  1. Past hour
  2. Just bought an Ibanez srmd 4 string. Photo to follow aftera clean, new strings and a set up (all badly needed). On the subject of strings, what are we using gauge wise? I like 40-100 on my 34" bass. How much difference in tension if I just stick to these or should I consider slightly heavier strings, say 45-105? All help appreciated, I've asked the same question on a new topic in the accessories thread also.
  3. Zoom BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter to connect your multi effects to the Zoom Guitar Lab software. Unused, unopened and no longer required.
  4. Fantastic 😍
  5. I’m left handed! I play air bass left handed but actual bass right handed. I wouldn’t know where to start with a left handed bass!
  6. Price dropped to £1950 🎸
  7. Steve just bought a small cab from me, a very easy transaction & a pleasure to meet someone in my neck of the woods, thanks Steve
  8. Just bought an ibanez srmd 4 string and wondering about string gauge. I use 40-100 daddarios on my 34" scale bass and thinking of 45-105 for this one. Is there much difference in tension between both scales if I just stick with 40-100? Thanks guys.
  9. Fender Musicmaster Bass 1971 This is the rarer first issue of the Musicmaster bass. This is the baby of the Fender range of this era and has a 30” scale. This early version has the smaller logo and model name with the distinctive hooked R. The tuners are original with the tulip shaped keys, later models had Schaller types. The neck is nice and easy to play, it has a lovely dark rosewood board and 19 frets. Truss rod works as it ought to and the action is low and comfortable. It also intonates very well for a two saddle bridge shorty. The bass had been modded years before I bought it and had been routed for a reversed Precision bass pickup rather than the original rather weedy sounding Strat pickup. I swapped the pickup for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder as the fitted pickup was in poor condition. I also removed the ‘choke’ from the original wiring circuit as this was probably used to make the original Strat pickup sound darker. I will include the choke with the bass. The pots and Bakelite knobs are all original. The scratchplate is one I made. It’s rather rough but does the job. I have the original one but it has been modded to accommodate the P pickup and the original pickup cavity patched. I’ll include this of course. The finish is original with lots of dings, touch ups, crazing and darker patches where stickers have been removed. It has had a long life as a gigged bass. It looks great because it’s been played and loved. I’ve personally used this for all my gigs over the last year. It sounds punchy and has a surprising tonal range. It’s light at around 3.7kgs and very easy to play. I’m selling because I’m getting back to playing long scales. I don’t want trades sorry and it’s UK only. I can post at the buyer’s expense and/or arrangement. I’ve included pictures of the original scratchplate and a template I made, plus the choke and wiring before I removed the choke. All are included.
  10. I alternate between finger and pick dependant on the song in my current band. However, in my old band, for some reason, I decided to play the odd set all pick. It was a revelation and a nice change. A friend of mine who, before he retired, owned a sound reinforcement company (and is the best FoH engineer I have ever heard) and also plays guitar and records with numerous folks, said that he loves the sound of a pick on bass, as it focusses the sound and can make it fit the mix better. Certainly something to break out every now and again to ring the changes. I can do that. This was recorded during lockdown... Probably the thing I'm most proud of in my playing career (doesn't hurt that it's my favourite tune of all time).
  11. ill go first
  12. Because both amp and speaker ratings are written by marketing departments, not engineering departments. Watts sell gear, amperes and volts don't. Wire capacity ratings come from engineering departments.
  13. Ahhhh, my old beautiful bass. A stunner of an instrument. GLWTS my friend. Someone is gonna pick up something very special indeed ☺️
  14. Foe sale or trade for a preamp pedal. The by now very well known and regarded MXR octave deluxe. In very good cosmetic condition aside from two small marks, and fully functional. Has some velcro still on the bottom. Price includes p&p to standard UK addresses. Cheers.
  15. I bought this off a good friend of mine and I've had it for a couple of years. It's a fatastic bass and comes with a lovely hard case. I can post in the UK insured for about 20 quid.

  16. So the consensus of the thread is all bass players are angels and the rest of em are bastards! 😅
  17. Nice. I'm currently transcribing some Haslip bass lines too. Allan Holdsworth and Yellowjackets
  18. What made you decide to go with a pick rather than fingerstyle. Just curious as i've struggled with that issue over 40 yrs but always remained fingers. Usually guitarists that wanted me to use a pick because that's what they do 😂 Looks like it was a good gig and nice looking J bass too. Dave
