    Go into "My Attachments". Open the particular image.png that you want to rename (I use Irfanview) and save it as a named file (preferably a .jpg), resized if desired. Then look at the right-hand side of the "My Attachments" page, open the post that the image is in by clicking on it, and edit it - replace image.png with the named file, then remove that particular image.png. A bit laborious but you get it done in the end.

    The bum - puckering drilling done today in @HeadlessBassist graphite neck sourced from @Kiwi. My advice for anyone doing this for their own neck…..pillar drill set at slowest speed, new sharp cobalt drill bit which was 9.5mm to fit the supplied threaded inserts. I did some test holes into scrap wood to get the drill size and technique. Make sure the drill bit doesn’t get hot and clear the swarf regularly during drilling as this can generate heat. Holes are slightly chamfered/countersunk so the inserts are under the neck surface to make the joint completely flat. The machine screws supplied with the neck are M5 but are torx headed. A couple of these rounded off so I am replacing with M5 x 40mm Philips head. Tuner mounting screws and tree string screw should also be machine screws and into inserts.

    I know exactly what you mean. There’s a way of designing a tube based preamp in conjunction with transformers which just sits right, sounds right and feels right to play. For many of us a compressor adds to that but at its fundamental core tone there’s a magic from transformers which is more present, deeply analogue and has a saturation and fatness which is very different to tubes. I’ve checked out the United D.I. on you tube and it’s a solid unit. We really should meet up and chat tone some day 🙂 The BR15 does a lovely thing but it’s not everyone’s ideal sound. It’s a classic sound but quite specific. I respect your choice and applaud it!

    Well, I just made myself unpopular. Got excited and pushed the wee Joyo to the max, got an angry text from Mrs. Neepheid who was upstairs having a nap. Whoops, this little amp is a bit more pokey than I first thought.

    The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm

    Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!

    The Zoo was the first song I learned to play all the way through on bass. Saw them at least once at Hammersmith. RIP sir

    I think it's a bit of a shame that the Octamizer has gone digital. You can get decent digital octave up/down (and other features like semitones) in most multi-fx, but the analogue Octamizer with the tilt EQ on the clean is I think unique. Octavers are one of the only effects that there really does seem to be a noticeable difference in tone between analogue and digital.

    With my thanks going to @HeadlessBassist for agreeing to collect this from Rotherham and meet me at Membury services (mentioned positively in the 2019 Gavin and Stacey here is a 1981 Aria TSB 550. I have only ever seen one other fretless one of these in this colour and it belonged to Frank Allen from The Searchers. Undergoing some TLC as the truss rod is seized atm So 3 in 1 oil into it and fingers crossed I can sort it 32 inch scale and MB 3 pickup

    And I wish I could find a 5 string black one for £420. Cheapest I've ever seen in such a good condition as yours is £500 P.S. Such a shame Cort only make 'em in the two colours. I think they've missed a trick there

    I think I ultimately couldn't get on with the mid focused sound and the 1x15" cab SIM. The build quality and functionality is up there with the very best studio equipment and the sound was fantastic if you wanted the B15 experience. I've come to the conclusion that my sound is full range and clean. IMHO the Rheingold preamp with a vintage transformer Di just does it for me.

    Sounds intriguing however I still have a 1972 Fender Precision (4 string in boring old traditional sunburst) my Grandfather bought for me in 1973 so not really after another Precision. That red P5 is a real looker though 😍

    Lovely looking basses, shame they're 4s not 5s (not surprising as they're late 70s when 5-string basses were yet to become established).

  21. bluetinfloor started following Rickenbacker 4003S Satin Autumn Glo
  22. bluetinfloor
    Bought this 4003S ltd edition new from my local music shop in Morecambe last year. 2025 model and the Satin Autumn Glo is a UK/Europe only version. Recent purchase of a Custom Shop P Bass necessitates sale... I would grade this basically "as new"... fitted with Pyramid flats and set up by Promenade Music, I have played it for less than an hour. Priced at £2375 Comes with everything as new including original unused strings and I also bought some Tone/Volume marked knobs from Ricky Sounds which will come with it and these are shown in one of the photos, but it wears its original cooker knobs. Collection preferred from Morecambe or could meet Carlisle to Manchester M6 corridor. Happy to use a courier at buyer cost. Thanks

    Great bit of kit this and I love mine. You won't be disappointed if you're after some EQ, Gain and Compression. GLWTS lapolpora

    I would really like the ability to rename stored attachements on here. Because sometimes (OK, quite often) I'm a lazy bugger and just paste in something i've seen online, and have 20 pages of attachments called "Image.png", whoops!

    I had a black Hohner Professional B bass (4 string - same as the Jack but with a headstock). Very nice sounding and easy neck to navigate. Active had stopped working so mine was Passive only (a common fault but it was 35 years old !) Sold it just before Christmas as I'm selling off nearly all of my 4 strings basses.

    It would be handy if you did have that superpower though. We could deploy you every time Fender threatened to bring out another pointless variation on their limited themes, or anybody said they'd be bringing out another bloody relic.

    Octamizer deluxe is digital; the ad copy says “powered by Aguilar’s new DSP engine”.
  30. artemis started following Barefaced Super Compact silver cloth grill 8ohm £550
  31. artemis
    Amazing cab, super quick, great clarity, stupidly light and very good looking. Comes with Barefaced cover, everything is in excellent condition. One light scratch on the cab pictured. Selling as I'm switching to a single 4-ohm cab and don't have space for both. Collection only, for now. Thanks for looking.

    I have two mint condition pedals for sale. 1. Boss BC 1 X - £130 Excellent optical compressor which smoothes out your bass tone nicely. Surplus to requirements as I have a superb compressor built into my AER combo. 2. Creation Audio Labs Funkulator - £139. Boutique US made pedal which is really well demonstrated by Ed Friedland in the video below. Both pedals are only a few weeks old and look brand new. Supplied with original boxes. Any questions please get in touch.
