The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
fretmeister replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Inspired by that G&L up there ^ Who is using tapewounds on their shortie? What brand and gauge? I've had some La Bella White Nylons in the past, on a long scale and I seem to remember liking them, but that was a very long time ago! -
Hey, I totally forgot about this post. Knee is better now rehab prevented surgery. It was more to do with my adductor. On bart 8CBP. I’m surprised I’ve had them for nearly 2 years. My bass is Asian ash with maple fretboard. The pickups are great l, especially with chrome flats. Smooth, creamy tone. The only way to tame the output and bass is flats. I really like nickel rounds so I’m thinking of letting these go and get the 8s or a different pickup. You thinking of trying Bart’s?

Unless it is purely random (well, even if), it really does seem very odd. -
I wish I was hip enough to say “I picked this up when I went to a synth convention in Berlin”. 😂

Hi All, I'm Andy, recently started playing bass after years of sucking hard at guitar. Feels much more like my instrument already. Long term view is to get back to gigging after a few year away.

Beautiful Alusonic Django 4 Deluxe Carbon custom shop. 2023 model in excellent condition, lightly gigged a handful of times and only for sale as I have been using short scale basses exclusivly for a while now and it's a shame for this amazing and versatile bass not to be used. Specs below, everything is the highest quality. It also has a hipshot drop tuner fitted, I will also include the original tuner. The strings which are Dean Markley nickel rounds. Plenty of online videos of these basses showing the sounds available, the 5 way pickup selection switch and active eq give a huge varity of tones all of which are usable. There is a active/passive push pull on the volume knob. Weight is 3.6kg and the balance is perfect on the strap, strap locks fitted which I will include. I'm not keen on posting this bass but if you have a courier you trust I will make sure the bass is well packed, it comes with it's original hardcase. also happy to drive for a halfway meet up, possibly Bristol or Yeovil, Dorchester area. Possible trade for a Fender JMJ mustang or any other interesting short or medium scale bass, depending on value I have a few more 34" scale basses I will be selling soon, Yamaha BB1500A, Yamaha BEX4, a roadworn Japanese Fender e series PJ-455 C o n s t r u c t i o n : Bolt – on Body: Chambered Selected Swamp Ash Body Body Finish: Open Pore Matte Black Acrylic Top: Carbon Fiber Top Finish: Clear Matte Acrylic Neck: Hard Maple with Graphite Reinforcing Rods Neck Thickness: 20mm at 1st fret, 23mm at 12th fret Neck Shape: Custom “C/V” Neck Finish: Epoxy Matte Black F r e t b o a r d : Graphitex F r e t b o a r d Finish: Natural Scale Length: 34″ (864mm) Radius: 12″ N u m b e r o f F r e t s : 24 F r e t s Size: Medium Jumbo String Nut: PPS “Tedur” N u t Wi d t h : 40 mm P o s i t i o n Marks: White Side Dots Truss Rod: 2-way Set in Normal Position Neck P l a t e : 5-Bolt Bridge: Alusonic Aluminium Quick Release Matte Black S t r i n g S p a c i n g : 20 mm Tu n e r s : Hipshot Ultralites Black Pickups: Alusonic Hybrid Alnico5/Neodymium Hum+Split Coil PBass Controls: Volume (push-pull Active/Passive), Treble (passive tone), Bass, 5-way Selector S w i t c h H a r d w a r e : Aluminium Matte Black P i c k g u a r d : Aluminium Matte Black Knobs: Aluminium Black String: Alusonic Steel 45/105 Wesso 3es: ABS Hardcase-

They’ve just had to buy a whole new desk because the old one started doing phantom gain and level changes at random on several channels. So getting some ADDITIONAL cash out of the finance committee right now might er… erm… hopeful! In fact, I’ll bet that the additional functionality of a new desk vs one that’s 10-15 years old may be partly behind the experiment!

I'm winding everything back now and having a clearout of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM-

I wish I could get my main band in other people's feeds! 😸 Weird coincidence. I'm sure someone who understands algorithms could explain it, but I sure can't! -

Rotary encoders are now common as a replacement for pots in the digital world. They work by indicating whether to increase or decrease the level of a given parameter. For example, they are often used on home cinema systems as control but can also be used to select menu items. Any PA speaker with DSP and a display will incorporate one. They often incorporate a push switch so you push to enter a menu, then rotate to select a menu item. If you want to know whether you are using a pot or a rotary encoder, the best way to tell is that pots have up to 300 degrees rotation before you hit the end stop, a rotary encoder will go round and round a round if you turn it. This picture shows one on an active speaker, The one with the purple blob.

Yes, I made contact with Essex back in 2022 regarding that Status Groove and his price was sky high.

Ha Ha .... i lost a fair bit of weight between my other half designing the rings them being made and ahead of the wedding .. weirdly my hands were affected the most . It's fairly loose if I push it out Ignore johnny dibble .. the ring is safe on my left hand ... but bulky enough that it feels " odd" and affects my left hand dexterity ... probably a mental thing , we do play punk and it could definately go flying off the right finger . Resizing the ring isn't an easy option i the uk it's engraved in latvian inside and out .

I find the Status Groove basses quite interesting. I really enjoy my twin j pickups (in a single casing) in my Warwick Fortress Masterman basses & always wanted to try a Status Groove. If I could find one for 400 quid, I'd be a happy camper 😉

Wow! That’s really, really good for a fiver, especially a ‘Ray. My Mustang weighs the same as that.
