  1. Past hour
  2. I don't think the neck is roasted, it looks like an antique tinted varnish. Very nice though 🙂
  3. In the end that is why I didn't go for the keys, because I wanted the MPC stuff, but I have a lot of keyboards I can connect it to
  4. If you'd seen my efforts at soldering, you wouldn't be asking me for advice 😉 Removing the wires should be a case of pulling gently on them while applying the iron to the solder pad - as soon as the solder melts, they should come free. If they're not loose after a couple of seconds, remove the iron to avoid overheating, and re-think. You may need more power or a larger tip. Remove one wire at a time if possible - you'll want to cut the cable tie bundling the P wires to the MM wires, and it may be easier if you can separate the black and white wires a few inches along their length. https://mightyohm.com/blog/2011/04/soldering-is-easy-comic-book/ https://www.premierguitar.com/diy/guitar-bass-mods/guitar-soldering?page=1 Personally I'd go for the terminal block, as it's hard to get wrong - but best of luck either way!
  5. Very reasonably priced for such a fantastically simple and effective compressor
  6. Although I love the MPC Key 37 I am going to put it up for sale as it doesn't quite fit with the things I need (home piano, stage piano, large midi keyboard for production). I am hoping I'm able to keep all of the licensed software though as I think there are some great sounds, I'm pretty sure that's fine as it is linked to my inMusic account rather than hardware and I already also have it all on the Laptop and you get 3x licenses. My plan is to get some sort of 73 key stage piano (f or live stuff. I've tried the Laptop + midi keyboard for live stuff before and it was a liability so I'm not going to do that again) and an 88 weighted key home piano (with speakers, simple, tough - to stay in the front room for the kids to learn on). And for home production the stage piano should work fine as a midi interface to still play the MPC plugin instruments via a Laptop. I've found that I actually usually have the Laptop hooked up to the MPC for production stuff as I prefer to do a lot of things like sample edits and Library management and sequencing via Laptop. I will definitely miss some of the MPC interface but it'll pay for the home piano and partly towards the stage piano.

  9. EBS Stanley Clarke signature preamp pedal £220 posted https://ebssweden.com/pedals/stanley-clarke-signature-preamp/ Two-channel preamp; each channel with independent gain, bass, treble, sweepable mids, and high-pass or notch filter. You can blend the channels or toggle between them. I used it to switch between upright and electric basses. Also has tuner output, FX loop, and balanced XLR DI output. Includes original box and power supply. My feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-feedback-for-jrixn1/

  11. Peterson StroboStomp Mini £90 posted https://www.petersontuners.com/products/stroboStompMini/ Accurate, compact tuner with high-def LCD strobe display and top-mount jack sockets. N.B. In the photos, in the top-left corner of the screen: that's the protective film that I never removed starting to come off, not a scratch/mark etc. My feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-feedback-for-jrixn1/
  12. I still use mine, 20 years old. Find it really useful with upright live sound reinforcement. jonny
  13. I have a couple of old Wem Westminster amps and love them for bass. I saw Richard Hawley on the Coles Corner tour last night and he was using both a Dominator and an earlier Watkins Westminster (with onboard tremolo) on stage. Sounded great. These amps are very capable and last for ever!
  14. Gregor form BassTheWorld is a big fan!
  15. “If this was a four string/ how much does it weigh?…” annoying bump.
  16. I should also probably have mentioned that it comes with the GB Shuttle 4-button footswitch. And the soft cover.
  17. Really nice sound that. I have absolutely no use for this...yet I want it anyway. GAS is a fickle mistress...
  18. The whole 'kitchen scales' thing is just so declasse these days, don't you think? Here we have the intersection of luggage scales with a meat-hook ... so much more satisfying. And no, your eyes do not deceive you. The scales register exactly 9.5lbs = pretty much the weight of every decent (single-necked) P-bass in existence.
  19. I should probably have mentioned that it comes with the original Owner's Manual.
  20. Very little used since Covid, time to move it on. Comes with all the little bits of cabling etc. Condition is as near pristine as you're likely to find. Full specs are here: https://philjonesbass.net/cms/product-ha-1/

  21. My eye (yes, I have two. Don't worry...) was caught by the cool looking lever at the top of the bridge - does this amazingly manly bass have a lever that deploys the string mutes? Bet MusicMan wish they'd thought of that before adding those fiddly tiny metal round screws under the bridges of Classic Stingrays. Seriously impressed by the intonation calibration markings on the bridge as well. If Bang & Olufsen made basses, they would make basses like this.
  22. $6.5k with buyer’s premium. It never ceases to amaze me how auction houses fleece both buyer & seller and it’s treated as normal (which I supposed it is, but I still think it’s wrong).
