Yeah Im sure that was on here too, I have certainly seen it doing the rounds.The colour is lovely but it's a bitsa at best. It may still be a very cool bass though and @Beedster I use a '63 pick up in my '72P and I swear it sounds better than the original. Of course I may just be willing it to be of course 🤣. Its probably worth £2k in parts though for the pick up, tuners and bridge

Just bought a Barefaced One 10 from Dan - fantastic comms, awesome packaging and kept trying to drop off the package until they eventually accepted it! Highly recommended top Basschatter!

I suppose without knowing where the body came from and who did the change over of the fretboard and electronics etc. it makes the value hugely subjective. But, I cannot see a day where it can be fairly called a '62 unless the replacement body can be verified as also a '62, which I'd doubt! If the body/fretboard were hand crafted by a known and respected luthier (Shuker, ACG, Sei etc.) then maybe 2k might be not crazy high. But for all we know it could be a far eastern replacement (probably not). It'd be good to know why all these changes happened, where the new parts came from and who assembled it. With that, the price might be more understandable. I think asking 4.5k for it as it sits regardless of who did what is a joke.

It's the gateway drug to the current range of LFSys. I have to say that in reality, I could probably live with it for 80% (or more) of what I do. In blind testing against the Monaco and the Mesa, the "listener" correctly identified each cab every time. The Monaco punches harder and has even more clarity on the top end. The Monaco was effortless with the Laney (8xKT88 400w) and 400+. With some feedback from Stevie I modified the BC112 to accommodate the full speaker excursion. I added some 6x11 bead under the grille, Stevie gave me some of the 10mm cushion tape. What I found during the testing was that the Mesa 400+ was making the speaker cone hit the grille. This didn't happen with any of the other amps. I remember an amp builder telling me that the 400+ is designed in a way that enables it to do this (I can't remember the details but it's something to do with the big caps in there. I'm keeping the BC112 for the foreseeable future. it's off to Monty’s Guitars along with my Laney to help with some pickup testing work for a while. After that it'll probably end up living in a rehearsal space and/or being used as part of a guitar rig with an EHX 44 Magnum (D Class pedal amp) and HX Stomp.

Point taken. There could still be some magic in that bass, especially as I'm a sucker for early 60's Precision necks, especially one that's been well played in, and although I'm not sure I buy the idea that older pickup necessarily sound any better than contemporary equivalents, I'd take the chance! But either way, and re price, I imagine it could be the equal of basses priced at around £2000-£2500, which these days includes production USA Fenders, hence the logic. Of course I might see it/play it in the flesh and decide it's not the their equal and keep my cash 👍

I still don't see the value at that price. The only wood thats maybe from 62 is the maple part of the neck. £2250 would be a price I genuinely think would be a huge struggle to sell it for as it sits. I can see this being sold and not long after being resold elsewhere with less of a description and still claiming it to be a '62. At least BD have been honest in their description, though in the title they definitely should make it clearer.

the FKT Fretless Pedal is quite good but I suggest try before buy , it looks like significant coin to get one I use one with a 2EQ Stingray fretless with flats and I think it's glorious

the 2EQ USA Sub from c. 2002-2004 are cool

looks great but 450 not 4500

I can't remember ever feeling I had to buy something due to what other people said So far I've been lucky with everything I have purchased since the late 1980's I did get a Stingray 5 unplayed unseen that required Luthier time to get it playable

2EQ stingray with flats is totally the business Amps with missing knobs firmly agree!

There’s no expression output on the pedal. You can take the signal from the “envelope out” port and run it through an inverter, which is what you needed the CP-251 control processor for.

You just have to remember that the left hand is Motor and the right hand is Dynamo, then First finger is Field, seCond finger is Current, and thuMb is motion. Fleming's left and right hand rules (no relation).

Nux Mighty Plug or Boss Katana Go will run headphones and you can select effects on them - the Boss is superior to the Nux but they're both perfectly usable. Further up the budgetary scale, there's the Positive Grid Spark Neo which is a wireless dongle combined with wireless headphones, and for another £100+ there's the Boss Waza Air. All four of these allow you to play music on a Bluetooth device paired with them so you can play along. I've got the first three of these and my very much preferred option is the Positive Grid Spark Neo as it's wireless and the included headphones are good quality. The Nux and the Boss Katana both need you to supply headphones which does mean possible extra expense but also means you have a choice of what headphone you use.

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but listening to last year’s China Greatness album of "deconstructed /reconstructed” hits, I was blown away by how the wonderful fretless with chorus sounds in this new version, it almost has a 3D effect compared to the original (bass comes in at 3:50): Does anyone have any idea which specific fretless bass is being used? By the way, the bassist on the recording was Andy Pask from the band Landscape.

Hello, I'm traveling to England for my daughter's wedding in a few weeks time. I'm to perform at the event but am having trouble finding an instrument. I only need it for the first week of September and will be based out of Andover. I need an instrument with a pickup, and would be playing both pizz and arco. Can anyone help me? Oh, I'll probably need an amp (but that's a lot easier to find!)

I do hate people not knowing history. Double bass belongs to gamba family. Burn those violins. And stop using that g-word. It's an electric bass.

I learnt very quickly not to write my charts in red ink!!!! I was looking at an empty page.
