  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks Tom. 👍 I can’t fault it - TBH, it’s more than I need as we always DI. Hence, I’ll got for a little combo as a backup. This needs to be cranked up and used! 😀
  3. The tones from those pickups sound great, it looks fantastic, no doubt plays great but the smaller banjo frets and cost aren't for me. I am surprised their import basses are now 2k+. I realise manufacturing location doesn't mean much now, heck look at Apple and how insanely high quality their products are, but....it's a lot for a modern take on a PJ from China.
  4. The way I see the difference between P and Jazz is that I always think that a P bass sound blooms. it's like a lazy sound, not punchy and fast transients, the sound slowly forms. A Jazz on the other hand is more punchy and faster attack. YMMV but that's how I see both basses. I don't see one as being better than another, in fact one of the best bass sounds I've ever heard is this one at 1:51: I've been reading this thread on and off since it started and two videos always came to mind when thinking about the difference between P and Jazz and that is Rush playing Roll the Bones Live: Precision: Jazz: The Jazz to me clearly sounds the most suited to the song. It's not that the Precision is bad, it just doesn't work for me here just like I don't think a Jazz would have worked on Dragon Attack above
  5. The Czech-Ease is a full sounding bass with an abbreviated body that makes it more portable than its full-bodied cousins without losing the true sound and feel of a double bass. The instrument is one of choice of Dave Holland, Esmeralda Spalding and Chris Wood.. These basses are now discontinued, but this particular bass is in perfect condition with no marks or scratches. It has only had one owner and limited home studio use, and has not been used for gigs. It comes fitted with a Gage Realist pickup and adjustable bridge. It also comes with a well-padded gig bag.

  6. Let it go - Idina Menzel
  7. Originally bought when I switched in-ears, the bass player in me made me buy 2 - you know, just in case one went faulty 🙄 Either that or it's OCD 🤔 I pretty much take two of everything to gigs. These are two channel headphone amplifiers so you can either take a stereo feed from the desk and have your own level control for each channel or do what I did and take a signal directly from the end of my pedal board into 1 channel and the second from the desk. That way I could mix all of the ban minus me in one channel and then bring my bass in using the other. Overkill but I liked it. Anyway, the first one was on my pedal board and at some point I took the sticker from the Radial Tonebone that I had and put in on top. It also has velcro on the bottom so is ready to mount on your pedalboard. The second one is as new and still sealed. Collection welcome or postage will be £5 for each one.
  8. Depends on the crack on the top I guess. The pressure of a bridge could see the whole thing implode which would be a shame.
  9. Mesa Diesel cab in great condition for its age. 400w 8 ohm. I bought this last year from @Chimike on this forum so from a reputed and respected basschatter. I’ve not used it anger, just low volume at home. I do have another one as well if someone is looking for a pair. Traynor amp not included, although it is for sale.
  10. I’m having a big clear out of basses, strings and pedals. Pretty much anything that I am no longer going to be using so that I can reduce my collection to just 1 main bass, a back up and the pedals that I need. I have always loved single coil P basses but I am never going to have the opportunity to play this live so I may as well let it go to a good home. Used for 1 gig in 2023, it's pretty much in mint condition, right down to the fact that the plastic is still on the scratchplate. It also comes fitted with a set of Ernie Ball 2810 flats that I had already bought for a 5 string. Collection preferred but I am happy for you to arrange a courier as I have plenty of packaging materials to ensure that this is well packed.

  11. Would consider trades for a medium or short scale something, or a EUB. What do you have?
  12. End of half-term bump!
  13. There quite different cabs The Monza is fairly “flat” as in uncoloured whereas the BF two 10 is more old school vibe and sounds great when pushed in a “Rock” environment. I used to use a U700 with 2 BF two 10 and the was loud a hell. I think you might need to go one way or the other cab wise.. Or swap them both for a Super Twin
  14. I’m having a big clear out of basses, strings and pedals. Pretty much anything that I am no longer going to be using so that I can reduce my collection to just 1 main bass, a back up and the pedals that I need. Boss LMB-3 - no box - £60 Behringer UO300 Octaver - £25 Behringer BDI21 Preamp - never left the house - £20 TC Electronic Blood Moon Phaser - £30 All pedals have velcro underneath ready to attach to a pedal board. Collection welcome and postage will come in at £5 per pedal.
  15. That's about 30% more stretch!
  16. I’m having a big clear out of basses, strings and pedals. Pretty much anything that I am no longer going to be using so that I can reduce my collection to just 1 main bass, a back up and the pedals that I need. when my band moved from backline to IEMS I must have went through about 15-20 preamp pedals before I found the one that I liked. Being a huge Gallien Krueger fan this was one that I had to try. It's modelled after the legendary 800RB amp we all know and love and comes complete with effects loop, DI out, etc. Honestly I didn't think that I'd sell this. This pedal and a very special bass that I am planning to list shortly go together perfectly. I bought this directly from the manufacturer in the US and it cost me, after taxes, about £350 so who knows how much they will cost after the TACO tax is added on. An interesting story that adds nothing to the value whatsoever is that this pedal was at one point misdirected to Beef Island on it's way to me. Yes that's right, there's a place called Beef Island just west of Puerto Rico. Collection welcome but for postage I'd like to send this Special Delivery to ensure that it's properly insured and for mainland UK that is going to come in at £10. Tracked 24 only covers up to £150.
  17. A badly cut nut is the obvious culprit. How much of a gap is there between the bottom of the string and the top of the first fret? Are the other strings the same height off the first fret and showing the same problem? Have you tried a different string?

