  2. This one is pretty brilliant. I use it for everything from P bass to T Bird and its class
  3. John made me a lovely Jazz loom, a quality bit of kit as per usual and super fast delivery. Thanks!
  4. Hey Jon, Long time no speak so I hope you're keeping well.. That's a very fair price for such a fantastic amp! GLWTS šŸ‘šŸ˜Š Nik

    Neural Quad Cortex

    Gigging tonight so Im not messing with it until afterwards. Then I have a 2 week window to fanny about with it until I need to use it again in anger. Should give me long enough 🤣
  6. BBE Opto Stomp Optical Compressor This is an early one with the blue led. It's in pretty good condition with a few marks from age and use. Works of a battery or a 9v PSU. Comes with original box and bits n bobs. They're on Fleabay for £150 odd but that's daft money so it's up here for £75.00

  7. Through The Never - Metallica
  8. Beautiful looking Jazz Bass! Must sound great with those Fralins too... GLWTS šŸ‘šŸ˜Š
  9. To clarify, it's a bridge jazz pickup. No custom scratch plates, ashtrays etc. Remove, fill, forget. End of.
  10. It does sound fantastic! Nice high-mass brass Warwick bridge on it too!
  11. Atelier Z M245 70s Custom 2000s in very good condition. Beautiful red northern ash body / maple neck with high end abalone inlays (vintage tint). Upgraded with John East Retro Deluxe preamp and Gotoh Resolite GB528 tuners (originals supplied). With Atelier Z gig bag. No trades thanks.

  12. Stagg SGA100BK. Cheap, stable, accommodates headless and asymmetrical basses, with a neck security thingie.
  13. With one pub/small festival/function band I play with we now use this for rehearsals and gigs. Total cost for the critical gear in these photos, bought new for £95, excluding cables, an inexpensive way of trying out IEMs. What we have now: * all mics and instruments split in the mixer, with copies out to FOH/PA. * all 4 of us, plus occasional guest sax player, gets identical stereo IEM feeds. * All band members can tweak their own IEM booking at source. * each band member chooses wired or wireless connections to their IEMs (mostly we use £5 KZ EDX Pro models). Our wireless IEM system units are an additional £20 for two. * another optional extra each band member has is a £15 MA400 personal headphone mixer so we can add "more me" to the common stereo band mix. * the drummer likes his IEMs so much he wanted a drum mic mixer so I sourced him a 6 channel one with all the cables, so he now presents a L/R stereo feed now to the band IEM mixer, instead of mono kick and mono snare/kit. So far it's working out well, but I can see us getting an XR18 once we get gigging more.
  14. Selling this Micro Fuzz from Kong. Comes with a blend Knob so no lowend loss. 2 types of fuzz, ā€œbassā€ side is more of a vintage germanium type, the ā€œtrebleā€ side is a trebly fuzz. In as new condition, never mounted on a pedalboard nor gigged. Ā£30 posted within mainland UK.

  15. I suspect the whole forum wants nothing more than a vid of you playing it Jack .............. šŸ‘
  16. The Duff McKagan bass is a good example of this Tim
  17. And my current gear sell-off just got weirder. There was a time, many years ago, when my future seemed to hold a lot of Americana, Bluegrass, Country, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot and owning a decent autoharp seemed like a really good idea. So I bought this one: https://www.u-buy.co.uk/product/2E2HT894-oscar-schmidt-osc-os45c-21-chord-autoharp?srsltid=AfmBOorOBOfKzWY5oVTqysQCWaBMBMP6btilmF7GfA9JbyujrqlrqBCCJwg Now I don't know if it's currently unavailable because they've stopped making them, or their last batch has sold out and they're waiting for the next, or if The Ginger Baby President has slapped a 3-million % tariff on them or something, but for some reason the expression "rare as hen's teeth" springs to mind, especially in the UK. It has been very little used and is in as-new condition. It came to me with strings that I reckoned were already past their best. I can't see that years in storage will necessarily have improved that. It is the highly-desirable 21-chord model, far more versatile than entry-level autoharps, and of course it's electric ... which means that it's acoustic but it does have a pickup should amplification be required. This very odd sound-hole apparently improves all sorts of things. I have no idea if that is true. In truth, this is not the sort of thing I'd normally consider posting but my old mate Confucius assures me that I should never say never. I don't plan on leaving this here for a long time. If I don't get a buyer within a week or two then I suspect eBay is the right place for it.

  19. I've seen reference to this several times now. What is a 'painted' neck? It sounds like something from Roger Mellie's Profanisaurus.
  20. My basses all have names because the manufacturer/luthier was good enough to provide them with them. Oh, except for the 6-string headless made by the chap I bought it from, which I have called "the six-string headless".
  21. When I did something similar many years ago I used car filler from halfords. The route was almost invisible once the body was painted but it was under the pickguard anyway so it didn't really matter. For something like a PJ bass where the J pickup wasn't needed, I'd just leave a J pickup in it even if it wasn't plumbed-in.
  22. Yeah I’d give the steel Fat Beams a try, I find nickels on Precisions to both lack the top end I want and to be a bit too warm in the mids so always put steels on them (Elixirs in my case) for a similar bright & clear sound.
  23. I'm trialling a 2.4GHz wireless stereo IEM system (the M-Wave WP-12) and it's turning out reliable so far for pub and function gigs. Our singer wanted a set so, despite the caution a second set may not work independently of mine, I got one for her and I tested them at home, so far so good, both of ours coexist. That means we'll have two pairs of stereo feeds, enough for the band and/or guests. My new bass wireless system is also 2.4GHz but it's pro gear (the t.bone Giga Pro Pedal Set - a rebadged Mi-Pro), able to switch channels etc and no coexistence issues so far.
  24. My dislikes aren't totally irrational. Headstocks. Ugly heavy things that wreck the balance of a bass. Although that hasn't stopped me owning quite a lot of basses with headstocks. Painted bodies. I just know I'm going to chip it. Chipped painted basses. Deliberately chipped painted basses. Deliberately chipped painted basses with "Fender" on the massive ugly heavy headstock. Scratchplates. Calling scratchplates "pickguards". Calling plectrums "picks". Giving measurements in primitive. We've been a metric country for 60 years, just bloody catch up. Connecting basses with wires, unless it's to connect a 13-pin hex pickup. Wireless is the way.
