  1. Past hour
  2. There is a modest , underrated and highly talented bass maestro who is revered and lauded on Basschat ..Danny Sapko. Worth checking out . Davie 504 is better entertainment though imho ..” check mate ! “ Lots of headless basses with varying designs and quality control issues ( cort space 5 , Ibanez EHB etc )
  3. Reclusiarch Aurelius on SoundCloud seems to be based in Krasnodar in Russia though, not Gloucestershire! No, I am not interested in joining this band, I was scrolling through JMB looking for dep opportunities (I am such a tart). Consequently it doesn’t matter directly to me, but there is a BC tradition of highlighting (for entertainment purposes) delusional or wildly unrealistic band ads. It will matter to someone though, when they sign up to goodness-knows-what in the hope of a shortcut to fame and fortune. I do hope the site rules allow us to discuss things that don’t even matter, otherwise pages of discussion on fret position markers would have to be deleted.
  4. David put up for sale a set of flat wound guitar strings, which my co-jammer friend quite fancied so I bought them and a couple of days picked them up at my local InPost collection point at my local shop. Nice and easy and pleasant buy. Thank you.
  5. My sound , whilst not really MY signature sound but the sound I love to play with, I stole from Christian McBride. He often runs a Marshall 100watt guitar amp along side his bass rig (something the guitarist in my last band asked me to do and I thought he was nuts, little did I know back then!!!). It adds just a bit of grit to the tone and gives it more of that bridge pickup bite, but with a lot of neck pickup added so you have more bass without having to turn the bass up on the amp or on your active bass. I get it by running a valve preamp into my bass power amp and have recently started using a cab at home again rather than going into my mixer and monitors, sounds so much better using a real cab. Good example is live version of It’s On by George Duke available on facetube. Edit; Also see Reggie McBride on When Love Comes To Town, kind of similar tone on the bridge bit. I stole my guitar tone too but thats another story.
  6. To the OP. Are you interested in joining this band? If not why does it even matter?
  7. much later.... I discovered that the output stage of my Orange OB1-500 has a problem. If anyone thinks they can fix that then it's available to collect for a nominal beer token.
  8. SWMBO has decreed that I have enough basses... Problem is she can't tell the difference between a MIM Fender Jazz and an American Professional II Precision... as long as they're both in Sunburst. So, this one is being quietly sold to make way... It's a 2014 Standard Jazz (Mexico), has a couple of dings - one on the head and the other just next to the bridge - both fairly small. Otherwise in good shape - usual scuffs on pickguard and pickup covers. Hard case included in sale. Cash on collection from Effingham (near Leatherhead/Guildford) in Surrey. You're most welcome to try before you buy.

  9. Today
  10. I've owned both a Lakland Skyline 55-60 and a Sadowsky Metroexpress (the first generation) and would generally describe the Sadowsky as "slimmer". The neck is slimmer, the body is a bit smaller and I think the string spacing is a bit tighter but I never really pay attention to that. I was really impressed with the sustain on the Sadowsky. The preamp is fine, not great but workable.
  11. “The main challenge will be learning choreography.” I’d say a real challenge for the drummer.
  12. I dread to think how many marketing emails from ScottsBassLessons you’ve missed out on in the last 15 years 👀
  13. Where is my 1983 Sting reissue?
  14. I’d be interested in that lol
  15. Hi, yes I do. The WCA 115 is a 300-watt, 8-ohm with a single 15-inch speaker. Sounds amazing. Hope that helps. Cheers, Matt.
  16. Basically my situation too. Bae money for any of the shiny new stuff, still nice to look 😂
  17. Weird that the basses didn't get the redesign that the guitar range got. New colours look great. Although they've done that annoying thing of having the colour on a 4 string model I'd want on the 5 string 😅

  19. Weird layout of foot switches. It's as though they don't want to make it user friendly.
  20. Interesting. Do D'addario make Fender's flatwounds too? I had a set on a 5 string a while back and I was super impressed with them, they were fairly inexpensive too. I wonder what set they were based on...
  21. Form factor Is going to be off putting for some I think, I love the current Octamizer and the new sounds on the down filter sound excellent, never use an octave up tho. Compressor looks good - the metering looks a really great addition, I’m not quite sure what to make of the EQ, I think with a passive bass it’d probably work really well
  22. Whatever bass you can think of, Sire have made a cheaper copy - and usually decent quality
  23. It’s a lovely preamp but I wouldn’t say it has a “tubey” sound at all? It’s very hifi IME
  24. I have a Cort. I like its build quality but not its bartolini's I have several Yamaha 5's. Again, love the build quality but pick up's on some are muddy and lack lustre (RBX and BBN. The older BB's are a different ball game) I have no experience of Sadowsky. How would you rate them compared with Lakland 55 or G + L Tribute 2500 ( but outside of my current budget 😕)
