  2. And another lateral thinking thought... Can the functions you want, be accessed from a computer running the editor program attached to the X32? If so you should be able to use something like an AirTurn pedal to control the editor program which in turn controls the X32. If the functions in the editor program doesn't have the necessary keyboard shortcuts you may need an additional utility to produce some. On the Mac I can recommend Keyboard Maestro I use this with an AirTurn for controlling our backing track functions. I'm sure there's something similar available for Windows. Of course Dad3353's suggestion of an external delay device that has the required functions is probably a far simpler solution.
  3. Oi! There’s only one ‘O them round ‘ere.
  4. Here is my 'bitzer' precision. It was originally built from a sunburst alder Japanese body and maple/ebony fretless neck from Brandoni guitars about 20ish years ago. I have changed hardware over the years, and since a major rebuild where I replaced the neck a few weeks ago, the only parts that remain from my original build are the body, strap buttons, and the neckplate & gasket. The parts that make it up are: Brandoni MIJ sunburst body (suspiciously similar to the body on the 1990 CIJ '62 reissue precision I used to own) Fender maple/maple Jazz to Precision conversion neck (the fretwork was spot-on so no additional levelling/crowning etc was required) Hipshot HB7 lollipop tuners (The neck was ready drilled for this size of tuners, so I didn't use the HB2 set from the fretless neck) Nickel plated String retainer from Armstrong music 'AliExpress' 4-ply aged pearloid pickguard (Identical to guards costing several times as much and a perfect fit — I just needed to drill a second hole for the thumb rest) Fender HiMass bridge (with chrome plated brass saddles) Fender Thumb rest Fender Strap buttons (with 'Grolsch' strap blocks) Fender 'F' neckplate with black gasket EMG Geezer Butler pickup & loom Callaghan late 50's style heavy knurled nickel plated knobs (£40 & worth every penny!) Ernie Ball 2815 Cobalt Flatwounds 40-60-70-95 I am using a Levys brown suede strap with this bass. The neck came fitted with a nut which required the slots to be cut much deeper and shaped. I was originally going to attempt this myself, but as I have do not pocess the tools, expertise, or good eyesight needed, I took the bass to the Gallery in Camden where John did a fantastic job for just £40. I'm really pleased with this bass. The jazz-width neck and perfect setup makes it almost play itself, and the combination of the EMG GZR & the Cobalt flats make it sound absolutely huge.
  5. On the other hand, it should be possible, and doubtless easier, to route an Aux Send/Return to an external delay unit that has the required on/off and tap-tempo features.
  6. Get to it my friend! Don't let we Canucks down! LOL
  7. Dan Coggins is currently taking on repairs again, Oxfordshire based. Does valve amps mainly, and transistor/ fet ones, but not really the digital stuff. Encyclopaedic knowledge! He's great with analogue pedals too, having been the designer of the legendary Lovetone pedals... Email [email protected] No affiliation, just a happy customer and mate!
  8. Nice double humbucker version of the Sub4 with some little tweaks (or major as the pre amp is rather nice). Comes with a rosewood neck, presented in an unmarked metallic blue. So mods.. As with my other Sub2 listing, i dont like the cheap looking bridge on the Sub4 series, so this has been upgraded to the pre 2017 EB stingray version. 2 band JOHN EAST pre amp. Nuff said. its the dog danglies and unobtainium at the moment. Hipshot detuner, most excellent if you are into rage against the machine detuning mid gig. I know i have done it and it sounds great. Really stable and repeatable to use. Artec pickups. I tried the stocks and a few other i have laying around and the artecs are a really good match for the JH pre. Not too hot and well voiced. Carbon fibre style car wrapped scratchplate (over the original plain white) Its fully set up, in as new condition, not a boat anchor but not silly Glarry light either, around 9 lbs, perfect weight for longs gigs. I have gigged this bass a number of times and its a great gig ready instrument. New these are £499 so priced keenly bearing in mind there are £200+ mods on board. Can ship at buyers expense (insured), meetup anywhere nearish to the M25. or pickup/try out, Rochester, Kent
  9. Like mine and ill like yours.........🤔
  10. Fender at its best. I don't remember ever seeing a passive Fender PJ before.

  14. Hi, I wondered if anyone could confirm the wood that my bow is made from. I don't think it is brazilwood as it is too light weight, is it pernambuco or is it something else? Thank you in advance! Steve

  16. Ive managed to find a guitar box, so delivery is now an option
  17. Pictures or it didn't happen!
  18. Ditch the tort-ure scratchplate? Seriously though if my credit cards weren't giving me daily manxiety i would snatch you arm off, it's a stunning bass.
  19. One final bit of lateral thinking for accessing tap-tempo via MIDI. If the delay time can be synchronised to MIDI clock or MTC then it might be possible to use a device that can transmit MIDI clock or MTC, that has its own tap tempo footswitch, to use the MIDI timing information to control the delay time on the X32.
  20. In this video you can see him playing a Yamaha. He also seems to be playing with a variation on the Jamerson hook. I think this is the only video of him playing bass, I'm wondering if he learnt partially from sitting in sessions with Joe Sample where he would have seen Jamerson and maybe he picked it up from him? Look closely at his fingers at 3:54. Video here
  21. Indeed my '63 Precision does sound wonderful through my Ampeg!
  22. There's some great stuff in here, but I get what you mean about the mix, it's tilted towards the treble too much, ensnare and cymbals, and the bass is somewhat missing. I know what it's like hammering it to get it done to the deadline and losing some perspective along the way. Your stuff usually sounds amazingly well produced! Still voted for it all the same!
  23. That's a gorgeous bass!! I'd happily swap necks with my Candian PJ 🙂

  26. Here I am selling a medium scale (32") acoustic bass by Aria. Its a tasteful beast with a stained open pore style finish with bronze stained binding (compliments the bronze string) Comes with an onboard pre amp and tuner, so literally a plug and play situation. In as new condition. I love acoustic bass, but never seem to have time to setlle with them as my gigging schedule is busy. so pretty much unplayed and no fretboard wear. Not convinced shipping is a good idea. I have a box by not convinced the postal services would handle it very well.. Happy to discuss, or meet up (home counties) or pickup (free coffee! and nosey labrador).
