The brightest basses I've ever played... well, one would be my old GB (now owned by @meesterbassman)- Bernie makes a point of his basses having a very extended top end, he always called it the "high-tech sound". It was also all ash and maple, so it was a very bright, trebly bass to begin with. Others would be pretty much any Status - the top end you can dial in on those is crazy. And MTD - those custom Bartolinis they use are super-crisp, and they'll definitely shred some tweeters with the treble control dialled right up. Also, pretty much any bass fitted with a John East U-Retro or Uni-Pre- the high end boost you get when you pull up the treble control is very sharp. I've owned several Bongos, and still have one. They can go pretty high, but not "pingy" - their character is mostly in the high-mids rather than super-high treble.

I have 4 Sandbergs and just sold a Lionel... 7.5lb isn't that remarkable, I have a fretless Lionel that is just over 7lb.

Thanks everyone for the help on this thread. Strings on my bass successfully changed from old Helicore hybrid to Evah Pirazzis. I did have to open out the slot for the E string in the tailpiece with a file, as the string was too wide. (I texted my teacher first 🤣). My pegbox isn’t as pretty as JPJ’s though.

@Richard R you can have "Pump it up", by Elvis Costello, if you wish.

Band schedules and keeping track
YellowLedBetterBass replied to Buddster's topic in General Discussion
We use a Google calendar for our bands email address. We email meeting invites for rehearsals, gigs, when people are away, etc. to that email address, and it comes up on the calendar for everyone to see. -
Damn! I wish I had thought of that! 🤣

I’m way ahead of you on that point Dave, order already in (via Mark at Classic And Cool Guitars) for a Superlight Lionel but lead time is 2 years. So if I can get hold of one in the meantime would be great as even my JMJ Mustangs at just under 8lbs are getting a bit heavy, who knows where the back will be in 2 years.

I am here to make the inevitable "pump up the bass" joke.

What do we reckon folks? A new bass, a pedal, an amp, a complete new sound system? #HowHasWavemakerSinned?

It might be cheaper to get a shipping company to send a small container than take everything as excess baggage on an aircraft (normally a very expensive way of doing it). It depends on how long you are moving abroad for, and how many things you are taking with you.

Is a custom order direct to Sandberg out the question with a limit on the weight being an essential part of the order. ? Dave

Markbass Little Mark IV and Markbass New York Ninja cab 800w
M@23 replied to Ian Somerville's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale

My first "big cab"was a 1970's Traynor (Yorkville Sound, made in Canada I understand) 2x15 loaded with two Celestion 15's I was given. From memory the cabinet didn't reach seismic lows, although it was plenty meaty for the bands I were playing in, but the upper mid range frequencies were really smooth and present - sublime P bass tone. I ran it with the Marshall Intergated Bass System 200W head, a great lil lead sled, but I would love to own a Marshall 7400, it's a bucket list amplifer for sure!

Well, I‘ve had a good run. I‘m almost certainly out, unless something happens to the big brown truck before its arrival on Friday. I‘ll be back to report on the spoils…
