  1. Past hour
  2. That's a common misconception, Mike. It was David Paton, formerly of Pilot and Alan Parsons Project ect. who played bass on Nikita. Apparently he go to the studio early one day, was just playing his Stingray along to the backing track to test out a new piece of equipment, Elton heard it and loved it and the rest is history.
  3. Good heavens!
  4. In passive mode, you may find that the treble control works as a treble cut, just like a passive bass. It's not a certainty though.
  5. Nano board, main bass and micro board. This is my 2025 core setup for live, recording and tone exploration. Also sharing some of the tracks I’ve recorded: Cheers, Chad
  6. Or 'good at metal'.
  7. It's just arrived... Of all the places something like this could have come from, it came from Cash Converters. Yup. Good old Cash Converters. I took a huge punt on it when I noticed Alice Cooper's autograph. Certainly wasn't anywhere near convinced it was legitimate when I bought it. But... having spent most of last night trying to find any information, I managed to find the 4 photos of Alice, Steven, Francis, Rick and Ian. All holding this guitar, and all with signature markings on the guitar they are holding that match exactly the position of the signatures on this one I now have in hand. I reached out to Warwick Stone (anyone that watches Pawn Stars would know him as the British chap that values all of their Rock memorabilia). He responsed by email yesterday evening after having seen the guitar and the photos I posted here and confirmed it was legitimate. I've also reached out directly to Ian Hunter and Jeff Wayne (as I found their email addresses) as well as Gibson's current CEO, Cesar. Hopefully one of those will respond and be able to give me some more clues as to some of the other signatures! A hell of a find...
  8. Breaking up is hard to do - Neil Sedaka
  9. Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?
  10. Another Maruszczyk owner here whose cheesy truss rod snapped. Best description I read was "That looks like soviet era technology" 🙂 I too had the neck repaired and carbon rods put in, by the amazing @Manton Customs - mine's an elwood 5 and Robin even managed to match the aged binding around the board. They're lovely basses, once the truss rod issue is sorted, I love mine 🙂 GLWTS!
  11. Looks good for me as well
  12. Price drop now £115! Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam
  13. Great bass, GLWTS

    Tayda do?! Slightly daft response - but also buying new from them probably isn't that much different from buying secondhand and postage ontop...
  15. I'm surprised that Universal Audio haven't dabbled into bass amp territory yet with their UAFX range. I have their Fender and Vox recreations and they are very, very good.
  16. 9th good for me too just over two hours away

    Does anyone have an interesting colour/finish 1590B enclosure they don’t want? Undrilled. Si
  18. Thanks Dude! appreciate it!
  19. I would have thought so considering a stacked pot counts as two.
  20. Very nice bass! Never played one but I bet sounds good too...
  21. It may be worth checking this out in the meantime: https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/fliptop
  22. Number of controls: does a push-pull pot count as two controls (one pot plus one switch)?
  23. I used one of the amps from this range a few weeks back, was quite physically small and had to be pushed on the volume so I think was the lowest wattage model. But the sound was great, all 4 bands used it, a variety of different sounds, handled them all. What I really liked was that the lows were really tight and solid but no booming, a really good full bottom end but all notes had definition.
  24. Ibanez SRF705 Number of strings: 5 Number of frets : 32 (30 plus 2 bonus points for unlined) Scale length : 34 Number of pickups: 3 or 7 (5 individual bridge piezos) Number of controls (switches/knobs) : 6 or 11 (5 trim pots for piezo accessible at rear) Adjudication required on number of pickups and number of controls
  25. A fantastic compressor with plenty of tonal variety using 3 styles of compression with their own respective ratios. The SSL Bus compressor, FET 1176 and Darkglass's own Super Symmetry. There is also a lot of great tweaking that can be done via computer with the timings of attack, release and even a HPF. In fantastic condition, including box, manuals, rubber feet etc. Specifications: Hybrid Analog/Digital Compression Pure Analog signal path Blend control 3 built in yet distinct modes of advanced modelled compression Connect to your PC/Mac via Micro-USB (B) Free ‘Darkglass Suite’ software (provides additional fine control and compression models) 10-LED gain reduction meter Touch-Through metal sensors Internal doubling of supply voltage to 18V (allows for extra headroom) I/O: 6.5mm / ¼” Jack Input impedance: 1M Ohm Output impedance: 1k Ohm (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~250mA current draw)
