Back up for sale today... -
I'm not sure if people have seen this before but I revisited this from 5 years ago and HS and his fabulous band put in a great performance and do the song justice. Along with Pino on 'Tear your playhouse down', this is my favourite bassline and I do like an octaver. The bassist gets a great bass octave sound and I believe he's Adam Prendergast -

Bought this a few weeks back from GG. It`s a 2008 Standard P bass in vgc (I would describe it as mint but there could be something I have missed). It has all the original case candy and the TSA case is in great condition as well. The only non original things are a replacement scratch plate as the original tort had warped but I will include it, a set of Gotoh strap pins and a fresh set of EB Slinkys. The bass weighs 4 kg or 8.9 lbs. This range was a step up from the previous Standards and you can feel and hear the quality when you play it, I don`t think the previous owner ever played it. Why put it up for sale then? I have had it down to the studio once and was treating it with kid gloves so not the kind of bass I would feel comfortable taking down the Dog and Duck. Also I have damaged my knee and have been off work and may need further treatment so could be doing with the cash. Collection from Paisley or meet up withing reason only. Not looking for trades.-

Faulty Katana GO Headphone Amp???

That might be simply what that patch does. I'll try it myself in a bit and see what it does. -
The impedance of the Stingray pickup is quite low, that of each Ray4 coil is more than double. Connecting them in parallel and installing a 2-band clone EQ (Retrovibe Stinger or one of the DIY kit ones) would give a pretty close approximation of the Stingray sound - the pickup and preamp interact far more on the Stingray than on other active basses.

Like I said, you said "exactly the same" - just keeping you honest, bud

Should we ask Bean9Seventy? (Joking)

I listened to this fully expecting to like the ‘Ray more, as I’m on a bit of a ‘Ray kick at the moment. But no, J Bass on all counts for me. It just seemed more authoritative and less hollow than the MM. -

Then I'm sure that must be right, but they made a point of telling me how MK had flogged a relatively new bass they had given him. Like I said previously, I have no idea of the details of this incident. It came up as a topic of conversation because there was a switch on my custom Legacy Elite that Joe called the Mark King switch. Mark King didn't have that switch on his bass, but Joe Zon thought that with the switch engaged it gave the bass a Mark King-like tone. .

I dimly remember - and could be wrong - the specs of that driver favoured using it in such a way that you could get a good amount of upper bass from it, but if tuned this way in a fair-sized box it was particularly vulnerable to unloading below the resonant frequency, so pops and thumps with ultra low frequency content would be dangerous, and accordingly it particularly benefits from a (steep) high pass filter. Xmax was also measured using Klippel analysis which put it around 4mm, because it remained quite well behaved as the coil started to leave the magnetic gap - but really Xmax by measurement the old fashioned way would be just 2.5mm.

I didn’t go to uni, so can’t offer any advice as to its quality/desirability.

What appears to be wrong? I got caught out because you have to pair it twice, once for audio and once for control.

I was using a TC BAM200 (maybe 130W into 8 ohms?) with gain near maximum (blow clipping) but volume around 12 o'clock, 5 string bass with the EQ fairly flat and mostly quite well above bottom E. Nothing wrong with how it sounded - had only used it for 15-30 minutes, and I'd used it before with no issues.

@Happy Jack I think you need to work on the footwear. Exercise/walking trainers are letting the side down. Fortunately I have done the research for you and found the perfect pair (and in the sale too). You can thank me later

Well, my dye arrived, and me rubbers (gloves) so I've been bizzy, and its Black'er than a Pit Mans Boots, 1 coat applied, might do another before the masking comes off....

The grand irony, Chris, is that for much of the 1980's when I was hankering for a newer modern instrument I was playing 1970's Fender P and J basses because they were relatively affordable. How I wish I still had them now! I remember getting my first active bass, an Ibanez Musician bass in 1985 and being so happy I couldn't sleep for two nights. I wish I could that excited about a new bass nowadays. From there on I was always trading upwards. The thing is, fashions change and what was most current becomes most dated in the fullness of time. Then it takes even more time for people to revisit and re-evaluate what was good about that bygone age. Hopefully that's what people are doing with regard to the bass guitar in the 1980's, because if you love all things bass, I don't see how that era will ever be bettered.

Agreed! Both are cool basses, and love both brands. I remember when the Bongo was first released, as I was looking for a 5-string for my son to replace his Ibanez 5 at the time (the neck on the Ibanez back bowed, and was unrepairable.) I wanted to love the bass, but I honestly couldn't figure out the controls! Even with my experience, I remember them being non-intuitive.🫤

It's a decent driver really when kept within it's limits but the xlim doesn't give the safety margin as for other premium drivers from European manufacturers. It was very popular in bass applications a decade or so ago, and works well enough but I think it must fail quite quickly above the point where it stops sounding ok. I have blown one myself and remember plenty of other users did too!
