  3. LawrenceH
    I'm surprised this hasn't sold! What's the weight? Thinking about swapping my own 75RI out for a lighter one due to back issues...

    Sorry, I seem to have started a hare running! I have no idea where I would get decent timber in my part of Norfolk. There must be places but the nearest to me are the usual culprits and even as a complete woodworking novice, I can tell the quality of the solid woods on offer is abysmal. The pine looks not much better than balsa wood and there aren’t any sheets wide enough to do the panels of a 12” cab (yes, I’m posting in the 8” thread: it seemed more active). My gut says 15mm ply but not from my local B&Q: the sheets there are all bashed about, full of filler and voids and most are warped. I am thinking I might have to order online from further afield. Big risk; as any pre-cut sheets might arrive dog eared from courier handling. If anybody has a good experience of this and can recommend a supplier, I would be really grateful. My mate has been making open back guitar combos: I don’t think he has realised the dimensions I will need for a closed, ported 12” bass cab. He might change his mind about solid timber when I show him the dimensions, besides I’m paying, so I get the last say. I will definitely go for the finger joints though. I might also need to seek advice about port size and length in due course.

    Hi @Shaggy, I’m selling an Ultralite Xtender - it’s not the right one for your bass but I’m fairly sure that they all have the same fixing plate so see the pic below, should give you an idea:

    The SRs are great. There's a 2105 prestige model for sale in the for sale section at the moment.

  12. terryj
    Is it ok to use BEAD on a normal 4 string or does it put too much stress on the neck as it's made for a 4 string?

    Hi. Here’s my 2010 USA Musicman Stingray 5HH in excellent condition. No damage or signs of wear apart from some really thin cobweb like lines on the pick guard which dont show.One very shallow mini dimple on the back of the body. My lamps make it look worse than it is, to be clear.So only a 9.9/10 for condition ! Excuse the conservatory roof reflections (the parallel lines) and there’s a palm plant too. Better light though. This bass plays both beautifully and thunderously depending on your preference with the 5 way pickup selector and powerful 3 band preamp. All the electronics perform perfectly. Everything works as it should and the alnico pickups give a rich variety of useable tones. It’s a very responsive and dynamic bass in tip top condition and priced accordingly. The frets have most of their depth left and were professionally dressed just after I bought it. See the close ups. They were polished today and I only had to use a little oil to clean the fretboard today so this bass is ready to do the business for you. New battery too. It has a lovely smooth and dark rosewood board. Shiny gloss black finish over the ash body. Nut width 44.6mm 66.6mm at 12th fret String spacing 17.5mm at the stainless steel saddles. D’Addario 40-125 roundwound nickels. Weighs 4.55kg , 10lbs 1/2 oz with the lighter original metal black knobs and 4.6kg, 10lbs 2oz with the chrome ones. Nicely balanced with a strap in either case. I’ve had it nearly 10 years but need to raise some funds now and recently got a 4HH Special so that can take over now. I bought it used in 2016 but it’s only had minimal home use in that time as my other basses need playing too. It’s all stock apart from the chrome knobs but I have the original black ones if you’d prefer them. Both photod. Price reflects the excellent condition and perfect working order. It includes the original Musicman Stingray 5 hard case and insured UK Mainland delivery costs but I will send it further afield if you contribute the charge beyond UK mainland. Thanks for looking.

    Nice one! Looking forward to your review and bass sound samples / YT clips if you're up for recording some for us? If this really is as good a filter as it promises to be, there'll be a few more of us in the queue to get one, I suspect!
  15. Lozz196
    Extra long scale perhaps?
  16. BassTractor
    Number of strings, or frets for that matter, doesn't influence me. I always stink:
  17. JohnR started following Caveman Audio BP1 Preamp - £550 Delivered in UK
  18. JohnR
    Caveman Audio BP1 Preamp - £550 Delivered in UK. In immaculate condition and boxed. Purchased from Bass Direct in September 2025. This is a superb preamp and is the fourth one I have owned but I keep struggling with the amount of pedal board space it needs. This time I am determined to downsize to a smaller board. I would consider a trade for a Jad Freer Capo with a bit of money coming my way. https://caveman-audio.com/bp1-bass-preamp/ Potential buyers are welcome to demo in Glasgow.
  19. Woodinblack
    Only the intro. Tool songs use the other strings too!

    I've had a response to my email now. I'm not best pleased with it really, I've basically been blamed for not noticing that the handle and feet placement had changed in the pictures on their website, and if I'd wanted it to match an older style cab then I should have specified it, despite there being no option to specify it on the website. They have offered to collect this one, and make me one to match my existing cab though, but I don't know how long that is going to take, I've waited over 10 weeks for this one. Humbug.

  23. LawrenceH started following Jazz Bass - Bright Pickup Recommendations
  24. LawrenceH
    Be interested to hear these. I've just picked up a bass with the '74s in and I love the bright mid-hi clank, but so far find them a bit lacking on the low E. Does the overwound nature give them a bit of heft down at the bottom?
  25. acidbass
    No need to panic. I have found G4M consistently give 2 week estimates from the date you view the product, probably in some attempt to encourage an order. I see the date has slipped 5 days from your screenshot (and here we are 5 days later). It will continue to do so I fear. I have been caught a couple of times over the years with them, assuming an item would be in stock according to their estimates but waiting months longer. I feel this is deliberately misleading the customer.
  26. Skybone
    If it's there, may as well use it.
  27. Terry M.
    No we don't agree. I never said Metal is noise. I don't think it's appropriate to blare out any loud music in a guitar store where gear is tried out by potential customers. Metal is not my aesthetic choice but it's still music played by often very talented individuals.
  28. SteveXFR
    There are some metal riffs that only use the D and G strings, 46 & 2 by Tool is one that comes to mind and (I think) Bridge Burner by Mutoid Man but generally, its mostly on the E and A. Maybe its the clanky, trebley tone commonly used in metal makes the higher strings mostly unusable

    How did you guess that a Mazzer would be my choice if I won the Lottery? No common-as-muck Ferraris here thank you!

    Honestly, I get the product and what they wanted to achieve. For me, the EQ on most pedals isn’t what it needs to be for a working bass player. As for the price, if the pedal does what it claims to do and the quality is top notch, it’s not out of this world. in my opinion, if you feel the need for something like that, makes a lot of sense but if it’s not your case can be difficult. Just for curiosity, in the opinion of the people that finds it too expensive, what would be a fair price for this?

    You say that, but thanks to my 16 quid I bet you turn up at the next bash in a Maserati.

    This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
