  2. In great condition only used at home
  3. Thanks .. no idea re T/S specs ?
  4. Great day in the workshop today. @HeadlessBassist popped over to collect his bass and we finally got to hear it properly through my Blackstar Unity 500 combo. Up to now I’d only heard it through headphones and already thought it sounded sublime… but through the combo? Superb. Genuinely one of those moments where you stop playing and just look at each other. For a passive Jazz it sounded almost active — but there isn’t a battery anywhere near it. Big, thumpy low end, proper growl when you dig in, and a clarity that just sits right. Soloing the rear pickup was a bit of a revelation too — loads of honk and that almost-slap snap even when played fingerstyle. Properly responsive and alive. Hopefully @headlessbassist will add some sound clips at some point, as he’s much better at that stuff than I am 😄 I honestly think it shocked both of us how good it was — always a nice surprise when a build exceeds expectations, even when you’re hoping it will. Cracking way to end the day.
  5. Nice crowd! Daryl
  6. Cash is always quite interesting 😉

  8. The room looks packed. Nice Daryl
  9. From what I’ve read, both Direct Drive & Belt Drive have pros & cons. Direct drive is more stable, but there can be vibrations from the motor. Belt drive reduces motor vibration, but can be less stable (especially if the belt hasn’t been changed for a while. Technics’ ΔΣ-Drive on the GR2 & G models are coreless, which they say is “designed to seamlessly eliminate even the tiniest vibrations originating from the motor.”, so it should be the best of both worlds.🙂
  10. Possibly for the first time in over 5 years, no purchases for me in Jan, not through lack of trying though - I just haven't found anything that made me need it.
  11. Offers around £100 will be accepted.
  12. Same here, in my Kentish local authority. I think that Thames Water also give us a two-month payment holiday too. I may need to buy a better set of in-ears Replacing my Linsoul ZS10s with some Shure AONIC 215 Wired earbuds. I find that the ZS10s distort when I give the B string some welly, whereas the Shures that I borrowed for a professional gig, were clear and strong. T2 fail? I also want an ipad, to run Song Select, because paper printouts don't really work in my current gig. T2 fail again?
  13. Can’t Keep It In - Cat Stevens
  14. There's a 350W Tone Hammer already. I expect they used that.
  15. Bought this to practice through my laptop in a nice and portal fashion… barely used it, though it was handy being able to plug in essentially anywhere. Here’s what is said about this. The Apogee Jam X is a mobile guitar interface that will take your direct tone to a new level, thanks to its built-in analog compressor. Choose from three presets that respond to how much you drive the input gain. By applying compression before your virtual amp sim, you’ll find new life in your guitar tone. Or record clean. The choice is yours. Here are the following compression presets: 1. Smooth Leveller. (Lowest amount of compression) 2. Purple Squeeze (Medium amount of compression) 3. Vintage Blue Stomp (Aggressive amount of compression). Never Miss A Beat Stay in the rhythmic pocket with Blend mode. Allowing you to record with absolutely no vibe-killing latency (delay). Crank It Up Whether you’re monitoring as you play and record with your favourite app, or streaming music, the stereo output on Jam X dramatically improves the playback quality of your audio. With high-resolution sample rates up to 96k and ample headroom, Jam X delivers clarity and plenty of volume to your headphones or powered speakers.

Rugged metal body. Blend mode for zero latency recording. Based in Aberdeen.
  16. Today
  17. Did not dive deep into this EQ yet. Current feeling is that it puts a strong emphasis on the treble side and that it sounds somewhat cold and analytical.
  18. Pan Vol Push/pull: active/passive Low mids / high mids frequency may be changed by jumpers on the board Bass / treble Switch to toggle bass center frequency
  19. Warm Wet Circles - Marillion
  20. Apologies @BassTool - I'd completely missed this - I post so rarely these days that I inevitably forget about it when I do! That does look like a potentially neat solution, and as you say, is probably the only one there is.
  21. Hiding behind the sofa adding secret bass parts on your baritone? 😂
  22. Excellent, I shall measure shortly and if it doesn't fit I shall take it!
  23. I acquired a stan Clarke from bass chat before Xmas. Quality bit of kit. I've only done one gig with it, dB into A and eb into B. It will take a mike with phantom power too and is also a di box. Must say, being able to set independent gain and eq for both basses and then between songs, mute, swap basses, swap channels, unmute, play ( with no clinks or pops) is brill. The notch / HP filter is quite subtle. Our sound guy wants my bass through the pa so DI to the mixer and normal output to my little pjb flightcase for use as a stage monitor. Clean sound,no distortion, no hiss.
  24. Sadly selling this ridiculously beautiful precision bass solely because of my tiny hands. Can't get on with the neck at all, I'm more of a jazz/jag neck guy so it's time for this to go. It's in absolutely great condition for its age, with only the one wee ding in image number 9. Recently had a setup with my main man Alec, and it's strung with flats. Obv. 🤣 Comes in a Fender gig bag as pictured. Not really looking for a trade as I'm intending to finally get an ACG, or a short scale Rickenbacker. Welcome to try it out, and PM me about meeting halfway somewhere. Based in the South of Scotland in Dumfries.
