What new gear should be produced?
Beer of the Bass replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Possibly a niche concern, but I'd love to see double bass string makers looking at the field of lively, sustaining metal core strings. Thomastik Spirocores have been around over 50 years and are still the state of the art in that area, and almost every new string on the market in the last 20 years is aiming for a darker, more damped gut-like sound to varying extents. -

I'm mainly EB player, but got very cheap upright to play blues in local 'Monday band'! Ended up getting involved in/asked to do all sorts of upright work - way beyond my expectations or capabilities - so invested in lovely Bryant, I think @ 2008, after using EUB (really nice custom order Knutson Luthiery). The EUB, while really good, lovely to play, with a great 'hybrid' semisolid sound, coupled with convenience for transport, is not an acoustic at the end of the day. Serious illness/extended hospital stay in early 2010's meant I 'lost my hands', never regaining touch I had managed to achieve beforehand. Upright has been very little used in recent years. The bass comes with Realist pickup fitted, a really good quality well padded carrying case and a stand, as well as a good German bow that cost me 685 quid in 2008! Any questions/comments welcomed - not to mention offers! (heron not included:-))

Just added my latest addition - Keely Bassist, purchased from BC this week. Everything I now need and an absolute tone monster for a mid range board. Once I’m back in the black, I’m going to swap Hot Wax and Battalion out for a Pork & Pickle and a Tech-21 VT. But no upgrades until I find some cash. For now this will do very nicely.

I have tried to stick with old-school 5-pin DIN MIDI, but after some unsuccessful studio sessions with descant recorder, I've just bought an Akai 'electronic wind instrument' (EWI). The budget model only has USB midi - plugging it into my MIDI hub didn't work, so I had to do some learning about USB hosts, and USB clients. The upshot is I changed my U4MIDI WC hub for the H4MIDI WC which includes a USB host. Bingo! Now the EWI works through the Roland XV3080. I'll try to record a video over the weekend. Inside the rack: ... and on the front, a shiny-new 'usb host' port. Annoyingly I didn't think to see if there was a black one. Oh well!

About a year old and immaculate. Decided I want another Warwick so this is going. Will also include the original black guard but personally, I think it looks better with the tort. (Cost £20) Lovely low action, plays really nice. No dings, digs or scratches. These are now £399 new from the big sellers so if you're in the market, save yourself £100 £295 in the same condition as a new one. Can post as I have a bass carton. Will come with a nearly new set of rounds as currently has flats on. Welcome to come and try. Ashill IP25

So, I may have just wondered over to Bass Direct online. Been wanting another 4 string super light for a while different to my current TT SL for a bit of variety…got the royal approval then this just happened below (under 6lbs)…Monday hopefully! Probably sell my 5 string SL TT - don't want to but I really don't use it…and someone out there will need that beauty.

I guess I use mine as an instrument/ keyboard and I see it as an interface in a signal loop in the middle of whatever software holds the sounds.

Current writing/rehearsal board. The Blackhole replaced the Walrus Lore, and has changed the way i play ambient. Just waiting on a Russian Bif Muff to replace the R.Attack for that warm fuzzy drive.

Thanks. Have another biscuit ! These are stunning basses in appearance, even better than my photos and the pickups / preamp don’t disappoint either. I couldn’t find any other preowned one’s for sale in the UK currently so this is a great chance for somebody to enjoy a magnificent bass. Cheers. Quent

Not that being first is a win in this thread, but my post above is a confession. Money has changed hands. A bass is travelling across the sea.

These are great basses, and this one is more than fairly priced. I had two identical to this one, but stupidly sold one. Just wish I had the funds to get this beauty. IMO these are the best P-Lytes - good paint finish and chrome hardware, both improvements on the first issues which had easily marked finishes as well as gold hardware which tarnished quickly. GLWTS.

OK - first trial of the Swiff WX520s today. Two negatives: 1) When you turn them on there is a distinct, albeit quiet, white noise hum 2) They need to be line of sight. I had a quick walk round and as soon as there was something between me and the transmitter the signal dropped out But on the the positives they are a really neat, compact, design, they definitely work, and as soon as a signal comes through you forget about the hum. I also didn't realise they accept balanced xlr, 6.35mm mono or stereo, AND 3.5mm stereo - giving all the options. You can also switch between +4dBu or -10dBV or instrument level, the latter triggering a gain control for amp free practice. Finally the transmitter is also rechargable so you don't need to plug it in either. All in all I think I forgive the two negatives as for £150 its a pretty good package.
