MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe - Price Drop £70 posted

***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2024?
Mr_McBride replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
My best purchase was most definitely the SushBoxFX Neptunium (Noble DI clone in a small pedal). It's the pedal on the far left of the board. The 12ax7 tube adds so much to the tone. The board is currently configured for a passive p-bass. The Neptunium combined with the 12ax7 tube-based Slampegg Bee Pre (Ampeg b15-based preamp) is bloody brilliant. -

No probs here and they stock stuff you can’t buy in the UK. They are not the cheapest for everything but normally very competitive. -

Whereabouts in your signal chain do you put it?

The newest pedal on my board is the Empress Bass ParaEQ (the purple pedal):

That works well if the drummer looks at you. I asked a dep why he was fixated on the singer and he said ‘Cos he pays me’
-
Gear heads anodise a lot of bolt on goodies to their 'bikes and cars. As colour finishes go, anodising stands out without making ally parts look less metallic and more plastic-y.

So glad to hear it went well

If we get a dep drummer into my own band from time to time, we tend to streamline the set to focus on stuff that’s easy to get thru with me cueing him for any unusual stops / starts etc. If it’s just the occasional gig with someone stepping in to help us out, it’s probably not the time to debut some horribly complicated track. As ever, good onstage communication is a wonderful thing.

Got this through the post on Saturday - wow! Very impressed with it so far, really adds a little bit of magic to your tone - I had the mk1 a while ago but this is a pretty big upgrade on that - highly recommended

Paddy777 started following Fender Jazz 5 string - floppy B?
-
As said already a Tapered B string of the correct gauge (I used 135’s) worked great in making a B that sounded a bit flabby sound a whole lot better. I have a 35” Lakland jazz and the B is fantastic, and a 34.25” Mayones Jabba which again has a great B so I’m not sure scale length alone is everything, but I’ve had several Fender V’s and the B string has never really been “good” on any of them - tapered B string definitely fixed it somewhat, but I generally swerve Fender 5’s - they make fantastic passive 4 string basses, so they’re all I really look at from them now (unless I can play it first)

my last two purchases from them. 1, ordered something, should of been next day delivery, i waited nearly two weeks only to be told they were still waiting for an overdue stock to come in, so they were taking orders of stock they never had. i got a refund and closed my account. that was about 2 years ago. 2, last week i had to go back to them, and ordered a pair of beyer dt770 and a pair of superlux hd660. the beyers were fine as they came in a sealed tab box The superlux though, they sent me a B stock pair with the box torn, inside the box was untidy like it had all been just chucked back in and obvious signs of ware ! they refunded the superlux right away. so, lost faith. thought id try again. and now lost faith for the last time. -

Up for sale is an absolutely mint condition Broughton Carina Phaser. I bought it on here a few months ago from the original owner who had only had it out of the box once before putting it up for sale to go towards wedding funds. It's then lived in its box in a drawer at my house ever since, as I really have no need for a Phaser, as much as I love the sound - which is absolutely LUSH! Absolutely brand spanking new, no velcro, original box (which I have labelled with a sharpie as it was just completely blank) £150 + postage, or can meet/be picked up in Ickenham/London.

Shamshoo replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Some of my best finds have actually been second-hand, picked up a Fender Jazz bass earlier this year that plays way above what I paid for it. Worst was a budget pedal that died after two gigs.
