I saw some Barts listed (their 8S P-Bass set) for over £200 yesterday. Maybe a blip, or symptomatic of tariff-geddon.
-
Others might, but not the bands I play in.

April Composition Voting thread
Baloney Balderdash replied to lurksalot's topic in General Discussion
I might have to initiate my Boss RC-500 Loop Station for the next contest, and perhaps even utilize the Zoom recorders ability to record 4 mono tracks/2 stereo tracks. It's not a promise, but something I will consider. It might still end up with just a single track improv like the other tracks I've contributed with. -

14 TX64 Pads and Mounting arms Pads work perfectly well responding to all pad trigger areas and velocity. I originally had 3 full kits at my rehearsal room but have no need for them and most of the parts/frames etc have been sold. selling as a job lot as I’d rather not split and do individual postage. Collection is good too, NE26 or NE6 or could possibly drive to meet depending on distance. Any questions please ask. Thanks David I

You need to get out more ...
-
Have a sound check if you really feel you need one, but the bands I play with know what they want to sound like, and know how to get it. I've never seen anyone take longer than 20 seconds to line check and sort their sound.
-
Yes, just screw the knurled knob out until it comes off and then thread the thrust bearing on, then screw it back in.
-
Theres quite a lot about them (Asamovel) on Insta, Bill. They are obsessed by their wall of Marshalls and what drivers are in each of them. I completely take your point about the Magnatones. Not many making a noise but they certainly look pretty. I'd love a Magnatone. What.a. machine.
-
Simplest thing would be to abandon the Mustang and get a cheap multifx from Zoom or similar with an aux input and maybe headphones output.
-
Thrust bearings received today. Is it obvious when you unscrew everything how to fit them?
-
It’s gone from the window. Hopefully it’s gone to a good home.

Not this bass player, he didn't hang around for long!

Headstock seems a slightly unusual shape? Looks a bit thin to my eyes.

Uncle Balsamic started following Anyone make Ampeg B15 head clones in the UK?
-
Real B15s are thin on the ground over here and increasingly expensive by the looks. Does anyone know if there's anybody in the UK who does, or would, make an Ampeg B15 clone? (Just the head, not necessarily the cab as well) As far as options, I know about the following which come as kits and pre-built: The Trinity Trip Top, which looks nice but not sure how often they make them and shipping from Canada is probably fairly significant. There's also the Ceriatone Aunt Peg, which is close, but based on this post, isn't quite a true clone because of the transformer used. Correct me if I'm wrong about this! On the subject of kits, does anyone know someone who would build one for you? I don't have the training to mess with high voltages and I'm not daft enough to try For the purposes of this, pretend I absolutely do not want a pedal or a preamp etc., just a valve head that sounds like a B15. Doesn't need to be exact, e.g. look like an Ampeg, or have two channels, etc. Thanks in advance all!

Swapping necks around was a design feature from the start. Initially Fender didn't put truss rods in their guitars. If the neck bowed the idea was to replace it with a new one. I guess plan B (truss rods) came along pretty quickly. One school lunchtime in the mid 60's I was standing in Marshall's shop in Hanwell watching Vic Briggs of the Animals telling the guys, Chris & John, that he wanted the neck of one Strat on the body of another Strat and the electrics of a third Strat.

Only recently got this as I've wanted to try one for a while as a possibly workhorse for a function band. These are great basses but I don't think its the one for me at the moment. Really good quality and nice feel to it, and a good B string. Weighs in at around 4.3kgs. In great condition, only 1 mark on the body, the scratch plate and rear panel still have the cellophane on them. Could be interested in trades for 4 or 5 strings. Would prefer collection from Chelmsford, comes with a good Yamaha gig bag but I don't currently have packing material to ship. Any questions please ask!

Hi all, Here we have my Fernandes Gravity 5x. Bought last year as a back up to my Warwick, but now being sold as I'm trying to move away from 5s and am looking for a different sound. There's not a lot of info out there about these, as they seem to be quite uncommon. It dates from 2008 and is made in China. Twin single coil pickups with vol, vol, tone. Simple as it gets. Tonally it's got a quite aggressive sound, the twin Jazz pickups are really high output, with a really punchy sound. You'll note the front pickup is moved towards the bridge compared to the usual J/J set ups, definitely gives it a funkier, mid-rangey sound. The tone pot is effective all the way round, giving a wide sweep of different tones (and a really funky rear pickup sound). B-string was the biggest surprise for me on this bass. It's very taught and defined, better than many other basses I've had at 4/5x the price. It's in 9/10 condition. It recently had a brand new input jack installed and plays very cleanly across all frets. A nice first foray into a 5 string for someone, or a great reliable, good sounding backup. Weight is a lovely 3.9 kg. Collection from Moreton in Marsh, which is located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily meet up within an hour's drive for handover, or a bit further for a small petrol contribution (purely due to the low cost of the bass). Thanks for looking!
