Oooh, I’d not spotted that.

Very nice. You may not have the new body construction, but you do have the new bridge, the first one I’ve seen in the wild.

SteveXFR replied to Useless Eustace's topic in General Discussion
A bassist who plays a simple part perfectly in time is far better than one who plays a complex part with sloppy timing. Understanding when to stay simple and when to go for it is also an important skill and a skill no guitarist has. -
I'm winding everything back now and having a clearout of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM

Yes, thats called jazz get some in person lessons to get your basic technique right. Bad habits can cause problems further on down the road -
Cort A4 with John East Uni Preamp. The preamp I fitted myself. Bass generally in good condition with a number of small dings on the lower and rear edges. General minor wear and tear. I still have original electrics [and knobs] and would include these. The bass plays really well and the sound is considerably improved with the East installed. Everything works. No issues with neck. Comes with an as new Thomann padded gig bag. More than welcome to come and try it out. The bass I bought second hand about 7 years ago on ebay if I remember correctly, and the preamp I bought here on Basschat about the same time . I have far too much equipment/basses and need to cut back. Ask any questions. Would prefer pick up although happy to send at buyers expense £400

Id definitely recommend in person lessons. On line lessons are fine but you'll get no feedback at all. You need someone to tell you if you're technique is a bit off. The online lessons also don't put enough emphasis on timing and because bass is a rhythm instrument, timing is extremely important. Bad timing can make a good band sound terrible. -

Storing a neck that is not attached to the bass
Jeffskowski replied to Jeffskowski's topic in Repairs and Technical
That is lovely. I only wanted to store a neck and now I'm spiralling towards another bass 😭 -
chyc started following In praise of Ashdown Engineering support
-
I would like to chime in that I have found Ashdown's support extraordinary. Sent an ABM-600 in for repair twice, both times probably my fault. For the second trip, they couldn't replicate the fault after a week, so they just replaced the unit! I have spoken with Dave before, and he's exceptional, but his unfiltered honesty and the way he immediately speaks his mind are things you have to be aware of when you chat with him. Plus I may not have caught him on a bad day.

Sir Horace Panters “Ghost Town” Precision Auction
Burns-bass replied to Lozz196's topic in General Discussion
I didn’t realise that. I appreciate caveat emptor exists at auctions, but that’s a fundamental flaw you’d hope would be checked when a bass was brought in to sell. If you were to turn up with some tools and try to adjust the truss rod, you’d quickly be warned off, for example. Glad you got it sorted and will be happy. I did see the Shuker, and it looked lovely. -

Wouldn’t say I’m a total beginner, but not far off. I’ve got a Katana GO, which is incredible, so I can play along to music & videos, but I jump about. I need some direction & discipline. I want to learn at least basic theory so I can identify the key of a song & know what to play over it. If you were starting out today, how would you go about it? Is that BassBuzz Beginner to Baddass worth the £157? Are there better alternatives? Thanks!

Power - high voltage circuit, lower voltage heaters and the 9v for the pedal output. Nobelium replaces it with a transfomerless solution for the high voltage and heaters
