    Is it the angle or is the body shape wrong? The lower cut seems too high towards the pickups. I appreciate it's a copy of course.

    I'm a big fan of the Fender Hi-Mass bridge — Currently only £35 from Amazon I have these on (at least) six basses. The Brass saddles seem to keep the notes punchy.

    Hi Nik, Many thanks for your message. An InPost locker service would be £1.99 or Royal Mail 2nd class £3.50. David

    The important question is, can you get a tort pick guard to fit?

    Well, this arrived a few minutes ago: No breakages or anything. To be brutally honest, I'm stunned as to how nice it is. Frets need a bit of a polish, strings are nasty, neck is straight, there's no flaws in the finish...even the machine heads seem to hold. Obviously things need a bit of fettling, but for £200, there's nothing here not to like. In all probability the plan is to swap out the hardware; P94s, 300k pots, strap locks and further down the line machine heads. These are a job for future Paulie.

    One thing I've done as a result of all this is to chart out the songs as the band plays them with notes to explain. One day they might need a dep or a replacement and having this reference material is going to save some bassist a lot of time. It could well be a fellow Basschatter. You're welcome. 😀

    Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik

    I briefly ran a Mark Bass 102P with a 151P, and I didn't like it. A pair of 102Ps was a lot better. I've always run matching cabs ever since.

    I'm the newbie and there's quite a few things above that on the list of things to be having chats about that will refine the set. Things are really positive and moving forward, I need to be selective and focus.

    SWMBO has decreed that I have enough basses... Problem is she can't tell the difference between a MIM Fender Jazz and an American Professional II Precision... as long as they're both in Sunburst. So, this one is being quietly sold to make way... It's a 2014 Standard Jazz (Mexico), has a couple of dings - one on the head and the other just next to the bridge - both fairly small. Otherwise in good shape - usual scuffs on pickguard and pickup covers. Hard case included in sale. Cash on collection from Effingham (near Leatherhead/Guildford) in Surrey. You're most welcome to try before you buy.

    That is crazy. It's the bit that makes a relatively boring bass line interesting and they've screwed it. I would be having words.
  19. Passinwind
    I definitely think it feels more that way with a parallel wired MM pickup (i.e. in a stock Stingray) than say a set of Jazz ones with volume pots in front. But yeah, it's probably not the best call for those who want to cut a lot of signal in any case.

    I'm currently getting my head around playing "those sections" of Times Like These in 4/4 time instead of 7/4. I can see the logic in making the decision but it's not difficult to count 3 / 4 then 4/4 to get to 7. That one is a lazy shortcut and and is now 15 years ingrained into 4 people so I'm "re-learning" it.

    I’ve got a 1506ms - it’s a great instrument, and very similar to this I think. Really wonderful feeling neck. GLWTS

    Darkglass Anagram £750 Delivered in UK. Note that this has a small ding on the LHS which is reflected in the asking price. Comes with supplied case and power supply as well as a KnK shield which cost me a total of £70 to have delivered from Poland. https://www.darkglass.com/en-gb/products/anagram https://www.knkshields.com/products/anagram Apart from the ding it is in excellent condition. Purchased from guitarguitar in August 2025. With great irony it received the ding while I was fitting the protective shield. I was moving it on my desk and clipped the edge of my Apple Studio Display cracking the monitor's screen in the process. Thankfully I have Applecare+ or that would have been a very expensive repair. I've really enjoyed playing through the Anagram, I've owned all flavours of Helix and Quad Cortex and the tones from the Anagram were the best of the lot. Selling as I don't really have a use for it. I like to stick to a simple preamp/compressor board but do love trying out new kit. Potential buyers are welcome to demo in Glasgow.

    As I’d rather not take the hit of pxing I’d consider a Dingwall SP-1 five string, or a GR Bass combo or small cab in a trade plus cash, if anyone would like to swap?

    I've commented on this thread a couple of times, but I thought I add a bit more. Although I've been to the venue to watch gigs and played there, I never really got to know the people, or now person, running it. My current band (albeit covers) is less than a year old, and in that year, I have to say the guy running this place has been absolutely brilliant towards us. Help, advice a couple of good opportunities and bookings etc. He works incredibly hard on behalf of any of the bands around this way. I've nothing but thanks and respect for him. If this came up again I'd definitely give up an evening to play a few songs, no question.

    That post applies to pretty much exactly my situation in a previous band.

    I can understand changes made for practical purposes - maybe even little surprises like an extra chorus on the end, or a double-time section to wake the crowd up - but some of the examples you've given are just a bit...weird. Not to gloat, but when I've been in covers bands, they've typically clung quite faithfully to what was on the record. The biggest change I can remember making was coming up with an ending for Deep Purple's Black Night, because, as much as I love them, Deep Purple never seemed to know how to end a song!

    Yeah, mine's a feckin' coaster as well. When I loaded it first time, the player (OPPO 4K) just thought about it and then said 'no disc'. I loaded another blu-ray which I know to be fine and it played fine. I then reloaded BTLS and it did boot the disc, but was stuck in a one minute clip of Limelight/photo/video montage which recycled endlessly. What FB page is the thread on and is anyone doing anything about it? I know someone in the industry who has a bit of leverage with these things, but it's an old title. Not sure whether that makes any difference. I'll message him.

    We sometimes change stuff quite a lot, e.g. making a ska or reggae version of an existing song. Other things we just change a bit as at one point in time perhaps we kept messing up a part and simplified it, or didn't have the right instruments, or just didn't sound good when we played it - or certain bits sounded good so we extended them. There are a few songs we pretty much cover note for note, that makes it easy for practise at home and for deps but I think they are the most boring songs to play (and perhaps most boring for the audience too) with zero creative input, might as well have a DJ if the aim is to sound exactly like the original.
  33. MungoBass started following Gig Skinz padded carry bag ideal for amp heads, cables, spares, drinks, food, more food etc
  34. MungoBass
    Snazzy Gig Skinz padded carry bag. In used condition and with plenty of padding although the front (with the two pockets on) flap internal padding appears to have disintegrated and sounds like a load of Walkers crisps (other brands available) moving inside when you unzip the flap or turn the bag upside down. So I guess it’s best not to do either of those if you don’t like crisp noises! I have checked thoroughly but sadly couldn’t find any crisps. The internal dimensions of the main compartment are 40cms long, 30cms wide and 12cms deep, so it should be more than large enough for those wonderful modern lightweight heads. Price includes InPost locker service.
