    Lovely circa 87 MIJ 57 Reissue P Bass in Candy Apple Red. £950 with hard case. PB57-55 I think. Maple neck. E serial number, Fujigen Gakki-made. It's a lovely bass, I've just never really got on with the neck shape. Some oxidation on metalware and some road dinks - see pics - but in great condition/playability. Comes with after-market heavy(!) duty case. I'd prefer collection only (west London) as it's so heavy (due to the case), but open to discussing couriers.

    🤣 that's why I had to make it my main bass, so it would force me to get comfortable with it! I must say though, the thin flat neck really makes a difference to the ease of play. I would love to try the 4 string version for comparison

    Have to wonder how well this would work with a bass...has anybody here tried one? Love the idea but also hard to imagine how this would sound...now I need to know! 🤣

    I've taken up folks' suggestion to raise this with A&H, and they have been supportive so far and allowed me to make a warranty claim with Audio Technica, notwithstanding the fact that it is outside the 12 month warranty period. Very reassuring customer service by them so far!

    Excellent. I have one of the full size Orchid DI boxes (with a latching mute) and am also impressed. Thanks for posting this - it makes me realise that I don't need to spend loads on a high-end DI / preamp (even if I want to!)
  13. Phil Starr started following Why weak wattage?
  14. Phil Starr
    First of all not all bands are rock bands, some may not even have a drummer, people who play quieter genres of music still need an amplifier if they play electric bass. Secondly we don't all use our amps to fill a room with sound. In my current band the bass amp is just a monitor for the band. The audience hear my bass through the PA. My bass amp only needs to fill the stage and if it is too loud it ends up going through the vocal mics and distorts the sound for the audience. If you are so loud that only a 500W amp will do then your band probably sounds quite poor however well you play because of the volume in the vocal mics. Finally you need to take account of the range of speakers we all use. A 100W amp through a 102db/W is going to be louder than a 300W amp through a 96db/W speaker. Like most people who are commenting I carry a 200/130W micro amp as a backup to my 500/300W amp but I tend to use the smaller amp almost all of the time as it is more than loud enough for the gigs I do.

    That's a steal

    It's a bit academic nowadays, as watts have become cheaper and more plentiful. As others point out, the difference between 50 and 500 watts is only around twice the volume (depending on speaker efficiency, eq choices, etc). And that's before you get into the minefield that is wattage, how much difference quoted/claimed figures actually make and so on. Class D has meant high powered amps are small and light, so there is no longer a need to have large and smaller amps. I use either of my heads (700w or 1000w claimed) for practice and small gigs with one or two cabs and keep the volume down. If I need to make more noise, I simply add more cabs and turn up the wick.

    New one on the bench which is a slow time build and this might divide opinion… 😅 This ziricote top has just been glued up and is to be attached to a sapele body, after which it’ll become a MM StingRay-style build. Except… it’s getting a Jazz bass neck. Because why not. I’ve always liked the StingRay pickup position and punch, but I’m also a Jazz neck tragic, so this feels like a perfectly reasonable life choice rather than a cry for help. Before I commit to routing, I’d love some pickup wisdom from the hive mind: • Classic StingRay vibe vs something a bit more modern? • Alnico vs ceramic? • Any particular MM pickups that play especially nicely with warmer woods like sapele/ziricote? Nordstrand, Aguilar, Delano, Seymour Duncan, Wizard, home-wound madness — all suggestions welcome. Bonus points if you’ve tried an MM + Jazz neck combo and lived to tell the tale. Cheers all👍🏼

    You are not alone, they look great. Definitely tones down the bling factor.

    Absolutely fantastic amps. Wanted one for years after playing through one at a multi band line up gig years ago, but they always came up at the wrong time. When I did finally get my hands on one, it was even better than I remembered. Glwts

    Hi Terry Hope you don't mind me asking. Just picking up on this suggestion you posted a few days ago, I've stumbled across a black TRB1005J being advertised fairly local (just a 300 mile round trip which for Cornwall is considered as local 😂). The vendor has confessed he's selling because he can't get on with the flat fret board. I've come across this watching and reading on line reviews, sometimes this has attracted a fair bit of criticism. Did you find it a bit hard to get on with, or is it nothing really too much to worry about? I've never even seen a TRB let alone played one but I somehow feel your suggestion to consider getting one could be a good shout. I bought a TRBX605 brand new from Yamaha a couple of years ago but TBH I was a bit disappointed (and I'm a very big Yammie fan) and sold it on. Don't recall it having a flat fret board though. Thanks in anticipation Steve

    Still only done that 1 gig in 2023 and literally only brought out when I need to learn a new song for the band which isn't that often.
  29. Delberthot
    There was a US made 50th anniversary jazz bass in 2010 that looks very similar to this one. I wonder if that's why they released this in 2010 to coincide with the 50th anniversary

    Funny story. I depped in one of Nick Jennisons band projects and the other guitarist in the band gave me a set list to learn in 3-4 days (no rehearsal). I turned up to the gig to find there was also a dep drummer (3-4 days with the song list, no rehearsal); introductions done we sound checked and had 30 mins till gig start. At this point the drummer and I were chatting about the songs... and it dawned on us that Nick had given the drummer a different set of songs from my list! LOL We winged our way through it but when Nick was launching into a Led Zeppelin riff and you are staring around thinking 'I've never played this in my life', it was character building.
