  3. Philly started following GMR Soundboard custom 4 - Trade for a 5 string
  4. Philly
    A tentative trade offering - I recently traded a 5 string for this and now need to get a five string back in the arsenal so its last in first out! This is a great bass, it is all that I wanted, playability is effortless, weight is great for long gigs and it looks stunning. I've lifted the quote below from a previous sale of this which explains the bass better than I can! I will add a link to the last ad, but I've added some new sunny photos. 'These were very expensive new and this has had a lot of work done to it. It had a pro set up at ATB guitars and sports a customised Bartolini preamp from Dex audio with a very narrow range that just keeps it all super useable in the real world. Controls are: volume, bass, treble, with a pull for low mid boost and a switch for each pickup to toggle between series/parallel/single coil It has an almost Stingray ish sound from the humbuckers and is surprisingly warm and rich. Neck is slim and flat, like a jazz bass meets a status, the most comfy neck I’ve ever owned. (In Over 300 basses!!) The balance is spot on and the truss works fine etc. ' A 5 string version of this would suit me perfectly but they are as rare as the proverbial rocking horse.., so ideally a lightweight jazz of some sort, ideally passive would be good. Thanks Phil

    Looking forward to this

    IME DI100s have an earthing system that can cause some instruments not to work with them, especially anything with a non-standard PSU.

    Ghostwheel, if memory serves, weren't the EX Stingrays made in Japan? 🤔

    If I can be ar$ed, I'll do an up to date picture one day.
  9. bertbass started following Fault finding an issues with a tweeter array... Is there a right way to check?
  10. bertbass
    Ask Bill fitzmaurice. The cab is his design. All the information you need can be found here, https://billfitzmaurice.info/ and you can buy the plans for your cab on the site as well then you'll have all the info you need. I can tell you that there is no crossover in the cab and that the resistor is there to prevent ultrasonic oscillations. The piezos have to be the right ones and that the cab is designed to use only those tweeters anything else won't sound right or have the right dispersion.

    It’s demonstrably not in your gift to decide for yourself what is or isn’t racist.

    So what?

    No I have little interest in Fender shaped basses and even less in fake aging. However the reason for my initial comment is that it seems to me the market for Fender copies is already massively over-saturated at every price point from Harley Benton all the way up to Celinder and similar, so I have a morbid interest to know what each new entrant in this market thinks they can add that isn't already available. After all the Fender bass is now getting on for 70s years old with no significant changes to the two core models for about 50 years, and they were created with express intention of being simple to produce using 40s technology and relatively unskilled labour, which means that pretty much anyone with a workspace, tools and modicum of woodworking knowledge can make one. If I wanted a Fender copy with fake aging there are already numerous sources for one - off the top of my head Limelight, Nash and even the Fender Custom Shop, and I'm sure there's more than that; and for one that looks new the choice is almost endless. So what does this maker bring that hasn't already been done before?

    This is exactly the kind of self-righteous indignation I'm talking about. So now the benchmark of racism is non-adherence to the doctrine of the Guardian newspaper.. It's not within your gift to decide on my behalf what is and what isn't racist. I'll make my own mind up, thank you very much. I'm perfectly capable of doing so. And if I did enjoy the company of people who didn't fulfil your expectations of what's acceptable, it really wouldnt be any of your business. Moreover, you do me a great disservice in implying that by associating with people who have whatever opinions that I would be endorsing those views or be susceptible to them.

    Now THAT is a bass collection 🙏

    Extremism and bigotry both have definitions which are easily found with a quick search.

    Overall, I reckon the real answer to this question is "the one I want"!

    Highway One Fender basses - Y'know, the Mexico made and painted bodies sent for final build in Corona with Grease Bucket tone circuit and Nitro finish with BadAss II bridges. Rare as hen's teeth, and people obviously tend to keep hold of them.

    Never had any significant problems with the DI100s deployed by techs at small venues. I've generally found DI20s to be quite noisy and/or susceptible to interference, though, which is a shame as they're handy in concept.
  22. BigRedX
    No electronic device is 100% transparent, so by all means for this application start with something inexpensive and if the results are satisfactory then that's all you need.
  23. Steve Browning
    I have tried to correct this paucity by having 12 of them now. 🙂
  24. binky_bass
    Why so few P-Basses? 😆
  25. Steve Browning
    Only 4 of those remain, even the sofa's gone!

    I have thought about getting a second Dingle… the Neve preamp has a bit of a crackle. It’s happened to a couple of them apparently, Dingwall will send a replacement and Bass Direct will swap it out. May take a few weeks though.

    Adrian bought my Zoom MS-60B. Very easy transaction - great communication and prompt payment. Thanks!
  29. MungoBass
    There is a great range of tones available with these and as you say, amazing heads. I didn’t know the amp could be removed! Nice tip!
  30. Steve Browning
    They're the two at the back, on the left. Nice to play for sure.
