    I bought the Ibanez Talman for my kids to learn to play, but after they cast it aside have found it to be a nice round the house bass, also because being quite cheap I don't worry about keeping it in a case to avoid knocks and scrapes (unlike my other instruments). It is very playable but I think the cheap electronics do not do it any favours (as multiple failed jack sockets over a relatively short time have proved). Indeed I now most often play it just acoustically. I suspect one of the main problems with short scale basses is the fact that the majority are fairly low end to cater for children/beginners, and hence they have a reputation for being low end.

    Makes a huge difference imo, I also think the rest of the preamp is better quality too - zero noise from the treble boost etc which wasn’t the case before

    @ash is selling a module which replicates the organ sound, here. You can connect it via MIDI-din, and use the Line In on your Yamaha PF-85 to amplify the sound. As for your next piano, I would suggest that you try before you buy. With your real acoustic piano, and your old but worthy Yamaha PF-85, your standards and requirements will be high. Certainly, I would suggest that you go for something better than what you have now, rather than a sideways move.

    Bass Bags / String Centre in Ripley, Derbyshire are very good - highly recommended and owned by a friend of mine.

    Lovely bass, but I think it's finished in sienna-burst, not sun-burst. Just sayin' as I have one just the same. GLWTS.

    Price dropped to £60!
  12. M@23
    Thank you. It’s a lovely sounding pedal. Price wise, hard to pin it down, so please let know if I’m stabbing in the dark and have an offer for me good folk of BC.

    Bump this to see if any more responses come through for you.

    As new condition. This was for a planned project that never happened. I unpacked it, had a quick trial and then put it back in the box. £70 collected. If you want it posted, cost will be around a fiver.

    Arpeggiator pedal

    I'm not sure what you're asking? With Moises you just drag and drop a mp3 file, at least that's what I do, and it takes it from there. Of course you need a mp3 to start with, so perhaps you need another app to download / purchase music files?

    If you're at all technically-inclined, I've been running a self-hosted docker container of MeTube to pull the mp3 track from YouTube vids. Obviously this won't cover all songs but a good start for anything that's on YouTube. As for anything else, well to stay on the right side of the law you'll need to be ripping your own CD collection or buying online - I'm not aware of any tools that can pull tracks from streaming platforms, and it'll very likely be against their Terms and Conditions to do so.

    Necrothread bump: Admittedly I haven't been great at updating this thread as originally intended because it's just been one disappointment after another. I sold the Boss SY200 recently because the arpeggiation wasn't user programmable, the Source Audio C4 was sold last year due to connectivity faff and the Alexander Colour Theory and the Cooper FX Moment Machine both did pitch based arpeggiation but didn't do ADSR. So two steps of the same pitch and duration became one step of double the duration which meant it couldn't trigger a bass synth pedal. And of course I could only uncover all of this after shelling out for one. BUT after 16 years...I think my quest might be over. In August this year, a small company called Polyend released a pedal called the Mess which does virtually every kind of sequenced effect plus a load of delays and reverbs. I finally got my hands on one today and while I've had only a modest muck about with it so far just checking out factory presets...it's absolutely capable of pitch based arpeggiation with ADSR and user programmable pitch intervals. I'll post more in a week or so after I've connected it to the mimmo modded Freeze and the Future Impact. https://polyend.com/mess/

    I may have asked this question at some point before so forgive if I'm found guilty of duplication. So tell us what you use for the above. I'll take this opportunity to wish people a Happy New year whilst I'm at it .
  23. Tradfusion
    Yes i contacted G4M support too and had the same experience, they don't know why its a problem and weren't very helpful to be honest... they must be made from lead with the weights quoted, shame as the prices are great
  24. Lozz196
    Those are silly-daft weights, especially for nowadays.
  25. thebrig
    Thanks for the replies. At my age I'm looking for a quieter life and Wymondham ticks all the boxes for me, some nice pubs and places to eat, just a few miles from Norwich, and not that far from the coast. Obviously it would be great if I could find a band, but if it doesn't happen, then it wouldn't be the end of the world because I've been thinking about calling it a day for some time.
  26. Lozz196
    Yeah I never really thought about short-scale basses, even though I leaned to play on one, til my back dictated the need. I was expecting a situation of "well that`s what I need to put up with" but was pleasantly surprised at how well they work for me.

    Not really - but might depend on what you're offering? One thing that springs to mind, is an EHX Mel9 pedal.

    That looks awesome, although your AI generated description puts me off - is the bass something that you've played and have some experience with?

    The Yamaha CK-61 is what I went for in that sort of price range second hand (I sold mine recently for £470). I had it for about 18 months and was impressed: The main downsides to consider: They keys are slightly thinner than the standard piano ones (I think it is 15.9cm per octave vs 16.4cm), doesn't sound much but I did find that noticable. Keybed is semi-weighted. I thought that was fine, but if you are into weighted piano keys then it could be an issue. 61 keys might be an issue if you are into playing 88 key piano stuff. But those downsides could also be seen as positives for it being relatively small and lightweight.
  32. TRBboy started following Jazz Bass control circuits (passive) - what works for you?
  33. TRBboy
    I've used the VBT circuit pictured at the start on 3 basses now, and it's my go-to! Seems to work well. I haven't bothered cutting the traces, and find it to be just fine. Just reflecting on the fact that I pretty much only ever use it centered, so next build may not have a pickup selector of any sort 😅
  34. karlbbb started following Harley Benton B550 - collected, free
  35. karlbbb
    Hi all, I've got a roughly ten year old Harley Benton B550 (specs here) that's been sat in the corner for over a year. It's in need of new strings, new battery, a bit of TLC and there's a few blemishes and minor dings around the neck and body. That said, all the electronics work fine so it's still a working bass. I'm having a bit of a clear-out/tidy up, so offering it for free if collected from Liverpool but will happily hand-deliver around the North West if needed. Hoping this will appeal to someone as a start of a project bass or something along those lines
