    EB Hybrid Slinky shortscale rounds for me, 45-105. I don't like the sound of new strings but these seem to bed in quickly and retain decent tone.

    BTW love it, wonder how the leather affects degree of contact at the bridge and neck plate?

    Is that tone leather?

    Looks like they're bringing their RM series production to the UK, and calling it the UK-RBM series. Website hasn't caught up yet and links are currently 404. There are new cabinets to go with the amplifiers. All very tasty stuff.

    If Donald Trump was a bass player and ordered a custom Stingray it would look exactly like that 50th Anniversary model. All that gold! It's horrendous. I'm sure it will be very popular. I wonder if they are offering any other colours for bass players who don't aspire to be Liberace? I'm not keen on any of the new Stingray Special colours either. It's a shame because I'm in the market for another Stingray. That Tech21 Geddy Lee Retirement Fund chorus pedal looks good, though. A bit surprising though, because you don't necessarily associate Geddy Lee with that effect. I know he's used it, but not much.

    A small but powerful modular system I put together based around a Moog Mother 32 synth and sequencer. I added a Doepfer LFO A145 for increased modulation possibilities. I also added an Erica PICO DSP for onboard effects such as delays, chorus and reverb. There is a Doepfer mixer A138 and Behringer CP1A power supply. The modules are housed in an official Moog 104 HP case with some rack space left for more modules. The unit is unboxed and comes with mains adapter, patch leads as pictured. There is no midi lead included. The units are in very good condition and the Moog unit was recently serviced. The case has a cosmetic scratch at the front as pictured. I can include some extra rack screws. It’s compact but quite heavy as there is a lot packed into a small space! It is a great introduction to modular with plenty of patch options for experimentation. The Mother 32 has an onboard sequencer and small rubber ‘keys’ so it can be used standalone using headphones or an amp. It can be triggered by external midi or cv controllers. Selling as a complete unit. Pickup preferred but I can post UK only at buyer’s cost. It’s worth looking at reviews of each module to get a better perspective of what they can do. I’ll list on here to see if there is any interest before trying the usual…..

    Is there a finer colour scheme?

    I've just ordered myself a new soldering station and am planning on replacing the electronics on this bass for new shiny bits so if you are interested in this and want to buy it in it's original form then now's the time, otherwise I will rewire it and include the original parts when it sells.
  17. Delberthot
    Still only done that 1 gig in 2023 and literally only brought out when I need to learn a new song for the band which isn't that often.

    Hi guys! Yesterday this popped up on my Facebook and I fell in love with it. admittedly, it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but I’ve never been one for anything normal. I bought it from a lad in Italy (I believe he’s on here somewhere). I paid around £700 for it, not including the postage. I’m not interested in what people think it’s worth. I am, however interested to find any information about it or if anyone else has ever seen it before or has anything similar. For example: was it done as a limited edition in the factory (it says limited edition on the stock).. was it done as an aftermarket modification.. Whatever the answers are, I’m very excited to get this on stage because I think it’s wonderful. fyi - it’s not real snake skin I’m assuming it’s some form of leather wrap.

    Need to move this on, offers welcome.

    Yes, a nice feature of the MFD pickups is the individually adjustable pole pieces. According to the G&L website a modern L-1000 fretboard radius is 9 1/2”, so the Harley Benton Precision kit I’ve ordered should be the same. I’m more concerned about string spacing - the MFDs are designed for roughly 18.25mm rather than Precision 19mm - but I’m going to see how it all works as is and adjust as necessary!

    Got to say, I do like the look of those Cort GB shortscales. They look a lot of fun. Almost tempting for £299 And I didn't see the Quad Cortex Mini coming. A little friendly competition for the Anagram perhaps? This can only be a good thing for both platforms

    I was the first customer to have Status fit a graphite neck to my 70s jazz bass. It felt great, but ultimately the shift in the mids took something away from its character. I hear the same when listening to Mark playing his Status and Jaydees; both great, it just depends on your preference.

    The EHX was posted on another forum last week and was partially responsible for my mini rant about consumer grade computer connectors and external PSUs with no-latching connectors earlier in this thread.

    I don't think anyone can really be sure until it's all opened up , right now the release button is not releasing the XLR ... we have two identical cables and Cabs one for each side , EV's and Andertons brand "Rean" XLR's ... one side released fine the other is stuck in the cab. The XLR release presses the xlr budges a bit towards you but the cable will not , no matter what you do come out, The google based " wisdom of the internet" Suggests using a poor quality cable could cause this sort of issue but could equally be a failed coupling release . Either way Andertons have both and when i go to collect I expect to get the XLR back for " Analysis "

    Hi Steve, A kind Redditor linked me to your post, and I wondered if you could share some of your experiences with the assembled models such as the Chieftain? A Chieftain I bass recently came into my possession and I’d love to know more about it, particularly if it’s possible to get a rough age of the instrument. It has been in its case for most of the last ~40 years and after a quick setup, it is sounding fantastic - I have not been able to put it down! I have linked some pictures below, apologies in advance for the questionable photography… https://postimg.cc/gallery/HJ9kWhB

    Ernie Ball Cobalts for me, I just chopped down standard length sets.

    It's a question of balance Roto 66 sound brilliant for a gig or three. Fender nickels sound ok, for six months. Flats avoid the problems by sounding meh from the start, and feel horrid.

    Nice! Although for me, the winner as far (as the paint-jobs go) is still the Sterling Ray 34 Purple Sparkle so I wish they'd use that colour scheme. It seems that Purple Sparkle Sterling Ray 34 was released in 2022, had problems with tuners and has since been on 'in stock soon' for every shop but never actually becomes available....which is possibly a good thing for me as I like: lightweight, passive (or at least passive/active switch), front facing jacks, a pickup in the Jazz bass type neck position for reggae type tones...so it ticks none of those boxes, but none of that matters when it ticks the big funky box that is purple sparkle!
  36. Stub Mandrel
    Good luck Dave. I've got 3 January gigs, 7 February and 7 in March 🤯