  19. Wall Warts are fine for pedals so long as they can be mounted on a pedal board and never touched again. The problem that I have with is that the low voltage plug is non-locking and the cable easily damaged compared with an IEC connecter cable.

  21. Erica Synths Pico System III Eurorack Version This is a fantastic two oscillator modular system with sequencer, delay and mixer. You can also use ‘preset’ cards to access sounds instantly. It comes with 5 pre patched cards and 5 to create your own sounds. One I’ve already patched to make a simple test preset for the sequencer which can easily be desoldered and reset. The unit is boxed and comes with manual, splitter, cards, overlay ‘patches’ and blank cards. It is in excellent condition and includes the ribbon lead to connect to your eurorack. The patch leads in the first photograph are not included. Note that this is the eurorack version and not the standalone version. A great modular synth in excellent condition.

  22. Cre8audio West Pest Westcoast Style Standalone Semi Modular Synth Here’s my West Pest synth. It’s a design based on Don Buchla’s west coast style synthesiser concept. Made by Cre8audio in partnership with Pittsburg Modular. It’s got a built in sequencer and is very powerful for a small form single oscillator synth. It can be used as a standalone synth in its case with independent PSU (included) or added to a eurorack system. It can be patched with any modular eurorack or similar module or synth. In excellent condition. I own two with one in my eurorack so this isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Great little easy to use synth to introduce you to modular synthesis and patching. It comes boxed with four patch leads, PSU and quick start sheet. Full manual online. Price includes UK postage. Info here - https://www.cre8audio.com/westpest
  23. I played flats exclusively for several years, chiefly Chromes or Cobalts. Went back to rounds (Elixirs) a couple of years ago and now I just can’t do flats any more - I’ll put a set on a bass, try it for a bit, then go ‘nah’ and put the rounds back on. Strange.
  24. My first foray into modding a bass which I have dubbed “The Paiste Bass “ due to an old Paiste sticker on the rear.. This is an old plywood body that had been rough painted by the previous owner. It had Warlock shaped horns which I have taken off and rounded into a more traditional shape.I have sanded back the paint, oil finished the bare wood and then clearcoated with gloss nitrocellulose. It features a new gloss maple Chinese neck which I have rolled the fretboard edges dressed the frets so they have lovely smooth fret ends. The decal is blended in.with. Polyurethane clearcoat. I can guarantee that there is not another bass in existence like this one. You can see from the photos, which form part of the description, that it has a heavy relic vibe. The action and sound are lovely and it plays far above its price point. It was not created to look perfect but to be a no-nonsense gigging beast that performs brilliantly without the worry of it getting knocked, dinked or dented. I have tried to make it something that really works for the gigging player. It is truly more than the sum of its parts. As I built this bass, I can bore you in great detail with its journey along with photos as well . SPECS: Bass weight 8.7lbs Wilkinson PJ pickups Wilkinson Bridge Bloodstone Guitars upgraded PJ electronics - volume/volume/tone Nitro gloss finish on body Gloss poly Maple neck No fret wear as neck is new Truss rod fully working Schaller type strap buttons D’Addario EXL165 strings 0.45 - 0.105 Fully set up and intonated ready to go Again, this bass plays like an absolute dream and I would be happy to keep it in my collection and to gig with it. The bass comes with a new 10mm padded Donner gig bag. Any questions or queries, please message me and I can send more photos as well if you wish. Collection from Fleet, Hampshire and you are welcome to give it a trial play on collection to ensure that it all works and you are happy. I am absolutely open to sensible offers.
