How far have you travelled to pick up a Bass?
KevSpurs replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I can go for the shortest. A squire strat from next door neighbour. It took all of 20 seconds -
I have a pearl throw off on both of my main snares. You have to lift the whole thing up to take up the slack before you can pull the level up to fix it on. You can kind of do it one handed but it's not the easiest thing. If it was ever a problem I'd probably find a better throwoff mechanism and fit that to both, but as it is, for 99% of our gigs, no-one can hear it
-
Most snare drums can be adjusted for snap-on/off tension, assuming they're in good condition to start with. Just sayin'; yours may be exceptions.
-
Haha the bridge is what it is, it's not a deal breaker for me but I definitely get what you mean. I think it's because they're trying to keep it as cheap as possible.

Guilty as charged!!!! Stone him Jonny -
Haha! Thank you, appreciate it! 🙏

£22 for two sets of D'Addario Nickel on Amazon
neepheid replied to skidder652003's topic in Accessories and Misc
It's back... same ridiculous ETA as the last time I used this order but they arrived way sooner than that. Anyway, I'm not in a rush, just handy to have some extra spares at a silly price! -
Def, in my last band we found that vinyl sold great in Wales and Europe, CDs not so much, whereas in England CDs sold much better than vinyl. And yes, L & XL shirts are the "sellers".
-
Very good quality audio interface, very light home use. Just much more tech than I can use. Details and spec here: https://www.esi-audio.com/products/u86xt/ Original box, power, cables and paperwork included. £180 collected. Quite a chunky parcel, so postage extra. -
He doesn't half look smug. IIRC, this is the offence of "Appearing so self-satisfied as to outrage the Public Decency". -
I have a few snares where the throwoff is very stiff and takes two hands to get off and on When I was playing quiet folk songs in pubs with limited PA, I would keep my snare off as much as possible in intros etc. Now I play bigger venues with big PAs I leave it on. You can't hear it FOH
-
Option 2 for sure. My amp hardly ever needs updating significantly but our guitarist needs to adjust for each venue, sometimes several times during the set but at least the base volume is about right.

Copyright theft. Taking someone else's work and passing it of as your own. -
2006 Rick 4003 in jetglo, good condition *now £1,900
Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
I played this again today and noticed the bass volume pot is a bit scratchy/non linear (albeit fully functional once it is set). Probably just that its been barely touched over the years and needs some contact cleaner. To reflect this and to attempt to drum up some interest, I will lower price to £1900 inc UK delivery -
Looking at The Double Bass Room is fantastic. Is there anywhere in N. America that compares? -
You don’t need to really - or at least it would be a lot of work for little real gain given that to manage output you can balance the G/D and A/E poles with PUP height, and in doing so some of the tone imbalance would at the same time be resolved (and of course by swapping PUP arrangement you’d probably introduce different tone issues) 👍 -
Ernie Ball Pino Palladino flatwounds - £90 a set

Pino must be demanding a decent amount of cash for his name… -
Price drop £700ono For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components. This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC. Specs: Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire) Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls) Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. I upgraded the tuners to Hipshots so there are some small holes left from the previous tuners. Includes a finger ramp- could do with a respray! (easily removable though – attached with double-sided tape). Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre. Reason for Sale: Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves. Price: £800 (sensible offers considered) Cost about £1500 to put together. Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.-

£160 - Posted - Darkglass Vintage Deluxe- used but good condition. Works perfectly but no longer needed. Free postage -
Welcome back! I can relate to falling into periods of playing lots then not so much. Good on you though for only selling one bass and acquiring another in the intervening nine years! Glad also it was a G&L 😀

Custom Jazz Bass (audio demo included) Price Drop
Muzomatt replied to Muzomatt's topic in Basses For Sale
Yep you're right- it's a compound neck. Thanks -
Good tip. I still use Helix Native for my bass tones, but I grabbed Archetype Rabea for my guitar this sale, and I already owned Archetype Nolly from a previous sale. Both are great plugins for sure. I've used the trial version of Parallax, but I was too geared for modern distortion for my tastes. If they release an Alpha Omega plugin I'm all over it.
-
Ah that's what it was - I didn't get a chance to speak to him but could see he had something smaller than a helix at his feet. I think he had a boss tuner as well. Mind you his bass wasn't even on stage before the show and I was initially worried there wouldn't be a live bass player!

Ernie Ball Pino Palladino flatwounds - £90 a set
Linus27 replied to kevin_lindsay's topic in General Discussion
I guess the good thing is it will be a one time payment as they'll never need replacing. Still, I doubt they are any different to regular Ernie Ball Flats so you are paying for the name.
