  1. Past hour
  2. This is a special one... Swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and fretboard with black blocks. The full Sandberg masterpiece treatment, including vibration and heat, and some of the best heavy ageing available. I need to properly weigh and photograph this over the next few days, but it's the lightest solidbody bass I have here by quite a margin. UK Shipping absolutley doable, collection welcome. Comes with high quality Sandberg gigbag, and a spare set of pickups (white covers). Any and all questions very welcome! . .
  3. The Joe Dart III Sterling Short Scale got a first run out last weekend. Lovely to play it has to be said.
  4. The old SWR amps have no sub bass filtering whatsoever unless retrofitted. Push a bass string and watch the cone move in synch.
  5. There are some excellent videos on YouTube that talk about how to get the best out of a compressor with bass. Understanding a compressor is a really useful skill as a bassist. Another thing to do is understand how changes in EQ affect the sound, not just solo but in a band context too.
  6. Saw Broken Peach Last night. What a gig. Those 3 ladies have fantastic voices and so much energy. Nice to see a band really enjoying themselves.
  7. Today
  8. Cross terminology here, by below I meant 1-6th fret 😅 so our experiences appear to be the same. Just to add though, after a few hours more with this pedal, almost all my negativity faded away. Yes the aforementioned retriggering isn't ideal, but the tracking is actually great once you learn to play to it. I adore the thing!
  9. Same here. Especially if you're recording in the control room (or at home) with a lot of electronic gear around you.
  10. The port will add noticeably more bass. I hope you will be happy with it. For the jam session see if you can get the cab in a corner and the bass will be reinforced by the room.
  11. I've tried the solid connectors and they fall out quite easily. I was amazed. They also make the whole thing more cumbersome. For the majority of gigs I use the wireless just for soundcheck. However I'm going to get one of these Levy's pouches and make up a lead. The reason I bought the solid adaptors was to eliminate buzz rather than anything else.
  12. Isn't it a velcro wrap around a two-part handle? Less convenient than a one piece handle which my older version of the case has, although it does mean that the handle cradles the case rather than the case hanging from the handle. Not an issue with the light headless basses and headed guitars I carry in it, but possibly an issue with a Les Paul.
  13. Future Impact V4 or V4 VIP would allow you to trigger the synth oscillators using your bass.
  14. Just filling in with my brother-in-laws band Goo supporting Marmozets. Such a fun gig! Gutted I didn’t get more time in Bristol, we had to shoot off early.
  15. Oops sorry I don't know how that double-posted! Thanks for answering anyway. Edit to add: you may also have posted this already but does 'dx7-compatible' mean it shares the 6-op structure and algorithms? Are the operators sine only?
  16. Currently on BBC4. The Who from Glastonbury 2007. Pino doing a fine job on bass with a massive sound.
  17. The handles on the 112 are not in the right place for a balanced lift and carry.
  18. Do not underestimate this make of pickups, Delano are excellent,
  19. Yesterday
  20. I'd seriously love to relieve you of the burden of bumping this, but now is definitely the wrong time for me to be weighing out for this. I'll keep coming back to it just to torture myself though. Somebody buy it - please!

  22. Argh, I just accidentally lost the best FM bass patch I’ve created so far. Dexed always defaults to slot 1 when saving and I clicked too hastily. So annoyed.
  23. You already ask that earlier in the thread and I answered:
  24. Ashdown amps are usually flat with the controls at 12 o'clock.
  25. Do the modern Ashdown amps have plenty of treble bite and high end sizzle?
  26. Had some messages and interest, but nothing has come of it surprisingly! A very pretty brilliant sounding passive Stingray in a noice colour. I tried to see if you could only play rage on it, and it turns out you can play other things!? Plot twist of the ages! 😉 But seriously, this is a really nice bass that actually proper surprised me with the sound. It’s got some beef behind it. Even an inbuilt boost.
  27. Hi Steve, It's great to know you're out there somewhere and there's still interest in these basses. I bought a Chieftain from an auction a couple of years ago. Serial number P.010. It was in a very sorry state but I've almost got it playable - just need to sort out the electronics and dress the frets. It's a great bass and I can't wait to get it gigging again. Thanks for all the info.
