  2. samuelcroberts started following Wilcock 4P-51 (2020) for sale
  3. samuelcroberts
    For sale is my Wilcock 4P-51. I picked this up second hand a little while ago, but this is a 2020 model from Viv Wilcock. I've recently received a Mullarkey, which I ordered ages ago, which has kind of superseded this bass for me so I'm moving this on. It's a wonderfully simple and fantastically made bass that deserves to be played. I've made a couple of modifications (see specs below) and there are a few marks on the front and back of the body, which I've tried to show in the photos - these were already on the bass when I bought it and do not affect the playability in any way. Just a great quality, simple, working bass. Comes with a Status branded Hiscox hard case (no idea why it's Status branded - just what came with it when I bought it!) and is currently strung with TI flats. These start at £2500 new and I'm looking for £1550 for this. I'm in Smethwick/Birmingham for collection etc.. Also welcome to come and try the bass out if you wish! Could probably ship in the UK, but I would ask that any potential buyer would arrange this themselves fully insured. I would prefer collection or meet up within a reasonable distance. Potentially in for trades for the right 4-string fretless, but would prefer the sale. Any questions, just ask. Thanks for looking! Specs: - 30 inch scale - black stained swamp ash body - beautiful figured maple neck (satin finish) with rosewood fingerboard (20 medium jumbo frets) - passive volume/tone controls - Fralin split 51 pickup (original Sunbear single coil replaced due to a noise issue - original included in sale) - TinyTone tort pickguard (original black guard included) - Hipshot ultralite tuners - Think the bridge is Gotoh? Fully adjustable in any case

    I like Johnny Cash's original, but I also like Slim Harpo's take on Folsom Prison Blues

    Came home buzzing as had a great service - got a lovely growly sound out of the Warwick (ended up using it's passive mode) and following the friday practice was far more comfortable with the five strings today - then stomped in a mid boost using a Boss GEB-7 for the two songs I played fretless on and got enough mwah that the worship leader even looked at me and smiled... small things!

    Quick question - is it OK to bring stuff to try and sell on as well? I have a drawer full of pedals and a couple cabs (not in the drawer) that I never quite get around to listing anywhere?

    Songbird. Christines genius wrote it and Eva made it popular. Both versions are just amazing, and Johnny Cashes Hurt is just sublime..off the scale.

    Have you got Divine Brown on standby?

    The jack socket looks okay from what I can see. I can't comment on the preamp. I was unable to get enough slack in the loom to pull it out that far. Have you tried with a battery yet? You have to have a jack plugged in and the switch to the correct position for the preamp to work.

    Its weird but with TT800 i find my Sandberg Marlowe sounds better thru the Subway channel rather than the Boogie channel but my VM4 sounds better thru the Boogie channel. Not tried backing of the neck pick up tho. I'm normally full on both on my Marlowe or my Jazz. Dave

    Great question. It’s basically a pre defined eq cut at 800Hz which simultaneously maintains bass and treble at a consistent volume as the cut gets more pronounced across the sweep of the knob. Imagine a bass and treble boost only eq on an active bass which also adds that 800Hz mid cut too for slap tone but all mapped to one knob. At lower levels the cut is less evident but can liven up the tone. It’s looks a bit one dimensional on the surface but in conjunction with a drive pedal you can think of it as adding a second eq voicing. I can have a nice drive tone and then engage the Funkulator and immediately get a more scooped voicing which might be preferable on some tunes. I’ve said in a post about the Funkulator in another thread it’s really quite useful and can enhance a jazz bass’ natural voice, add a new voicing to a drive pedals as well as tighten up finger style at lower settings.

    Then you try something non Fender and that becomes the best.

    Last night was a frustrating one. All day wedding so we did the ceremony and then I hit my cajon for an hour during the drinks. The evening was okay. Very receptive audience! But, possibly the highest ceiling we’ve ever encountered made the low end so boomy. First set sounded terrible in my ears but apparently wasn’t that bad out front. Spent the break tweaking the eq on my B6 and our Bass drum pedals’ module. And, the second set was a lot better. The frustration with of weddings of course is the quick evening turnaround not allowing a fantastic soundcheck & the fact that it’s just the two of us. It’s hard to tweak on the fly when we have issues. That paired with the fact that I’m still recovering from a pretty bad fall a few weeks ago which blew my knee up like a balloon, thus making it hard to kick my bass drum pedals for 1.5 hours made it one of those gigs where I was in my head a lot and not really as present as I would of liked… Oh well, still a great night enjoyed by all it seems. 4 weddings coming up this week starting tomorrow so on to the next 🙏

    No worries that's what I thought, worth a try though. If someone else wants to take the C4 off your hands let me know and take the controller. Cheers

    I have one of these and it’s very good. I don’t fiddle with the controls much, tending to leave it in passive mode in the usual 60:40 jazz pup mix but I do like the string spacing
  24. Jean-Luc Pickguard started following Removing the silk-screened logo from a squier
  25. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    Less expensive squier instruments, such as the mini precision bass and older affinity series, have a very plain looking black silk-screened logo. I have discovered that this logo is very easy to remove using a little acetone (aka nail polish remover) on a piece of kitchen towel. My Mini-P took about five minutes to debadge and is now ready for a custom decal which I will attempt to make later today.
  26. Paul S started following JV Precision is best bass I've ever played!!
  27. Paul S
    I had a couple of JVs. One was a really early big Fendo logo one, the other a bit later. The second one was everything I wanted from a Precision and lightweight, too - the best I have ever owned. Sold when I found long scales too much of a stretch.
