    I wholeheartedly agree. There's nothing about AI that interests me in the slightest, especially regarding art. It's a complete oxymoron.

    I’d back this 100%. I’m pretty new to this, buying my first upright from @Happy Jack in October. I’ve thrown myself in and I’m loving every minute. Couple of gigs done and some recording. great fun but apart from “note geography” it’s not like playing electric. Jonny

    Martin Owen, from Owen Electronics, was my guy... he repaired a few pedals for me back in 2017-2018. After a quick search, looks like his website no longer exists... His business email was: [email protected] Not very helpful, but I will follow this thread as I will also need pedals looked at down the line and without Martin, I am not sure who to go to either.

    Well I'm no way as handy (or patient) as you @The Guitar Weasel your restoration has been really impressive to read!

    Forgot to mention that the general rule of thumb with the Meatbox, and other variants like the Mantis Density Hulk, has always been to max out the controls and let the pedal do its magic via the PA. Mantis even released the version with the EQ knobs inside the casing as users tend to run the thing maxed out anyways. Beware, you can fry a speaker and even a power amp section if you are not careful! There is so much low end content that amps struggle, hence the PA + Subs approach.

    All I can say as regarding the sound it an absolute funk machine. I have totally been blown away with it. I have a few stingrays but this bass just sounds a little different in a good way though.

    Ultimately, you need to make it your interpretation, rather than a slavish copy of PP’s line. One of my fave tunes to play is I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down (that pesky Pino again), there are some things that I just can’t do smoothly (the outro for instance), so it has to be an ez version. Vultures is another sneaky tune from that Mayer album.

    Wow, that’s quite a beauty, can I ask how they sound

  18. edpirie
    Here we have a red PJB Double Four with a proper earthed psu. It took a bash at some point - you can see the roll bars did their job but they’re both bent, one more than the other. It’s probably easy enough to straighten them but I’d prefer to sell with the damage fully visible. Still rock solid. Also the clip light doesn’t work. Otherwise all working as it should and amazing bass tones out of such a small box. Hopefully I’ve priced it fairly to reflect the condition. Meet-up in London/Margate ideal, but can hunt for a box and price shipping.

    Two mighty fine basses on the loggia settee: Serek Midwestern and Wilcock Mullarkey.
  20. Reggaebass
    Great way to describe him ez 😁 and yes, it’s the timing that keeps catching me out, I kinda jumped straight in but I think I need to listen to it a lot more first, thanks 🙏

    Your best bet is to take some pictures and post them in the EUB and Double Bass Forum. That's where people who might be able to advise you are likely to be found.

  23. Sean started following Ibanez SRX700 Natural
  24. Sean
    It's a superb example of Carol Kaye's bass of choice from 2002. These don't come up too often. Condition is remarkable for the age. It's even got the plastic film on the cavity covers. It's Korean-built and we know they know how to do neck-through properly. The build quality is stunning as is the grain of the ash wings. The neck profile is what I'd call slim modern J. Controls are: Vol, Blend, Treble, Bass. It's been deep cleaned and set up beautifully (med/low) with D'Addario EXL170BT strings. that's a balanced tension set. As per all my rosewood board instruments, it's been treated with Montypresso. Frets are level and polished to 7000 grit. All electronics have been checked and all pots cleaned. Truss rod is perfect. It's 4.4kg. I've got proper packaging and am happy to ship insured at buyers expense, which will be about £30.

    It’s Pino, innit, it was never going to be straightforward; he’s a sneaky bugger. Good luck in your endeavour.

  27. edpirie started following Elektron Digitone
  28. edpirie
    This is a mk1 Digitone in very good condition with original psu, no box. Loaded with a bunch of additional presets, and I have a print-out of the manual and cheat sheet. The only issue with it is that the volume encoder is a bit wobbly. Apparently this is quite common with some of the older Elektron boxes, looking at the Elektronauts forum, and it does not affect the function. Still, I’m listing it with a decent discount just in case it needed seeing to down the line. Meet-up preferred in London/Margate but can ship Parcelforce 24.

    Bumping this to note that although collection preferred, I can ship. If so, will send DHL insured with an extra cost of £35. Will need to purchase a proper bass guitar shipping box and packing so will mean shipping is somewhat delayed.

    Actually I think that's why it's easier to come to double bass if you're not an electric bass player first. They are radically different instruments.

    Must resist! That looks like a beautiful one too. GLWTS.
  32. Byo started following DOD Meatbox behaviour
  33. Byo
    I can't answer for the noise you're experiencing, but regarding the Meatbox itself, I have always found it behaves differently to a regular octave pedal. I have always used mine on a clean parallel signal that is split from my compressor and goes straight to a DI and to FOH. Never in line with my amp or other effects. The intent behind the Meatbox, or at least the meta that Juan Alderete popularised, is to give you that ultra low bass extension that pushes the subs in a venue. Emulating the range of a 808 synth. The eq controls, as far as I recall by memory, were around 30Hz and 60Hz (I could be wrong), which will make any amp sweat a little if you are pushing them. This is essentially killing all your headroom too. Maybe the perceived volume drop is based around the frequencies that are boosted when the pedal is engaged. Not sure if you have access to a second amp or a PA system, but if you can split the signal into two separate rigs, you will really be able to balance your main sound and the sub accordingly.

    I really am rather fond of this.
