    I had a few hours to myself today so managed to knock this up, we've got visitors and I'm away for a couple of days so I just about managed to get something done. pretty simple, guitar, bass , EZ drummer a few FX and the dulcet tones of an angel , wrapped in Ozone and oozing gently onto your favourite personal playlist for years of appreciation.

    Oh, more importantly, it's finished! I'll take some better pictures tomorrow when I have some daylight, but here's a decent enough shot of the completed bass. I think it looks rather nice, and it sounds good as well. I've attached a quick bit of noodling, recorded direct into my interface with no tinkering. It's neck position, both pickups on, and bridge position. I've since raised the bridge pickup a little, so it should sound a bit less feeble. Untitled.mp3 Thanks to @Chienmortbb for being willing to part with this project bass, @PaulThePlug for his Hohner/Steinberger knowledge and @Jackroadkill for his 3D printing work. Also, special thanks to the cheap white-and-orange beach towel/workbench cover that stars in many of these pictures. My mum bought from a Leclerc in Brittany during a family holiday about 30 years ago, and it's only recently occurred to me that I have no idea how or when it ended up rolled up in a cupboard in my house.

    Mostly wiring and electronics stuff today. I started by sawing the old broken tabs off the front pickup and installing the replacement baseplate suplied by @Jackroadkill. As this isn't going to be a visible part, I didn't bother doing any prep or refinement here other than cutting off a corner to accommodate the cable (which was in a slightly different position to where it was on the baseplate) and using a soldering iron to press some threaded inserts into the plastic. With that done, and the 3D printed surrounds sanded and lacquered, I started putting things together. I don't have any pictures of this, because anyone who has ever wired up a guitar will know that the process is extremely annoying and requires intense concentration. I did it without burning myself, and only had to desolder the whole thing, make a cup of tea, and start again once. Which is good going.

    Here you go, Dave. That was a lovely trip down memory lane! 54 years old - I was 8 when this came out and didn't hear it until I was in my later teens. Happy days, when everything was exciting and new. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/mockingbird-barclay-james-harvest/

    Did you put new pickups in it in the end? I put some GM Thumpers in my black one, as I read that Alinco should be more 'vintage' sounding (although I dont know my @rmpit from my elbow really)

    It's always a crime scene when I play!

    Thanks I agree it does probably have some more charm ramp-free but I enjoyed the playing comfort it provided...

    3 possible reason: 🙂 1. They stop gigging Looking at the pedalboard thread on this forum I don't think gigging has anything to do with owning an extravagant pedal board! 2. They realized how practical multi effect units are Ironically, and possibly in contradiction to your point 1, it seems a lot of people who do the most gigs use multi fx - certainly the last few stage shows and big tribute bands I have seen have all used Line6 Helix's (Helices?). 3. They are in separation from their partner and forgot the pedal board when they moved out They lost their lover, not their love!! 4. (Bonus) They realized tone is in the fingers What???? 5. (Extra bonus) They grew up and started playing upright ....yes I see the point, although evidence from many years gigging suggests that most of us think we play better when legless!

    Check down the back of the sofa. Last time I did I found 3 quid in change and a Boss ODB3!

    Moving on this stunning Maruzczyk/Mensinger Joker B 6P Hollowbody 30". It has only seen use at home as it never really fit into the bands/sessions I am frequently involved with and has lived in its case for the best part of a year now. It's in mint condition and has great playability for a 6 string thanks to the ultra compact scale length. It's also surprisingly versatile sounding with its inclusion of a wiring switch for the pickup and a notched 10 position Stellartone filter (in place of a regular tone control). My idea for this bass was go simple but high quality, ergonomic and well thought out and I feel it hits these 3 points very well. Specification: Swamp Ash Body (Hollow) 3 Piece Maple Neck w/ Carbon Rods Wenge Fingerboard w/ White Inlay 17.5mm String Spacing 24 Medium Jumbo Frets Graphtech Nut w/ Zero Fret Back Mounted Strap Pin Delano Xtender Humbucker (Passive) Parallel, Series & Single Coil Switch Stellartone B10 Tonestyler Hipshot B Bridge Aluminium Hipshot Lightweight Tuners Custom Wenge Front/Rear Ramp (front attached, rear included) Removable if desired! Currently strung w/ Fodera Medium Gauge Nickel Set Included: Sturdy & Padded Gig Bag Allen Key for Bridge Adjustment Certificate of Authenticity Gruvgear 6 String Bass Nut Mute (quite handy for non 6 string players who are transitioning) I have priced as such based on the condition and spec, and considering this bass cost nearly £2500 brand new I feel £1800 is a reasonable place to start. I am seeking collection, unless a buyer wishes to risk courier but I'd highly suggest an in-person meet. Serious offers are welcome & absolutely happy for buyer to try upon collection (cuppa included) Comments, likes, bumps and shares appreciated! Many thanks - Adham

    Hi Kev, afraid he doesn't know anyone there anymore. He's not played it for a long time. Sorry he couldn't help. Dave

    There aren’t many Serek basses around. There was one in The Gallery which was a bright orange colour, it sold recently. I have looked high and low and the only ones I can find seem to be elsewhere in Europe the US and Japan.

    Very nice! How "StingRay" do those Artecs sound?

    Maybe the Behringer BDI21 would be the place to start... Bit of EQ, Bit of Drive and DI... and great value.

    As new, never been out of the house. I’ve had this about 6 weeks but personally I’ve decided I won’t need all of the sounds that this great pedal offers and my playing style favours my existing octave and fuzz, so it’s up for grabs. Collection or can post for about a fiver.
