  1. Past hour
  2. Bumping to say this is also listed on eBay (if that's ok by the mods)
  3. Do Fender still make basses in Japan? If not, they should so we can have better quality than US instruments for lower prices
  4. All excellent points! The EBS and Orange blocks both do the breakup with completely different character so it'd be great if they re-visited Peggy! Struggle to work out why they made the new Mesa blocks seperate clean and drive blocks instead of 1 block like the original amp. I spent a good while with mine last night and started to get my "I'm seeing digital so I'm hearing digital" head on - So I pulled out the old board with a Tonehammer Pre on it for comparison, thinking I'd hear/feel something different and it'd be the death of the Anagram... didn't quite work out that way. There was little to no difference in response between the Anagram and Tonehammer (this was using the Super Cali amp block without cab block), I think the Anagram may be the closest to analogue feeling I've come across for base clean tones! What a belter of a unit this is!
  5. Now we have the singer in place we are refining the early set list, chucking out some of the male vocal songs and putting on ice some others. It's great having a confident singer who knows their range and just gets what the band is all about. She's given us all homework and we will have some cracking songs for the next rehearsal. The only thing we are struggling with is song structures and fade-out endings, but more practice will get us there. Feeling really good about this band, just eager to get gig-ready!!
  6. I found that on guitar, I prefer to get the sound/gain from lower wound pickups cranked more, rather than higher wound cranked less. Gibson SG for example, I prefer the 490T pickups to the 498T, just sounds better to me.
  7. Another ex-user here. I've had One10 x2 stack, a Super Twin, then One10T + One10 stack. Enjoyed them all, but I've gone back to my first light weight love: Mark Bass. My first actual love was a pair of Marshall VBC412 cabs with separate big iron Hartke and Ashdown heads. I am never lifting all that again! It might not even suit me these days as my musical tastes have changed a lot. It's been about 18 months since I quit my last band and if I ever look for another I'd be perfectly happy to swap to IEM and no backline, but the last band was big band jazz without any PA support - piano, bass, guitar all had their own amps - so if I did that again I'd still need an amp. The brass and reeds are loud enough without any PA in the venues were were doing.
  8. Lovely, glwts.
  9. Ooohh that is so nice and what a great price for a bass like this. I do love a nice Jazz. GLWTS Dave
  10. For sale. DiMarzio DP307 Relentless PJ Pickup Pair Gloss Black Metal. As new. Still in unopened box. DiMarzio pickups embody equal parts tradition, innovation and invention, not only in their individual design but also in the way they complement one another. The Relentless PJ set delivers a thunder-and-lightning example of these idealized combinations, pairing a Relentless J™ bridge pickup with Relentless P™ pickups. The inspiring new Relentless™ pickups combine ceramic (Relentless P) and Neodymium magnets (Relentless J), producing a better balance and up to 70 percent more output than traditional passive pickups. And best of all, these titans of teeth-rattling tone are dead quiet. Expanded mid-range punch, snappy highs and precise lows are hallmarks of the Relentless J™, while the Relentless P™ pickups sound simply massive, offering impressive output levels, beefy lows, growling midrange and crispy highs that sing with superior string definition. All Relentless™ pickups are fully potted and include our new comfort-sculpted metal covers with foil-shielded cables, along with a broad magnetic field. There are no limitations here, just high-powered tone. Relentless™ pickups will breathe new life into any bass, increase playability, and work well for any style of music from Motown to metal.

  11. A fender Mexican production jazz bass V based on the Roscoe beck, with the Same pickup configuration, asymmetric neck. Jonny
  12. Website is terrible and it doesn't look auspicious for bass given the GUITAR! (and bass) show promotion.

  14. There's always a solution...
  15. Land rover fans would.
  16. Sold thanks, and apologies about the misidentification.

  18. When this thread was new I was a current Barefaced user but now I'm one of these modern weirdos who doesn't have any backline most of the time. I've had 2x midgets, a compact, and 2x FR800s, all of which are exceptional and the fr800s were easily the best cabs I've ever used. If I need stage volume these days, which used to be pretty much never then I use a QSC k12.2. However both of my new bands look like they might be stage volume bands, so I am considering a big twin to amplify my quad cortex. Who knows what the future holds eh?
  19. Thing is (and I say this from the perspective of our desired signature tone), we all know - more or less - what we want to sound like and in truth, don't we just dial that in via our amp/cab choice and/or processing? Installation of Fender '62 Vintage pickups might make the owner of a bass feel better and oh, they're definitely going to hear that perceived tonal difference, but the irony is the bass will sound pretty much the same as it did beforehand. @Hobbayne - buy a couple of cheap Chinese Strat pickups and pop 'em in. They'll sound just the same as what is in there now and what you're going to replace them with.
  20. I did last year demoing for Darkglass which was fun. Will be there this year again both days, mostly on BassDirect stand :).
  21. Yes I assumed you'd need the low pass side - an optional defeat switch for the tweeter might be an interesting extra. I suppose a 2.5way ideally necessitates a (switchable) extra pole on the low pass filter to smooth out the transition, and I guess that'd normally be an inductor so a bit more cost as it'd need to be low down. I built 2.5way tops with some Deltalite 10s that I deemed unsuitable for bass guitar compared to more robust drivers, it did do that 'girth' thing which bassists chase.
  22. Thanks. A bit of looking on t'interweb says it's on 28/2 and 1/3 and at the same place... Am hoping to go....!
  23. Up for grabs is a 3leaf Proton Mk4 in Icefall from February this year in mint condition. A pretty legendary and fairly unavailable envelope filter! Avoid the wait, shipping and colossal customs fees... Price includes UK special delivery.

  26. And here's the list to date based on tracks per year. As previously suggested the 70's and 80's dominate
  27. Incredible isn't it? Imagine paying more for a brand new vehicle that's been dented and scuffed from the factory (for example) 😊
