Status Basses are not taking any new orders for now
Russ replied to joe_geezer's topic in Bass Guitars
They'd attracted a lot of business from younger players in recent years who wanted the Chris Wolstenholme or Alex Venturella sound - Alex was supposed to be getting a new signature model based on the B-2 shape before Rob shut things down. He was playing a prototype during the last couple of Slipknot tours. -

I don't know the physics behind it, but for me a tapered string is much richer in harmonic content, which I suspect is because it has a much cleaner break over the witness point on the bridge. It'll otherwise have exactly the same, more or less, low end as any other string of the same gauge. At the end of the day, all strings are a thin core with wire wrapped around it, with tapered ends. I like both, depending on the bass. My stingray loves a tapered B, my Alpher doesn't. No idea why!

Mods, would this post be better off in Repairs & Technical? I'll respond to the post tomorrow. I've rescued 6 of these so can add a bit of value.

Sadly selling this ridiculously beautiful precision bass solely because of my tiny hands. Can't get on with the neck at all, I'm more of a jazz/jag neck guy so it's time for this to go. It's in absolutely great condition for its age, with only the one wee ding in image number 9. Recently had a setup with my main man Alec, and it's strung with flats. Obv. 🤣 Comes in a Fender gig bag as pictured. Not really looking for a trade as I'm intending to finally get an ACG, or a short scale Rickenbacker. Welcome to try it out, and PM me about meeting halfway somewhere. Based in the South of Scotland in Dumfries.

I bet the bloke with the spiky hair was someone famous you didn't recognise. I was once negotiating a purchase at a music shop and Ronnie Size walked in. In an instant it was as if I became invisible and inaudible. I think the staff were all deeply in love with Ronnie.

What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?
nilebodgers replied to Supernaut's topic in General Discussion
Lol - I’ve always fancied a Stingray, but they have always been just that bit too expensive for my tastes. -

I bought a Fender MIM p bass from David - a more perfect seller there is not; comms brilliant, packaging virtually bulletproof, and the bass itself far exceeds any expectations, a very happy Basschatter over here! Please do not hesitate to deal with in absolute confidence. Thank you David!

I really like that… tempted!

I have never visited the store, I'm a little far. I have bought a few things from them over the years, mostly FX pedals/strings, but not many, because I often felt a bit 'meh' about their email communication. My last interaction (a few years ago) was just rude, I felt, and I never went back. But... credit where it's due. I have observed this thread with interest, and it does look like they are addressing many of the complaints. This weekend I was looking at buying a set of "Thunderbrown" strings for my little 23" GoldTone bass... and there weren't in stock in most places. BUT... Bass Direct had 1 set in stock, the website indicated. So I decided to give it a go. I placed the order on Sunday, and I received them today, around 48h later (despite ordering on a Sunday!). I got emails confirming the order, confirming dispatch, and even tracking information... for a measly set of strings. I'm impressed. @Bass Direct I am very glad to see how you've improved the online side of the business. Thank you!

I also liked my full fat version TC Spark Booster. I'd like to try the Ampeg Scramber at some point as well.

Well, that was an interesting journey. Thank you all who walked with me. As is the BC way, I got sucked into a vortex and managed to borrow 3 sets of monitors, topping out at a £2.6K pair. Once everything was Sonorworks'd it seems that my old HiFi B&W boxes are (for my purposes), just fine and dandy. Were the £2.6K boxes nicer? Yes, of course they were. Significantly better in a way that changed everything from black and white into colour? No. So there we have it.

For sale is my mint condition Special Edition Walrus Audio Slo multi texture reverb pedal. This is a beautiful clean reverb pedal with a host of multi functionality and settings to create some wonderful effects. It has three modes, Dark, Rise and Dream, all capable of creating unique and atmospheric sounds. Dark adds a lower octave to your reverb trail. Rise is an auto-swell, slowly lifting the effect through the frequencies and Dream is closer to your classic latching pad reverb with atmospheric tones and vibrato. It also has the ability to sustain to create a trail along with 3 waveforms to choose from. The feature I used mostly is the rising swell where you play a note with the pedal pressed and it fades in and just keeps building and swelling until you take your foot off the pedal. Sounds amazing when used with an octave pedal and can sound very orchestral like a cello. The pedal is in mint condition and comes complete with instructions, eye candy and box. Price is £110 which includes postage and collection from Camberley is available.

Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-108 - Excellent Condition £70
rwillett posted a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Now reduced to £70. I now seem to have a surplus of amps, I've just got a valve Laney LC15R for guitar, both my Basschat 8" icabs are finished and I do have a large bass bin in the garage. This means I need to start to reduce some of the stuff I don't really use. So I'm looking to pass the Ampeg RB-108 on. Brought two years ago from Promenade Music in Morecombe, never been gigged (sadly), never really been played loud to be honest It's solid state, 30 watts and sounds great with both bass and guitar, just turn the bass EQ down a bit for guitar It's a great practise amp, perhaps junior or juniorita might need a nice (and cheap) practise amp for their new bass they got for Xmas. Details from the website: Power: 30 watts @ 4 ohms Speaker: 1x 8" Ampeg Controls: Volume, Preamp with 3 band EQ SGT overdrive switch (Super Grit Technology) Inputs: 6.3 mm jack input 0 dB and 6.3 mm jack input -15dB, aux in Headphone out Dimensions: 433 x 411 x 306 mm Weight: 10.5 kg It's in excellent condition. There is a tiny blemish on one side which is noted in one of the pictures below. That's the only issue and the rest is as-new state. It comes in the original and undamaged box, however I do not have the polystyrene bits that go around it and given the weight and price, postage could be a right hassle. I live near Settle in North Yorkshire and you are welcome to come and try it, and I'll throw in as much tea and chocolate biscuits as you can handle. I often work in Manchester so anything around the M6 down to Manchester/Liverpool is an option for delivery, as is Skipton to the South East and Penrith to the North. Sheffield is also a possibility as I can work there if needed. Interesting trades are welcome with cash either way. However I seem to have a number of guitars, basses, amps (hence I'm selling this) and modellers. I am looking for a interesting decent (but not a dreadnought) quality acoustic, preferably with built in pickups. Something like an Auden or similar, yes I know the cash would be significant coming from me You can just see the blemish here-

The End of Tonewood ... or Tone-anything!
Richard R replied to BassApprentice's topic in General Discussion
That's a really interesting experiment. I think there needs to be safety chains on the "bridge" magnet to stop it crashing into the "tailpiece" magnet in the event of a string break. And it did crack me up that the video is sponsored by injury compensation lawyers! -
Apologies for the AI slop - but anodized gold is the way to go here

Agreed, I did like the Lego look, but the black is cooler.

Linus27 started following MXR Bass Synth

For sale is my MXR Bass Synth. I wanted to try one of these for the Michael Jackson presets as I'm a huge Thriller and 80's fan and they sound excellent. The Sledgehammer preset is also brilliant but my favourite presets were the Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder one's. However, I'm a fretless bassist and I'm too much of a traditionalist and in my happy place with just a chorus, octave and reverb so I'm going to let this go for someone else to try. Fully working and in mint condition and has only been used once at home to give it a try. Comes with velcro on the base and comes with the original power supply and everything else that came in the box. Price includes UK postage or collection from Camberley.
