I used Laballa DTB’s for years until reading how good TI’s were, and buying a set. I like them. But I recently became aware they didn’t seem to suit the jazz so much. Just a bit too bright for me. And I think the same for the Stingray, but other Stingray users might like them. They work really well on my Medium scale Aria and are fine on my Ibanez SR.

BASSIST+VOX WANTED FOR KISS TRIBUTE BAND
RhythmRocker replied to RhythmRocker's topic in Bassists Wanted
Thanks kindly 🎸😎 -
Up for sale is my 2013 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Classic 4-string in Vintage Sunburst with a stunning AAA flamed / birdseye maple neck. This is one of the nicest figured Classic necks I’ve seen and the figuring runs all the way up the neck and headstock. Music Man confirmed the spec via their database (see screenshot) I’d conservatively describe as excellent but most people would use mint condition with only home practise use. No gigs, no marks, no issues. It plays beautifully, set up low with no buzz. Comes with some nice extras: Hipshot D-Tuner professionally fitted Original Music Man tuner included in the case Both black and white pickguards Original Music Man hard case Case candy (strap locks, keys etc) Specs 2-EQ Classic preamp Classic mute bridge in perfect working order Chrome hardware Weight: 4.5kg / 9.9 lbs These 2010–2014 Classics are becoming increasingly sought after, especially the ones with premium neck figuring. Prices are rising, and very few clean UK examples come up with this level of figuring. Only selling because I’m downsizing and moving to a Precision for home practice. Price £2,395. Folk are listing these with meh necks, damage and scratches and no extras like Hipshots and extra scratch plates on Reverb for more than this. Dealers would be way above this for a similar example. Open to sensible offers. Bass is located in Central Scotland handy for all major motorway networks, happy to meet within reasonable distance (I have rendezvoused with fellow Basschatters in the North of England before). Happy to discuss shipping with buyer, would prefer to remain within UK at this stage. Feedback I have excellent feedback on Basschat from many years on here, my latest deal being for my 78 Tony Franklin fretless with Beedster the forum legend who was delighted, so buy with confidence. Cheers. -
Price drop to £650. A lot of amp for the money. -
How do they compare with the TI’s? I’ve got them on two basses and love them. I see lots of positive comments on la Bella strings but have yet to play any. Flats are tough to experiment with due to the cost.

Up to 20 already! -
The latest iteration of my board while I wait for my MXR Bass Synth pedal to arrive. The Dunlop 68 Shrine series uni-vibe I bought at the weekend on a whim. I've just been in a Hendrix / blues band so I couldn't resist it. It does however sound surprisingly good on bass with the sweep on min and the depth on max... almost like a phasor. The bodyrez I use on the EUB and I've really got the death ray dialled in now.

Even with rounds I prefer old ones. Not a fan of springy, super snappy sound

My SQ P bass wears 20 yr old dead Chromes. Pretty amazing. A light touch just behind the PU and its like a J bass bridge PU wth a bit more heft, incredibly dry and in a funny way kinda dull....but, sounds glorious out front. Cant ever imagine playing fresh rounds again.

Hi, East Yorkshire -
Yep - the Wal doesn't sound so great.

Decimalise, with fourteen notes..? (...and there's already an 'H' ...) ... -
I really like dropping in there and having a chat, but his asking prices are typically about double what I'd consider top-end.

Very reasonably priced for such a fantastically simple and effective compressor- 1 reply

I have worked out which band you are a member of. -
Nord Electro 4D 61 Keyboard Weighted Waterfall SW61 Superb Nord Electro keyboard - this has all the classic acoustic and electro mechanical keyboards you could wish for for live and studio performances. Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, acoustic grands and uprights Hammond, Farfisa and Vox organs. It even has Mellotron and Chamberlain samples, plus strings, harps and guitars. This version also has drawbar control. It’s a classic in its own right but still updateable using the Nord site and sample library. Included is the keyboard, user manual, mains lead, damper pedal, sample library on CD plus a nice heavily padded gig-bag. I have added a custom ‘half moon’ switch to control the rotary speaker simulation from the keyboard rather than using a foot switch like an old Hammond. If you collect in person I’ll also include a stand. The price is non-negotiable and sorry no trades. It is feasible to post but only in the UK and at your cost and risk. See pics - I’ve not gigged it but have used it in rehearsals occasionally. To be honest it’s been used at home as a piano and the other wonderful sounds have been wasted! Selling as I use my old Korg live as I’m not worried about it being knocked about and I’m going to buy a simple piano for home use. -
I have Musicman basses with lacquered maple necks, painted maple necks, oil and wax finished maple necks, oil and wax finished roasted maple necks and one with a graphite/phenolic neck!! My main player is a 2018 Stingray Special with the roasted maple neck (it has an ebony board). I have found over the years that all of the basses may need minor adjustment when the weather changes significantly (such as into summer, with higher ambient temperatures) and into winter (where the ambient temperature may fluctuate significantly) especially if, like my Stingray Special, the bass is left out available to play and is out in the centrally heated/non centrally heated home environment, and gets transported to/from gigs quite regularly and is exposed (in a gig bag) to in car temperature and the temperature in a venue/during the gig (where the neck gets exposed to sweaty hands)! My observation with this main player bass is that the roasted maple neck currently varies very little. It did require a minor truss rod tweak when the weather changed after the summer (to be fair it had a very low action as well). However it doesn’t even go out of tune from one venue to another currently. So I have no problem with the roasted maple neck in this context. I don’t think the other basses I have exhibit different characteristics than this. From my observation, ultra low action will exhibit buzz at the end of the summer/beginning of the winter, requiring a minor tweak of the truss rod (which is, of course a very simple activity on a Musicman). I don’t think there is any difference exhibited between painted, lacquered, oil and wax, or roasted oil and wax necks with Musicman basses - as someone has already said, if the neck’s wooden it will exhibit to some extent the standard effects of temperature/ humidity on wood - AND if you have a very very low action this is likely to become noticeable through minor fret buzz at the start of winter.

Haha no - it's was my mic for my occasional BVs and audience chat! I just swapped mine with the lead singers - obvs for BVs the SM58 can sit lower in the mix than you would want your lead vox mic to be set at. As mentioned a little earlier in the thread, we measured the difference and the AKG D7S gave an additional 6dB headroom (in terms of desk settings at least) before feedback kicked in vs the SM58.

Vocal Microphones, what are you using?
Steve Browning replied to Phil Starr's topic in PA set up and use
Possibly. I carry all sorts of spares and never need them myself. -

Is this a bassist thing, carrying spare mics for the rest of the band
