Argh! The temptation is strong with this one - luckily, I've already got an MGCS Basses instrument in the works and almost completed. Phew! I need to say to everyone, @Silky999 is getting very good at this game very quickly. His care, attention to detail and careful research are second to none. You'd all best order one of his basses before he hits the BigTime! (... or should that be 'BassTime'? 🤔)

I know there's some eager to hear, so here's a quick late night comparison. 4 different clips, recorded through 4 DIs (In no particular order, Mantle, Noble, Luce, Caveman)... First two are P with flats, 3 & 4 are Sandberg TT4 with rounds. I'll put the order below under a spoiler warning for those who wish to let their ears do the work. Interested to hear your pre-spoiled thoughts! Tried to keep things as consistent and simple as possible. Something bigger and more in-depth coming soon! Recorded straight into a UA Apollo, gain level shown. I definitely have thoughts... mainly that i'd be pretty much happy with any of these if it was all I had. I set each one to taste rather than trying to really match them up. The gain on the Mantle has a big effect on the voicing, much to learn there. Important to remember the Luce is NOT a preamp, just a DI, although it certainly has colour.

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! -
But will it displace the Noble?

It's funny but I've never understood the mass fascination with tort but then I've never really been a fan of old, traditional colour basses. I think it looks like sick (or worse 🥴) and people put it on all sorts of coloured basses as well. 🫣 Nothing worse than a new bass day thread when the OP shows us pictures of a beautiful bass and goes on to say that they've replaced the scratchplate that suited the bass in the first place with something that looks like last night's curry. Anyway, I digress and it wouldn't do if we were all the same - although I would laugh if whoever bought this proceeded to put a tort guard on it 😂 -
Hi there everyone! Its been a while since I posted on here but here we go. I am about to kick off a custom bass build with Alpher (Mako 5 Elite) and I wanted to get a grasp of people's experiences with their own custom builds. If you have gone through the process I'd love to know how you felt the process went? If you started the build again are there any changes that you would make to your bass? How happy are you with the final product? I am fairly set on the specs for my build (33" scale, English walnut top, ash body, roasted maple neck, wenge or pau ferro fretboard, Maybe thinline (still undecided) and Aguilar Super Double and P pickups), but I would also love to get some feedback on whether you think there are any changes that would get me closer to my goal! This build is mainly for my own work as an artist (as well as a couple of Jazz artists I work with), so will be stung E-C and very inspired by Janek Gwizdala (soloing + Chordal Comping) as well as Rocco Palladino (actual Bass playing) in terms of tone. Really want a bass that feels super responsive and powerful whilst still being a passive instrument, Have I got the Spec right? any changes that you might want to suggest? All the best, Harry

You can add your own IR files and NAM captures to it so just a case of finding one you like, loads here: https://www.tone3000.com/search?q=bass I did a thread about it here: It's pretty intuitive to control and you can also connect it to your phone or laptop and use that to configure it. I just bought it for silent practice really, I had two sets to learn for dep gigs while looking after my mum post hip operation so it released at just the right time!

These are a great bass, not a one trick pony. Lightweight and versatile, records really well The fretwork on mine is astonishingly good, my Sg bass (same era) is my go to bass (and I have far too may 'quality' basses to choose from). No connection with @Clarky, GLWTS. -

Selling my trusted GK 410 cab which has been in my possession for the last 7 years or so. Powerful, punchy, and light weight with the neodymium magnets. Comes with amp cover. Open to sensible offers, looking to shift this before i move house in March. Collection from SW20 preferred.-

I'm loving this: P bass?

I have a TGI Extreme. It's a very nice bag, although as @lemmywinks says the single front pocket is not very deep. My main issue with it is the handle, which is kind of zipped together but without a zipper tag on it. It came undone, there's no way to do up again, so it's now bound together with duck tape.

Thanks. That Sonicake looks a prospect, especially if it's £50. Very similar to my old Pandora PX4 in many ways, but with Bluetooth aux in. Are the bass amp models any good, and is it easy to navigate for a luddite like me? I'll investigate the Valeton as well.

Annoying! I have a maschine mini purchased ages ago . Also launchpad app with packs that I paid for . Wondering if the apps will be eventually deleted . Will Inmusic buy them ?? -
It’s black grain filler then Liberon finishing oil hand sanded in, shellac and finally Blackfriars gloss poly. I wanted to use the Liberon on the wenge and the elm to help blend it together with the ambering.

That's very kind, of you. I've got plenty of 12mm ply left which I can use. If I get it wrong I can always make another baffle. Thanks again for the very kind offer. David

I've looked at the NUX but I think I'd have the same problem as I had with the Boss Katana Go, i.e it's in the way and not easy to adjust when I plug it into a bass that's a bottom-loader.

Thanks for the comments. I probably didn't put the question in the right words. The design calls for a tubular port and as you say I'm looking to have a rectangular port, or box shape for the want of better words. the reason for the change is simply that I'd like to get the cabinet in a useable shape for a jam session this Sunday. To use a tube shape I'd need to have to wait for one to be delivered, whilst I can add the box shape using some wood that I have to hand. If its a simple matter of making the box shape with the same cross section opening and depth then that's something that is easy to do. If I get it wrong I guess I could always cut a new baffle. Thanks again for the help and advice, David

Hi guys, finally pulled trigger on a new pickup for my stingray project bass. Im going to replace everything while im at it. Went with the Aguilar AG4M. Got the diagram from the website. My noob question is that do I link all the earth's off the pot's back to the jack like in the picture? Thanks in advance.
