For sale lovely birch green Fender player 2 i bought early this year and have recently been using this or P bass to see what fits what i'm doing and the P bass has won - for that middy growl. Have bought a Squire CV Jag as back up - so now this faces being an occasional bass and it's a great player, so should be someones to use. Made in Mexico these are now really good little basses. Great QC Had luthier sort the frets, which he levelled and ran glue under each to make sure they pinged and bevelled off the slightly rough edges, basically your getting a Plex job but done by the hands of someone with 40 years experience. So now with the rolled edge finger board, satin finish, it is great to play. Dark rosewood board, with maple neck, the body colour looks even better IRL. Weighs about 8.5lb but balances great. So lightweight and versatile. Strung with new Ernie Ball Super Slinky 40-100 - very nice action. Very useable pickups. Comfortable bridge for palm muting. Priced to sell - collect from Clitheroe or meet up or can post to UK in box for £20-

It’s bang on 3.6kgs so under 8lbs nice and light -
Will do. It may take a bit of time but you will be able to see each shot as soon as I've posted it. I'll try and do a few more this evening. -
Looks great. Some clay dots would had been the proverbial icing... and complimented the colours.

Id still love to try the Tone X one, but it seems more hassle and expense to get the Chocolate Plus working with it.

I had a similar issue playing a 4/4 and 3/4 during the same period, the 4/4 with guts for bluegrass and the 3/4 with steels for Jazzier stuff (I doubt anyone who knows Jazz would recognise my playing as Jazz BTW). I hate to say this but I can't help thinking that - as I found - it come down more to listening to yourself than to instrument mechanics. I'm sure - at least I hope - that others will have more helpful advice 👍

I have the same…..it sounds realy like an Alembic….. -
Here is my new, *nearly* finished acoustic bass board. I just need a better power supply and a couple of nicer quality leads, but it is fine for now. I have room for another pedal if needed. I was thinking of getting a Zoom MS-60B, though not sure if there would be much requirement for effects in any potential acoustic setup.

In which case we've met lol I'm coming to the show at the C&H in a couple of weeks, so Ill find you all being well lol -
I have 2 basses I use regularly. One is a laminate Chinese slapper. The other is a carved Westbury (also Chinese) which I use for jazz and swing. But they have different neck scales. So swapping between them plays havoc with the intonation, particularly in the upper registers and thumb position. One solution suggested by a luthier is to carve a new nut to shorten the scale of the laminate bass and make both basses the same. This sounds expensive, and I would be spending money on the inferior instrument. I have read that when players hire a bass with a scale they aren't used to, they will slip the bridge slightly off the f-hole notches to tweak the scale. Do you think that might work for me? I would doing it on the laminate, which presumably has a more robust top the carved one. Tone wise it's not really an issue, because the laminate is kept really heavily damped down to control feedback.

Reverb buyer "offer" does it smell scammy to you?
Beedster replied to p4ul's topic in General Discussion
Sadly these days I just walk away at the slightest sniff of scam, both as buyer and seller. Luckily most scammers are lazy and generic so they're easy to spot, but some are certainly more subtle, and a few are downright cunning. But for me there is a 100% watertight rule, trust your gut; if it feels dodgy, shut it down. There is a very good scientific database behind our evolved and largely subconscious ability to detect deception and cheating in others. But there's a problem and scammers understand that problem very well; the apprehension and anxiety that feeds into our gut feeling can be over-ridden by hope and its cognitive consequences; "I feel like it's dodgy (anxiety) but I want it to be legit (hope) and think how good it would be if it was....". Excitement! Anxiety is an evolutionarily ancient and tried and trusted emotion. Hope and excitement less so. Always trust your anxiety 👍 Apols for lecture, been a long week and i need a beer
