  1. Past hour
  2. hello, do you know the scale length? and what electronics are in it? I'm struggling to find the specs for this.
  3. I’ve just received my copy of Topics vol. 1, so I’m looking forward to joining in, although I can’t promise to necessarily keep up with the rest of the group! Thank you for starting this up though - it’s good to see some proper Theory and Technique action going down. And thank you @dkziemann for writing the book!
  4. Not that I need any more basses but sounds ideal for me then, as I generally boost the highs a fair bit on my Precisions, even though I`m a pick player.
  5. Depends on your definition of affordable. However, it has to be remembered that flats typically last way longer than rounds, so they might even work out cheaper in the long run. With that said, there are some for sale from JLP...
  6. 2 superb bass cabs In great condition, that have served me well but dont get used anymore and need a new home. Everything works without any issues, a couple of hex nuts missing off the back but can be easily replaced for pence if you really need to. Comes with 2 Hotcovers protective covers worth over £100. Would be interested in a trade for a Fender Mustang Bass. Specs Ashdown ABM 410H 600w 8ohm Ashdown ABM 115 300w 8ohm

  7. bump, comes with beautiful momose gigbag, 2 pickguards and bridge and pickup covers
  8. Don't stop now... I have loads more toys up for grabs! Thanks!
  9. Well, not sure what more I can add but "yay for Shep". Traded (with a bit of cash his way) for an amazing pedal, loads of good chat backwards and forwards and literally arrived 36hrs later. Absolute gem and another example of just how great Basschat and the folks that are on it are. And now I'm buying another pedal off him so I'll need to think of even more nice things to say!

    Mr

    I just came across your status update and replied there, but I'll repeat it here too (and I'll share the pic you posted there): For what it's worth, this doesn't appear to be a factory fretless (RS940) but a defretted RS924. A 940 would have no fretlines, and only tiny dot inlays near the edge of the fingerboard where the fretlines would have been, rather than inbetween fretlines. Maybe this helps lower the boundaries to have this neck refretted instead . Being a lacquered fingerboard there will be some extra work involved to do a tidy and invisible job. These are fabulous basses, I really enjoyed mine a lot when I had it, so definitely worth the effort! It was prohibitively heavy though, and nowadays I favour a narrower nut width.
  11. Ok...so I've had a LOT of interest in this bass....unfortunately for me, of the half-dozen serious offers I have had, NONE were from anyone in the UK!! 😞 So I've been looking into international shipping, and basically, including insurance and the actual cost of the packaging itself, shipping to the USA will be £500. You'll need to pay your local taxes on top of that of course (as we in the UK have to!), so this bass is not going to be cheap! However, there are only 25 of these, and none of them will be in better condition. This is a chance in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a special 4003. If you missed the boat in 2017, don't make the same mistake again! Last time, there were 25....this time: there's just the ONE! Ideally, I'd love for someone in the UK to simply turn up, look at the bass, pay the money, and drive off into the sunset....just like it was "back in the day". Anyone? Bueller. Bueller. Beuller. Anyone?!
  12. You've twice sent me gear free of charge Steve, not a great business model! All joking aside, hugely appreciated both times mate, and both still in regular use 🙏
  13. Mullarkeys tend to come as stock with Dunlop 45-105 flats, I believe. Same as Serek shorties. Those were on my old bass and sound incredible but are super spendy https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/dunlop-stainless-steel-flatwound-bass-strings/
  14. Yep, understood! Did you see the talkbass thread? There is a comment here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/installing-a-jaguar-mute-on-a-p-bass.1021488/post-25017334 | the plunger requires a 1/2 inch diameter hole, and 36 mm, or about 1 13/32 inches. This is critical, as the Tele Bass body is 1 1/2 inches thick, so one slip and you drill through the body. Seems like they say the pitch goes slightly sharp when you engage?

  16. Thanks @BigRedX. So many good points there! Agree in particular that: - we want bass synth pedal performance that is suitably glitch free, which for me is as important live where you only get one take, not the multiple you get on YT! It was actually the main driver for me opting for the polyphonic 'tracking' of the Boss SY-1 and now the SY-200 with preset options and choosing to sacrifice not having the richer synth sounds available on the FI. Delighted to hear that FIv4 has substantially improved and it's definitely back on my radar as a consequence. The MXR is also getting a lot of plaudits and being enjoyed by basschat mates who are gigging with it regularly - there's a set up difference between adding keys vs adding a pedal to a pedal board I've updated my note, I did for John, to reflect the mono vs poly tracking on the various pedals: Synth pedal review (25-10).pdf
  17. I am waiting for someone to tell me that when I'm tuning one of my basses with reverse machine heads.
  18. You're still doing better than I am! Selling things even at a loss seems rather difficult.

  20. Rehearsal is about arrangements and fluency. Even the originals band, we share stripped down versions to learn new songs, although there is experimenting. So last night we mostly were sorting out where to put stops, how many repeats etc., but on one song we made some rhythm changes that affected what I play.
  21. I’m finding it very close in quality to the Mex player series It’s brighter sounding with the ceramic pickup which is a benefit to me as my fingerstyle tone was never bright enough with other basses. Fitted Schaller strap locks now too and got a Fender gig bag FB610 to go with it
  22. It's never going to happen (I always aim to sell on here at mate's rates - maybe my mistake) but I would be inclined to do that myself. I know there are dealers on here and their pricing indicates who they are. I would be unlikely to want to sell to them.
