  1. Past hour
  2. Mmm…if you travelled to Dorset , I’d be in trouble I think . I have a Warwick 1996 corvette which I did list for sale , and kept changing my mind . It would have sold if I posted , and you seem to have the same problem . I’ve got a craving for the low B again. Anyway …Bump! 😀
  3. A solid workhorse bass that wont let you down, in near perfect condition, features a 5 piece maple/nato bolt on neck, 45 degree string through body design, passive split coil and single bar pickups, with toggle switch tone and volume controls.

  4. I think the lines are in the wrong place on mine
  5. It’s why I can’t play lined fretless 😂
  6. Many years ago at rehearsals with one band, I used to switch off the guitarist's fuzz box to get him to play stuff right and not hide the mistakes.
  7. True - if your amp isn't trying to boost inaudible low frequencies, then it won't clip unnecessarily and can be more efficient in amplifying useful frequencies and of course, you are protecting your speakers from those frequencies.
  8. Yeah me too, at least this way I can use the bridge as an excuse
  9. Watching that with interest, Martin Sims did one for me about 10 years back and it was sublime, I'm thinking of having another done but Martin isn't doing that stuff any more so looking at alternatives
  10. I wish I was so adept at fretless intonation that it mattered
  11. I saw that advertised when I took my daughter to see the Smashing Pumpkins at Gunnersbury on Sunday. I’d love to see Khruangbin but the cost of another trip to the big smoke is too much at the moment 😔
  12. This - and also I view my HPF as protecting amps/speakers, or at least improving their longevity.
  13. In a not unfamiliar (to Basschat members) and irresistible gravitational field kinda way, this body found its way to Beedster Towers, and is imminently going to become a rather unique fretless..........
  14. Closed On Sunday - Kanye West
  15. My homemade pedal board with built-in power supply. The perspective is a bit skewed as all the pedals are level with or inside the edges of the pedal board. For anyone that knows the mic mechanic, I don't use those settings. Just for info, the power is from two 550mA discrete switch mode power supplies. The IEC input is on the right-hand side. The two left-hand power sockets to the Zoom and the Thomann wireless system are connected to one power supply, and right-hand sockets supply the Mic Mechanic with one socket spare. I designed it that ways as on the usual cheap power supplies, there is noise induced from the Mic Mechanic to the Zoom.
  16. Good point! It's a bass...... guitar! Not a double bass and part of the violin family.... it's a guitar, own it and be proud!
  17. This is the correct answer. The one in the classifieds.
  18. Yeah, that was one of the reasons I returned the new one I bought. You needed to buy the control processor just to get a down sweep. PastFX do an excellent 101 clone in a normal-sized enclosure with solid build quality so I’m not as interested in this particular Behringer version, though I’m sure it’ll be good.
  19. Audere 3 Band pre in as new condition, installed only for a brief time but reverted back to passive , price to include UK delivery Data from the site Controls Volume Mid Tone Control / Pickup Balance with center detents Treble / Bass Tone Controls with center detents LED Battery Meter Output Jack Features True organic sound with superb string touch response. Active Balance system expands the useful pickup mixing combinations. Active Tone controls have a flat frequency response in the center detents and support both subtle and more extreme sculpting. Supports all types of pickups and includes independent 0-10 dB gain adjustments for mixed pickup configurations. LED Battery Meter informs you of your batteries charge condition. Easy to install in a standard Jazz Bass body with simple hand tools - no wood modifications or battery box needed. Battery box is not required but can be used if present. We designed our unique electronic circuits using high quality industrial components. We build our surface mount circuit boards in house and assemble the preamps in South Beach, Oregon, USA.
  20. No, it really wouldn't be interesting in a situation like a Bass Bash. The Thumpinator filters out frequencies below 25Hz, which you can't hear, but the amp still tries to boost. If you are trying to A/B a bass with or without a Thumpinator, in a room at a normal volume, then you will not be able to hear any difference. But if you are putting the bass through a PA in a large room with a wooden floor, brick walls and a high ceiling, then a HPF stops the sub-bass frequencies (that are too low for you to hear anyway) from bouncing around causing havoc with the overall sound. https://sfxsound.co.uk/microthumpinator/
  21. I still have nightmares about the time I gigged in lycra cycle shorts. WTF was I thinking 😂
  22. OK - the fretless neck is adjusted and the action/intonation is set. It plays beautifully - amazingly the intonation is pretty spot on - I can't get it exact because of the shared saddle arrangement, but the new Albridge will sort that. However, I will install that last, if I need to - I quite like the original bridge, so given the inaccuracy of my fretting, it might not need to be perfect. We'll wait and see. Along with the wiring harness, one other job is to correct the slight slant of the neck pickup. There's room under the pickguard to move the pickup by a few degrees, but doing so will necessitate cutting the scratchplate a little to make it fit. What I'd like to do is fit a bezel around the neck pickup, using w/b/w pickguard material in a rectangle, to go around the J pickup and hide the gaps left by the old position. I wondered if anyone on BC has the skills/time to make this, otherwise I could try a pickguard website (I have used tinyTone before with great results) It just wants to be like this, around a dimarzio J pickup
