High Quality 3/4 DB Gigbag - suggestions?
Burns-bass replied to Happy Jack's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I recently picked up a 7/8 bass and it came with a TKL gigbag. Never heard of them but it’s bloody brilliant. -
You are probably right since I have it set quite subtle so even when I have the Exp fully open the trail will disapear quicker than I thought. Maybe other owners/users can chime in and set it straight for us.

Depends on the sound and feel you want. There is no right answer. Only the right answer for you.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
kwmlondon replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Had a practise with one of my bands last night. Almost all originals. It was good to mee up with the other two, but I'm not sure about some of the material the guitarist is coming up with. He's getting overexcited and churning out a lot of samey material now but he's a very nice guy and fun to play with. The drummer has moments when she clicks and it works well, when she's confident with the song but when uncertain can go very much out of time. I did try a few exercises to try and start listening to each other and get them to both slow down as they really do race away. Anyway, hoping we can get into enough shape to do a gig by the end of the year. Some of the material is pretty good and fun to play and they're great people. What WAS really good though was that I got to play through a 4x10!!!!! God, I love this configuration. I have an ultra-portable MarkBass NY121 that I can take to gigs on public transport, but the luxury of a big old cab filled with lovely ten-inchers was a total joy and pleasure. I think that this is "my" sound. Definitely my sound of choice. -
New Fender Vintera II Roadworn 60's Precision
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
When I saw the headline as these were announced yesterday I initially assumed that all of the instruments in the vintera II series would get a model in this range. My wallet let out a massive sigh of relief when it realised there was no roadworn bass vi. -
As I recall, and i only saw demos of the 6 knob, the in lvl works a bit more like a mix, in that it allows you to control how much bass signal hits the reverb, at one end you have no reverb at all, just clean, and at the other end, you have full reverb. It isn’t a mix though per se, as it maintains ‘trails’. So if you ramp up the decay of the reverb, you can swell it in as you play, then pull the pedal back to stop more reverb appearing as you keep playing over the decaying trails. Of course, I may have misunderstood that myself as it wasn’t a feature of the version I had.

New Fender Vintera II Roadworn 60's Precision
LeftyJ replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Yep, the Custom Shop used to have three levels around 2000. New Old Stock, Closet Classic and Relic. They've added levels since (Journeyman and Heavy Relic). -
The Bart mk1 humbucker shape pickups are in fact reverse P design and very good they are too...apparently little is gained by upgrading to the usa bart pickups....Corts are good basses! I would try and get the A5.

New Fender Vintera II Roadworn 60's Precision
PaulHornBass replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I personally prefer this to the 'heavy relic' wear. It looks aged but not beaten up/badly cared for! -
Thanks Seva. Great to meet you 👍

I stuck a pedal pcb clone of a broughton HPF/LpF at the start of chain and it had a really nice effect. also tried the Euna clone which was an ok buffer too so i mashed them together… with variable input impedance, the bass switch from Euna and the ability to switch the HPF in and out … it works not sure if it’s an improvement as I’ve rearranged the pedalboard since and it has way less effect also doesn’t fit in the spare gorva m45 I have … made the board a couple mm too wide

Not sure how that's an "unexpected" bass player. He totally looks like one of us

New Fender Vintera II Roadworn 60's Precision
krispn replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I think it’s a nitro with checking rather than a forced ‘ RW template’ so it’ll get beat up quickly if treated a little rough but has that classic ‘aged nitro lacquer’ look without the beatings. I think Fender has a closet classic finish yrs ago which had that gentle treatment/finish. -

Don’t laugh… that’s exactly how luthier Rob Armstrong came to design his “Baby Guitars”… he mucked up a case order and decided to build something to fit the mandolin cases that arrived.

Now I'm confused. Is this operation out of Poland the temporary one to supply their luthier / business customers while they're looking for a new suppliuer, or is there genuinely a new Polish operation that's here to stay? It sounds like they're currently only supplying to guitar manufacturers, but will restart sales to private customers again in October.

Up for sale is my much-loved and well-cared-for 1997 Warwick Corvette Standard. This beauty has been a joy to own, but it's time to let her go to fund new projects. This is one of those basses that just fits, perfectly balanced on a strap, incredibly comfortable neck, and low, buzz-free action. It sounds fantastic, with that unmistakable Warwick growl and clarity, and sits beautifully in any mix across a wide range of genres. These days she’s more of a case queen, as I haven't played much recently. As such, a basic setup and pot clean may be needed. Specs & Features Model: Warwick Corvette Standard Made in Germany – January 1997 (Serial No: A‑034719‑97) Body: Solid Bubinga with natural oiled finish Neck/Fretboard: Bolt-on Wenge neck and Wenge fretboard 24 frets 34″ scale Brass “Just-a-Nut I” adjustable nut Electronics: Passive MEC (Volume, Balance, Tone) Pickups: MEC J/J single-coil configuration Hardware & Mods Fitted with genuine Warwick black hardware (bridge, tuners, control knobs) for a sleek, professional look Original chrome hardware included in case you prefer the classic aesthetic Condition: Very Good (8–9/10) Minor cosmetic mark on the back of the body Light playwear patch between the neck and neck pickup (under the G-string) — purely aesthetic Overall very clean and well cared for Weight: Approx. 4.3–4.8 kg — typical for Bubinga/Wenge builds Included Extras Sandberg gig bag Leather strap Original Warwick locking strap buttons (fitted) Price & Collection £750 Open to reasonable offers from serious buyers. Local collection (Eastbourne, BN22) preferred. Shipping within the UK is possible at buyer's arrangement and expense — you're free to choose your courier and organise collection. I’ll make sure the bass is securely packed and ready to go. Feel free to message for more details, additional photos, or any specific queries.
