  1. Past hour
  2. For bridges like this, threadlock is your very good friend...
  3. I have one that a friend is trying to sell to me. It's an R Moreno 531. It's gorgeous. It's been sat in my studio since the last time I saw him. I will end up buying it! There's lots of little builders of classical guitars.

  5. I use a Fishman Platinum Pro. Has a great DI, excellent one knob compressor, adjustable boost (triggered by footswitch), accurate tuner, mute function (on a footswitch) and a very nice EQ with HPF, plus some other useful features. There's one for sale here: The Platinum Stage is also excellent if you just need the eq, DI and boost features in a tiny package. There's tons of bass preamps available nowadays, not many have all the features I need but the Platinum Pro ticked all the boxes. Eliminated the need for a pedalboard with separate tuner and compression and I just take that one single box to gigs now. Bass Direct also have a used Genzler Magellan in at the moment: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/genzler-magellan-preamp-di-pedal-pre-owned/?gQT=1
  6. Hello there! Having only lived here for thirty seven years, I must confess to being a blow-in. I love the county and its surroundings. I knew it was the place to settle within a couple of hours of arriving. North Derbyshire is invigorating. Where are you?
  7. I t can be done relatively easily with a round biscuit tin with an incandescent lightbulb in the centre. I have a friend who has made several banjo and camp uke bodies this way.
  8. Price drop before I put it on the bay.

  10. Hello Derbyshire homie!
  11. Ireal pro is a great tool, but: 1. The chords are all user-contributed and very often not great quality. 2. The midi backing tracks are awful, and I can hear their influence on a lot of jazz I seem to be hearing these days. It is often played much too fast and square. £18 is pretty good value if you don't mind taking a tablet with you everywhere though. I prefer the New Orleans Jambook. There are chords for each song and they're better quality. If you've never seen this kind of lead sheet the chords at the top are for instruments tuned in C, and the melody is for instruments in Bb. A great starting point! A great resource and all free. https://cjam.lassecollin.se/
  12. I quite like this cover version of 'Lady Madonna' by Lenny White. A young Chaka Khan on vocals along with a young Marcus Miller on Bass. They certainly made it their own...Some will say, in a good way, and I suspect some will say, in not such a good way:
  13. Welcome Chris.

  15. Offers invited, cheers.
  16. Original price was overly optimistic, so now up for sale at £150. Cheers.
  17. I don't think this is the likely cause. Post pre-amp signal is normally taken before the feeed goes to the power amp so won't be affected by the master volume. My TecAmp works this way. I think this must be a design feature of the Rumble 100.
  18. Cheers - I’ve been looking around and some have gone for a lot more, so hope the pricing is fair / good.
  19. Hello. I'm Chris. I live in a little town on the edge of the peak district. I've been a longtime musician, mostly interested in popular music from 1920-1950ish (all learned from 78rpm recordings! ). My main instument is the ukulele but I also play a bit of lap steel and banjo. I'm in various bands and do a bit of ukulele tuition. I am looking to pick up bass to broaden my horizons a bit - I have spent many years in the same tiny little niche and much as I love it want to mix things up. I am interested in other kinds of music. Currently I'm playing a loaned Jackson bass which doesn't suit me at all, so I will end up on the marhetplace soon.
  20. Thanks for the info
  21. Here we go again... this is a great bass, but the length of it exacerbates my nerve pain, and no matter how incredible the tone is I need something a bit smaller that sits in a different position, like a Music Man. These are Jazz Bass size, with one extra fret, so a touch longer. I think that the magic of this bass is in the pickup, and not the pre amp as some folk have written online. I'm lucky enough to have bought a used pickup, which is pretty amazing as these basses are rare, so I'll be putting it into what ever bass I replace this one with - it has a huge output and sculpted tone. A maximum of 550 of these were made, with 250-275 in silver and the same amount in pink. This is another reason I've been reluctant to let it go; and also why I'm not all desperate to trade it - this advert is just out of curiosity to see if there's anything out there. Made in USA for about 2-3 years, this one from 2019. Weighs approx 9.33lbs / 4.23kg It's in a 9.5/10 condition, with just a few tiny marks on the back. Quatersawn neck, alder body, compound radius fingerboard, Tim Shaw designed pickup, Aguilar OBP-1, BA style bridge.... It's a beast. Comes with the original case and all candy.
