    Quite a change from a high end bass to a simple J.

    What varies is the electronics of these early models. This one has the original Japanese electronics. Is it of worse quality? Hehe, I think the Japanese electronics are just as good as the others. Even much better.
  7. Sean started following Hohner B2A Headless 1986 Refirb
  8. Sean
    A 1986 Hohner B2A that has had some recent TLC and glow up. It's had a set up, fret polish, Monty's Montypresso on the fingerboard, new Status Hotwire double ball end strings, a new battery, a new cover for the damaged battery box so that it looks neat and keeps the battery in there. Lots of new screws all over too so it looks a bit fresher. The bridge has been stripped down and cleaned and lubricated. All the pots hve been cleaned and electrics checked. It works as it should and sounds huge. The pickups are the original in-house Hohner and a bit fuller than the later Select by EMG variants that were introduced in 1987 models. Teh pickup mounts are quirky as they have 3 screws and springs and you'll see two at the top, one at the bottom. It's a good clean example of a B2A. Out of all 5 I've "rescued", this one is the tidiest. It plays and sounds great. It comes with an ancient flight case that I consider to be just very robudrive-download-20250703T133312Z-1-001.zip I have proper cardboard and bubble wrap packaging and can Parcelforce for about GBP19 but would prefer collection. I'll get an exact price for insured shipping when I know where it's going. Check out 18 years of positive feedback on Basschat.
  9. Angel started following Can anyone identify this 8 string bass (with trem!)?
  10. Angel
    This is a video that I often put on at work as it's great background music, it's a live concert by two superb Japanese jazz fusion bands- Casiopea and T-Square. They all take to the stage at once and just share out duties. Anyway, I was watching excellent bassist Sutoh Mitsuru and for the first time I paid a bit more attention to the instrument that he was playing. It's an 8 string, and has a trem (!). I've been trying to find the bass on line but I've had no luck so far, so I was wondering if anyone recognises the shape? I'd just like to know what it is. The whole video is around 2h 44m long, but your best look at the bass in question is at 2h 14m when the bassists do a bit of showboating. Sutoh is the guy with glasses and a green bass. The other bassist is Yoshihiro Naruse, both very good! Anyone got an 8 string bass? What are they like to play? What does it give you extra sound-wise?

    That finish looks like you could dunk a biscuit into it. Beautiful bass.

    yes I've got to go back and listen to Blue murder too. Sykes was one of my guitar heroes
  14. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    These only work with tuners that have screw-in bushings as opposed to push-in bushings don't they? I'd probably try one if I had a bass thay'd work with, but I believe the issue they fix can also be resolved by leaving the cut string long enough to ensure that the number of winds around the post is sufficient to push the last wind as close to the wood of the headstock as possible.

    It arrived today. Initial impressions after ten minutes of knob twiddling and preset switching. This is good. This is very, very good.

  18. dmccombe7
    Saw him play with The Firm at Glasgow Apollo many moons ago. I was very impressed by him. He was using a fretless Jaydee bass at that time. Have a listen to his Blue Murder album with John Sykes on guitar and vocals and Carmine Appice on drums. Here's the single from it. Dave
  19. kristo started following Flats with thin black silks......?
  20. kristo
    I was sorting out my music drawer at the weekend and found some flat wounds with thin black silks. I'm pretty sure they are medium scale from measuring them quickly last night. Anyone have an idea what they might be? I thought Labella as there's no silk at the ball end, but the thin silks is throwing me. Cheers.
  21. ossyrocks started following Boss pedals - Blues Driver BD-2, SUPER Overdrive SD-1, Chromatic Tuner TU-2, BCB-30 pedalboard carry case.
  22. ossyrocks
    Three Boss pedals. The Blues Driver is mint and boxed, I bought it new less than a year ago, and I've used it in the house once! The project I bought it for never happened. The Super Overdrive is a classic, good condition, a few small nicks, but overall very nice. The Tuner is also a classic, very reliable and good to use, again some marks, but nothing much. The BCB 30 is used, but no damage and is perfectly functional. Prices include UK postage. Blues Driver BD-2 - £65.00 Super Overdrive SD-1 - £40 Chromatic Tuner TU-2 - £40 BCB-30 - £20 Rob

    Fair enough for the Moog Voyager effect, I'll need to (virtually) give that a try - but I think it is niche. And yeah, stereo modulations and delays applied to bass/synth bass - mostly if just affecting the high end can be great, but personally they are features I'd look for on modulation and delay pedals to apply further down the signal chain rather than a synth bass pedal itself.

