  1. Past hour
  2. I’ve owned both, and no it isn’t
  3. They’re not comparable. A Pollock isn’t about a technique (see Ed Sheerans Pollock-esque paintings), it’s the value of the concept and the execution. I’m highly negative about the vintage bass market, but these all original models genuinely are rare and obviously highly valuable because of that. I don’t think it sounds any better than any other single coil P bass but that’s me.
  4. Apparently Nothing - Brand New Heavies
  5. It's built up over time, using successive versions of the same platform (The MOD Duo, then the first version of the DuoX, then the more powerful version - I've got a MOD Dwarf as well that I really need to dig into further, but it wouldn't run all of this!) - so the development has been near-daily tweaking of it for close to a decade! I've saved some of the iterations of it, but not enough of them! Every now and again I hear a thing I recorded a few years ago and have literally no idea how I got that sound 😆
  6. Wow that is a lot! Mine is really simple compared to that, I think I need to experiment a bit more
  7. In theory you could say that about a £100k Broadcaster too, and I agree that John does great work, I have one of his basses. Or a £45m Pollock painting, which, as an artist I could replicate in 45 mins. I’m pretty sure players/collectors don’t care for that though. Just saying.
  8. Probably the easiest Fender to replicate. As an eg, a Bravewood with the right tuners is pretty much indestinguishable from an original. Just saying.
  9. here's the latest version of my pedalboard, all inside the MOD DuoX Every purple line is an audio path, and every blue one is MIDI. It's one in (though it could be stereo) 6 out (three stereo pairs). The parallel audio paths include an ambient path that's all reverb/delay, one that's all pitch-to-MIDI, and one that's glitchy weird sh*t. it's all controlled via a Keith McMillen Softstep and Quneo, the MOD Footswitch and two Dunlop mini expression pedals. The only additional outboard at the moment is a Dunlop volume pedal, a Dunlop Wah (alternate between the mini bass wah and the Justin Chancellor), and a Nordstrand Starlifter.
  10. Another jazz one rescued from my Sibelius folder that time forgot. Ray Brown playing very simply (for him, at least) on an F blues, almost everything sits in half position: Full transcription here: Ray Brown F Blues transcription
  11. Bought some strings from David. Arrived quickly with great comms. Thanks
  12. Very cool, and now I want this.
  13. Made in USA, June 2009 Walnut body Buckeye burl top Ebony fingerboard Ebony pickup covers Ebony ramp Maple neck Di Marzio custom pickups Bartolini 3-band preamp (18 volts) Hipshot hardware Zero fret/24 frets 35-inch scale length Excellent overall condition Mono gig bag, seen better days but still functional. Open to a partial trade for a 4, 5, or 6-string fretless or a 4-string fretted guitar to get back into slap bass. Dane Alderson with his Aryel Deluxe 5: youtu.be/EgUeQYpiHgI Reason for selling: I have another 6-string bass whose simpler electronics suit me better (balance/tone and that's it).
  14. I would take everything that man says with a grain of salt. He’s definitely no expert bassist.
  15. Could I just say how refreshing it is for someone to ask a question about actually playing the bass.
  16. Yeah, it’s pretty special. Light too.
  17. Now £100 posted to get it gone Source Audio programmable EQ pedal 4 presets and has a bass mode for the eq (It extends it down to 64hz) Great condition Velcro underneath Price includes UK mainland postage Collection welcome

  18. Came in a job lot but I won't use them 4 string set (the B has been taken out) Unused Happy to post at cost or you can collect
  19. And then 3, flat 3, 2, flat 2. Always fun to run a few substitutions.
  20. Really nice sound to that one
  21. Lovely, somewhere between Dusty Hill and Dusty Springfield! Good taste in components also 👍
  22. Today
  23. Our punk band kind of faded into non-existence. Gigs started to dry up and we ended up playing same places far too often so the audiences were getting less and less. The feel in the band was that there was a lack of interest and eventually we had a band meet and i made my point about the lack of interest and the BL agreed and that was kind of it. We all agreed that it was time to move on. No hard feelings and we all left as friends and still keep in touch via FB. When its done its done and best to move on but before you do it might be worth having a band meet to find out where everyone else is on it and what and where do they see the band going. Dave
  24. Nice to hear a What You’re Doing and La Villa Strangiato mashup. GLWTS and have a free bump.
  25. I knew it Daryl. You're his son 😂 Dave
  26. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1955-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-1 Nice video/sound clip of this very clean and original version sold this summer. For those interested in hearing the tone. (Bottom of the listing) I personally love these early contoured bodies, and this one. 😉
