  1. Past hour
  2. Bought new from GAK a couple of years ago, un gigged and little use, strung with d'addario chrome flats and fitted with East J retro circuit . Tried out in the Brighton shop against some higher end jazz basses and it was a lot better than some twice the price or more. Fender details Tap into that classic Jazz Bass sound Equipped with two single coil Fender Jazz bass pickups, this guitar offers all of the clarity and punch that you would want out of a bass and more. Melt into the mix with grumbling lows, crisp mids and open highs that produce a truly unique tone that has been reimagined through decades of Fender innovation – and accessed by dozens of legendary bass guitarists. The innovative wiring and magnets within these pickups provide for an expressive voice that is extremely well-defined and responds to the dynamics of your playing, no matter what your style is. Industry standard craftmanship This Squier Jazz Bass’ body is crafted from poplar, delivering a high frequency response as well as an overall light tonal contribution with sparkling highs. Poplar is a soft tonewood, therefore it offers a mellowed sound with warm lows to juxtapose the pick ups and create a perfect harmonic balance. The guitar itself is also lightweight thanks to the selection of poplar wood, providing a comfortable experience that can carry you all the way through the night With a maple constructed neck, you’ll be guaranteed a bright sound with plenty of twang, as well as excellent levels of resonance and sustain. Paired with a laurel fingerboard which will offer a smooth playability and high-quality physical feel beneath your fingertips in addition to a glorious amount of tonal warmth and depth. What’s more, the locking bridge works with the tuning pegs to help you stay in tune for longer, no matter how intense things get A definitive bass look So often described as the first choice for many bassists across the globe, this retro inspired aesthetic will have you standing out in any crowd. The space-age metallic blue body and matching headstock blends seamlessly with the exposed wood of the neck, as well as the cream pickguard, to achieve a timeless visual appearance. Specifications: Body & Bridge: Body: Poplar Body Finish: Dark Metallic Red Bridge: 4-Saddle Standard Neck: Number of Frets: 20 Fret Size: Narrow Tall Position Inlays: Cream Dots Fingerboard Radius: 12" Fingerboard: Indian Laurel Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Natural Satin Nut Width: 38.1mm Scale Length: 34" Hardware & Electronics: Pickup Configuration: SS Bridge Pickup: Ceramic Single Coil Jazz Bass Neck Pickup: Ceramic Single Coil Jazz Bass Controls: Volume x2, Master Tone Hardware: Chrome Tuning Machines: Standard Open-Gear Strings: NPS .045-.105 Gauges
  3. To be fair I think you're right. I'm pretty sure they only introduced the 4 ohm version a couple of years ago and made the 4 and 8 ohm versions the standard options since then but will still do a 2 ohm version on request
  4. Any need for that ? 🙄 x
  5. I was told the exact same thing on Reddit. Maybe the Seymour Duncan SPB1 is a really noisy pickup. Or maybe I just got unlucky with this one... I thought about maybe swapping it for an SPB4, but I like the sound of the SPB1 😢
  6. Yes. I'm trying several forums because I can't find a definitive solution.
  7. Re-arrange… wood got i’ve
  8. Today
  9. You can tell her that I think that looks really cute. Lady I know would love one of those
  10. Squier Classic Vibe 60s Mustang bass All specs listed here: https://uk.fender.com/products/classic-vibe-60s-mustang-bass A previous owner added a Fender decal. A cream pearl pickguard (from ebay's earlpilanz) has been installed; the original tort is included too. Strings are the Mustang-specific 43-104 La Bella Deep Talkin' flats, and I'll also include some roundwounds. If you don't want the La Bella flats, I'll knock off £20. Truss rod working, and the relief and intonation have been set. Weight: my kitchen scales say 3.86kg (8lb 8oz). £280 collected from Bristol, or £295 posted within UK.
  11. Interesting point which I'd not really given any thought to: a low male can often get comfortable down to a b1 = 61 Hz. My ignorance, but why would it matter if that was being handled by the sub(s) rather than the tops?
  12. Probably to have as a 4ohm pair. When I’ve used mine together they are much more than the sum of their parts 🙂
  13. As far as I know this is a original example. My knowledge is limited, so please feel free to correct me if necessary. (Astrays & thumb rest probably not) It weighs in at 11lb which is too much now in my advancing years but it sounds immense and is a pleasure to play with the 'A' neck if that floats your boat. Check out the photos,. I can ship in a hard case including UK postage.
  14. Nice rig! My teenage wishlist was a TE rig (very similar to yours) but with a Corvette instead of a Streamer. These days it’s Ampeg and Fretless Jazz, but I’ve always wondered…
  15. And for size comparison: next to a Sire U5 short scale fretless. This is one dinky medium scale bass!
  16. Richard Henry has posted what appears to be a very nice clean looking '72 Precision tonight. I've known Richard for more than 30 years, and in my opinion, he is one of the good guys. I'm going to let one of you guys enquire on the price.... https://www.instagram.com/richardhenryguitars?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=NDd5bHgxbnZ3MzJu
  17. Sorry, now gone. Cheers
  18. I dep regularly for various bands on both bass and drums (not at the same time!). I usually get whatever the regular guy gets - occasionally if I’ve had to travel further I might get a contribution to petrol, but that’s about it. Most of mine are covers bands so getting the tunes down is reasonably straightforward. Most bands I play with want at least one run through because they all do the standard covers band tunes in a different way. For example, one used backing tracks but the versions were different to the originals, so had I just been going straight in, that would have been quite the shock. I don’t generally want lots of rehearsals though - that’s mainly why I like depping so much. I’m not a pro by any standard, but I’m reasonably capable and reliable, and that’s what’s got me regular dep gigs.
  19. Deps are common place in the function world but you’re looking at players used to individual fees of £200-300 (or more). I don’t know any decent players who would look at a 30 song set for £80 as a one-off, I certainly wouldn’t. But for a friend where there is potential for repeat local work etc you might have a chance of attracting someone.
  20. Eventually managed to shrink this to less than 175 KB.
  21. Fender Tone Stack, no? Like an Alembic Preamp. But with rocket power bolted on.
  22. Well that was interesting! A quiet rehearsal! A drummer I haven't met before who put a towel over the snare. I got to refine my basslines for about eight originals. We jammed a few things, including me and the guitarist (Daz the daffodil) trying to play and sing Child in Time 😱 Aside from that, quite a chilled evening. I even had go with a pick.* *It seems no-one calls them plectrums any more.
  23. Yeah !!!
