    From a manufacturer's perspective, pickup differences are the easiest and main way for the manufacturer to differentiate cheap/expensive product lines in terms of tonal differences. I swapped out the 'vintage alnico' pickups on a Mexican Classic 70s bass for then-current AV75 pickups and it turned an anaemic, polite instrument into a snarling funky monster. I know I could have got close to that sound another way, but the pickup swap was simple, it's inherent to the bass itself which is useful when going through house/rehearsal rigs, and I enjoy playing that bass a lot more with those pickups in.

    It can't be anything else but that - can it? Listeners voting for their favourite songs. The very definition of subjectivity. I quite like it, even if some of my favourite bands aren't in there. There's quite a few I've not heard before, so I'll be checking them out. There's also quite a few I would never listen to again and I'm quite glad I've dodged them.

    Keys players, especially inexperienced ones, forget (or choose to ignore) the fact that there is a massive difference between playing a piece solo and as part of a band. A solo keyboard can do the lot - melody, chordal accompaniment/harmony plus bass part - because you can play up to 10 notes simultaneously. Put that kind of everything but the kitchen sink keyboard part into a band context and you'll have clashes - rhythmic and harmonic - all over the place. Not just with the bass, but with any other chordal instrument and even the vocal. Some KB players are less than amenable to being told to trim/thin down what they play. The previous guy in my band was one such. He was a nightmare and would even sulk when told to thin it out. Fortunately, he decided to take his ball home recently. His replacement is great and gets it, but then, he's very experienced and knows his stuff. I'm mightily relieved, to put it mildly.

    Pretty funky, but not a colour I think I’d keep

    You can add a multi switch foot pedal to the Stomp and have them assigned to different blocks. I get what you are saying, i too find the multi FX stuff as being less accessible, but i also realise if im playing with two hands i wouldn’t be messing with knobs anyway. it’s just dining what works for your mind set. Maybe you’re over thinking the need for a long list of effects though. It might not be as long as you think.

    the Beyer's do get mentioned a lot, but the blurb also says they are suitable for mixing and mastering, which perversely puts my off, my old AT ATH WS110 wouldn't be very good for mixing, you'd probably finish up with not enough bass with normal listening, but I will see if I can try them out somewhere. I have managed to bodge up my broken headband, not sure how long they will last but it has given me a bit of time

    it was worth a shot id say, I saw the cort in question on the bay but id just bought a sire z7 5 so it was off the shopping list Guyker like ripping off HS hardware, might be worth seeing if they have something with the same layout mount spacing ? I'll take the 6 Wilko bridge (i can use it on my 5 build) if you want the £20 & a few quid postage back for it? just fire me a message.

    I owned this bass for a year and a half. I bought it from Paddy and sold it back to him in a moment of weakness 😂. And I would have bought it again had I not just bought the blue/maple 55-02 on here. This purple/ebony one is absolutely stellar and it's typical of the breed - but just that bit nicer still. Easy to see why so many players favour these basses. They're super versatile and sound great in a band setting.

    Count me in Mike. Cash is awaiting.

    Be aware that there is no "standard" LP12. Depending on age and spec', they come with different electronics, different arms and carts, etc, etc. £1500 will get you a fairly basic model - LP12s hold value and the name ensures prices remain high. The LP12 is very upgradeable, but you can quickly get into spending serious amounts. It's your money, but do compare the one you're thinking about buying with similarly priced offerings from other manufacturers.

