    Actually, $6K isn't too bad for a US custom shop bass. I'll stick with my original 1976/1977 SB-1 (signed by Stuart Spector) though...... keep my wallet closed!
  3. Stub Mandrel
    I would assume so.

    Distant Early Warning - Rush
  5. bnt
    I was at a work party in a pub last night, and one of the barmen did something that annoys me: he was pouring someone else's order, while asking me what I want at the same time. So he's not paying attention to the pint he's pouring, and while I tell him my order then, I have to repeat it when he's actually ready to pour it. So taking my order when he wasn't ready to pour it was totally pointless. It annoys me when people try to multitask for no good reason: multitasking is overrated.

    I know this isn't probably news to anyone, but for people in a similar position to me (i.e. can read music and play to roughly grade 3 but pretty much self taught) I'd highly recommend getting some lessons with a decent tutor. I've learnt more in the last 2x 30min lessons than in the last 5 years! It isn't so much just playing the grade pieces, it's stuff like: How to sit, wrist position, finger positions (not using my thumb on black keys!), how to use the sustain pedal properly (and how to properly use the middle pedal), proper scale technique, how to spot scale structures and what other scales work with them, some useful rhythm stuff (tapping out the notes for each hand on each leg), and some reading things - I'd been misreading ties as slurs. etc. I guess all that stuff could possibly be found in online videos and books, but having it tailored to you is so much more efficient and effective. (I'm actually finding perfecting the grade pieces a bit tedious - playing The Muppet Theme for the 100th time it starts gets a bit annoying!)

    Several reasons, I like to try make stuff, abelit badly in some cases 🙂 I don't have a midi cable, but i do have some vintage DIN/midi plugs in a box, a barrel jack socket and a bit shielded pair ... [ in a previous life, and with no previous knowledge, tools or internet, I reclaimed and rewired 120pin EDAC cables into interlinks for my mobile studio, from that I learned that one does not pick up a soldering iron and simply walk into mordor] Sauron's Multiplug Yeah, I could just buy the things pre-made from ebay, but where is the fun in that? And when I have f**ked it all up, and failed, but learned a few things then I will go to fleabay 🙂

  9. DigbyLLovatt
    Selling my trusted GK 410 cab which has been in my possession for the last 7 years or so. Powerful, punchy, and light weight with the neodymium magnets. Comes with amp cover. Open to sensible offers, looking to shift this before i move house in March. Collection from SW20 preferred.

  12. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    There is a modest , underrated and highly talented bass maestro who is revered and lauded on Basschat ..Danny Sapko. Worth checking out . Davie 504 is better entertainment though imho ..” check mate ! “ Lots of headless basses with varying designs and quality control issues ( cort space 5 , Ibanez EHB etc )

    What is the serial number, please?

    Reclusiarch Aurelius on SoundCloud seems to be based in Krasnodar in Russia though, not Gloucestershire! No, I am not interested in joining this band, I was scrolling through JMB looking for dep opportunities (I am such a tart). Consequently it doesn’t matter directly to me, but there is a BC tradition of highlighting (for entertainment purposes) delusional or wildly unrealistic band ads. It will matter to someone though, when they sign up to goodness-knows-what in the hope of a shortcut to fame and fortune. I do hope the site rules allow us to discuss things that don’t even matter, otherwise pages of discussion on fret position markers would have to be deleted.

    David put up for sale a set of flat wound guitar strings, which my co-jammer friend quite fancied so I bought them and a couple of days picked them up at my local InPost collection point at my local shop. Nice and easy and pleasant buy. Thank you.
  17. DTB started following Do you have a signature sound?
  18. DTB
    My sound , whilst not really MY signature sound but the sound I love to play with, I stole from Christian McBride. He often runs a Marshall 100watt guitar amp along side his bass rig (something the guitarist in my last band asked me to do and I thought he was nuts, little did I know back then!!!). It adds just a bit of grit to the tone and gives it more of that bridge pickup bite, but with a lot of neck pickup added so you have more bass without having to turn the bass up on the amp or on your active bass. I get it by running a valve preamp into my bass power amp and have recently started using a cab at home again rather than going into my mixer and monitors, sounds so much better using a real cab. Good example is live version of It’s On by George Duke available on facetube. Edit; Also see Reggie McBride on When Love Comes To Town, kind of similar tone on the bridge bit. I stole my guitar tone too but thats another story.
  19. BigRedX
    To the OP. Are you interested in joining this band? If not why does it even matter?

    much later.... I discovered that the output stage of my Orange OB1-500 has a problem. If anyone thinks they can fix that then it's available to collect for a nominal beer token.
  22. stevel
    SWMBO has decreed that I have enough basses... Problem is she can't tell the difference between a MIM Fender Jazz and an American Professional II Precision... as long as they're both in Sunburst. So, this one is being quietly sold to make way... It's a 2014 Standard Jazz (Mexico), has a couple of dings - one on the head and the other just next to the bridge - both fairly small. Otherwise in good shape - usual scuffs on pickguard and pickup covers. Hard case included in sale. Cash on collection from Effingham (near Leatherhead/Guildford) in Surrey. You're most welcome to try before you buy.

    I've owned both a Lakland Skyline 55-60 and a Sadowsky Metroexpress (the first generation) and would generally describe the Sadowsky as "slimmer". The neck is slimmer, the body is a bit smaller and I think the string spacing is a bit tighter but I never really pay attention to that. I was really impressed with the sustain on the Sadowsky. The preamp is fine, not great but workable.

    Where is my 1983 Sting reissue?
  30. sifi2112
    I’d be interested in that lol
  31. mattbass6
    Hi, yes I do. The WCA 115 is a 300-watt, 8-ohm with a single 15-inch speaker. Sounds amazing. Hope that helps. Cheers, Matt.
  32. BassApprentice
    Basically my situation too. Bae money for any of the shiny new stuff, still nice to look 😂
  33. BassApprentice
    Weird that the basses didn't get the redesign that the guitar range got. New colours look great. Although they've done that annoying thing of having the colour on a 4 string model I'd want on the 5 string 😅
