Custom Jazz Bass reduced for quick sale £195
tividalebass replied to la bam's topic in Basses For Sale
What’s the action height on this …low ? Med what is the make of the preamp in it -
More articulate flats like Thomastiks might be the way to go.

I’ve recently ordered the TE1200 amp as I missed it after selling to Stevie at LFYS. How are other owners getting on with theirs ? I think the dual compressor and type of EQ points and pre shape make this an awesome gigging amp

Difference Between Aguilar Tone Hammer and MarkBass Little Mark?
BassAdder60 replied to Linus27's topic in Amps and Cabs
I’ve got the LM IV and had a TH 700 The TH is more tube like and vintage / warm sounding or can be with its drive. Takes a lot of tweaking to get just right. The LM IV is simpler and has different EQ points and totally clean although the old school control can darken it some. The LM IV is a loud amp and good head room and is in my opinion better and more flexible than the TH However I plan to sell mine as I need something with a bit of grunt and with a built in compressor. Although also a clean amp I’m waiting on the arrival of the TE1200 ( second time I’ve purchased one ) as it’s amazing in its tone and compressor. Not grind or snarl but great sounding -
Interesting,but was this meant for the 'How was your gig last night' thread? I only ask as there in no mention of a BF 310.😁

It's looking really good Rob, don't do yourself down. There are two issues with the grille. You need to keep it flat and not let it rattle and then it needs to be removable for any maintenance. If the back is stuck on then the speaker hole is the only way back in. It's fairly conventional to use either velcro or the little neo magnets to hold something to the speaker. I'm not sure how well the magnets would work to just hold the grille rigidly in place. If you drop the speakr or somebody kicks it then it will get pushed towards the speaker it is meant to be protecting. I cerainly don't think just magnets in the corners would be enough, and would it rattle at higher sound levels. I'd probably want the grille screwed to a frame which supports the grille along the whole length. Use the magnets to fix the frame to the baffle. Or you could print some sort of peg system to lock the frame to the baffle.

I’ve bought a couple of expensive Sandberg basses this year, for their light weight and my continuing back issues. I also have a Sandberg being made for me at present. When I get it I’ll let one of the others go. Although I don’t intend to gig anymore I do a 4hr rehearsal with my band once a fortnight so wanted to make things as easy as possible. They’re great basses and the last one was more than I’d usually be comfortable spending, but my first rehearsal with it last week showed me it was a wise purchase, didn’t cause any trouble with my back.

Musicman Sterling 4H Bass USA & Original Case Lovely example of the earlier Sterling model (not to be confused with the Sterling imports from the East) I picked up in a trade on here this year. Made in the US in 2000 it has a recessed neck plate, three band EQ and slimmer body and neck. This is a rarer version with a black sparkle finish and matching headstock. It comes with original pearloid scratch-plate and a plain black laminated one. It weighs 3.9kgs so a nice lightweight example of this bass. Lovely balance and set up. It’s very easy to play and currently strung with D’Addario 40-100 nickel roundwounds. No issues other than a couple of hard to see dings. Great bass, only selling as it is rarely used since I prefer maple boards. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. I’ve reduced the price so no offers. No trades other than possible p ex on a Ric 4003.-

Making a living from Bass will also offset tax. I'd definitely be getting a bespoke instrument made. That could well be just a load of off the shelf parts built to my spec. And a beater bass for the roadies to throw around during soundcheck.
-
Thanks. Pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s soooooo nice. This is my 6th Rick and in my opinion sounds the best by far. Nice chunky neck too that’s effortless to play.

Becoming inspired to give flats a go, though the main 'Ray gig is with an Evanescence tribute, so not quite the vibe! 😅

Not quite Lauder so I’ll substitute so I don’t die before I get old.

Well, yes and no! The guy that I mentioned makes a living from playing bass and decided that he needs a P bass that was completely bulletproof, complete with a quarter sawn neck / CS pickups, etc to handle every pro gig that he gets called for. I seriously considered getting something similar, but decided that I couldn't justify the extra cash as I already have a really nice 70s P bass that is always going to be my main bass, so paying the extra £1.5k wasn't worth it when I could get a really nice AVRI with a pretty similar spec, but without the quarter sawn neck! As I said in another post, you can pick up an American Std for £1k or so, which makes it difficult to justify the extra cash. But, for guys that are going to get that boutique P bass as the one that they use all the time, then it's certainly worth it for them!

When I got my first Stingray in the '80's a pre-EB 2 band, I always felt that in a band mix I was inaudible due to the big scoop in the midrange frequencies that is one of the defining characteristics of that bass. I was used to more mid-forward tones like a Jaydee or Status ect. Tastes change though, and now I really appreciate the idiosyncrasies of the Stingray sound. It's both punchy and understated at the same time, if that makes sense. More recently, I especially like a 'Ray with flats. It never occurred to me back in the day that Bernard Edwards might have used flats. I thought everybody had ditched them asap when rounds became popular. Nowadays we know better.

Sadowsky USA Jazz Pickups
Supernaut replied to Supernaut's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
