The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Obrienp replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I guess big boy prices, big boy bass. Shame in a way but the original models didn’t sell well and they seem to have concluded that the scale length had something to do with that. I wish them well but I think these are going to be even less successful at this price. -
dombennison started following 2002-2004 Fender Precision Bass CIJ

Great sounding and playing Fender P Bass. Crafted in Japan, upgraded pickup - now a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound. Plenty of dings and scrapes but it all adds to the mojo. Feels like a nicely worn in bass. Well set up and sounds just like a good P bass should. Nice slim neck, very smooth finish and very easy to play. Includes gator hardcase Looking for £800 for this - no trades I'm afraid. Collection only from Garforth near Leeds for now - may be able to ship at buyer's cost after next week as I should have a guitar box around.

Remastered doesn't mean its any better
Cato replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I remeber being hugely underwhelmed by Led Zeppelin Remasters back in the 90s, especially after all the hype tjere was at the time To be fair I was a poor student at the time and didn't have a high end hi fi system, but to me there was little difference between Remasters and the Led Zep albums I already had on cd, meaning I'd essentially bought a superfluous compilation album of stuff I already owned. I've been skeptical of remastered rereleases ever since. -
I don't even thing you do even - main jack TRS is stereo .... You can use the expression for stereo if you want to use a pair of TS cables or something. Is it just me, but I don't get the stereo thing, I'm guessing it makes more sense for recording and non live stuff?

KingBollock started following Pick and Fingers!
-
I use 3mm Dunlop Primetone picks and get a very fingery sounding tone from them. They do a rounded tip version, too, which sound even more fingery. I never actually play with fingers, I keep a selection of picks for getting different tones and attacks.
-
As I understand it they are having supply issues with Hotwires. I was hoping to stock up as well.

Skinnyman started following Pedaltrain Metro20 and Nano+ and carry case and Zoom A1 Four
-
Here we have a Zoom A1 Four. It’s not seen very much use (gigged once), mainly because my plans to play acoustic on a couple of songs with the band were scuppered when that band imploded and I could never convince the next band to do any Eagles stuff. Anyway, it’s in excellent condition. Sadly, I no longer have the box or original USB adaptor but I do have the XLR-to-3/4” adaptor that came with it for using with violin or wind instruments. I’ll add in a generic USB adaptor and cable and make sure it’s well wrapped if posting. £50 collected/local drop-off or £55 if posted. Thanks for looking.
-
I don’t, I barely get enough channels to play mono live let alone stereo.
-
I can see why folks might be irked by having to choose between stereo and expression. Shame they couldn’t have made the normal audio output into a TRS socket for the stereo option. Compromises always have to be made somewhere; like in the C4, you can either have stereo output or an external loop function but not both.
-
Yeah this one is mental, examples like “I can’t see a way when using the jack for expression that the same jack could be stereo….. what a failure, I 100% need all these features all the time.” “Bought the pedal this morning, it arrived, it makes a terrible coffee, it’s going back. It’s basically ruined my life.” I’m exaggerating but I’m also not 😂 it’s a pedal, useful maybe, fun sure, necessary 🤷🏻♂️

That's 'cos everything IS pricey these days!

Excellent condition (pedal almost ‘as new’, box is a little more beaten) MXR Studio Comp. This is famously EXACTLY the same circuit as the MXR Bass Comp, but with a different enclosure. MXR did this to sell it more effectively to the guitar market. To be fair, I think it looks smarter than the Bass Comp. This is MXR’s take on an 1176 comp I believe. Not much else to say, solid pedal, nice transparent sound, effective compression. Cool. £120 inc UK postage. No trades unless you have a Guild Starfire II in ‘Natural’ or a Sire P5R 5 string in white (+money your way of course 😅). Cheers Si

casapete replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I’m never sure whether it’s a good thing to interfere with stuff retrospectively. There are arguments for leaving stuff as they were - of the time / how the artist wanted it / equipment it was mixed to be played back on etc etc, with the flip side being altering things to try and offset the original recordings being badly recorded & mixed to make them more ‘correct’ and suitable for modern times. Personally I believe unless the originals were really catastrophic then it’s best to let them remain as they were intended, warts and all. -
String tree retainer for a Sire P5 bass
neepheid replied to rainbowreality's topic in Repairs and Technical
Ah, fair dos - if you've got no existing drill holes then fit what pleases you most! The advantage of the Hipshot is that all three string are quick release, at the expense of taking up a little more real estate. The Sire one is more compact, but the middle string is captive. Pick your poison... -
String tree retainer for a Sire P5 bass
rainbowreality replied to rainbowreality's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks so much for the info! I've had a look at this and the dimensions of the important bits seem to pretty much match the Hipshot. My neck has no drill holes yet for the retainer so will go for the lighter Hipshot - I've put Gotoh 525's on already to lessen the neck dive so may as well keep the weight down! -
