    Is that an easy fix Gary? I'm new to this malarkey, so I'm just needing tips and guidance 🙂

    Local pick up from London (near Victoria Park and Mile End Station). This instrument is fantastic. It's a great compromise between an acoustic instrument and a portable one. Only selling cause I'm moving abroad. Comes with a removable waist extender (to mimic a normal upright body) and a soft gig case. You can see in the photos there's two inputs for the two pickups, so that gives you some nice options for dialing in your sound. It's in very good condition. Cosmetically there are a few light scratches here and there (tried to show this in one picture), but nothing very noticable. Returns not accepted, but you're very welcome to come try it out and make sure it's all to your liking before taking it home. I have an amp here you can plug into to test it out and hear the amplified sound. Specifications: Neck:Rock Maple, fixed Fingerboard:Ebony Vibrating String Length:41-1/4 inches Top:Arched, Laminated Spruce Back:Arched, Laminated Curly Maple Air Chamber Depth:3 inches Body Size:10½ x 31½ inches Bass bar:Solid Spruce Sound post:Solid Spruce Bridge:Maple, Fully Adjustable Tailplate:Solid Brass Endpin:Fully Adjustable with Steady-foot™ Anti-rotational Endpin Foot Total Length:63 inches Weight: 13 lbs Here's a youtube playlist of people playing one of these:

    I was fortunate enough to play the 5 string on the right, known as the ACG Moth. Oddest looking bass I've played, but one of the most ergonomically comfortable basses I've ever played. Whilst I think some single cuts can look bloated, well thought out models can be excellent.
  9. Cat Burrito started following How was your studio session yesterday?
  10. Cat Burrito
    We have a very popular "how was your last gig" thread and a growing rehearsal one, but I can't see a studio one. It's a different beast and I am happy to kick start things. It'd be great to hear other experiences of where you are and how you got on. Yesterday, we returned to Mooncalf Studios in Wiltshire, for our penultimate session for album no. 3. Playing gothic original material, we usually record the drum tacks and keys on GarageBand, take them to the studio to upload and tidy up, and then add the guitars / bass / vocals. We uploaded the last three songs and recorded the bass and vocals. I used my Fender Jazz USA (2008) and my Squier Bass VI for the bass parts. I also got to use a Jerry Jones Sitar guitar that we had hired for the princely sum of one bottle of red wine. Oh, and I added a simple part on my David Bowie Stylophone. The sitar took a few runs. Mainly because I was writing the part whilst in the studio. The bass all went down in one take with no overdubs, across all three tracks. That doesn't always happen but it is nice when it does. I also did a few lead vocal lines, which went down pretty easily. We have three guitar parts and one of my vocal parts to do and the album is done. Anyhow, enough about me... who else has a recent studio session that they'd care to share?

    in front of you ? TBH when i had the 121 rig i never stood to the side of it. Always directly in front maybe up to 2-3 ft max from it. I liked the 210 combo they had where the speakers were side by side rather than one above the other. The cab could tilt back to approx 35-45 degrees if i remember right tilting upwards to let you hear it better. Dave

    Me too Neil. I got it from our very own @wateroftyne with regards the WB-100 and it has worked wonders when using the VM4. Definitely an improvement. For me i love a graphic EQ as i can see at a quick glance where my tone is and i know exactly what to adjust from there. With paraEQ i never know what freq to boost or cut. A lot of trial and error ensues until i find it. I think i need to know my amp better and the mid frequencies that really enhance a bass tone for what i like. All dependant on what bass i use too of course. Dave

    Funny that, I always place my MB NYI21s to the side or just in front of me. I seem to be able to hear them much better that way
  14. StephenJ started following 2008 Jay Haide
  15. StephenJ
    Hi Mr Bassman, This bass looks stunning and I've heard great things about Jay Haide instruments. I'm currently in the market for a new bass at roughly this price. I'm based in Scotland but I'm heading down south for a few days from the 16th of this month. Would I be able to arrange a time to try it? Let me know what's the best way to contact you. Cheers! Stephen

    Beautiful punchy cabs these. GLWTS 👍🏻👍🏻

    Ha, you just find a sound you like then always leave it on that. The active bass mid & treble have been in the same place on my Ibanez since just after I got it in 1984. At least now, when they get knocked, I know where to put them 😂.

    Wise decision. Everything else comes rather from your fingers.

  23. rainbowreality started following New nut?
  24. rainbowreality
    You could file down the nut top so about a third of the diameter of the A, D and G string is showing above each slot. Also press down each string between the 2nd and 3rd fret and then tap the string directly over the 1st fret. If you don't get a dinking sound the nut string slot has been cut too low

  28. joe_geezer started following Rick Savage (Def Leppard) playing schecter?
  29. joe_geezer
    One of his Washburn's is for sale on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/73626239-rick-savage-s-def-leppard-washburn-bubinga-5-string-bass-guitar-rs-5020-authenticated I always wondered if his Washburns were off the shelf versions or custom made for him in USA or Japan? I had a Washburn once with Status pickups and it was a ok but very cheaply put together, i took the finish off and it was basically plywood.

    I am working on a another monster at the moment but wanted to keep things moving so here is another 'easy' chart (easy enough to play but there are challenges in the reading). From the 1972 Deep Purple album, 'Machine Head', the complete Roger Glover bass part to maybe I'm a Leo' (actually, I am....) https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/maybe-im-a-leo-deep-purple/
  31. Paul C
    I certainly find its loud enough when there's a PA to assist with fold back. If I have to take cabs to a gig these days I take a 210 and the Terror Head. At the rehearsal room it's Into a 410 8 ohm cab (no fold back or in ears)
  32. upside downer
    I do hope there's an adventurous supermarket manager reading this and thinking "Well, why not give it a spin..?" I might blast it out from my phone next Saturday when I'm in Lidl.
  33. MNY
    Stunning bass, and excellent playing. 👏
  34. tegs07
    Nah keep whining about Coldplay. It’s certainly more entertaining than any music they have released. Coldplay are the Korma of the Curry world. A curry for people who don’t really like curry.

    Its not whining. They are the opposite to this, perfectly competent. Can't fault the playing, recording, mixing etc but they have no weirdness, nothing to challenge the listener, nothing unusual. They're just standard. This is the opposite to that. You're never going to hear this played as background music in a supermarket. Most people who hear this will think its a mess but those who get it will really enjoy it.
