    Also, check the E-string doesn't have too many windings on the tuner shaft. Just two or three winds will ensure that the string is suitably pushed down on the shaft. That can make a huge difference to the sound. Failing that, try (as others have said) a lighter gauge string. Sometimes a slightly lighter gauge will give you more tension. My Nate Mendel Precision is on my usual Elixir 40-95 set and it has massive punch and bottom end definition, but a lot of that comes from the nitro/ash/SD Quarter Pounder combination.

    I saw the trailer for Spinal Tap 2 yesterday. I *really* want to like it, and it definitely has a few funny parts. I'm fairly certain that it won't be good though. I hope to be proven wrong.

    A lot of cool entries this month! Seems to be a proggy trend, that's good in my book!

    Logically, a brass, or other metal nut would seem to make sense for tonal consistency, unless your frets are either plastic or bone. But then - I don't understand why every bass or guitar doesn't have a zero-fret, and the nut simply acts as a string guide. I suspect tradition is the answer, and is also why bits of dead animal still get glued onto stringed instruments.

    Is it just me seeing a lot of broken links? Edit: as you were, it is just me! Seems to have resolved itself!

    That’s a good point. Aside from Sire, I always found that the pickups on cheaper basses lacked depth (bass frequencies) in their pickups. The originator of Sire was an electrician/ engineer, much like the founder of Markbass. My MIM P bass had American standard pups but I improved it a lot by swapping them for Lindy Fralin

    Hi, I'm looking to raise some cash at the moment, so not really interested in trades. Thanks 👍🏻

    Yeah I've got Hx Native and used to have a Stomp. Helix is good, but it's just not fun for me.

    I bought an Ashdown cab off Alex. Absolute credit to Basschat. Couldn’t have been more helpful - even dropped the cab off at a friend’s house near a gig he was playing, which saved me a couple of hours of driving. Thanks again Alex

    Shipping should be possible as I'm getting a new cab in a couple of weeks so I can recycle the packaging from that.

    Arrr thanks very much for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and I’m looking forward to working with you on your next idea!!!

    Nope, just the single speaker

    I've had several PMs asking me to post this. I'm sorry, but I have no suitable carton/box. It's a quality, US built cab in very good condition for a very good price and I don't want the hassle of sorting out a box, arranging postage, worrying about whether it will arrive in one piece, etc. If it doesn't sell, it won't be the end of the world. Thanks for your understanding.

    I'm sure a lot of you have followed the progress of our very own @Silky999's Build Diary of the 'Nitro Cellulose Experiment' Jazz Bass. Well, while on my travels for a theatre gig in Torquay yesterday, I visited Silky999 and picked this up. With so many conversations these days of basses being prohibitively expensive, this is perhaps a different route to a really nice instrument. Now complete, this nitro finish bass is a lot more than the sum of it's parts. The Nitro finish really lets the bass speak and it really does have a voice of it's own. I'd personally rate it much higher playing-wise than a Mexican Fender, and sound wise, it'd give my American Original a run for it's money. Don't expect these to be around the £300 (cost of parts) mark for long!

    The only thing cheap basses don't always do well is pickups. Cheap pickups will make any bass sound less than perfect.
  34. chris_b
    With advent of CNC machines quality of cheap basses has gone through the roof. The QC that Asian manufacturers achieve is down to the contract and how much the brand owner cares about quality.

    Soundcraft Signature 10 mixer for sale, excellent condition, all features and signal paths working Until recently my recording interface with my PC - via the USB connection which gives 2-Track capability. Loads of useful features: Six mic inputs with switched phantom power High pass filters Limiters on Channels 1 & 2 HiZ inputs for instruments on Channels 3 & 4 Three band equalisation with swept mid band Channels 5/6 and 7/8 can be used as stereo inputs or returns Channels 9/10 act as return from the PC when using it as a recorder Built-in Lexicon effects Two Aux sends, switchable pre/post fader as well as the FX send buss etc. etc. All in all a high level of functionality with a very user-friendly interface Pickup from Uxbridge area, or I will post at cost.

    I might mention that this is a very good travel bass: full scale, and still so tiny.

    Show me a Fender that looks better. On second thought, don't bother...even their custom shop basses aren't quite as nice.
