    In the last 35 years I bought a total of 3 basses that I tried before parting with my cash. The fact that I don't own any of them now, but do own 3 basses that I bought on-line either direct from the manufacturer or off eBay without being able to play them first should say something. IME it is impossible to make a proper decision about the suitability of an instrument until you have put it to its intended use. If you play in a band that means at least one rehearsal and ideally one gig.

    Ain't it the truth. Ruins your bass too, all that nonsense. Mine get more dog-eared every gig.

    Jaco's bass part to the tune 'When It Was Now' from the 1982 Weather Report album, 'Weather Report'. Not a great record for Pastorius aficionados but it has it's moments. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/when-it-was-now-weather-report/

    What’s it like with double bass?

    As @HeadlessBassist alludes to above, it depends on your own attitude to risk. I have bought basses unseen, but only from this forum and from people who have good feedback. In your position I think I’d put a Wanted add on Basschat and stipulate that you need to be able to collect/take delivery or meet-up. Good luck.

    I only just got a stingray, a HH 5-string (2017 IIRC) with the 3-band. I was impressed that the Q wasn't ridiculous - there's so many preamps out there with unusable EQ ranges - like half of the range - but that stingray EQ is musical across all 3 at all 3 extremes, no pot travel is wasted. Ive got OBP-3s in a number of basses and those preamps have ridiculous bass boost you just don't use half of. I love a subtle EQ.

    What *have* I done!?? I've just ordered a Cioks 8 Extender for my DC7. Too many pedals doubled up on single outputs. Messy. Image from the website, obviously. I'm about to switch from a modest home made wooden board to a Pedaltrain Novo 24.....which is enormous and completely overkill. I'll get my Dunlop wah back on the board though. Will post pics when I get it figured out. Next big purchase will probably be a Darkglass Bk7 ultra pedal.

    The headlining Bredon Cider Festival gig with Jagged Little Alanis from a couple of weeks ago is the gift that keeps on giving. The official photographers have been rolling out loads of stuff but these ones are amazing - love his edits! 🙂

    The other part of this equation is that more and more bands are going down the ampless route these days, using modellers and IEMs. So their entire rig can fit in a gig bag and a backpack, and is therefore easy to take on public transport. Maybe not if you're a drummer, but for the rest of us? Definitely an option. I'm not a convert, personally (vocals - yes, bass - no!) but it does seem to be the way things are going, and if a fringe benefit is that it means less cars on the road, including mine, then that's a good thing. Plus not having to faff about with parking, etc is always a bonus.

    I'm definitely getting one. A Gollihur recommendation is the gold standard. I had a complaint that there wasn't enough bass spinning at our last gig. Never mind that I played quite a few of the right notes, some of them in the right order! Unless there are also bass-related acrobatics involved, people don't feel they've had their money's worth FFS.

    Firstly, remember that Reverb prices are always 'jacked up' significantly from what the seller actually gets. I'd say the Cort A5 series are always a better bet than the Squier, which mainly have a very cheap preamp in them. There are some passive ones, but you don't see them come up very often. The CORTs are always really nice and consistent basses. If you get the Bartolini preamp and pickups you're getting a good all-round bass. Some of them even have MarkBass preamps. I'll PM you another option as a buyer, too. Buying sight unseen is always going to be a gamble. But I sympathize with you on the demise of most of the big music shops these days.

    psu and box. £60 posted within mainland UK. Can be collected in Aylesbury. The in-famous pitch correction effect... From the wildly popular HardTune effect to subtle pitch correction and gender manipulation, VoiceTone C1 opens up new vocal territory in an easy-to-use stompbox. Main Features "Mild to Wild" pitch correction effects Connects between your mic and mixer High quality signal path and tough enclosure Can be chained to additional VoiceTone Singles Mic-Control offers remote on/off via TC-Helicon MP-75 microphone Mild to Wild Pitch Correction Processing VoiceTone C1 has clean, transparent correction capability with unique control of musical input via the guitar input if desired. When transparency isn't your bag, cranking the attack and gender controls will turn the C1's pitch correction into the robotic modern effect heard everywhere. As simple as plugging in your mic Gaining access to the studio quality sounds and intelligent processing of VoiceTone singles is as simple as plugging in your mic and turning the effect on. Of course, you can always change the style or the amount of effect, but you shouldn't need to unfold the manual unless you're making a fire. Strong family genes Each VoiceTone single shares the same genes: a clean, quiet mic preamp that rivals high-end touring mixers, a die-cast metal case, rubberized no-slip base, studio quality analog to digital conversion, and the same quality processing you'd expect from our flagship vocal processors like VoiceLive 2. All new Mic Control feature The revolutionary and patent pending Mic Control circuit is built into each VoiceTone single pedal. This allows TC-Helicon's MP-75 Modern Performance Vocal microphone's thumb switch to turn your VoiceTone single's effect on and off. Picture having the freedom to kick-in your vocal effect while working the stage, not gazing at your feet. It gets really cool when you chain multiple VoiceTone singles pedals together and control each one independently or turn them all on or off in combination.

    Not sure, probably break even on my costs but I'd be surprised if I got anything more than that. I have no immediate plans to sell though. I had a look online while I was working on this thing – checked out various listings on reverb, ebay, etc. It seems that no-one is really sure how to price these basses at the moment. Some slightly manky ones are on offer for £250-350, while others are listed for as much as £800. The Bass Gallery has one that they recently got in for £550, though it looks to be in very good condition. Almost every listing has a decription that is riddled with bizarre inaccuracies, and there doesn't seem to be any significant difference in pricing between the active, passive and later "Custom" models (with the J-style pickups). Curiously, Hohner's own website says these basses were first made in 1988 but this one has a 1987 serial, and there are a lot of posts online from people who claim to remember seeing/owning/selling them as far back as 1986. I think the rather forgotten nature of these instruments reflects the abrupt cultural shift that happened in the early 1990s. The eighties were, I'd argue, the last period (in the West at least) when "new" and "hi-tech" was generally considered to be automatically better than "old" and "traditional". The headless bass was a classic example of that sort of technological optimism – it was marketed as the improved, more rationally designed and technologically advanced form of the electric bass. The bass of the future! When grunge hit the cultural mainstream, that was all flipped on its head. The most important thing (certainly in music) was the appearance of authenticity, which meant a sort of outsider aesthetic complete with old, second-hand guitars, clothes from charity shops, and so forth. A glossy, hi-tech futuristic bass suddenly looked corporate and lame. As a result, I think these models experienced a calamitous fall from the height of cool to deeply, profoundly uncool in a matter of a few years. I suspect that, despite being really well made instruments, their value on the second-hand market is still – even now – recovering from that initial blow to their reputation.

    It is strung B-C, weight wise I'm not to sure of the exact number (will try and get hold of it) but compared to my other basses its very manageable and not a lead weight by any means Not after trades, but happy to negotiate if you have a number to offer...
  29. ProjeKtWEREWOLF
    I absolutely adore mine. It goes all the way from a fat vintage tone to a snarling Ibanez metal sound. I'm after a 5 string BTB Multiscale next.
  30. Mrbigstuff
    If you ever want a vintage sound rather than buying a boutique instrument, these are available 😉
  31. Dazed
    Hi Is It strung b-c? Whats the weight? Trades or part trade? thanks
