I’ve just sold my jazz Bitsa bass to Ash. Great guy to deal with. Good communication throughout. Happy to recommend him to all in the Basschat community 👍

Kiwi, sorry to bug you when there's so much to be done. Can I please ask why these ones have wooden boards and not the peek of the other necks? Would it be best to have a central discussion thread for all of these questions, and then keep the separate threads just for ordering? I wonder if you've already answered the above somewhere where I can't see it and I'm sure none of us want to waste your time answering.

Good luck Andy and well done. When the faff outweighs the fun it's no longer worth your time. Enjoy your new venture. It's actually gift to find yourself in a position where you can play whatever you want whenever you want, plus you don't really need much gear to enjoy simply playing music. Lose the baggage 👍 (Regarding singing - I hear you! I have a plan to get a couple of singing lessons with a good teacher to at least find where my voice sits and how to engage it correctly. How to warm up etc.. It's never too late, keep on growing).

That would be potentially very interesting. Pickups are one of those areas that are going to be an awful lot more complex than at first sight... "yeah well it's just a magnet with some wire innit?", I doubt that somehow Would it be worth re-approaching these chaps much closer to the time?

I hadn't spotted that Andy, right at the very bottom of the page! I know I'll have to try one of these out as soon as I can. Rob

My Markbass combo has top mounted controls, but I don't find it bothersome - mostly because it's stacked on top of a New York 121, so the controls are elevated to easily used territory - high enough so I don't have to bend down but not so high that I can't see the controls. But my rig is sitting flat on the deck, so I'm clearly from an irrelevant, bygone era

Sorry to hear you're out of love with the band, Andy. I guess I'm in a lucky position where I get to work with lots of people, but I can't afford to play for nothing with people I don't want to be with. I feel for you and hope you'll find some great, like minded folks to make some great music with soon.

Hi Peter, sorry for the late response, @Lozz196 sorted me out with one!

Why do amp manufacturers still put the controls on the top of combos? It's not the 50 and 60s any more. No-one (not even tribute bands of artists from that era) puts their amps on the floor and then stands behind them. The position of the controls should reflect how the amps are used in the real world today (on stands and normally angled upwards) and not reflect some bygone era that is now irrelevant.

Gretsch G6119b Broadkaster bass Japan €1.350
W1_Pro replied to SurroundedByManatees's topic in Basses For Sale
The one in The Gallery is a nice thing. I tried it the other day. Thin neck, nice tone, looks the part. My reservation is that I think it might be a bit pricey for what it is. But I guess the gallery has overheads that we don't. Your shortscale will undoubtedly be nicer to play, and what with these both being quite 'thumpy' semi acoustic basses, I doubt the scale length will make any real diff to the tone. GLWTS!- 4 replies

everything has a price it will sell at, value might be a chunk less than you think it is… If you asked nice Andy might let you upgrade and swap it for a couple of well looked after Solokings ?

For sale in very good used condition my 1000watt neo 4x8 cab. It's weighs in at around 22kg single hand lift and carry (if not too far)! Super punchy cab and seems to naturally sit in the mix easier than many cabs I've used. The only flaw is the speakon input isn't working but both jack sockets are. Its 8 ohm so can be coupled with a 15 for a lovely full range sound. I have used it with my ashdown 2x10 combo which made a great rig. Hartke amp is for size ref only although is for sale separately (deal to be done)?? Postage is possible if sorted by the buyer. Robust packaging assured. Cheers

@BassAdder60 - that's a shame. I thought they looked decent - especially the Lionheart head. My Digbeth is a solid thing. Though the external transformer for the Ironheart Foundry doesn't seem like a great idea. Those flimsy cables are always the first to break. I don't remember ever having a broken kettle lead!
