Hi everyone I am a new member from Belfast currently on a business trip in Lisboa. Back home my wife and sweet daughters keep me smiling and motivated. I play a few guitars but my wife especially loves hearing me on my Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass in 3 Color Sunburst with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. She always wants me to bring it along whenever we go on a trip. While I am here in Lisboa I would love to find some places where I can see some beautiful guitars before heading back home. Looking forward to connecting with fellow bass enthusiasts here and sharing experiences.

WOW! That is such a lovely collection. Amazing presentation too!

*PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE * Wicked pedal! Tracks beautifully. Only selling as I’m now using multi-effect unit. In great condition (I may even have original box…can’t find at the moment m). Does an octave below and/or above. Also has an independent boost effect. Blurb here: Octavius tri-tone generator has 4 controls LO OCT, HIGH OCT, MASTER MIX and BOOST. LO OCT knob lets you set the volume of the lower octave signal produced by the pedal. HIGH OCT knob controls the volume of the higher octave signal produced by the pedal. The balance between the levels of these 2 knobs is what creates your particular octave-divided sound. Experiment with your mix, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of effects you’ll get. MASTER MIX knob lets you set the overall volume of your low and high octaves compared to your direct signal. Use the BOOST knob to control the output of your octave-divided sound. The boost function lets you dial in a solo level, whether the overdrive circuit is activated or not.

Issue with Fender Classic 50s reissue P bass
Jono Bolton replied to maryjackson's topic in Bass Guitars
I'd guess at it being the lead or input socket shorting against the cavity wall. Try sticking a bit of electrical tape on the sides of the cavity around the input and see if that sorts it. -
GreeneKing started following Shure GLXD16+
-
I love this wireless setup. I think it's the best you can buy, reassuringly expensive and worth every penny. Sadly I can't justify having it. My opportunities for using it are few and far between and sadly consist of the odd rehearsal and an even rarer gig. It is in as new condition except for the addition of a right angled transmitter lead, drawstring bag for the transmitter, velcro on the rear of the receiver, a stomp button on same and I'll include an A4 printed manual. The original power supply, leads and transmitter lead are bagged and they have never been used. Save £100 on new. Wireless System Dual band: 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz With GLXD1+ pocket transmitter, GLXD6+ pedalboard receiver and Wa 305 guitar cable Up to 8 systems simultaneously (16 with Frequency Manager) Automatic frequency setup Built-in guitar tuner Output: 6.3 mm jack Up to 12 hours of battery life Up to 60 metres range Transmitter made of metal Receiver dimensions (W x D x H): 95 x 48 x 138 mm Transmitter dimensions (W x D x H): 67 x 29 x 115 mm Total weight: 1.2 kg Includes Shure lithium-ion battery and battery charger Peter

Hi ,does Wal rhyme with Ball? or is it more like wishing "well" ? I can't recollect hearing the word

Eight is Enough (until it isn't)

I'll let you know when I finally get the feeling that I've got too many.... Currently on 94 and haven't thought it yet.... lol!

HeadlessBassist started following THE GB PORN THREAD
-
I'm a late-comer to the GB family, but had a long term loan of one of the early Goodfellow Standards back in the early 90's while my Status neck was being repaired. Acquired this early model 1988 Spitfire a couple of weeks ago in a trade at Bass Bros. I think I got the better end of the deal. The tonal punch is anvil-like and it's such a lovely thing to play and hear. Definitely my kind of bass.

I've gone and done it again....... This time it's a Mesa Boogie

At one point in my life I had 5 basses at once, which actually led me to play less. Just choosing what bass to play became overwhelming. I sold them all and started over on a clean slate to so speak. Now I have two really nice boutique basses with disctinctly different sounds and applications (although both 30” scale). Being – almost – middle-aged with small children at home and less time than ever to practice alone or rehearse with friends and with no gigs in sight, I have a strict 1-in-1-out policy when it comes to instruments.

briansbrew started following Celinder SS Humbucker Alnico Jazz Pickups
-
I bought these off Funkle at the start of this year, put into a Jazz that I build but I have since parted it out so up for sale A little damage to bottom of the pickup housing to accomodate the screws but does not impact on the pickup, here is the original listing.. Another find from my extensive and unusual parts clear-out. This is a set of Celinder SS Humbucker Alnico Jazz Pickups. Truly a unique set of pickups. I only know of one other person who has a similar set - I think it might be @Kiwi if I recall correctly. I had these made as a custom order direct from Aaron Armstrong back in 2013. I had them made for a Celinder 60's Jazz Bass I owned at that point, and they served me well when mated to a John East J-Retro. When the bass was sold, I reverted it to the original single coils. So these are humbuckers nearly identical to those in every Celinder Update Jazz bass (70s Jazz bass tributes), except they are alnico instead of ceramic. This was to give me a sound more typical of a 60's Jazz, but without the hum. It worked. (Aaron tells me the humbucker design has two coils rotated through 90 degrees, with magnets in the middle of them pressed up against a blade of steel, which in turn runs down the whole length of the middle of the pickup.) They are very low output and low impedance. They have a sound extremely near to single coils - as with other Celinder Updates - but they must be mated to an active preamp to have typical instrument level output. It's been a minute since I used them. But when removed from my Celinder, they were fully working, and I expect them to perform normally. A new set of these would probably be around £250, I think. Ask Aaron, I guess, he would tell you. Price to include postage to the UK

I really like the addition of middle solo, and bridge and middle in parallel, so it was a good swap for me.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Richard R replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I would love to be able to play by ear. The closest I get is the old joke "Do you play by ear?" "Yes" "Well clear off and play somewhere else then!" -
I finally got around to sorting midi control out via the BandHelper app and used it at the weekend's gig. I didn't enjoy double footswitch pressing to change presets on its previous outing. Using Bandhelper to automatically choose the correct preset worked very well. Using CC's to select modes, stomps and scenes, however, is less reliable, and I had to resend the midi data manually a few times But I think this is because I'm sending PC and CC messages at the same time. If I understand Bandhelper's help page correctly, I should be able to resolve this issue by adding a small delay between each one. One rather annoying thing I discovered is that my Kindle Fire doesn't support MIDI over USB. Amazon, in their wisdom, decided not to include this in their fork of Android. I bought this device a few years ago, specifically for gigs, so that I don't risk getting my more expensive iPad Pro broken or stolen. So I'm looking into getting a similarly sized and cheap 'proper' Android tablet to replace it.
