  1. Past hour
  2. Picked this up with a jazz I purchased. Planned to fit it in one of my basses but have never got around to it. And I’m quite sure I would pay to get it fitted and change my mind after a week as I’m really just a passive jazz type player. This means it’s not tested by myself so I don’t know if it works. Ideally like to sell it to someone who can fit and test it themselves, and is comfortable doing so. I did plan on fitting it and have purchased some extra battery terminals which I’ll include in the sale. if it doesn’t work properly then I will pay to have it posted back and refund you right away.
  3. I’d love to have an update. All gone quiet and he hope he’s ok.
  4. Hope this doesn't count a hijack but a comment above made me think perhaps someone can help identify what makes my favourite fuzz-bass sound:
  5. The asking price is £1450 and not £1700, my adding up as to what I paid for it plus the work refinishing was wrong... Here we have an early CS Jass that I acquired a few years ago It was refinished in a deep pink colour, I took off the neck and could see that it was originally a Daphne blue colour I had my Luthier strip it right back and professionally finished in the original colour that it left the factory Luckily the neck stamp and pocked stamp were intact and you can still see some of the original colour in the pocket Binding has been applied to the outer edges of the neck Gold tuners,knobs, control plate and screws are original to the bass, new gold bridge installed I had the scratchplate imported from the states which is 62-66 period correct The pickups that came with it were not that great and not original to the bass so I have installed Fender pure vintage 66 ones The gold bridge cover came with the bass so I dont know if the original one got replaced at some stage I can just about make out the date as June 1988 or 89 A battery compartment had been added at the back and a toggle switch to the control plate as an active circuit was installed but the original circuit reinstated No case came with it but I will add a Fender moulded case to keep it safe for travel Weight is 4.4 Kg's A black strap and strap locks as pictured are also included any question please fire away

  6. I'm thinking the bass may be the culprit here. That BF cab will put out pretty much exactly what you put in and it doesn't have a tweeter so shouldn't be too clangy. The MarkBass head can definitely do warm bassy traditional sounds. I'm not too sure about the TC head as I've never heard one. You've also come from an Ashdown amp which is really good at old school gooey sounds so you'll be kind of used to that - they're nowhere near as clear and exposing as the BF cab. But you've got 2 active basses which are both pretty modern sounding and it sounds like you want an old school 50s, 60s, 70s sound. They'll both struggle to get there I think. See if you can borrow a P bass or passive single pickup bass of some sort without new strings on it, turn the tone down and see if that gets you closer.
  7. I'm selling my Sterling Stingray. I bought it here on BC three years ago and although I love it I'm just not playing it so it's time to find it's new owner. It's had mostly light home use since I've had it, I've only ever done 3 or 4 gigs on it. There are three tiny marks on the paint which are hard to see, aside from that it's in top condition. It's really light, the action is low and it plays like a dream. It's currently strung with D'Addario 35-95s. I also have a white 3ply scratchplate for it, I'll throw that in too. And it comes with a decent Ibanez gig bag as well. I'd rather not get into shipping so it's collection from London N4, or a meet up somewhere convenient. Any question feel free to PM me. Cheers.
  8. MXR M85 bass distortion. Great distortion pedal in good condition. Velcro on the bottom. £90 delivered. Any questions just ask 👍
  9. Road of Bones is a favourite of mine although I haven't heard it in a while. I will have a look at it.
  10. Placeholder...
  11. 1 - amongst Us Inspired as we all are by alien music, I created this short piece in Canis Minor, building sounds on synths that portray typical sounds heard during alien encounters, including deep low bass. All dynamics have been removed to capture and portray the natural sound, feel and anxiety of being probed in a busy alien space craft hospital.
  12. Road of Bones is a classic Prog album IMO. Up there with Seconds Out. Dave
  13. Superb stuff Rob. I used to go see them in Glasgow on a Sat afternoon. They would play Echoes, Suppers Ready and I Know What i Like then add in some of their own songs. I remember buying a tape of the album and have been buying them on and off over the years. We even managed to persuade them to play our local pub gig at The Heathery bar which at the time was the biggest "pub" gig in UK holding 250-300 people if i remember correctly. Hugely popular band up here in Scotland. Unfortunately the singer Euan left which was a shame as he used to appear with all the Genesis style costumes. Just a fantastic group of musicians. Great to see them on your page. Dave
  14. Nice. Never Say Die vibes.
  15. Do they want carved top or plywood double basses? I hope they want open notes...
  16. I guess so... my knowledge is limited, but I'm assuming the Fender app does what I've seen Garageband do. I'd like to find something less mind blowing than Reaper.
  17. Ah but will the bassists all be playing the same note or some sort of chord/dischord? That's the enigma really
  18. She's currently at Bath Spa Uni on the commercial music course and absolutely loving it. Loads of playing, recording, production as well as a bit of business and all that stuff. She's in five bands now so loads of gigs.
  19. Why do they need 7 double bassists? "THE CALL is a durational performance exploring resilience, identity, and the politics of the body. The work poses the central question ‘Is the body an enabler or an entrapment?’ Rooted in ritual and endurance, Mahsa Salali stands motionless, bearing 20 kilograms of chain, connected to seven double bassists." Obvious really.
  20. Any plans to do any IQ transcriptions Rob? They’re still going strong, having just released another album “Dominion”, their 14th (not including oddities and live archive collection releases).
  21. Today
  22. Offers and part-ex considered!
  23. Caline Pressure Tank compressor, excellent condition with original box. Velcro on the bottom. £25 inc. UK postage.
  24. Excellent condition stereo reverb pedal with Hall/Spring/Room settings. Velcro on the bottom, no box. £25 inc. UK shipping
  25. Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Since acquiring four Precisions and eying up another plus also needing a Jazz, it’s become surplus. I have an addiction at the moment. I admit it. There I’ve said it. I also need an original Barefaced Compact 15 and an original Midget 😂😂😂😂 Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.
