  3. Fantastic basses, and quite hard to get hold of these days... I have the 5 string version and it's excellent. The build quality on Godin basses is exceptionally good, and the tonal versatility for a passive bass is second to none - in fact the P Bass sound on my 5 string is better than the P Bass sound I used to get from my Fender Roscoe Beck five string (and that's saying something) I imagine this model, with the maple fretboard, will be even punchier aounding than mine which has a rosewood board. GLWTS 👍😊
  4. Count me in for Tier 1, and tentatively Tier 2. I’ve got everything I need, so the focus this year is on practicing, maintenance, and making music rather than chasing new gear. I’ll log any allowed consumables and genuine repairs, and resist the grey areas. I‘m thinking to do some records of faceless video.

  6. Too many strings, too complicated for me. £130 collected, postage can be arranged at buyer's cost and risk. Waggle stick not included. It's had a fret polish, a setup and a set of fresh strings since I rescued it from an auction but the fingerboard could do with a few more doses of oil - this might not come across perfectly in the photo.
  7. As a time-served weight-saver, I'd take one off and weigh it, just to get a comparison. Good Luck getting Resolites, they're in very short supply right now (well, the 3/8 ones are, the 1/2 maybe not)...
  8. Essential repair?
  9. I have a scenario to run by you all (and I'm just speculating at the moment) - I have a Yamaha SB500S with a knackered neck pickup. I didn't break it, it arrived that way, it's second hand, it's no longer in production. I have the broken pickup with someone just now attempting to repair it, but should that fall through what would be the collective's thoughts regarding ways forward? You can't realistically get an exact replacement pickup for the current, broken one, but it is basically a J pickup in a bespoke Yamaha housing, because Yamaha. If the broken pickup is unsalvageable, would I get a pass from the jury if I was to get a Tonerider or something similarly inexpensive to replace it with? It's not like for like (other than dimensions), but I wouldn't be using this as an opportunity to procure some fancy, boutique pickup. I just want the bass to work properly again. I hope the OG pickup gets repaired successfully, that is deffo Plan A, just formulating a Plan B... Thoughts? No wrong answers (including "wait until next year, play your other basses")
  10. Kubicki Factor is a famous one.
  11. Oh dear, a friend has remembered that I owe them a lot of money. All pedals sold as is (velcro and all), all functioning and without box or power supply unless otherwise stated. If you have further questions or want more photos then please let me know. Prices include postage via InPost - if this isn't available then I'll recalculate. Not actively seeking trades but always open to suggestions. More pedals to come as I find / trip over them. There should be a wah pedal, a looper and various fuzz pedals stowed about the house but who knows.

  12. Hi Guys. Anyone who has this chorus can help?

  13. Me too, I figured out that I preferred playing 5 frets down than using the G string about 8 years ago now, gave up 5 strings for good and switched to BEAD/Drop B, haven't looked back.
  14. Pair of as new condition MB58R 102 Energy 400w 8ohm cabs I have also 1 x Roqsolid cover included Makes a great vertical stack and awesome MarkBass sound and each cab weighs around 11kg ive just changed over to a MB58R 122 cab as a single use cab but even a single 102 cab is very capable unless you’re in a very loud band Collection only from Suffolk £725 for both cabs or £380.00 each
  15. Pubs, pubs, pubs...the odd beer festival (I think a couple last year), but yeah...pubs...
  16. Looks really great jezza, nice find, congrats
  17. The drummer and I are locked out of everything but our individual Aux channels on the mixer app...it's his mixer, y'see...
  18. New, sealed and unplayed - the just released debut solo album from Dr Feelgood singer Robert Kane. Pretty rootsy, here’s a link to a video. Yours for £8 posted UK.
  19. Yes I’ve had a Vanderkley 212 cab and it was awesome but heavier than MB so had a Monaco which was very nice too.
  20. Is the tone control the push/pull switch? Is it a parallel to series switch? Does it still function as a tone control in both positions please? Apologies for the inquisition.
  21. Today
  22. Is it my faulty memory, or was there an electric bass guitar with a similar extension?
  23. Interesting! Have you ever tried a Vanderkley 212? Pretty light, and second hand might fit the bill ...... Too late I know, but had I not gone the Barefaced ..... then LfSys Monaco route, I think that's where I'd be. ............ Good luck and hopefully it'll be loud enough!

  25. It’s been a while since my friend Andy Anderson passed 

     

    we met whilst doing the Steve Hillage tour and Open album.

     

    He went on to greater things including Iggy pop and the Cure. Watching him during his last days was painful but I could still see that cheeky look in his eyes he was a funny cat great drummer & I still miss his drums and craziness.Peace on you brother  🙏🏽

  26. I use it a lot. We play original heavy rock, and because we’re a 3pce, I play a lot of chords and triads to cover the guitar during solos. Funnily enough though, when I was playing Stingrays I avoided the G like the plague, because it was weak on all 3 of the ‘rays I had.
