  1. Past hour
  2. Its actually an Overwater J4 Contemporary that they put together from spares they had when taking samples to Tanglewood. They only made a few of these so no serial numbers etc. Its a decent bass but i was finding it a bit heavy in the 2nd set and moved to my trusty VM4 for last 5 or 6 songs. Part of the problem was i hadn't gigged for 4 weeks so my back was feeling it. It sounded ok but i really need more time to get the best out of it. I had dropped the string height at the nut and raised the neck pick up by 5mm but still hadn't adjusted the bridge pick up to balance it so it was a bit bass heavy and lacked a bit of mid drive. I'll get that sorted this week and might give it another go. I like the look of it in the pics. The other thing was it was a lot hotter than my Sandberg and i had to tweak amp volume a bit at change over. I believe there are gain pots in the control cavity that would drop the gains from the pick ups more in line with my Sandberg. I think its Kent Armstrong pick ups and pre-amp. Dave
  3. PRICE IS IN EUROS: €4000. Hello, For sale is my made in Canada Dingwall Super P. Fantastic bass, all setup. I will post a picture with proof of ownership on Sunday, when I get home. I accept trades only for 4 string Fender Precison Custom Shop, single coil or split coil. Sale and trade only for European Union or Switzerland. Price is firm and in Euros. Thank you.
  4. After years of everyone taking issue with Waves business practice of always running sales, nearly every plugin maker is going the same route and/moving to a subscription model. Claro is really good. It lacks a couple of key features for me (being able to raise/lower the overall volume post EQ, dynamic EQ) but for 20 quid it is marvellous. I use Listen Hub a lot. It really helps to bring into context how crap my rough mixes are!
  5. Make the internal volume and port area and length the same as the original box. Wire the drivers series/parallel, use whatever type jack is on your other cab.
  6. It never even crossed my mind it was a fretless all those years ago in the mid 90s when I first learnt it. Always loved the bubbling, parpy, slurred tone. The scales fell from my eyes when I heard the isolated track and someone pointed out it was a fretless. Blindingly obvious now! All those bits I though were string bends…
  7. I might mention that this is a very good travel bass: full scale, and still so tiny.
  8. I bagged Claro and Listen Hub for silly pennies the other day after snagging IK's Arc 4 for £25. I have a reference mic already so this has been a super nice upgrade to my studio along with some ridiculous deals that have been appearing on https://audioplugin.deals such as Sonible's smart plugin series. Deals! Everywhere!
  9. What's the blueburst bass dude??
  10. The head on my Markbass MB58R combo already has a lid on it upon removal. These little things make me happy 😊

  11. Couple of pics from Sat nights gig with Blockbustarz just appeared from Auld Gambling Hoose in Alloa. Excuse the wig, it was a new one i was trying out for a friend. 😂 It needs a bit of trimming for the next gig. Couldn't see thru the darn thing. Dave
  12. Excellent bass, and with that harmonic harp inside the body, far superior to the actual models tone wise. I had a few of these over the years and always liked them a lot. GLWYS.

  14. He has a small team but I'm not sure whether it's hierarchical or flat. My wait is three years and counting....! If/when it's done, I'll post them over on GC. The guitar is the MSG body shape with custom Armstrong HSH pickups and a Kahler trem and a through neck with a figured camphor top.
  15. A while ago, my trusty old PJB Suitcase took a shit and died after many years of faithful service. Smoke from the amp, acrid smells, the works. It’s been replaced by a Tonehammer and an Ampeg SVT 212 cab. It’s brilliant, but the cab is a bit much for a rehearsal or a small gig. I need something smaller for that, really. So I was thinking of converting the old Suitcase into an occasional cab to fill that gap. I’ve gutted it, removed the amp etc. As it stands, it’s an enclosure with the 4 little 4B speakers in there. My guess is that I need to wire them up to a jack socket using some kind of wiring chocolate block, plug in the Tonehammer and hopefully not immediately burst into flames or die. Anyone done anything similar? Any advice/stern words of warning most appreciated…
  16. To be honest, top build quality is not necessary from the US (yes, there are smaller companies like Suhr). But I am amazed how good sounding instruments they are able to push out from certain companies. We are waiting for pictures!
  17. Selling my stunning, rare original Godin hollowbody fretless, as it does not get enough use these days and unfortunately, I need the money to finance another purchase. These basses were handcrafted in Canada, and this is the original Acoustibass version with LR Baggs pre-amp, and a clever 12 time metal harp system attached below the bridge that resonates in sympathy with the top. This creates a complex and rich tone and makes it the closest thing to an actual double bass. These basses are far superior to the later A4 and A5 basses from the same manufacturer. It features a single-piece chambered, black, mahogany body, with aged white binding, gold tuners, a solid spruce top, hard maple neck, and an ebony unlined fingerboard. The piezo pickup is boosted by the LR Baggs preamp, that features volume control and a 3-band equalizer. The preamp is powered by a 9 volt battery. A fresh battery can be installed by unscrewing and lifting the cover of the amp. Note that if the battery is drained, the bass does not have a passive fallback option, and it will provide no output to your amp. This copy is from 1991. I verified the serial number with Godin to confirm. I bought this bass in the Netherlands (sticker on headstock), as I am Dutch, and brought it with me to Wales. Is is in fantastic condition. There are 2 or 3 very minor spots near the pre-amp, which I struggled to photograph. You would not notice them unless you looked for it. Other than that the bass is immaculate. It has been professionally serviced last in 2022. At that point the jack socket was replaced by a superior product (the original had deteriorated and drained the battery even when not plugged in), the electrolytic capacitors in the pre-amp were replaced, all amp sliders were cleaned and treated, and finally the fingerboard was sanded and oiled. It is currently fitted with flatwounds, with a nice low action and no string buzz. It comes with its original hard case. The case tolex shows some signs of wear (see pictures), but the case itself is in great condition and the bass fits snug and safe. You can hear this actual bass on recordings that I played on, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKkZ4MSWmB4&list=RDGKkZ4MSWmB4&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZtZ1gu0uHs&list=RDkZtZ1gu0uHs&start_radio=1 and most recently https://walsaurus.bandcamp.com/track/time-has-told-me Ideally, I’d like the buyer to collect in Mid-Wales (you can try out the bass), or meet up within reasonable distance. Alternatively, I can ship within the UK as well at the buyer’s cost.
  18. These were a big deal in the unplugged era of the ‘90s . Bargain ! Glwts

  22. I’m getting to grips with a Roland pro mixer x. Annoyingly, this has just been released and looks like a good new alternative. It doesn’t offer multiple inputs, but has a good internal mic and some effects through an app. https://blackstaramps.com/polargo/
  23. Is it just him building? That’s a lot of orders if it’s a one-man operation?! Like…looooong wait times? Si

  25. Thanks. I think this is where I'm heading.
