all original packaging. I also have a brand new unused 12v dc adapter to run the pedal from if you don't have a board power supply. An incredible preamp with an oh so sweet secret sauce for your tone. You can see from the photo I have the main input from my bass go in to the Caveman which then sends my signal around all my pedals in an FX loop with the signal re entering the pedal and then going out through the XLR. The tuner is also given it's own tuner out output keeping it isolated from your chain if needed. Official blurb here; BP1 Compact crams the essence of our beloved BP1 Bass Preamp into a compact stompbox format and you get the core tone and extremely low noise level at almost half the size – and price! BP1 Compact and the original BP1 Bass Preamp sound very similar, yet each has a sonic flavour of its own. Which one you prefer comes down to taste and preference. We like to think if them as to distinct flavours of sonic greatness – and there is definitely a place for both. BP1 Compact adds that critical definition in the low-mid part of the sound, making your bass sit in the mix with ultimate definition and tons of dynamics. With the transformer-balanced, studio-quality DI, you will no longer have to use low-quality DI’s at venues that make your bass sound dull, two-dimensional and uninspiring. The FOH engineer will love your bass signal, and the crowd may not know why, but they’ll love the huge – yet firm and defined – low end that is the foundation the overall experience builds upon. But perhaps most important of all, you will have the bass tone of your dreams on the stage, ensuring that you can focus entirely on those solid grooves, tasty bass lines and simply making everyone else sound their best. This is a no-brainer pedal with Gain and Level controls. Simply plug your bass into BP1, trim the Gain and Level to fit your taste, and experience the mind-blowing tone this unit has to offer. In fact, we bet that once you have set it, you will just leave it on at all times, as it will simply enhance your core tone at the most fundamental level. We also added Tuner Out and a patch-point (send/return) in case you use additional stompboxes or other external equipment. The patch-point is placed after the input buffer – but before the preamp section. To make your gigging life even easier, we designed BP1 Compact to run on 12VDC – perfect for your pedalboard. - More photos to follow. £395 posted in original packaging and the brand new 12v dc adapter. Many thanks,

The Fallout Tribute at the top of the page - that's mine Stock D'Addario ETB92, which they describe as Medium Gauge, 50,65,85,105 - nice tension I find, figures are on the website; they do do a s/s set, same thicknesses I have tried both Status and Rotosounds previously, didn't like them, the Status were lifeless and the Rotos ring sharp on the initial attack before settling back to tune, really messed my ear up as a learner, I later found out from Scott Whitley its a known issue with some s/s strings -
What are you listening to right now?

Yes very wise words. However, knowing the gear I have out in my little studio means even on the days I have too much pain to get out of bed, I know for example I have the best strat style guitar I have ever played and a 0.5watt point to point hand wired amp and 8 inch hemp speaker in a cab I made myself, means I CAN get the best SRV guitar tone I have ever heard reproduced by anyone that isn’t SRV himself and it’s not gonna blow your eardrums inside out. I not boasting, I just saying that years of trawling through gear had led me to my holy grail of guitar tone and when I am ill, as I have been for the last week or so with a flare up of this stupid illness, I can think of my gear waiting for me and it makes me happy, so far from a fleeting impulse of happiness it is long lasting. I should have given a bass example but a lot of guitarists that are into SRV say it’s impossible to recreate his tone but it isn’t. Took me about 3 years of buying and selling stuff to find the right combination and also playing technique, and I always made a loss when selling cabs and amps but it has kept me happy, at least it stopped me topping myself, which has gotta be money well spent 😁

Hi Everyone - A big HELLO from California! I was involved in the bass community in the 80's & 90's as the former national sales manager for Trace Elliot and Status, manager of The Bass Centre in L.A. from '86-'93 & was the Trace Elliot and Hamer product specialist for the western U.S. from '93-'97. For the last few years I've been creating YouTube videos about rare Rickenbacker basses (the 4005 & 4002,) and recently posted the video "The 80's Bass Decade!" which is a comprehensive look at why the 80's decade was so special for bass players. Im glad to be here! Chris

The Bart’s probably did actually as I didn’t cycle or train as much. Never thought of that lol. You are right the omns is only 9.2k (I’ll check what mine is when I get a chance) but how the pickup reacts with the basses wood combo is more important. With chromes it’s extremely dynamic in touch and also where I pluck the string. My original pickups read around 7k. I’m playing through a genzler Magellan 350 with 10” array cab. Style is funk, rnb, fusion jazz and melodic soloing stuff. This bass + Bart’s loves flats and tape wounds. Melodic chord phrasing is dream like. My goal was to get a paul Jackson tone so I feel the 8s will help. I also possibly should get a bass that suits chord melodic soloing playing, seems like that is the direction I’m going. It could also be that the nickel strings I use aren’t complimenting. What I do know is that I like the tone of Bart pickups. Tone all the way off on the p bass isn’t muddy at all. Articulate, creamy highs even when you Dig in. Smooth smooth tone. I do think Bart 8cbp suit rounds.