    Mastering is applied to the final stereo (or mono) mix. It involves EQ, compression - usually multi-band - and for vinyl collapsing any stereo imaging of low frequencies into mono. All the changes are global and any apparent change to the mix will be the result of the EQ and multi-band compression. Generally a separate master is required for each delivery medium - vinyl, Compact Cassette, CD/Uncompressed Digital, Compressed Digital in order to play to the strengths of each, and in the case of vinyl make sure the audio capable of being cut. Anything involving the use of the original multi-track recording or "stems" should be labelled as a remix.

    ^This The other reason for change is greed....ie 'Apple" they appear to have converted their entire back catalogue,not once but multiple times in some cases-and what garbage comes back ? An American view of all music created by back street studios wholesale with no no finesse at all- just mass producing the music for apples viewpoint. And of course that new noise is a bigger profit for them times how much ? I hate remastered stuff in the main-because having grownup with the music why should I have to suffer the dirges produced for the different tech offered by a company that is just another US trillion dollar company wanting more shareholder bucks. Rant over........

    I know bugger all about music production. What is the difference between remixing a track and remastering it?

    I had one of the Indonesia passive single humbucker models that I bought direct from Vox. There were no problems with it but it had clearly been removed from the shipping box and worked on. It was well set up and everything fitted properly. Unfortunately, the price I paid was much closer to RRP. I was in the process of selling it when they dumped remaining stock on GuitarGuitar at fire sale prices. I had to go even lower to sell it. Consequently, I have lost my trust in Vox and radical designs in general (although I still have a Nordstrand Acinonyx).
  33. KingBollock started following Upright pianos
  34. KingBollock
    About 30 years ago we bought a 120 year old upright labelled as Jackson’s of Coventry (which I have never been able to find anything about). It was overstrung with an iron frame. It sounded nice and worked fine apart from one of the end keys that had been used to repair one of the more central keys. Moving it was an absolute nightmare. It was unbelievably heavy! Unfortunately, when we moved to Wales, 17 years ago, we just couldn’t bring it with us. We ended up having to skip it, which felt like sacrilege.
  35. Quatschmacher
    Stereo chorus and/or delay can sound wonderful on synth bass. Obviously more widely used on lead and chordal stuff though. And stacked stereo bass with subtly different settings on each side can be really great. Moog Voyager does this sort of thing, having two low pass filters in stereo output.
  36. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    I can see the point of a new mix/master if tracks were mastered for vinyl and the remastering improves how it sounds keeping the vibe of the original. For me, the PF's Animals '18 remix sounds more detailed as if it was painted with smaller brush strokes. Nothing has been made too prominent at the expense of anything else, but the '25 RL Trouble master sounds like every instrument is trying to be more upfront than everything else making it sound cluttered and fatiguing to listen to. One album that genuinely baffles me though is the stooges' raw power. I have a few versions of this album and all sound a bit like they were mixed/mastered by someone with cotton wool in their ears. The original mix sounds like there's a blanket over the speakers, the 1997 mix sounds like its being played too loud through speakers with ripped cones, and there's a 'legacy' version which sounds like the guitars are in another room with the door closed.
  37. SumOne
    I suppose for more atmospheric pad type sounds it can be useful. But bass (synth or otherwise ) is best in mono as far as I'm concerned, and that's the general rule in music production as well as live. Stereo bass can cause phase issues, and it just looses some of the impact. e.g. on a reggae soundsystem all the bass is mono.
