  3. 2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and happy to look at various options.

  4. I only use my wireless system for gigs and full band rehearsals, and only at the rehearsals because, for me, part of the reason for rehearsing is to check that all the gear I'm going to be using at a gig is working properly. The rest of the time I use cables.
  5. Hello mate, been a busy few weeks my apologies!
  6. I gig with a Boss WL20, but I have to use a NUX C-5RC (5.8GHz) at home as my amp is so close to the wifi router. The Boss has only had issues in one venue with wifi interference, and I quickly swapped to a cable. The battery life is also very good, and it has never failed me, even on long "3 set evenings". I loaned the Nux system to a fellow basschatter recently as he was doing a musical before Christmas, but he couldn't get through two sets before it ran out of juice. It hadn't been an issue for me at home, but this week, I'm finding that it's dying after maybe 90 minutes or less of playing, which is not even getting me through evening practice. I think the internal rechargeable batteries have reached end of life. I bought it secondhand about 2 years ago, and I've used it a lot. So I reckon I'm also in the market for a cheap 5.8GHz system to use at home. Rob
  7. It's the new world order. We all become one assimilated culture all speaking the same language, living by the same rules, using the same currency, eating the same food. I think there's a book about it.
  8. @chrismuzz ^^^^ Hey, please chack your DM in Facebook and eBay!
  9. If I hadn’t just bought the API comp I’d have had the UT&T.
  10. Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .

  12. @thumbo I've recorded some Luce X DCX clips... will put them up in the next few days. I think that's going to be a popular combo!
  13. I’ve always wanted one of these! Unfortunately having a grandmother and minitaur , means that I’ll have to pass . Have a bump anyway ! GLWTS
  14. Recording? Ewwwwwww, no. I use a wireless when practicing at home, when practicing with a band and when gigging. In fact the only time I don't use a wireless is when recording. It's not so much the 1% difference in sound, it's the latency and the (admittedly very slim) chance of a drop out.
  15. Good recommendations all, thanks. I'll update the thread for posterity when I get something.
  16. Thank you for doing this, very insightful with the blind taste test! For the P with flats it was very close for me between the Noble and Luce, I think they sound remarkably similar in the first round through my Audio Technica headphones. Both have a well-rounded sound that appeals. In round 3, the Mantle stood out to me for little more with that sparkle in the highs. So overall, not a clear cut one for me at all, they all sound nice and ultimately I feel like I'm splitting hairs. However, I am very impressed by the Luce. I will probably pull the trigger on one of these at some point because I can imagine it being an absolute gem when paired with other preamps that are taking a tone-shaping role. Intrigued to hear what it would be like adding some warmth to the harshness of my Rusty Box, or some valve goodness after a DCX Bass.
  17. I've got a Sonicake Pocket Master and very much like it with an SVT NAM profile I've loaded on to it and a bit of an EQ tweak. You can do all of the editing on the device itself (except NAM loading), or you can use the app. I do more practicing because I've got it. Combine it with a cheap wireless unit and then you've just got the headphone cable going to you. I've also got a Valeton GP-5, which is a great little thing too. No battery, so it needs power and you can't edit on the device itself, you need to use the app. That's where the GP-50 is a better bet for practice as you can edit on the device and it has a battery. I like the Mesa amp sim on my GP-5. I also think I'm going to put my GP-5 on my pedalboard so that I can have it on the spare output from my Boss GX-100 to use as an amp sim and headphone amp for practice when I want to use the whole shebang but not wake my daughter. (Yes, the GX-100 has amp sims built in, but I go out to my amp for gigs, don't want duplicate patches with an amp sim at the end just for practice) I have had a Mooer Prime P1 and it was the worst bit of gear I've ever purchased. I didn't like any of the sounds in it and I spent so long trying to find something half decent that I didn't practice. Then I'd turn it off being somewhat happy with the sound, but the next time I turned it on I would start the tone search again. With my Pocket Master and GP-5, I plug in and play.
  18. I bought a camera from Tom and it was a great experience throughout, packed and posted the same day and arrived in perfect condition. thanks Matt
  19. Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
  20. The Harley Benton Precision kit showed up yesterday and... although it clearly says P-Style on the box there was a jazz bass inside! Thomann have responded quickly and they're going to check the rest of their stock and get back to me. I did have a glance at the body and neck of the jazz kit, and I'm pretty impressed with the bones.
  21. Owned from new for around 12yrs, I bought this from Thomann and had it set up for Rockabilly. It definitely feels a step up from the entry level basses and I have used it live a lot. Most of its life has been more of feature in my living room though. The last couple of years I have been coming to terms with the fact that I need to sell it. Space is at a premium, it rarely gets used and I am of an age where the EUB seems the easier option. The specs are here Thomann link if anyone is interested. I added a pickup which has been useful - a David Gage Realist. People often call it a copper head. They’re industry standard and normally about £120 used. Mine is included with the bass at no extra cost to you. There is a tatty (by my high standards) gig bag and the strings are currently Gut-A-Like vintage ones Gut A Like strings You’ll see I added a few stickers. These should be fairly easy to remove. I’m happy to do it, or I can leave it. Equally I am happy to add more pictures. It’s currently lent against the wall in my place in Hungerford, where I am Sunday to Thursday evenings. Postage looks too hard to do so it would be a collection. I have gotten it in a Peugeot 107 before - not comfortably, so perhaps don’t bring the family if collecting!

  22. I’m a big fan of Boss pedals and have just re-done my board. I went a bit mad recently and have a fair few that are surplus to my requirements. All are boxed (initially the OC3 was listed as unboxed but I have since found the box) and only the super overdrive has Velcro on the bottom. I would grade these as at least 9/10 in terms of condition. Prices include UK postage. Boss Octave OC3 - £85 Boss Tuner TU3 - £70 Boss Super Chorus CH1 - £75 Boss Super Overdrive - £60 Boss Bass Overdrive - £80 I looked around online and believe these are priced to sell. Check my feedback thread and buy with confidence. PayPal or balance transfer preferred.

  23. These are great and I am only selling as I just upgraded to the BCB-90x. It’s set up with the daisy chain all in place. You just need to add your pedals and patch cables. Cut for six Boss sized pedals. Price includes UK postage. Check my feedback and buy with confidence. PayPal or bank transfer preferred.
  24. He is based in Yorkshire and we have spoken before about both coming up!
