My New Year Challenge - What 5 String Bass, Harley Benton or Squier?
Gizmo replied to Linus27's topic in General Discussion
I keep looking at the HB MV-5JB Daphne Blue....Thing is i find Jazz'es to be a bit unwieldy and i've always sold on any that i've owned in the past(quite quickly)...But for just over 200 beer tokens it seems rude not to buy one to try it out,....Im just wondering if i can hold off the new year boredom long enuff to see if some B-stock bargains pop up in the next week or so..... anyone tried these with a High C ? -

Most people will say the Classic Vibe is the better bass, but most people probably haven't even tried the 40th-Anniversary basses. I bought this one when they first came out and it's every bit as good as the CVs...I have to say the neck on this one is the best Squier neck made.

Last gig of 2025 and the first gig for 2026 with BLOCKBUSTARZ Glam band last night was another SOLD OUT gig for us at Airdrie WMC. 2yrs in a row at this venue which is rare at this club. 2 sets with a stop at 11:45 to 12:15 to bring in the bells in our traditional Scottish way. Dancing from the first song showed great promise for the night and we were not wrong. The floor was packed for a lot of the songs with dancers on every song. Great atmosphere the full night with a stream of requests in first set. I think we had a total of 6 to mention those celebrating anniversaries, birthdays etc. Best dancer of the night went to a guy who seemed to be on the floor from the start and even gave us his full Alvin Stardust impersonation and was rewarded at the end of the night with one of our T shirts. After midnight we went back on for our final 3 songs and had requests for more. but the club was closing. Loaded up the car and managed to get home for 2:30am, coffee and a biccy and then beddy by bo time knackered having been at the venue from 3:30pm it was a long day. Thought i would give the Godin Shifter PJ bass a wee run out and boy did it sound amazing thru the Handbox WB-100 / BF212. Nice deep tone with the sharp mids cutting thru the mix, it was the perfect tone IMHO of course. All in all a great night of party fun. Dave

Zen can't do it, they say sorry it outside our shipping zone to get it to their Warehouse i'll keep an eye on the Japanese market to see if one pops up with the sites they support. Let see if Nafiri will do surface shipping from either their reverb shop or their own site

Sounds good to me: 1) it's repairs 2) you engaged Jon's services last year, so it is considered 2025 business, doesn't matter if you actually pay for it this year. But: If the scope of works agreed in 2025 changes in 2026 to include any upgrades/additions, it's a fail.

Here we have my DBX DriveRack PX professional loudspeaker management processor with matching DBX reference microphone for sale. I am the second owner, and this has lived in a flightcase all its life alongside my mixing console. Condition is used, although the reference mic was new this year (2025) has never been used in anger. A great tool for those of us who mix live sound from stage side whilst playing. I’m only selling as I have now upgraded my bass bins to a matching pair to my tops so will be using the internal crossovers to cut down on the weight of gear I shlep to gigs. Because I am inherently lazy, I asked ChatGPT to describe the functionality and this is what it came up with, which sounds accurate to me based on my experience. “The DBX DriveRack PX is a professional loudspeaker management system that optimises live sound systems. It combines automatic room tuning, crossover control, EQ, dynamics, and feedback suppression in one rack-mount unit. Using the included DBXRTA-M measurement microphone, you can run auto-EQ and real-time analysis to tailor your speakers and subs for smooth, balanced frequency response in any venue. Other key features include configurable crossovers, delay alignment, compression/limiting, and feedback elimination, making it ideal for PA systems, bands, DJs, and event sound setups.” I’m looking for £300 for the DriveRack and reference mic, or £250 for the DriveRack and £50 for the microphone. Collection from Killingworth Newcastle upon Tyne, or delivery at the buyers cost and risk. Any questions, please ask! -

I was just thinking that technically I managed a tier 1 success last year and could probably do it again, but I don't think it counts. Once I'm able to play what I would like to play adequately enough and have an opportunity to do so then the GAS tends to evaporate. Plus, the only bass that would tempt me at present is one of those where if one has to ask the price then it's too much. Even a relatively cheap in comparison EUB upgrade is not justifiable. So, resisting bass gear is fairly easy at the moment. But, I suck at jazz guitar and no-one wants me to play it, so there's plenty of GAS still around.

Well 2025 was an epic failure as far as gear abstinence goes, partly fuelled by GAS and partly by medical necessity. I had and abdominal operation and was not allowed to lift more than 2.5Kg ( about 5.6lbs for Luddite’s and Americans). Then at the end of my convalescence, I buggered (medical term) my shoulder, hence the U Basses. As the shoulder improved a bit I went Short Scale. Basses, Fender Fullerton U Bass, later PX’d for Kala Solid Body U Bass Hartwood Delta 30” Bass. Total outlay £350 but eared £300 at gigs I could not have done with a 34”. Amps/Speakers Wharfedale Pro Typhon 8AXF x 2 Citronics Casa 10” Subs x 2 Two 1.2m poles Total outlay about £1200. Sold Mesa Subway £450. So the basses do not count, as they were a medical necessity and the speakers were for the band so cannot be counted. Based on my twisted logic, I made a £150 profit on bass gear this year, no scratch that, £25. I forgot the cost of the Fullerton. All in all my bass related expenditure was a small profit. Now I just have to figure out why my savings too a big hit🤔

That looks awesome, although your AI generated description puts me off - is the bass something that you've played and have some experience with? -
