    Hey @ordep, do you know the make of the speaker stand you’ve got pictured there? I use the Novation myself and it looks like a good setup! Good luck with the sale!

    Fantastic basses.
  6. neepheid started following Bridge string spacing adjustment help please
  7. neepheid
    That is a Hipshot A-style bridge. To adjust the string spacing, loosen the grub screw which sits alone on the right hand side of the saddle underneath the two saddle height adjustment screws, then move the saddle side to side by hand as you require, then tighten the single grub screw back down to lock it in place. The screw will likely be in freedom/imperial units. My A-style came with a key which I guard with my life. I could get the callipers out and measure it when I get home, if that helps?

    Many years ago I used to dep in a Free tribute band and they were happy with me using my Lakland 55-94, Thunderfunk amp and Berg 112 cabs. They were after the feel of Free rather than the sound.

    Anyone in Blackburn - this is a bite their hand off good deal even if it may not be working (search Trace Elliot on Gumtree):

    A Mobius Megatar 12-string with fan frets: https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/e53d7924c06085ff4c734b0b1af356dc/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-auction-four-day-sale-lot-42/ As it happens, I own (but can't play) a Megatar with the more rational parallel frets. How on earth are you supposed to play one with fan frets? And how would you string it as AFAIK all Megatar/Chapman Stick tunings have the bottom string in the middle of the fretboard? An idea whose time will never come. Unsurprisingly, it got left on the shelf at the auction.

    These are amazing. I have one and love it. Admittedly, I've replaced all the patches with Nine Inch Nails-style industrial noise, but that's not the point. Re: your QC comment, do you know if yours is a made in America, or one of the last batch that was made overseas since the InMusic acquisition? I've heard a few people that purchased these brand new in the last 12 months have similar complaints. This was part of the reason that 2nd hand prices rose even before they announced this was being discontinued, because people wanted pay a premium for a unit that was made in the Asheville factory before that stopped being a thing. Once they announced they were being discontinued, the prices jumped again. That said, still worth every penny. If you have a US-made unit with QC issues, I'm really surprised, as they took some real pride in every unit that left the factory, in my experience. I remember when I once had an issue with one of my Moogerfoogers, maybe 12 years ago. I emailed them, and then got a reply from the actual engineer that designed it. He said, "you could send it to the UK repair centre, but if you send it to me, I'll fix it up, and upgrade some parts for you - I can do it on my lunch break next week". I mean, that was service! There is a part of me that is considering selling this to get a 2nd hand US made 37 instead, just because I want more patches to save sounds in. I really love the size and format though. It rocks.

    Decided to put up my awesome (and unfortunately no longer made) Spector LT5 in Violet Fade for sale. This has been my main touring bass for the last two years and has seen some action at Glastonbury, Green Man and many more festivals that I can't even remember! Despite being my main bass I have really looked after the bass and it's in excellent condition. No dings or dents just light surface scratches that every guitar gets from being played! The bass has a 3 piece maple neck with alder body wings and a very nice flamed maple top, which is almost holographic and almost impossible to photo! 😂 The bass has a very nice ebony fingerboard, MOP Spector crown inlays, Gotoh lightweight tuners, brass nut, Dunlop straplocks, Custom wound to Spector spec Bartolini pickups and Darkglass preamp, and thr finish is so good it's ridiculously reflective and shiny.. again making it difficult to take good photos! The bass plays very nicely and sounds phenomenal. The bass is 35" scale and the low B is the best I've experienced on a high end bass. Currently strung with Dunlop Super Bright Steels. Sale includes the Spector gig bag. Looking for £1800 due to excellent condition and I think collection is needed. I have the boxes it came in but I don't feel comfortable shipping it without a hardcase.

    For anyone who may be wondering whether this amp is loud enough to gig with, I'm going to say... probably not! But without a drum kit, maybe.

  22. neepheid started following Is the trussrod broken?!
  23. neepheid
    Slow down, talking in terms of whole turns is making me nervous! What are you trying to do - straighten the neck, or allow more relief? Because that's all the truss rod does - adjust neck relief. It has an effect on it but it is not the primary means of adjusting the string action (ie. height).

    I think I can be confident in saying that despite having owned some of the more highly regarded tube amps - B-15, SVT-II &III, DB-750, and pretty much every model Mesa ever made - I never heard a bass I was playing at the time sound better than it did through my old WEM Dominator 👍

    well … any integer or rational number divided by 7 is a rational number, since 7 is also an integer. 3/7 = rational (3/7) /7 =3/49 = rational 🤓

    As one of the offences can carry a significant prison term the Magistrates can't deal with it. So it's probably been kicked up to the Crown Court for a full jury trial. With the gross underfunding of the CJS I would expect that to take place no earlier than 2027.

    Everybody on this forum who has been scammed by him should send all the info to Leicester Plod and the CPS right now, before the next hearing.

    His tone was pretty consistent between live and studio. Bear in mind that recording bass in the early '70s he would have probably gone straight into the desk while live it could have been that or more likely miked up speakers. This is probably the gold standard live recording of Andy Fraser: Note the very badly positioned (ribbon?) Microphone placed lined up with the centre of the four speakers about a foot out and angled down a bit. Surprising they got a decent tone... He gets a similar but brighter tone on the studio recording of mr big: I suspect he used the bridge mute on his EB3 as well as a lot of muting by alternating index and middle right hand fingers Flats? Probably. If I want an Andy Fraser sound I'd choose my Squier Jazz fitted with old style mutes.
