  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  3. I cycle past there most weeks while outwith my mountain biking mates, luckily I live in Bream so not far away, it looks great inside from the photos. Best of luck to the owners.
  4. Butting in here but try Elixirs on fretless. Not only do they last ages but I think they’re a little more forgiving on the neck and the nickels in particular have a warm even sound.
  5. PM’d.
  6. Hi folks Another lovely bass sadly having to go. This is a great active modern J bass with some stand-out features. The bass has a zero fret (like Sandbergs), a bone nut, 24-fert neck with deep cut away in body for easy access and a very nice "heelless" joint for even better access, a tilted back headstock and noiseless pickups. The bass is in excellent condition and comes with the original high-quality Cort gig bag. I have also added some soft-touch control knobs with tell tales as the original fit items are fine but you can't tell at a glance where the settings are. The controls are: Volume (pull for preamp bypass) Blend Treble Mids (pull for mid frequency shift) Bass The full spec is here: Specifications · Code: NJS-4 WHT · Body: Alder · Construction: Bolt-On · Neck: Hard Maple 3pcs · Fretboard: Hard Maple · Radius: 12" (305mm) · Frets: 24 w/ Zero Fret · Scale: 34" (864mm) · Inlay: White Pearloid Block · Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite · Bridge: MetalCraft M4 · Pickups: Cort Voiced Tone VTB-ST · Electronics: Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp · Hardware: Chrome · Strings: D'Addario EXL165 · Special: Bone Nut Pickups The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum-cancelling design. VTB-ST Specification · Magnet: Ceramic 8 Bar · Coil: AWG43 · Turns: 5,200 / 4,800 · Resistance: 6.5k ohm · Inductance: 3.9H Description · Character of the legendary J-style pickup with total elimination of the noise · Ferrite Ceramic 8 magnet provides the legendary clear and transparent J-style sound · AWG43 insulation, classic and time-proven materials and winding methods · Different amount of turns on first/second strings and on third/fourth/(fifth) strings for specific emphasis on high-end and low-end sonic character of the bass £550 OVNO please. Collection or meet up preferred, but may be able to post if I can find a box. Here are some pics. The second pic looks a bit blue in tone, not sure why. I think the rest look to be a good representation:

  7. Sale only at the minute ideally but could pontentially consider trades (via pm obviously) Possible trades of interest - Mesa d800+ or similar , barefaced three10 or supertwin t
  8. Have a bump on me - these things are awesome
  9. But in these cases we're always talking about solid bodied instruments with bolt-on necks that have been fitted with shims. And the fact that it can happen in instruments that don't match these criteria points to poor construction rather than the fitting of the shim. From what you have posted it appears to me that the main culprits are poor construction of the neck or poor quality wood used for it coupled with a truss rod design that stops significantly short of the end of the fingerboard. Fitting a shim to an instrument with these attributes may compound the problem but physics says it will happen anyway with or without the presence of a shim. Also I doubt whether a fret at the body end of the neck being 0.005" too tall will affect anyone other than those who favour a very low action and regularly play above the 15th fret.
  10. Excellent condition used pedal, with original packaging, with instruction leaflets in English and German as supplied. Has very small ding in the paint on front left of pedal from the aluminium trim on my board flight case, otherwise pretty much like new, and has the original rubber feet on the bottom along with velcro on rubber foam on 3m painters tape which should remove with minimal residue if not required, as pictured.

  11. With original box, sticker and quick start guide Little bit of fluffy velcro on end which is where I used to stick a battery when using it with my battery powered PJB set up It's mini size pedal, super versatile unit, especially if you really understand compression and are prepared to spend time making your own set up(s), Doods review on YT covers it well; software and preloads available from TC website And it is simple to use, just one knob, in conjunction with the phone app playing a tone through the pickup on your instrument to switch between the many 'name' and general preloads, find the one you like and adjust how much, ideal for when the band or the Sound Engineer says have you got compression/you should have compression Price include UK postage with Royal Mail 48

  12. 2 superb bass cabs In great condition, that have served me well but dont get used anymore and need a new home. Everything works without any issues, a couple of hex nuts missing off the back but can be easily replaced for pence if you really need to. Comes with 2 Hotcovers protective covers worth over £100. Would be interested in a trade for a Fender Mustang Bass. Specs Ashdown ABM 410H 600w 8ohm Ashdown ABM 115 300w 8ohm

  13. Ive managed to find a guitar box, so delivery is now an option
  14. Alright mate. Its Daz. Hope youre good? I've come on here as i'm currently looking for a nice hollow body. A cheapish copy, Aria, Kent etc something old and punchy. Know anyone that may have something? 500/600 max.
  15. Its not just people, it is the way things are pushed, as per that post a while back from Scott devine, if you don't include that clickbait stuff, your video is just buried. I can't stand even a second of Sapko and certain would go out of my way to watch his videos, but every time I am on youtube his videos will be there near the front and I have clicked on a few when I didn't realise they were his (luckily he likes his face being there so it is normally easy to spot).
  16. Good luck finding a photograph showing a fret that is 0.005" too tall! My physics is not flawed, you're just not understanding the different ways that wood can move under constant tension. Also, I never said it was caused by a shim, or the truss rod, or poor construction - it is caused by force applied over time, simple as that. (It can be caused by those other things too) And to reduce further internet arguments, a solid body behaves very differently to a hollow body, and the necks belonging to each behave differently as well. That's how you can have opposite solutions to the same apparent problem (it's not the same problem, it just looks and behaves the same).
  17. Origin Effects Black Panel Bass Rig
  18. the 1995-97 Gibson era Tobias Growler have a superb electronic system I've not tried the latest reboot
  19. Congratulations upon getting this commision Bill I'm sure it will be a useful resource for many people
  20. That dent is odd, and no mention of it in the description! It's a nice looking bass for sure.
  21. Before @Hellzero disappears - any recommendations for roundwounds strings for my Capone? Ive got Sadowsky blue steels on my Sadowsky that I love, Sadowsky blue nickels on a Lakland which are ok ish, infeld nickle rounds on a p which were good till they died. DR fatbeams are the pricy favourite I had a few years ago … I think originally Lefay might hsve used Ernie ball steel rounds?
  22. Don't forget you can often get interest free credit over 9 months, softens the cash flow dent. £93 per month for my ampeg is wearable
