    Well, a few days on and the combination of the Okuoume body, roasted maple neck/fingerboard and nitro finish make for a very pleasing tone. Only issue is a lack of top end, so I've ordered a set of the Fender Pure Vintage 66 pickups from the current Vintage II 60's model. I was originally going for a set of Lollars, but this is a nice prototype bass and doesn't really warrant pickups that double the bass' value. The Fender PV 66 set should give a sound somewhere close to my American Original Jazz with it's PV 64s.

    The Bash starts at 10am but anyone who wants to come earlier from 8am is welcome to have breakfast served from Mrs Scrumpy's kitchen and maybe help us set up.

    Pretty sure everyone knows what these are about. Selling as not being used and could use the £££ Price includes postage in the UK.

    That is some fantastic detective work, wink wink. Yeah, the tort was swapped, and the previous owner decided to install regular size tuners, so swapped those to ultralite style ones.

    There’s some kind of reactive circuitry in the Origin stuff where they’ve deliberately built it to replicate the feel. It’s certainly not the same as my tube pedals, but certainly less rigid feeling compared to other solid state preamps I have and have had. Obviously not comparing apples to apples either as I don’t have the tube equivalents of what the two BassRigs are emulating. Have had the Grand Slampegg and Fliptop though. (I’ve also had tube pedals which didn’t give much tube compression.)

    Hi Gang! Hope everyones good. Putting my Ashdown rig on sale - this is from December 2024 so 6 months old basically and can prove it. Working perfectly and taken out to rehearsal just 3 times, but going digital with the band (Anagram + IEMs) so no use for this sadly. The head comes with cover, mint. Cabs with minimum scratches - enough to feel them with a nail but not cut thru the tolex - I can still remember the trip where this happen and facepalmed myself. Cabs are about 14kg each or so, can carry the whole rig two handed. Tweeters on OFF/MID/Hi on both cabs. Would prefer selling as a rig. If separate: RM 500 EVO III head £400 w/ cover ABM 2x10 EVO IV Pro Line (not the compact) £400 ABM 1x15 EVO IV Pro Line £350 Take the whole rig for £1k and I'll add the foodswitch and cables too. NOTE: Decoloration is only because of having wiped them with a wet cloth to clean the scratches for more accurate picture - they are black all over and even of course.
  9. dave_bass5 started following Ernie Ball Pino Palladino flatwounds - £90 a set

    My thoughts are, what did Pino play before these came out? Surely those are going to get as close to his signature sound for a lot less.

    Aye probably, more of an idle thought which made me realise that a Mustang would make a cool fretless, then realised that I don't think I've ever seen/heard one! I've always enjoyed the bass content in the upper register on Mustangs, so think that would translate to fretless really nicely.

    Cheaper older ones are available on BC Marketplace!

    Thanks offer - I think I’m going tapewounds now with the bass so Strings FS only

    I was about to suggest the VHS plugin, but I’m late to the party again. It’s really useful on your master bus and will even give you emulations to f common studio speakers if that’s what you’re used to.

    I’m loving my Player II as well 🤟👍

    This could be fun. The neck pickup is a bit wonky, but that's easily sorted. If I wasn't skint I'db tempted to turn it into a fretless (has anyone done that to a Mustang/Musicmaster btw? I couldn't see anything on Youtube) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376440384712

    If you can find some frequency graphs for those specific phones you might be able to add an eq curve to flatten them out. If they're a popular brand they should be out there somewhere. I use a plugin called Hornet VHS that has a large library of headphones' response curves. What is the make and model? I'll see if they're listed.

    Out of curiosity, what makes you feel like Origin can achieve that feel when they will also not be tube driven? Si

    Very Steam Punkesque if I might say. Great looking Precision....enjoy playing it!

    Hi Pete No, with the way I move my gear on much (actually make that very much) has come & gone in that period. And much more to go too now I`m giving up gigging.

    Because I am horrified by what I have read in the pages of this thread, and the Vice link aniki posted. That's why. Like you say, we can all pick and choose where we rehearse, and on the basis of this thread I would pick and choose to avoid Pirate like the proverbial.
  22. Skybone
    Fabulous looking bass. GLWTS.

    OK - so I did listen to the track - headphones on, at volume, all the way through. I was mentally preparing an unbiased critique, talking about song structure, instrumental discipline, some basic production/mastering which might pull a coherent song out of what we were presented with. And then I noticed our pal Mr Layne ain't exactly a newb around here, having uploaded 6 songs a good few years back. I got curious & went a-Googlin'. https://www.soundclick.com/johnlayneandtheaeonspromiseband Two hundred and seventy two songs. I don't think there's much I could teach John L about songwriting & production. Not that he'd listen to, anyway. 🙂
