Yes my V10 is quite heavy too. Neck dive is also a bit of a problem. I am going to order an Ibanez headless fretless. I had a six string multi scale and that was superbly balanced and very light, not the best sounding bass ever, but good enough for when I am in too much pain to hold a heavy bass. I only sold it to bring sone cash in when I bought my Nathan East Yamaha. All my guitar/bass tools and spares are in a toolbox tucked away behind the sub somewhere. My 5 yo son often used to go through the box asking what each thing was. Pots and micrometers are his favourite, oh and spare amp valves (not near the sub), but when has the valves out i get fed up of saying careful and GENTLY!!!!!

Odd that I was repeatedly told it was the glue 😉

Theyve apparently just sold out of their first batch.... I'm going to assume it was a rather small batch, but still. Anything that fella touches turns to gold.

Is that two different types of Tolex as well?

Stofferson started following TWA Krytical Mass - Brass master style Fuzz
-
For sale, excellent condition. TWA Krytical Mass. Brassmaster style Fuzz with more than most! Huge sounding with plenty on tap. More tonal variations than other Brassmaster fuzzes in the market. Huge low end and gain on tap, all important clean blend and various 2 lpf's and a hpf for tones, choice of 3 position mids. Edge to add in some top end, bias to get those sputtering synth like sounds, phase inverter to take some low end out if gets too boomy, this can go loud! Web schpiel: Prepare for meltdown with the TWA KM-01 Krytical Mass®! Based on the coveted Maestro Bass Brassmaster, Krytical Mass® was born from exhaustive critical analysis into the inner workings of that Holy Grail device and the few noble attempts that have been made to clone it. Krytical Mass® spits out fat, formidable fuzz with a pronounced octave up as well as a more subtle octave down and a scorching, filter-like sweep on sustained notes. Muted notes will “kill” the fuzz with almost gate-like precision, yielding a super-tight, synth-like pulse that is simply addictive to play. Where other replicas tend to be harsh and sterile sounding, Krytical Mass® is able to capture the aggressive yet warm & organic edge of the original Brassmaster using a unique complement of EQ and voltage manipulation controls. One of the great mysteries of the Brassmaster is its unmarked transformer and how it was wound. Analysis suggests that this component may have actually been wired with negative polarity, so Krytical Mass® includes a switch to toggle between positive & negative phase wirings for additional tonal options. Another unique feature of Krytical Mass® is the ability to adjust the symmetry of the transformer to taste, accentuating either 2nd order harmonics for more lows or higher-order harmonics for more complex waveform content. Also on board are selectable HP, LP and BP filters with adjustable midrange to fine-tune Krytical Mass® to your particular tonal tastes. Fuzz sensitivity of Krytical Mass® can also be controlled via external EXP pedal for dynamic manipulation of the fuzz to create synth-like drive swells and other interesting effects.

Isaac at Barefaced sent me a courier returns label yesterday, and the cab has been collected today by DPD. I have my fingers crossed for a swift turnaround, but I'll keep you posted. Rob

Thanks mate, it is lovely, and I wish it was destined to be mine! Replied. Yeah - by far the best looking 69 Jazz I've seen. Just the right amount of "authentic" relic'ing! You can just tell it's been played in pubs and clubs all of its almost 60 years of life! Have edited the original post with some more info from the owner.

Thanks Dave, yes all part of the fun imo, I knew I’d get there, just a matter of try it & see based upon a lot of guesswork and a small bit of logic.

I've just watched the videos and it certainly does sound great, although as mentioned it would have been nice to have a pedal on/off comparison because the signal chain seems to involve one of the best bassists of our generation, a beautiful custom Lull bass and apparently a proper recording studio's worth of other gear. I'll bet it sounded ok without the pedal too. The price is outrageous but this is clearly being positioned at the top of the market alongside things like custom basses and other boutique pieces so I'm not sure how much rational thought can be applied to the price tag. It's easy enough to think that you could probably get that kind of range of sounds by putting a nice eq pedal in front of any normal transformer DI. Or you could even get most of the way there with a cheap multi effects. Hell if somebody buys one who also owns a NAM profiler then anyone can have access to all of the sounds of this new gadget for the princely sum of £60 or however much the GP5 costs these days. But then that takes all of the fun out of it, doesn't it?

Yeah, that is a shame - sorry to hear they didn't get things sorted out to your satisfaction. That variability in experience is precisely why I shy away from giving any company too glowing a personal recommendation, though; I might consider that a company did alright by me, but in this case I was the one willing to accept a back-to-front cab as long as they confirmed that the ports (I know they aren't, but I forget the proper name..) firing in different directions was no sonic detriment, so maybe I'm a bad yard-stick to measure by. Thinking back, Alex's first reaction was along the lines of 'that actually looks pretty cool with the badges on either side', and I can see how some might not have been fully on-board with that as a customer service response. I'm used to my wonky stack now, and in fact when I put them in their road trunk for storage at the studio the fact that they can go in face-to-face to protect the grille cloth but still have the handles/feet facing the same way seems 'right' to me, so I'll mark myself out of any swapping and changing activities as there are many others like them.. but these ones are mine.

Nice set up. Dave

Good to hear it worked. I had a conversation with Neil Murray once and he was telling me how he would chop and change strings to get the volumes more even. Until he told me this i had no idea the string thickness would have such an effect. I now use 45-100 strings for this reason on my basses these days. Think it was ok when i was hitting strings really hard with my fingers but in recent years i'm playing a bit lighter and it seemed to be more noticeable. All good then. Dave
