What a thing! IMO the wear on this shows exactly why artificial ageing looks naff - that big buckle rub in the shape of South America with an odd map projection is wonderful. -
This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers -
Got this in a trade on here recently but it’s just not got much use. Between the green Russian and the grey stache that I own I have my fuzz needs covered. This one is two big muffs running in parallel, one of them has a standard tone control, the other has a mid boost/cut. Certainly a lot to play with and a lot of sounds to be gotten out of it! No original box with this but will be packaged securely. Price will include postage in the UK-

Now £400 excluding postage. Last drop. Crazy price for a virtual spotless Bacchus. If it’s not gone in a couple of weeks I will keep it. David -
Yea they were the industry standard through the 70' to 90's but I'm not sure how many people are putting a boss pedal in their top 5's these days. They spawned a whole cottage industry of modders and their short comings were as responsible for industry standards of boutique pedal world as their size and controls.

Almost had a Basil Fawlty type moment, though just about spared beating my Jazz Bass... I play on headphones 100% time at home, and pretty much only use the Jazz to record these days. Been making a tune for the Sept competition comp and though I'd try my Jazz as I've not recorded with it since last year. But on one quiet section where I hold a note, the note fades and the hums steps up. Some Lindy Fralin dual coil would sort it, but then so would selling the bass, I just don't use it enough. Might try the branch beating first though, I quite like the bass.... This isn't a post about shielding, grounding, or getting rid of the hum, it's exacerbated by where I play...this post is just that I've had enough really - anyone else been there?

You’re better off getting a standard short scale bass because then you’ll have a better choice of strings etc. I’d say Squier Bronco is the way to go. I love mine.

Traveler Guitar TB-4P Bass SBT B-Stock – Thomann UK https://www.thomann.co.uk/traveler_guitar_tb_4p_bass_sbt_b_stock.htm I standby these, I think they're excellent.
-
This is good advice. I kept a short scale bass at work to noodle on a lunchtime, but I found that when I picked up my "regular" bass, it took a bit of acclimatisation. A "cricket bat" bass may be the way forward.
-
That's looking good. I imagine you will have a lot of fun tweaking things like the knobs (as mentioned) and the control cavity cover. I had a chuckle to myself when I saw how the G string obscures the view of your "deliberate" mistake of leaving out the line in the note's tail. Did I see you had managed to fix it in an earlier image? Why not make a feature of the rotted part? Maybe a bit of faux gold filler to make it stand out. Transparent coloured fillers can look good too. Wire brush the rotten fragment out to leave an interesting texture and wah-hay!

Oh, it has many fans! Me included 😅

Small bass for cramped public transport
Baloney Balderdash replied to zonular's topic in Bass Guitars
I am really happy with my Ibanez Mikro Basses. And the GSRM20B model in Weathered Black finish even look pretty damn amazing: 28.6" scale length, and fits perfectly in a regular guitar gig bag. Current production models features an Okoume body, Maple neck and Purpleheart fretboard. Swap the stock pickups out with a P/J pair of EMG Geezer Butler or DiMarzio Model P/Model J, according to preferences and taste, and you are golden. -
Multiple Wows!! Looks great, but I agree you need to swap the control knobs. Black and grey to match the headstock?

Small bass for cramped public transport
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to zonular's topic in Bass Guitars
The Squier Mini Precision is very nice and fits in any standard strat/tele gigbag. -
Left it for a few days, then did a proper flatten and polish - 1500 > 2000 > 2500 grit wet sanding followed by Meguiars Ultimate Compound for the final polish. First time using Meguiars and wow, I'm sold. The compound plus a microfibre cloth and job's a good 'un! Not quite the "sheet of glass", but for a first go by an absolute beginner amateur who has never done anything like this before in his life, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. It looks... intentional? Looks better than this IRL. The camera does lie! So, as you can gather, it's all back together again. Gave the fretboard a drink of lemon oil which it greedily accepted. I can happily proclaim the outcome of my first ever full fret level and crowning to be a success - no high frets, no buzzes, very happy with that! It's playing pretty damn well, took a setup like a champ. Truss rod on this super cheap neck is working great - obviously it was pretty slack from when I was doing the fret level, so when I put a fresh set of D'addario XLs on it it bent like a banana. No matter, a full turn on the truss rod and it was back to straight - actually too straight for my liking so I loosened it about an 1/8 of a turn and then there was a sliver of relief - just how I like it. Nut height feels OK to me - I'm no expert but I'm whizzing around the low frets no bother so I guess it's good. There are only some minor things to sort out now. The rotten bit at the bottom/back of the body. I'm not wedded to these amber speed knobs. I get quite a bit of touch buzz off the pole pieces of the Warman pickup and because it's fully epoxy potted, there's no way to earth them from the back, so unless I've done something wrong in the wiring, I'll have to do the old "lacquer/nail varnish on the pole pieces" trick. And because some of you care about these things, it weighs 3.7kg/8.15lbs on the bathroom scales. It's not a heavy bass by any means, but it has enough heft to keep me happy.

I think they could Lozz, I only use labella myself, I’d say maybe look at the 760FL or if you want a lighter gauge the 760FX, they really aren’t dull and thumpy like some say, there’s lots of mids and brightness to them, i roll mine back for what I play but imo they do the full range , pretty sure Sean Hurley uses the 760FL

QSC CP12 Active PA Speaker 1000 Watts One of two - priced individually or for a small discount if sold as a pair. This speaker is as new and has not been used since purchase. It comes with additional QSC waterproof cover for outdoor use. Very powerful speakers however I’m downsizing and selling my larger portable PA gear. Street price is £579 cheapest I can find so this is a good saving. The covers cost an extra £67. The user manual is included. I have two of these for sale. I can knock off £40 if you buy the pair. Pickup definitely preferred but talk to me if this is impossible. UK only. Postage would be at buyer’s cost and I’d need to source packaging as the boxes have been recycled. These speakers get glowing reviews in Sound on Sound magazine - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/qsc-cp-series I own a pair of QSC CP8s which are perfectly fine for keyboard monitoring and rehearsal PA so these aren’t needed now for personal use.

Not quite but it does make some weird, wonderful and musical noises! -
Had a talman shorty, very impressed. My daughter stole it while moving out 😅
-
To be honest it’s got the same strings it came with, which I’d imagine are short scale and then cut down. The Tanglewood probably ain’t what you’re after for a season of proper gigging. Something like a secondhand Squier Mustang or Ibanez Talman etc are much better more solid basses (the Tanglewood was for my son to learn on.)

Yes, of course, and the very best session musicians, the likes of Chuck Rainey, Marcus Miller, Anthony Jackson, Pino etc., have/had the skills and theory knowledge to ensure they knew to create interesting lines which perfectly outlined the harmony, and could listen to what the producer/artist wanted them to play and interpret that appropriately; they didn't get gain their reputations by just being 'good enough'.
