From an electronic perspective having preamps in low-z pickups or having low-z passive pickups with an on-board preamp makes no significant difference. -

So far these are the 3 that stand out as potential builds that would be super handy for me. The Euna is a definite. I’d probably grab one more while I’m there. The Compressor is tempting because it looks pretty easy and my Accountant is ace but noisy. The Muzzle noise gate looks a little more faffy but a noise gate would be extremely handy for me, particularly with the sidechain option.

cheers Mark , it’s lovely just needs playing -
What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

Usually only some part of the electronics is battery powered, like the tone stack. Therefore the only "active" part of the system is the tone, while everything else, pickups, vol, and blend is hi-Z. There are very few systems that are active from pickups to the output. As an example, systems that have an active mixing instead of plain blend pot are very few: John East, some EMG sets, Noll... -
@itu might have meant basses without active tone control (that being part of the preamp instead of "cut only" tone control of a P-bass), but merely with a sort of buffer (call it transparent preamp if you will) being described as active (like L-2000 apart from treble boost). -

Thanks, it’s a bit of a bargain ain’t it , has to go though! -
Last night we played The Burton in Brixham. Our 2nd NYE there. The last one wasn't great, so we were hoping for more this time. We only got this one recently as we were booked for the 20th December originally and were offered this foe double pay and a crate of Bus so took it. For the most part a good crowd and some enthusiastic dancing in the 2nd set. I dressed up with a festive Santa Hawian shirt and matching bucket hat, with my shades to finish the look. A good couple of sets by us with only a few 'moments'. Back home by 1.45am. My usual rig of StingRay, RM 500 evo II & BF210. foot wear were my slip on Skechers. Got a couple of months off now before the next gig.

This one I don’t get. -
Sold: Thanks to the person that gave the winning £60 bid (that's £75 Cancer Research UK have now been sent with gift aid added). (And thanks Basschat mods for allowing it) -
I've been collecting and pedal-testing solidly since COVID but a lot's been happening this year and, as my priorities are changing, it's time to start letting some of these pedals go, including those that six months ago it would have been unthinkable selling. I'm selling a Doom 2 in Jade Metallic finish. It's from the September 2023 release of 100 pedals and has been given the 'high gain' mod by Spencer at 3 Leaf Audio. The mod makes it a little harsher and more abrasive than the standard gain units but it gets synthy and still has the Doom 2 magic. The mod was originally aimed at guitar players so I'm pricing it at £320 £285 on here. Cosmic Metallic pedal sold. Original ad retained for transparency: Up on the block are a couple of Doom 2s, one being the standard gain unit (in Cosmic Metallic (the purple one)) SOLD and a high gain unit (in Jade Sparkle)). Both units are from the limited runs of 100 in 2023 and are the latest spec. £360 each (including UK Royal Mail Special Delivery postage). Neither has been used on a pedalboard and they're basically mint in box. The Wicked theme was not intentional. I'm not really looking for trades at this point but there are a handful of pedals I'm curious about: COG T-70 v2; Hamstead Subspace GE, and Chase Bliss Spectre. -
I suppose it depends how band finances are set up. All the ones I have been in have not had joint owned kit, favouring individuals buying specific items so if they leave we know exactly whose is whose (and what the other band members then need to buy). Also the reason why my garage is shrine of random pieces of PA/lighting kit!!

Well I nearly had a gig today. Got a dep sorted, unknown band at two hour's notice 40 minutes away, and had to pick up my gear with a detour. Driving across I got a message from a disconsolate BL who'd had his band replaced by another. Possibly dodged a bullet, even though it was a good paying gig, I knew a lot or could busk most of it but in retrospect two or three hours prep rather than an hour would have been needed.

I'm really surprised nobody's snapped this up.

The fasting showman replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Definitely agree re sound; when one of the guitar players in the band I'm in bought a bass IV, switching to a Fallout bass solved a lot of problems. I'd been using a very nice P bass up to then but the Fallout sounding so even across the board, ( particularly played high up the dusty end) it really sat in the spectrum below the bass IV without competing for the same space. I marvel sometimes how 2 30 inch scale basses ( admittedly one into a guitar rig, one into a bass amp setup) can separate out so well. The Fallout is capable of being physically an octave above the bass IV yet feeling much deeper. It didn't work like that with the Precision. All very subjective and unique to that band situation obviously. -
