Quite a few of the motorway services have them in our area. Local High St. ones all shutdown tho. In fact they still have them in the 3 main Lanarkshire Hospitals. Dave -
@Jack strangely, they don't sound quite as bad recorded as they do with headphones. Maybe open back headphones aren't the thing when you're using the pitch shifter! Still not the worlds greatest pitch shifter, but might be a good get out of jail option. 1 semi-tone up: OneUp.wav 2 semi-tones down: TwoDown.wav

I was after a single aged Gotoh and was directed to Gotoh themselves. I received the following response to my email ... Thank you for your inquiry! We are able to get single tuners from Gotoh for customers. I will need to clarify a few details first. The product code for the reverse-wind version of that bass tuner is GBR640 and the finish code for regular Nickel is usually either N or NI. The XN in your product code would be for the X-Finish Nickel. The X-Nickel finish has a kind of satin appearance. You probably don't want to have one tuner that looks different from the rest. Let me know which finish you need and I can make a quote for you. About Ordering and Shipping If you would like to make an order please include your shipping address and telephone number*. Handling of orders takes approximately 1 week for DoMo or Uo-Chikyu products and a minimum of 2-4 weeks for Gotoh products**. Shipments are sent via UPS (Pegasus) or EMS (Japan Post). In some cases we also offer air mail service. Please note that EMS and air mail shipments depend on commercial flights and have been experiencing delays. We cannot predict whether or not any particular shipment will experience delays. If you want a better chance at fast delivery please choose UPS. NOTE: In some cases extra charges may be applied by the delivery service. Japarts does not predict, collect, or pay for those charges. Before you pay, I will make an invoice for you to double-check. Our preferred method of payment is PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account for payment through PayPal. They accept credit cards the same as any other online payment system. If you agree to the terms, just let me know and I will send a PayPal payment request to complete the transaction or you can simply send the full amount to [email protected].

RJB280 started following 1976 Fender Jazz

Great sounding, lovely playing and not too heavy 76 Jazz bass. It’s been in my possession for the last 23 years and I toured with it for 18 years hence a few battle scars which in no way affect its playability. It’s nicely lived in ! CTS pots date to 1976 and serial number bears this out. You will see in the photos that it has a mark on the maple board however this does not affect the way that it feels or plays. Its a good honest old bass that you’re welcome to come and try out anytime and it’s currently strung with LTFs.

I have a ticket to go and see Cabaret Voltaire at Rock City in October. Normally I wouldn't buy anything so far in advance because I don't know if there might be something better coming along like a really good gig for my band. I also looked at going to see Kraftwerk at The Royal Concert Hall but I'm not paying £172 to see them at a seated venue where being seated is rigorously enforced.

My Dansette played one side of the stereo image much louder than the other. Because I rarely listened to my records on other peoples systems, the only time I could tell it was making an obvious difference to the sound was on 60s recordings that had stereo mixes with the vocals panned to the quiet side of the stereo image. For everything else I was perfectly happy with what I could hear (or not) because I didn't know any different. When I finally get a system that played both sides of the stereo image at the correct volume I found that lots of my records had additional instruments quite prominently in the mix that I had not been aware of previously, and IMO the addition of these instruments did not always improve the recordings.

And fit the strings properly at the tuners. 😂 Nice looking bass. Mine didn't have the adjustment pot on the pre-amp block plus it was all black silicone compound. Dave

eude started following ACG Krell SC E Type 6 String Fretless Headless (31.5" Scale)
-
I am popping this back up for sale, as I've decided I prefer headed basses, with a very skinny nut. The funds will go towards a headed fretless 6 string ACG to compliment my recently acquired ACG fretted 6er, therefore no trades please. Here we have an immaculate ACG Krell SC E Type, a stunning example of ACG's work. This is a 6 string, tuned B to C, headless, set-neck construction. The scale length is 31.5" and the playability is incredible, the low B is musical and lacks nothing compared to long scale basses. As you will see from the design at the "head end", the strings are held in with grub screws so you can use any strings you want, you are not tied to double ball end strings. This is probably the most beautiful bass I have ever owned, and probably ever will, but sadly needs must. Official listing on the ACG site here >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0288-krell-e-type-fretless-6-31-5/ Here's a video of some noodles >> Specs as follows >> Top Wood: Fractal Birch Body Core: White Limba, 55mm thick and Chambered Accent: Purpleheart Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck: 3-piece Purpleheart/Wenge with asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Mac Ebony with Pearwood fretlines at 1/3/5etc Purpleheart in the rest and flat/zero radius Scale: 31.5″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG FB pickups (stacked sidewinder style humbuckers, wired in parallel, hand wound by Aaron Armstrong) Hardware: ETS tuning/Bridge unit, ACG Headpiece, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks La Bella RX Nickel Strings (30-130) Pre-amp: ACG DFM 4K (This is the full fat flagship ACG filter preamp) Nut width: 54mm Bridge Spacing: 16.5mm The bass comes with a top of the range Fusion F1 guitar sized gigbag, also in mint condition and a perfect fit, these things retail over £200 and are comparible to the top of the range Mono bags The bass is in perfect condition, never been gigged, home use only. Price is £1900 ono, no trades please. I am selling a 6 string headless ACG in another ad, and I would be willing to do a deal on these as a pair. UK only, but will consider an EU based sale. Shipping, with insurance at buyer's expense. More photos here >> https://photos.app.goo.gl/Losr8JTh3kL6o4iHA I will sort out a proof of ownership photo ASAP. Cheers, Eude

Ah, great, thx ! Here are 2 pictures. It still works, I borrowed the bass a few years back also and noticed the output level was very low with a level of hiss which is nowadays not necessary. But I played live in a big band, so was manage-able. I'm borrowing it again now for recording, but the hiss is getting in the way. As you can't EQ the thing because of it, almost no high frequencies in the sound. Possibly the age of the pots also. There's a little pot on the block which you can turn, the level increases, but the hiss also, and the sound changes, not for the good. I already ordered new active MEC pickups and BEC-2 electronics. After 40 years, badly needed. I'm doing something back for borrowing !

So has the rightful owner of this bass got it back yet?
