  1. Past hour
  2. Up for sale is my 2013 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Classic 4-string in Vintage Sunburst with a stunning AAA flamed / birdseye maple neck. This is one of the nicest figured Classic necks I’ve seen and the figuring runs all the way up the neck and headstock. Music Man confirmed the spec via their database (see screenshot) I’d conservatively describe as excellent but most people would use mint condition with only home practise use. No gigs, no marks, no issues. It plays beautifully, set up low with no buzz. Comes with some nice extras: Hipshot D-Tuner professionally fitted Original Music Man tuner included in the case Both black and white pickguards Original Music Man hard case Case candy (strap locks, keys etc) Specs 2-EQ Classic preamp Classic mute bridge in perfect working order Chrome hardware Weight: 4.5kg / 9.9 lbs These 2010–2014 Classics are becoming increasingly sought after, especially the ones with premium neck figuring. Prices are rising, and very few clean UK examples come up with this level of figuring. Only selling because I’m downsizing and moving to a Precision for home practice. Price £2,395. Folk are listing these with meh necks, damage and scratches and no extras like Hipshots and extra scratch plates on Reverb for more than this. Dealers would be way above this for a similar example. Open to sensible offers. Bass is located in Central Scotland handy for all major motorway networks, happy to meet within reasonable distance (I have rendezvoused with fellow Basschatters in the North of England before). Happy to discuss shipping with buyer, would prefer to remain within UK at this stage. Feedback I have excellent feedback on Basschat from many years on here, my latest deal being for my 78 Tony Franklin fretless with Beedster the forum legend who was delighted, so buy with confidence. Cheers.

  3. I had a birthday present for my daughter in a 'basket'. Today I got an email with a 15% discount instead of the 7.5% I'd already found.
  4. Unbelievable. Thank you for sharing. After learning of Richard R's misfortune during bass move rehearsal, to stay safe I'll be practicing this one with a pouffe and a broom stick to begin with.
  5. I have fancied one of these for a very long time. Happy Jack was selling one and I jumped. I have it set up at my weekly residency (church). As we are all aware, bass is never allowed to be loud enough anywhere. So as to keep a quiet stage we have moved to wired in ears and the drummer and I are sitting in front of the FOH feeling the LF as best we can. To make it more fun, my ears are shot so I have to wear earplugs to play. I was just listening through those. But sitting on a chair on the bass board is a total game changer. The volume does not go up, but the physical interaction is a lot more real. In the spirit of the BC self build cabs, I feel certain that people who are not DIY clueless could easily build their own ones. And also improve them by putting a plate amp in there. Just thinkin'......
  6. Remember too Black Friday bargains are usually just stuff the retailers can't get rid of, or that they've discounted previously anyway.
  7. What I sent to Brian was the original plate with a piece of cardboard attached: So if he kept a copy of the final template he used, then you might be in luck. I'll PM you some details and you can ask him.
  8. Made in USA, June 2009 Walnut body Buckeye burl top Ebony fingerboard Ebony pickup covers Ebony ramp Maple neck Di Marzio custom pickups Bartolini 918F 3-band preamp EQ + volume + blend + 2 push/pull for mediums control and active/passive control (18 volts) Hipshot hardware Zero fret/24 frets 35-inch scale length, 4,7kg Excellent overall condition Mono gig bag, seen better days but still functional. Open to a partial trade for a 4, 5, or 6-strings fretless or a 4-strings 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-strings bass whose simpler electronics suit me better (balance/tone and that's it).

  9. No, blame @tauzero for your MDF nightmare.
  10. Today
  11. ? were they? I didn’t know they were made of MDF either?
  12. You destroyed all my childhood memories by demonstrating they were actually made of MDF. Pah. Thanks Frank. 😞
  13. Thinking from the perspective of smaller venues where lots of room modes and reflective surfaces can interact in a relatively small space... I've never found that settings on individual channels transfer all that well from one venue to the next even when eq-ing the room. It's a very useful starting point, but since the room effects have position-dependent components with respect to individual instruments, and a lot of musicians adapt how they play to the room, some further tweaking of the individual channels always seems to be necessary.
  14. 200 !! 60 quid is much more palatable, and i have one so i can say its excellent https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Dual-Bass-Guitar-Gig-Bag-by-Gear4music/1II6

    In my defence, poor though it is, once he's finally in bed my desire to do anything but collapse isn't there. Also, the workshop is under his bedroom and banging about with chisels will cause no end of ructions. Also, sorry Tauzie 😉
  16. Nick Grimshaw BBC 6music Monday 1st December 2025 7 - 10am He's promising some bass centric content for the morning show. I have no idea at what point it features but I understand you can rewind the digital player using something odd called a smart speaker. I say odd because there are more microphones than actual speakers in those devices. It's possible that Lauren Laverne will pick that theme up for her six of the best piece in the show that follows between 10am and 1pm.
  17. I'm not a fan of Rush, but I watch that video of them having dinner and want to be in the band.
  18. Does my bum bum bum look big in this?
  19. I know nothing of this stuff. But Brave plays YT with no adverts. This is a good reason to use it, if for no other reason.
  20. Ditto.
