If it didn't have the Parametric EQ, I'd have ripped your arm off! 😲 Best of luck with the sale. Fantastic bass! -
Oh my, Stealthy Status. A lovely example Dave.

Yeah, but dangerous is sexy.

New Spector Frank Bello Signature Bass
HeadlessBassist replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Quite a lot of the EMG pickup sets are active, but without the 2/3 band EQ. Same as the Bass Centre Guy Pratt 'Betsy' signature - there's just an extra rout for a 9v battery under the scratch plate usually. -
The cull continues. Up for sale is a beautiful S23 Rob made for me at the beginning of last year, not long after they started up production again. It's in a custom Satin Black finish, with Tri-max pickups in soapbar cases and 'Paramatrix' 4-band EQ, making it really tonally versatile. With these specs, it cost a shade over £3500, so as I understand Status aren't taking orders at the moment, you can save yourself a grand and a long wait! It's in immaculate condition, complete with its Status-branded Hiscox LiteFlite case, all the paperwork, and I'm throwing in two new sets of double ball end Hotwires strings as well. If it's such a fabulous instrument, why am I selling it, you may well ask. The main reasons are I have too many basses, and I find myself reverting to my old Laklands, which just feel like home, so it's time to move it on (along with several others that I've also just listed on here). Collection preferred from near Woking in Surrey, but I can post within the UK at the buyer's cost and risk. Sorry, no trade offers please. A short review I put on here when I first received it - Current photos attached below. Shortly after I got it, I also did a comparison video with the S2 I had at the time, if you can cope with the verbal diarrhea and aimless noodling...

How did you get the LED setup done?

The worst thing for doing in your ears imo are cymbals, so if on a cramped stage there’s nowhere to get away from them. And the worst cymbal of all for me is the ride, I try to keep well clear.

I can lend you a butter knife and you could go at it like Jaco, if you like. -
I had one of these too, when they appeared over here in continental Europe, that I played on a gig on the same day I received it and also on further ones The funny thing is that I've been complemented by almost all the audience for my great tone with this very bass, but not with my other high end fretless, a Leduc MP 628 SF, which to my ears was and still sounds better, but the mwah on the HK was just insane... I guess that's what the audience loved. Sadly the HK was so heavy and very head diving that I sold it some time later, but I really loved that insane mwah. It's not pictured in my list as it was before I started to photograph each instrument getting in ... and out.

Bendricks Rock played Edmondes in Cowbridge. Originally meant to start at 8:30 there was virtually no-one so we started at 9 when we had a bit of an audience. It rapidly filled up although it was a bit tidal with people moving around thd pub coming in to dance to songs they liked. There was an engagement party in the pub. Their friends wanted us to spoof them so we got them up for a slow dance and played War Pigs 😂 Our original singer (didn't get as far as gigging) came to see us and said we were good. I took an anti-nausea pill again as squatting and standing to set up the gear set me off again. After tgat I was fine and managed to join in on backing vocals but was pretty shattered by the end of the night. Worst thing is the nausea means I can't drink... so had three pints of alcohol free - then spent the night waking up to pee.

Does somebody use a P51 in a jazz bass housing/format ? My 72-79 Telecaster bass has a Jazz pickup in the position where the 68-71 Telecaster bass has its single coil…… Instead of making a larger routing for an original size P51, , i would first like to try and install one Jazz with 4 single magnets, i saw Nordstrand make these , Delano too ( but with much fatter Stingray -like magnets )
-
Well, that does answer the question. I still think it's stupid though.

This is something I do not like: do you really have to play so loud that you need ear protection? How about the rest of the people in the gig? Should you provide ear plugs to them, too? To play hard is different from playing loud. If you need to play loud, try to understand why. Maybe a change in the setup on stage or placement of amps can help to tame high volume. Like the g-word player stands beside the amp, which is on the ground and the player cannot hear the direct sound = trebly +100 dB. A BIG MISTAKE.

My preamp appeared to stop working ahead of Friday nights gig but my trusty old basswitch has came to the rescue. I must have this pedal for 11yrs or more. Quick rewire this morning and the board sounds great for both IEM/FOH testing with headphones and into the amp. Added a Genzler 4OTF Classic bass for an always on sound to warm up the clean preamp which hits my two LBA 2020s transformers hidden underneath before the input stage on the Basswitch. The Dual Band comp is in the always on serial loop of the Basswitch before DI’ing this combined drive and comp sound out to the Cab M+. Sound great! The line out hits the remaining pedals before running into a Thumpinator hidden underneath the other side of the board before going to the amp. Pork and Pickle is more recent anddition and gain staging with the 4OTF just to the amp does exactly what I enjoy and wanted them to do. Adding a nice oomph on stage for me and the drummer but the FOH/IEM remains ‘clean’ and punchy. I’ve gotten compliments by sound techs before running this combination as it doesn’t mess with the FOH sound they’re trying to get right and they can give me a sign if I need to turn down the amp to get the balance right out front.

Hi thanks for the message, just a straight sale in this. Thanks -
I bet! I would love to need that much umph behind me but most of the gigs I play, one LFSys Monza is all I need (11Kg). Occasionally I use the second Monza, when I want a bit more. My back loves me now 😀 and both kidneys are intact.

I’m getting a little tired of the higher tension of Elixir SS, even the lighter sets. I do like how smooth they feel though. Does anyone know if the Dragon Skin steels feel very grippy? I might try the quantum nickels if so…or maybe I’ll get round to the Rotosound Nexus sets I keep thinking about…
