My frends really awful band - advice needed

I’ve a bunch of mates who are in a band that aren’t that great, but they get really good audiences when they play so people like them. -

To be fair, any store could have ordered those. Just take a look at their Facebook page, all the lovely custom shop instruments pictured there are ordered by (or through) dealers, that are named in the posts. It's true they had a number of "premier dealers" though, of which Sweetwater is one. And I always used to see UpFront Guitars mentioned a lot in posts with tasteful custom orders!

Likewise, when I joined Facebook my employers had a 'no social media' policy so I used a fake name, then as I promoted our band my fake name sort of became the name people know me as.

Time has come to let go of this great bass rig. Had this for gigs but only got through one before the band had issues again. If I play again will be going to a power amp/modelling pedal and In ear setup as most of the places I can practice are quiet or have cabs available. Head was a purchase through Ashdown as a last chance with the warranty etc it has some dents scratches on it but all works great and is a powerful great sounding beast. I love Ashdown have had many over the years ABMs/CTMs/LBs this one is brilliant has all you expect from an ABM a professional level amp. 600w 9 band Eq Dual UV for input and output Speakon outs Foot switch option (not included) Size 135mm x 474mm x 320mm (£400 Ono collection preferably but could post at cost) Markbass MB58R 104 PURE Bass Cab 4ohm 800watt version This is a light exceptionally portable bass cab With great bass response which is surprising after you have carried it in. Has an adjustable tweeter and is just a great cab. Weight is around 16kg so an easy one person lift. Sounds great is great would keep it but is just taking up spare room space. Crossover Frequency: 3.5 Khz Frequency Response: 40hz to 20khz Sensitivity Db Spl: 103 Db Impedance: 4 Ohms Reflex: Rear 578mm x 600mm x 470mm (£500 on its own but collection only on the cab as wouldn't have a box etc) Any questions feel free to ask. Would consider a Nice Jap Pbass or a PJ of some sort as a trade /part trade

Apparently, the Modulus made early necks were a myth (rrp of a modulus neck was almost as much as the rrp of the G Bass), and they are not actually carbon necks as marketed, they have a maple core with a carbon wrap. Still cracking basses for the money of course, but really interesting marketing choice from Peavey; the manual literally says it's a Carbon Graphite neck with no mention of it being mostly wood. Crazy but there you go. Still want it!

When I was 20, I joined a band where everyone had stage names. I was told I had to have one so I just kept my first name and used my middle name as my surname. After that band, I vowed to use my real name and have done for the last 30yrs+. My middle name is James and I thought with Brian James, Tony James, Steve James, Wendy James etc, it was suitably rock n roll sounding. Changing my first name always seemed silly as I have never had a nickname or really been called by my surname so always wanted just to be known by my first name.

I am selling this cool Darkglass Alpha Omega pedal. I don't think it needs much introduction but here are the specs: https://www.darkglass.com/en-gb/products/ao As a huge Karnivool fan, I had to buy it. However, I clearly don't have Jon Stockman's skills 😉 The pedal is in great condition and comes with all the usual DG goodies. There is some velco at the bottom of the pedal (in the four corners). Here is the official sales ad when I bought it earlier this year: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/510669-sold-darkglass-alpha-omega/#comment-5446017 As you can see, I have priced it to sell. I am not interested in any trades as I need the funds for our never ending house renovation project. Shipping will cost extra and the exact amount will depend on the kind of courier you prefer (e.g., Evri will be cheaper than FedEx) and the level of insurance (e.g., none or fully insured).

Squier 6 String Jazz, so who’s tempted at this price?
Jimryan replied to jimbobothy's topic in Bass Guitars
I’ve had one of these since release and I really like it. Slowly been modifying and I’m happy with the result so far. First thing I did was swap out the tuners for hipshot ultralites and the bridge for a cheap replacement one in a brass finish. Added some Dunlop straplocks to match all my other basses and opted for some optima strings. Next up was the John East preamp after spotting it for sale on here. Finally is the homemade scratch plate, custom pickup cover and a bit of self-adhesive vinyl to give the matching headstock look. Still toying with changing the pickups but for now, all I need is a band to play it with. -

My friends band is pretty rough but they're so convinced they're amazing I can't say anything. Lovely bunch of people and I'll go and see them occasionally but usually, not many people show up -

Bought some hipshot tuners off Lozz, which was also my first proper interaction, as well as transaction on Basschat! Any uncertainty I may have had about using the marketplace on here completely evaporated - Lozz was the image of professional: quick to respond, specific on details, sent photos of the post office receipt... Truly no nonsense transaction and a great ambassador for Basschat. Thanks again mate 🍻

The machineheads on the Greco stick out more than the original. Plus there is a small pinstripe by the bin ding as well.

Bought a lovely Hipshot bridge from Loz, he comes highly recommended! Great communication throughout the transaction, we had a good moan about living either side of the Pennines while we were at it. He pinged over the tracking number and it came carefully packaged up and in impeccable condition, as advertised! Thanks again mate 🍻

I bought some machine heads from Dave, really excellent seller. I had a question about the exact model they were to make sure I had the right dimensions, within hours I had links to the Schaller website with the official diagrams on them! He had it posted the next working day and pinged the tracking number over. They were all carefully packaged up and in impeccable condition, as advertised. Highly recommend, thanks again mate 👍
