Cor! Some absolutely gorgous basses there! Those two 4-strings are very similar to mine, I think my one's just a lot more beat-up but does have the original 80s mute bridge. How much is it worth? I don't know. I don't think it's collectible as it's post-EB and doesn't have the original case etc. I have to admit the idea of selling it with the option of selling / or swapping with the option of getting it back in the future really appeals. The only bass I've played in the past few years in a store that I had proper lust for was a Singray 5 string fretless. Oh. My. Days. That thing sang and thought it was really REALLY hard to play (I'm not experienced with a fretless) it sounded incredible with rounds on it. If I'd had £1800 in my pocket when I was in The Bass Gallery, I may have walked out with that thing!

Many thanks for your reply, advice, and recommendation. I think I'm settling into the prospect of a Rumble V3 100 -

Time has come to let go of this great bass rig. Had this for gigs but only got through one before the band had issues again. If I play again will be going to a power amp/modelling pedal and In ear setup as most of the places I can practice are quiet or have cabs available. Head was a purchase through Ashdown as a last chance with the warranty etc it has some dents scratches on it but all works great and is a powerful great sounding beast. I love Ashdown have had many over the years ABMs/CTMs/LBs this one is brilliant has all you expect from an ABM a professional level amp. 600w 9 band Eq Dual UV for input and output Speakon outs Foot switch option (not included) Size 135mm x 474mm x 320mm (£400 Ono collection preferably but could post at cost) Markbass MB58R 104 PURE Bass Cab 4ohm 800watt version This is a light exceptionally portable bass cab With great bass response which is surprising after you have carried it in. Has an adjustable tweeter and is just a great cab. Weight is around 16kg so an easy one person lift. Sounds great is great would keep it but is just taking up spare room space. Crossover Frequency: 3.5 Khz Frequency Response: 40hz to 20khz Sensitivity Db Spl: 103 Db Impedance: 4 Ohms Reflex: Rear 578mm x 600mm x 470mm (£500 on its own but collection only on the cab as wouldn't have a box etc) Any questions feel free to ask.

I notice a lot of you are using the Anagram as part of a pedalboard setup which needs a power source with more capacity. I use mine on its own so dont need extra power. I've kept the original Darkglass wall wart as a backup and use this Mooer power supply which I bought and used for the last 15 years and its still going strong. No hiss or glitches from it at all.

Ta daa! Up with the lark etc. Everything works as it should, however the neck (like my other one) needs a little shim to angle the headstock away just a bit. Annoyingly, the pickup rout is a bit of a mess because my router conked out (it's been in a box for about 18 months), so I simply reverted to the drill/chisel method. The reverse P (and the pickup location), offers quite a bit more whump/thump than in a regular position.

I used to have a Fender V3 100 combo and it was great. Extremely light and small, decent EQ, capable of competing with a quiet drummer live and unobtrusive for home practice. I then bought a Markbass CMD121P and it can do all of the above, as well as the Fender, but it has a better EQ and can really pump out the volume and compete with a loud drummer when playing live. I would recommend the Fender, because it's cheaper than a Markbass combo (if you're buying second hand or new) and you don't require an amp to pump out the volume, in a biker bar.

They know there’s an imminent influx of loan-laden freshers 😕 -
Its a P1-4S. Very whumpy!

If your budget was £2K max (preferably closer to £1.5K) with the following criteria, what would you go for? • Fender(ish) looks and feel, traditional 4 string • Passive • PJ configuration • Precision or v similar body, not offset / Jazz (too big and bulky for my short arse) • Jazz neck, maple board, 38mm at nut • Very high quality neck and fretwork, ridiculously low action achievable • Adjustable string spacing (somewhere between 18/19mm would be good) • Light-ish • Relatively readily available, let’s say 1 month wait max TLDR What are my options for a high quality PJ with a J neck?

Linus27 started following Bass Compression
-
I played for about 30 years without a compressor. I then switched to fretless permanently about 7 years ago and decided to give a compressor a go as some of the things I'd read said it was a benefit and because Pino uses one 😆 After a really good chat with @itu he suggested an optical compressor for fretless and recommend the Ampeg Opto as a starting point which had great reviews. I can honestly say it is incredible and has transformed my fretless playing and tone. I'm not sure exactly what it's doing but it just adds magic dust over my tone and makes it tighter and a lot more musical. Like I say, I've no idea what it's doing and I have it set quite subtle but I definitely know when it's not on and I couldn't live without out it. My chain is Bass > Tuner > Octave > Overdrive > Chorus > Reverb 1 > Reverb 2 > Compressor > DI

Each of the output taps that I have used (4ohm and 8ohm) has a jack socket and a Speakon socket in parallel. I'll always use the Speakon socket (unless I have no other choice) and the plug locks into place on those. There is no impedance selector swith - I don't trust them!

Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. This one is a cracker and was bought as my "forever" bass-sigh!. Although a short scale it it is a bit of a bulldog, by that I mean that it is solid and the chunky. It is also versatile bass with loads of punch and this one has the "premium" flame top. Lots of top players love these and as a result they are pretty rare beasts. I managed to find a Supro soft case that fits it, which is included. The pictures are from when I bought it from Bass Direct but it is exactly the same as it has only rarely been played and has never left my house! Here some blurb! The Supro Huntington I Bass is a superb short-scale bass from this legendary New York guitar and amp manufacturer. With an outstanding level of build quality, this bass will appeal to a wide range of players. It comes equipped with a single vintage Gold Foil pickup, plus a piezo pickup integrated into the High Mass bridge, giving it a huge array of tones. It is also extremely comfortable to play, thanks to its 30” scale and ergonomic neck join. Now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every instrument we sell goes through a rigorous check-over and professional set-up prior to shipment, ensuring you receive the very best possible example. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and beyond. The Supro 2041 Huntington 1 is a newly-designed, short-scale bass combining the classic body shape of the early ‘60s Ozark model with vintage-correct passive electronics and sonic inspiration from the Supro Pocket Bass of the same era. The unique Gold Foil pickup found in the Huntington I bass is an authentic replicas of the original “Clear-Tone” pickups found in the vintage Supro Violin, Taurus and Pocket Bass models. This high-output single coil delivers legendary, deep low-end, with very low noise and a massive, broadband sound that stays warm and balanced across the entire range of the instrument. The Supro Huntington 1 in Natural Mahogany also features a piezo pickup, built into the high mass bridge. This adds an acoustic bass sound via a toggle switch. When the piezo pickup is activated, the tone knob functions as a blender, allowing the player to mix in the acoustic sound to taste. The Huntington’s maple neck has a smooth, black satin finish and 30” short-scale length, with a glued in, set-neck joint that provides ergonomic access to the entire Pau Ferro fretboard. The set neck design, premium woods and high-end hardware along with the unique, vintage correct Supro pickups make the Huntington both a world-class recording bass and gigging workhorse instrument that is incredibly easy to play; especially for musicians accustomed to the shorter neck of a 6-string guitar. Although its scale is short, the sound of the Huntington bass is astoundingly large—boasting a tight, confident, buttery low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs.

Do the rules allow new entrants ¾ of the way into the challenge? Probably 🤷♂️
