I've only seen 3 basses for sale second hand in the 20+ years I've been playing them. One was the 4-string fretless that Happy Jack bought off me, One was a 5-string fretted in flip purple that I bought and had refinished in CAR when it was refurbished by Gus. The other was a 4-string fretted in cream with a carbon fibre scratch plate that believe was owned by @6feet7 for a while?

It would be for this 80's sound definitely - I play mainly folk rock, and I switch between my upright bass and the Ibanez, so the woodier faster decay on the notes fits better with the higher action and keeps it in line with the upright tones.

Oops you’re quite right; it’s a Skyline 55-60. Looked exactly like a DJ5! 🙄 Anyway it’s here just in case

Replied 😊

I just had a look for this and I couldn't see it unfortunately, thanks though.

Tame the mwah? That’s interesting. I always thought that the accepted wisdom was “the mwah the merrier”.

Fender BXR 400 Dual Bass amp .... £149 (reduced)
Zetibass replied to eubassix's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Is it possible to run the bxr 400 into a single cab? I’m not trying to run both inputs. I just wanna know nothing is gonna blow if i just rig it up like you would any other bass head. One head one cab etc. -
@CalDeephas a very nice-looking DJ5 up for sale on here.

Distortion/overdrive is a very personal thing and there's so many different flavours - are there any particular players or songs you like the sound of?

While I am on the subject, did you know that Nick Beggs is 62.. he's older than.... me

Thanks for this recommendation - just listening to the album, amazing. I have an Ibanez SRH-500F fretless, which has slightly raised action to tame the mwah, and it's a bit woody, so might look at getting a pedal to get near this tone.

Just to tidy things up, I present the complete Nick Beggs bass part from the final tune from 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' from Steven Wilson. Great one for counting long passages with no bass and then changing time signatures inc. a long stretch in 7:8 with some challenging passages. It's a stunning record. You can hear the Chris Squire influence in the Beggs sound. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-watchmaker-steven-wilson/

Yeah I’ve been looking at different pedals I’ve seen a deluxe big muff second hand pretty cheap so gonna try that out and see how it goes. My rebop has the adjustable tone pump so I’ve already tried adjusting it up and down to no avail. I’ve just bought a euro 4lx as well which I’ve not tried through my pedals yet but I’m guessing it’s going to be a similar issue. Happy to hear any suggestions for pedals to try

I like the Valco KGB. I found my tall font Muff got a bit lost in the mix - the Valco does exactly the same sound but allows far more control, including phase, blend, impedance and tone. Plus three voices with varying mids and gate. If you can’t get what you want out of the KGB, it’s probably not a fuzz!

I just bought 2 Orange OBC112 cabs from Andy. Despite listing as collection only I thought I'd try my luck and see if there was any chance of delivery. Within a couple of days Andy had sourced some suitable packaging and was ready to ship! They arrived quickly and in great condition, can't wait to put them through their paces! Cheers mate 👍🏻

I do this fairly regularly and I use UPS and to be fair haven’t had any issues, they’ve always been super helpful and normally only one phone call or email for instrument country of origin. It’s not cheap for the importer but I’ve not had anything go majorly wrong. Recently sent basses to USA, Canada, Japan etc without issue. Maybe I’m just lucky

Same with me. No issue 12. I received issue 13 after emailing, but no issue 14 which is advertised on their website. Payments keep being taken. I’ve emailed them twice but no reply. I think I need to make a PayPal claim and get as many payments refunded as possible.

"Micro Frets" with interesting adjustment at the nut
Hellzero replied to alyctes's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I truly think intonating the G string will be a problem with modern strings that are far better crafted nowadays than when it was designed, and especially with todays round wound strings. It was designed to take into account the poorly made flat wound strings of that period... -