    Here we have my DBX DriveRack PX professional loudspeaker management processor with matching DBX reference microphone for sale. I am the second owner, and this has lived in a flightcase all its life alongside my mixing console. Condition is used, although the reference mic was new this year (2025) has never been used in anger. A great tool for those of us who mix live sound from stage side whilst playing. I’m only selling as I have now upgraded my bass bins to a matching pair to my tops so will be using the internal crossovers to cut down on the weight of gear I shlep to gigs. Because I am inherently lazy, I asked ChatGPT to describe the functionality and this is what it came up with, which sounds accurate to me based on my experience. “The DBX DriveRack PX is a professional loudspeaker management system that optimises live sound systems. It combines automatic room tuning, crossover control, EQ, dynamics, and feedback suppression in one rack-mount unit. Using the included DBXRTA-M measurement microphone, you can run auto-EQ and real-time analysis to tailor your speakers and subs for smooth, balanced frequency response in any venue. Other key features include configurable crossovers, delay alignment, compression/limiting, and feedback elimination, making it ideal for PA systems, bands, DJs, and event sound setups.” I’m looking for £300 for the DriveRack and reference mic, or £250 for the DriveRack and £50 for the microphone. Collection from Killingworth Newcastle upon Tyne, or delivery at the buyers cost and risk. Any questions, please ask!

    @GBH I can confirm they are indeed 8 ohm each

    That's a shame, thanks for letting me know.

    Yes, I didn't like to show off, but I guess it was obvious from the size of the stack that something was up

    Honestly, its not worth the effort! The odd saddle on the A6 works fine, just looks mildly out of place. I may replace it at some point, but doing anything to alter either the bass or the bridge isn't worth it. To me.
  22. tauzero
    Bat out of hell might get into the top 20. And maybe another Bowie track or two. Given the worship for Prince on here, it's a bit surprising that he hasn't put in an appearance.
  23. binky_bass
    Because it was cheap, the bass in question hadn't arrived and I took a punt. 100% my risk to take. At £20 for the bridge, I'd happily take a similar punt in a similar scenario. I'm not going to loose money or sleep over it!

    If you are interested, please write a pm.

    Very much a subjective opinion. 700 and 770 use the same drivers. I prefer (and own) the 770, especially if you want fuller bass, but that's just my choice. YMMV.

    FANTASTIC You can have my 15 quid now if you want What, even my virtually-intravenous coffee addiction? Can I put in a cheeky early bagsy for a dementia/Alzheimers charity? Sadly, a cause that is very close to home.
  27. Chienmortbb started following P bass - Pickup recommendations- weird one.
  28. Chienmortbb
    The DiMarzio pickups usually have adjustable pole pieces so you can set the pickup heights in the usual way but fine tune the volume of each string by either lowering or raising the pole pieces with an alien key.

    Small, articulate Bass Cab in excellent condition complete with a Roqsolid cover which is also in excellent condition and cost over £90 alone. Dual Speakon / 1/4” Jack input & link. The OR-110 is a front-ported lightweight 1 x 10” cab with a custom designed Ashdown speaker – making the perfect companion for the OriginAL Head or extension for the OR-C112 combo to achieve the maximum output from the 300-watt power section. Or for any Bass Amp or combo with an 8ohm speaker output. The cabinet is constructed using premium grade far eastern ply and is wadded to retain specific frequencies. The fine-tuned reflex port allows for more air to be moved, giving the little cab a surprising volume. Rated at 150 watts at 8 ohms, the OR-110 is one of the most portable cabs on the market. Adding further convenience, there is a top mounted grab handle positioned to offset the weight of the speaker magnet for ease of transport. For those pub gigs, pairing two of the OR-110 cabs provides enough volume to keep up with most drummers without having to DI through the PA. Otherwise – one OR-110 cab alone sits very well as a personal stage monitor, when using the OriginAL Head’s on-board DI to feed the front of house PA. Ashdown have focused their product offering over the past few years, delivering some really inspiring products focused towards the needs of the modern bass player. The OR-110 is no exception to the rule, building on the success of the OriginAL Range and adding something of real value to bass players delivering everything you need from a compact rig solution. The OR-110 Specifications are as follows: H:360mm 14.1” W: 390mm 15.3” 😧 360mm 14.1” Weight: 10.7KG (23.5lbs) Power: 150w Impedance: 8 ohms
