  2. TheGhostofJaco started following Moollon
  3. TheGhostofJaco
    Any of you all still playing these? I bought my first one years ago from YJ and customs was not a problem. Something about these basses just stuck with me over the years and now I have 3 and have sold about everything else. They really scratch that vintage bass itch, my jazz sounds and looks exactly like a 65 I played many times in the past. The difference is the neck is better. Vintage necks can be quite hit or miss. Some people call that character, but I don’t want to pay a ton of money for that. And that’s where the moollons really deliver. I know olinto is making some good stuff, but at double the pricing. At that point I’d probably just go vintage. they really hit on something special with these basses, I am curious who is on the same level besides olinto. I have heard sus bass is up and coming. Also have a Nash that I think is better than most fenders, but it’s not on the level of Moollon -imo.

    I’m looking for an older model Hadrien Feraud Signature with a top wood, but it seems impossible to find one anywhere in the world. I even contacted Sleek Elite, and they told me the earliest they could build one would be in 2028. This whole thing has started to feel a bit surreal for me. If you happen to come across a used HF Signature for sale anytime soon, I’d really appreciate it if you could send me a message. Much love,

    I have a similar bass (1975) albeit with maple fretboard - yours looks all original to me and in very nice condition. Would be a very good deal at the price you've set in my opinion. Good luck with it!

    Thank you

    You only need half of those If you got rid of everything fret wise above the octave and every part of a fret on the two treble strings, you could make it a hybrid fretted/fretless and do all the pointless noodling on the bits real bass players don’t use 👍 #joking

    The necks on these are very nice
  11. Sparky Mark started following Trace Wattage, I Know, Old Topic, But...
  12. Sparky Mark
    The maximum output of many modern amplifiers is stated at 1% (sometimes 10%) THD (total harmonic distortion). Trace Elliot used a 0.02% level at maximum output. I wonder if this means the TE amps were capable of higher outputs but with increased THD?

    Wow! And a fine job you did sir (as indeed did you all) 🙂
  15. Hazza2004 started following Jack Casady mod project
  16. Hazza2004
    Hi all, I have just bought one of the fretless epiphone jack casadys and it is absolutely incredible, my first fretless bass and I have fallen in love! I have decided that I want to use it as my main bass creatively (at least for a little while) and will do some mods to it to make it more fitting to the music I play. I am thinking of adding a bridge pickup but have no idea where to start. I think I know how I would go about installing it but I am unsure what pickups to consider. does anyone have any advice? Also if their are any luthiers based in Suffolk/Cambs/Norfolk/London who would be interested in taking on this sort if project please reach out! Cheers, Harry

    Well it was pretty good. Refreshed a few toons for Saturday.
  21. SpondonBassed
    I asked them about that. They said no at the time. It wasn't until Tanja from MIG got involved that it came through to Rough Trade, via Proper. Mind you don't get annexed in Canada.

    Hi folks, more stuff from the spares draw. These are very lightweight tuners and the one that Low End Lobster has been fitting to his Sire basses as a drop in replacement. This specific item seems to be particularly hard to find anywhere at the moment. It is brand new and unused. £35 inc. P&P to UK mainland Here are a couple of pics and the link to Lobster's YouTube vid on the subject.
  24. AndyTravis
    Aww Lee. Love you mate. if anyone buys a bass off Lee (think he has a couple up for sale) I’ll post a brand new set of EB slinkies to the buyer.
  25. ead
    Hi folks As part of my ongoing gear clear out I have a Warwick Rockpower NT 1 power supply rated at 9V 200mA. £7.50 inc P&P to UK mainland.

  26. NickA started following Mark Bass LM II pat test?
  27. NickA
    Portable Appliance Test. Hence PAT test is, like PIN number, a misnomer. but everyone says it. Checks electrical equipment that's connected to mains to ensure no-one will get a belt off it ...in theory. The test...Checks the plug earth pin is connected to any exposed metalwork and checks there is no leakage from live or neutral to ground. Venues and health and safety oiks think it makes electrical kit safe to use and that it's lethal otherwise. I have a PAT machine and a roll of stickers and a log book of stuff tested. Easily done, I'm m not convinced it's worth the fuss but easier to do it than convince a health a safety oik that it's a waste of time.

    Too long, too boring, enjoy, don’t think I’ll be selling this now
  29. tayste_2000
    Ok, so this is flat out too long and probably a really boring watch but I just got caught up in the sounds I found. The lower gain stuff I could play for hours. I don’t think I’m going to let this go, still got to see how I feel about the DCX but for what this is worth I think it’s just great to have lay around.
  30. Stub Mandrel
    Rehearsal this evening. Bass Terror, mid and bass 12 o'clock, treble about 12:30. Gain about 2 o'clock. Great sound despite strings nearing end of life (Fender nickel plated). All songs but one tones full up, neck full volume, about 30% on bridge. One song went neck only. A bit of slap, lots of fingerstyle, a bit of pick. All sounded good, no trouble cutting through.
  31. tayste_2000
    Well I have one for sale 😇
  32. BabyBlueSound
    I fixed it since by adding another layer, the first layer always retracts a bit. I tried two types of UV resins before and they're both terribly, terribly stinky. Let me know which one you use that's hopefully smell-free I also managed to lose my UV flashlight since... 🙄
  33. JPJ started following Does this look like teak to you?
  34. JPJ
    I am involved with a lot of teak in the marine world, and looking at that grain, I’d say it’s more likely from the mahogany family. Pictures of the end grain would be helpful - in my experience old slow grown teak tends to have a very tight and regular grain pattern with no great variation in the thickness of the individual growth rings.
  35. JapanAxe started following SC Relics Thinline Tele in Ocean Turquoise Paisley
  36. JapanAxe
    Folks on here may be aware of the stellar work of NI builder Golden Era Guitars and his previous SC Relics output. I've owned and played this guitar a couple of years, having tried it when a friend owned it and begged him to give me first refusal should he ever come to sell it. It's unfeasibly good but I have another T-type that just edges it (and cost considerably more), plus I've just made my first foray into the dangerous world of Gardiner Houlgate Guitar Auctions, and have something I need to pay for... Here are the specs, courtesy of the included COA: Built in March 2020 Body Custom Paisley with Ocean Turquoise Metallic Burst Curved Neck Pocket Nitro Finish Lightly Aged with Craze Checking Neck One Piece Maple C Profile 9.5" Radius Aged Tint, Nitro Finish Electronics Radioshop ID Pickups 5-10 Overwind on Neck Paper in Oil 0.047 Tone Cap Treble Bleed CTS 250k TVT Pots CRL 3 Way Switch Hardware Gotoh Weight 7lbs 2.5oz The guitar comes with a nice light aluminium-finish hard case. (I'll add a pic of that once the daylight returns.) Looking for £1,300 - no trades thanks. Although I prefer to avoid courier delivery, I am not averse to a little drive out and meet-up, within reason. In fact I'm always happy to meet another Basschatter! I live in Swindon, Wiltshire. The delightful photos below are from my friend's 2023 listing. You can propbably tell that he's a professional photographer. Obviously his Vox amp is not included. I think the only difference is it might have had Schaller strap lock buttons whereas it currently sports a more traditional set. Currently strung with Elixir Optiweb 10s.
