La Bella 760PN-MUS Stang – Pure Nickel Round Wound A set of never gigged pure nickel Mustang rounds. These are designed for string-through mustangs. Tried on my '69, but honestly just don't see that bass being anything other than a flats bass so off they came! Price includes UK postage. -

Many quality jack socket have what is called self-wiping contacts. If you don't insert a plug, it will leave the contacts to tarnish.

Yep, 50 years of honest toil 😂👍 -

Yep, absolutely! 👍 -
Every now and then, a "pre-lawsuit Ibanez" or a "lawsuit Greco" pops up on the various used web pages. I've always wondered when those lawsuits were, who filed them and how they ended. Surprise surprise, they never happened. Ever. No lawsuit over the Fender or Gibson designs has been filed against the Japanese manufacturers, nothing was ever settled in or out of a court of law. So. Please stop using those terms. They are wrong.

Here's a couple of my single cut basses, both ACGs, one design a little more extreme than the other, however, the extreme one is insanely ergonomic. To me, sonically, single cut basses seem more resonant, and have a much stronger fundamental on the lower strings. This is of course down to the design, the more contact the neck has with the body, the better. Both of the above are set neck construction, so the neck has as much contact with the body as it possibly can. I'd absolutely recommend a single cut to anyone, and ACGs, I appreciate the look is marmite, but I love it, although ironically, I don't like marmite... Cheers, Eude

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Inspired by that G&L up there ^ Who is using tapewounds on their shortie? What brand and gauge? I've had some La Bella White Nylons in the past, on a long scale and I seem to remember liking them, but that was a very long time ago! -
Hey, I totally forgot about this post. Knee is better now rehab prevented surgery. It was more to do with my adductor. On bart 8CBP. I’m surprised I’ve had them for nearly 2 years. My bass is Asian ash with maple fretboard. The pickups are great l, especially with chrome flats. Smooth, creamy tone. The only way to tame the output and bass is flats. I really like nickel rounds so I’m thinking of letting these go and get the 8s or a different pickup. You thinking of trying Bart’s?

Unless it is purely random (well, even if), it really does seem very odd. -
I wish I was hip enough to say “I picked this up when I went to a synth convention in Berlin”. 😂

Hi All, I'm Andy, recently started playing bass after years of sucking hard at guitar. Feels much more like my instrument already. Long term view is to get back to gigging after a few year away.

Beautiful Alusonic Django 4 Deluxe Carbon custom shop. 2023 model in excellent condition, lightly gigged a handful of times and only for sale as I have been using short scale basses exclusivly for a while now and it's a shame for this amazing and versatile bass not to be used. Specs below, everything is the highest quality. It also has a hipshot drop tuner fitted, I will also include the original tuner. The strings which are Dean Markley nickel rounds. Plenty of online videos of these basses showing the sounds available, the 5 way pickup selection switch and active eq give a huge varity of tones all of which are usable. There is a active/passive push pull on the volume knob. Weight is 3.6kg and the balance is perfect on the strap, strap locks fitted which I will include. I'm not keen on posting this bass but if you have a courier you trust I will make sure the bass is well packed, it comes with it's original hardcase. also happy to drive for a halfway meet up, possibly Bristol or Yeovil, Dorchester area. Possible trade for a Fender JMJ mustang or any other interesting short or medium scale bass, depending on value I have a few more 34" scale basses I will be selling soon, Yamaha BB1500A, Yamaha BEX4, a roadworn Japanese Fender e series PJ-455 C o n s t r u c t i o n : Bolt – on Body: Chambered Selected Swamp Ash Body Body Finish: Open Pore Matte Black Acrylic Top: Carbon Fiber Top Finish: Clear Matte Acrylic Neck: Hard Maple with Graphite Reinforcing Rods Neck Thickness: 20mm at 1st fret, 23mm at 12th fret Neck Shape: Custom “C/V” Neck Finish: Epoxy Matte Black F r e t b o a r d : Graphitex F r e t b o a r d Finish: Natural Scale Length: 34″ (864mm) Radius: 12″ N u m b e r o f F r e t s : 24 F r e t s Size: Medium Jumbo String Nut: PPS “Tedur” N u t Wi d t h : 40 mm P o s i t i o n Marks: White Side Dots Truss Rod: 2-way Set in Normal Position Neck P l a t e : 5-Bolt Bridge: Alusonic Aluminium Quick Release Matte Black S t r i n g S p a c i n g : 20 mm Tu n e r s : Hipshot Ultralites Black Pickups: Alusonic Hybrid Alnico5/Neodymium Hum+Split Coil PBass Controls: Volume (push-pull Active/Passive), Treble (passive tone), Bass, 5-way Selector S w i t c h H a r d w a r e : Aluminium Matte Black P i c k g u a r d : Aluminium Matte Black Knobs: Aluminium Black String: Alusonic Steel 45/105 Wesso 3es: ABS Hardcase-

They’ve just had to buy a whole new desk because the old one started doing phantom gain and level changes at random on several channels. So getting some ADDITIONAL cash out of the finance committee right now might er… erm… hopeful! In fact, I’ll bet that the additional functionality of a new desk vs one that’s 10-15 years old may be partly behind the experiment!

I'm winding everything back now and having a clearout of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM-
