  1. Past hour
  2. OK, they're either there to cover routing or to try to make it look like your bass was made on the cheap by pretending they're covering routing. They're still an affront to, well, everything.
  3. I'd like to give this a new home Marc but, you're a good 8 hour return trip from me. I can arrange a courier to collect if you'd be able to find something to pack it in and give me dimensions and weight of the package. Let me know if that sounds doable and we can negotiate. Cheers, Ron.
  4. Didn’t see this thread before but it’s great to hear about all your goals. Good luck with them all! I want to make a jazz trio happen this year - I’ve got a good pianist lined up, who I also get on well with, but no leads on any half decent (but not so decent that they’re fully occupied doing paid gigs) drummers. I’ve heard you can sometimes find one under a big pile of hen’s teeth.
  5. Fender acoustic bass with gig bag. Its seen very light use and doesn't seem to have any marks on it. In built preamp with tuner. Truss rod in working order. Pick up in Ashby-de-la-Zouch or Hull area.
  6. Belatedly joining this at least for Tier 1. Can you do a sort of carbon offset deal where you get credit for selling bass gear? Thinking something like selling two basses gives you a pass on one bass purchase? Asking for a friend.
  7. They did an unlined fretless P a long time ago - I had one (ash or maple body, rosewood fingerboard) in the early 80s which would probably have been a 70s build. Bloody heavy too.
  8. I imported this from Slinger in the USA a few years ago as I had a rotator cuff injury and found playing very painful. A hiatus from gigging and a boat load of physio got me match-fit again, so I never got a chance to use this contraption in anger. A very novel idea for anyone suffering from shoulder/back pain whilst playing, as the weight of the bass is supported centrally by your core muscles rather than your (in my case) noodle arm. I seem to rememebr it was the best part of £60 after shipping/VAT/Duty etc. I'm after £30 collected from Margate or I can pop it in the post. Photos of the actual item to follow this evening.
  9. Yes my V10 is quite heavy too. Neck dive is also a bit of a problem. I am going to order an Ibanez headless fretless. I had a six string multi scale and that was superbly balanced and very light, not the best sounding bass ever, but good enough for when I am in too much pain to hold a heavy bass. I only sold it to bring sone cash in when I bought my Nathan East Yamaha. All my guitar/bass tools and spares are in a toolbox tucked away behind the sub somewhere. My 5 yo son often used to go through the box asking what each thing was. Pots and micrometers are his favourite, oh and spare amp valves (not near the sub), but when has the valves out i get fed up of saying careful and GENTLY!!!!!
  10. Odd that I was repeatedly told it was the glue 😉
  11. Cheers 😎😎 took them out for a gig last week, for a work out and I was as impressed as ever!
  12. Yeah they changed the tolex after all those many peeling cabs!
  13. As shown in the picture; original box and accessories included. I didn't use it much as I changed DB pickup and found this was no longer needed. There would have to be postage as well, depending on what the buyer would prefer, or collection.
  14. I think that was the SGR800 LE. I had the SGR1000 too.
  15. Theyve apparently just sold out of their first batch.... I'm going to assume it was a rather small batch, but still. Anything that fella touches turns to gold.
  16. But... non matching leatherette!
  17. Exactly what a 60’s bass should look like 👍
  18. Is that two different types of Tolex as well?
  19. Today
  20. IIRC this part of the Helix Stadium is still to be implemented, and the initial units have been released without this functionality.
  21. For sale, excellent condition. TWA Krytical Mass. Brassmaster style Fuzz with more than most! Huge sounding with plenty on tap. More tonal variations than other Brassmaster fuzzes in the market. Huge low end and gain on tap, all important clean blend and various 2 lpf's and a hpf for tones, choice of 3 position mids. Edge to add in some top end, bias to get those sputtering synth like sounds, phase inverter to take some low end out if gets too boomy, this can go loud! Web schpiel: Prepare for meltdown with the TWA KM-01 Krytical Mass®! Based on the coveted Maestro Bass Brassmaster, Krytical Mass® was born from exhaustive critical analysis into the inner workings of that Holy Grail device and the few noble attempts that have been made to clone it. Krytical Mass® spits out fat, formidable fuzz with a pronounced octave up as well as a more subtle octave down and a scorching, filter-like sweep on sustained notes. Muted notes will “kill” the fuzz with almost gate-like precision, yielding a super-tight, synth-like pulse that is simply addictive to play. Where other replicas tend to be harsh and sterile sounding, Krytical Mass® is able to capture the aggressive yet warm & organic edge of the original Brassmaster using a unique complement of EQ and voltage manipulation controls. One of the great mysteries of the Brassmaster is its unmarked transformer and how it was wound. Analysis suggests that this component may have actually been wired with negative polarity, so Krytical Mass® includes a switch to toggle between positive & negative phase wirings for additional tonal options. Another unique feature of Krytical Mass® is the ability to adjust the symmetry of the transformer to taste, accentuating either 2nd order harmonics for more lows or higher-order harmonics for more complex waveform content. Also on board are selectable HP, LP and BP filters with adjustable midrange to fine-tune Krytical Mass® to your particular tonal tastes. Fuzz sensitivity of Krytical Mass® can also be controlled via external EXP pedal for dynamic manipulation of the fuzz to create synth-like drive swells and other interesting effects.

  23. Isaac at Barefaced sent me a courier returns label yesterday, and the cab has been collected today by DPD. I have my fingers crossed for a swift turnaround, but I'll keep you posted. Rob
  24. Thanks mate, it is lovely, and I wish it was destined to be mine! Replied. Yeah - by far the best looking 69 Jazz I've seen. Just the right amount of "authentic" relic'ing! You can just tell it's been played in pubs and clubs all of its almost 60 years of life! Have edited the original post with some more info from the owner.
