NBD: Rare MIJ Late 60s Traditional II Jazz w/ Matching Headstock
sPiKi replied to wateroftyne's topic in Bass Guitars
Lovely bass. Looks great in the video. If you can access Fender Japan's site. these are currently sold as part of their MIJ Traditional Series. -
I really like the vibe of this '66 Precision that Mike Long has at the moment. It's tempting me to try a C neck again. It's all there, all original, even the case, and the weight is great. I have a guitar here which he would probably straight trade for........ hmm. https://www.atbguitars.com/1966-fender-precision-bass Rob

Forget flats and rounds - these are curlies!

Looking at the pics, they appear to be short and curlies. -

Thomastik Jazz flatwounds 6-string set (i.e. a 5-string set with an extra top C). I bought these off here in the hope they would fit either a body-thru 34" or a 35" scale bridge loading bass, but unfortunately they were too long for both. They apparently fit multi-scale/fan fret basses like Dingwalls etc, and would probably fit a body-thru 35" scale bass. Specs here: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/thomastik-infeld-jazz-flat-wound-super-long-scale/ THESE WILL NOT FIT A 'STANDARD' 34" SCALE BASS! £35 posted (or happy to listen to offers?)

LaBella Ian Martin Allison Signature Super Polished 5-string set for sale. Bought these recently, just not the sound I was going for (at all!). They're much more like bright stainless rounds than flats. Specs here: https://www.labella.com/product/asp-45125-ian-martin-allison-signature-strings-5-string-set/ Used for a bit of noodling, a couple of practices and one gig. They're cut for a 4/1 headstock 34" scale bass, but loads left on the silks. £40 posted?

Ive always used a pick. Not proud of it, it's a habit I can't get out of. After 30+ years ive settled on using 1.52mm most of the time. Those EB large shield ones seem to work for me as they are quite grippy. I do very occasionally use a felt or leather pick, but only for certain songs. Always struggled with tone though. A BDDI went a long way for a couple of decades, but just recently I got an EBS Microbass 3 (and a Nux preamp). Both have sweepable mids and both have been a real eyeopener. I think in someways the BDDI was working as it was reducing some of the attack, but now I realise I was losing too much of the basses natural tone as well.

Once you get beyond promoting your next gig or your mates mates posting their holiday snaps most social media is fakery to some extent. Whether it's lifestyle influencers faking an idyllic, carefree existence or the fitness fanatics who enthuse about a healthy lifestyle while neglecting to mention their own heroic steroid intake, or the straight up thieves trying to steal your money with crypto scams. Even most of the funny animal clips are clearly staged. Add in that posting content can also be highly lucrative and it's not that suprising that a lot of content creators don't seem to know or much care where the moral boundary is between presenting the best version of yourself and outright deception. I'm not sure a lot of the audience it's aimed at is that bothered either, right up to the moment the outrage bandwagon starts rolling. -
I find between 1mm and 3mm about the best gauge for me

As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

Boss RV-6 for sale, this one is mint and in perfect working order, no box, collection welcome or UK insured postage for £8.50 BOSS RV-6 Reverb Effects Pedal Combining high-end sound and wide-ranging versatility, the BOSS RV-6 takes pedal-based reverb to the next level. Reaching beyond the capabilities of previous generations, this powerful stomp employs the latest tech and legendary BOSS know-how to make it easy to get amazing reverb tones instantly. From subtle rooms to modern shimmer effects to long, evocative reverbs, the RV-6 envelops your tone in lush ambient spaces that endlessly inspire. BOSS RV6, Simply Great-Sounding Reverbs Packing the latest BOSS DSP and updated algorithms, the BOSS RV-6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal. Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like Room, Hall, and Plate, dial up swirling richness with the Modulate setting, or surf it up with a vintage-style Spring reverb. Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the effect depth to your playing touch, providing deep, immersive reverb that won’t turn your tone to mud. And modern players will love the new Shimmer and Reverb+Delay modes. Dialed-In Reverb Sounds at Your Command The BOSS RV6 makes getting high-quality reverb sounds with your guitar quick and easy—just select a sound mode, tweak the knobs to taste, and play. But while its operation is simple, the RV-6’s sound is rich and sophisticated. Under the hood, each mode includes a huge array of detailed reverb parameters, all perfectly tuned for guitar by the BOSS engineers with direct input from many pro players and sound engineers. Even as you adjust the selected mode with the Time and Tone knobs, many parameters are simultaneously adjusted inside to create the ideal voicing for every setting. Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O While the BOSS RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the BOSS RV6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.

If I need to play with a pick, it's always at least a 3mm one as it's the closest to finger style tone.

Bigger as in gauge I agree but there becomes a compromise of playing technique if too thick

And the bigger the pick (plectrum for the others), the fatter the tone.
