    The new SVT models are killer and the new cab IRs are much more characterful, much like the best of the 3rd party captures that you can find on the cloud. The GED2112 models are cracking too, I had the pre-amp for a while, really captures the tone well. Looks like a very good update all round but I do wonder at the significant DSP overheads of these new models, even in a unit with processing to burn.

    Yeah probably semantics? If someone's asked to leave a band against his or her wishes, by their bandmates that's a "sacking" in my books, even if it's done in a civil manner. But, as you say, it really should start with a grown-up chat if at all possible.

    Hi folks, for sale is my awesome Fender Custom Shop Jaco Pastorius from 2024. I have to thin out the herd and that‘s why I want to sell some basses. After years of buying, selling and trading it‘s time to "settle down" with just a 2 or 3 basses. This bass is in very good condition, purrs like a kitten and can sing like a bird! Wasn't played that much. Some tiny signs of wear on the fretboard. Electronics and truss-rod work with no issues. Comes with the original case and all the candies. Pick up is preferred, but maybe I can shipping to buyer's expense and risks. Maybe we can meet in person somewhere on half distance. If you need more pictures let me know. No warranty, no return and no guarantee because I am a private seller. But all informations is provided to the best of my knowledge and belief. I am open to trades, but there are only a few basses that I am interested in. Maybe Adamovic 6 String, Mattison; Ken Smith BSR 6 String, but you can try to lead my into temptation. (In case of trading we have to meet in person, no shipping!) Price is 4100 Euro.

    Hi Ovi, thanks! Nice to hear from you! Are you back in bass business? This bass could be yours 😜

    Sure is a lovely looking bass. I hope you find a buyer. My first alembic was a SC signature and in recent years I got a new loom from alembic to convert it to anniversary electronics. Truly great basses.

    Bowie alumni Carlos Alomar, Dennis Murray and Kevin Armstrong doing the DAM Trilogy show at the Barbican on Friday https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2025/event/the-d-a-m-trilogy "David Bowie’s right-hand-musicians during his late-1970’s Berlin period mark the legacy of the albums they made together with the faster songs from Low, Heroes and Lodger as the focus of the evening" - unfortunate news for the fans of Sense Of Doubt and Warszawa there. There's some great content from Kevin Armstrong's facebook tour diary, beware setlist spoilers though: https://www.facebook.com/kevinalexanderarmstrong

    Most of which, among decent people, are the cue for a grown-up conversation and an amicable - or at least civil - parting of the ways, not a sacking. Perhaps it's semantics?
  10. Beedster
    Ouch, I had the same problem a few years back, not sure I can help much, but I can empathise
  11. W1_Pro
    (sigh)...that went well. You have to download it to see it I think...
  12. W1_Pro
    That is awesome. Also, that pic of the maple bass with black triangles and stars on the fretboard is the same as mine. Who knows, it might even be mine? He made so much really cool, interesting stuff. I'll attach a pic of mine below.. JB.pdf

    Actually - just did what I should've done when the original thread was posted - and look: https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/882974bf7db6720157926c6e60ceb460/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-auction-four-day-sale-including-guitars-e-lot-267/ Sold for £620 (exc. fees) in March last year. So - did the buyer whip out the original Superfluxes, spend £5 on some plastic for a cover plate & then try to flip it for a profit - or are there two black fretless JB Tbirds with no logo out there, turning up within 18 months of each other?

    Two basic student bows for beginners, both made in Seoul, one at 115 grams the other at 127.4 grams. Hair hasn’t been used (except just to test the bows). Ideal for beginners as they are light and good for a student developing their hand strength. Happy to post anywhere or do a deal for the both. £65 each. (Excluding postage) happy bassing.

    Found a scan of an old JB catalogue from 1977. Interestingly there is a TB (page 10) but I'm not completely convinced the Gumtree fretless is the same. Body shape & control positions look a little different - although considering pics of both are pretty terrible, it's hard to be sure. http://vintage.catalogs.free.fr/johnbirch.pdf Worth a look for the plethroa of curious & downright bizarre stuff John did back then!

    My one - and I'd be interested to hear from anyone else that has one to compare notes- has very little mass around the heel of the neck, consequently the neck can be pulled forward making the action a bit high. I've ameliorated this a little by using low tension flats but it is definitely an issue with my bass, I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar?

  20. adriansmith247
    These strings are not made anymore I knew the risks when I got a couple sets on here recently. Maybe it’s just because they are different? But I really like them swapped out my Spiros and all of a sudden my bass is alive again I really like them and want to find a really good replacement set. Looking around I can see people saying a mixed set of Evah E A with Oliv D G or the Evah Slaps with gut DG I have Evah E A I can try but not convinced they are anything like the Animas i have tried Spiro Weich E A with Evah weich D G and worked well but sounded weak compared to the Animas. looking for opinions and advice on strings I can try. thanks

    Tbf bands, including amateur ones, sack band members all the time, right? Sometimes a band member just doesn't click, isn't cutting it or prepared to put in as much as other band mates to grow the project etc. There's a myriad of reasons. But the point about treating people how you would want to be treated is absolutely the right one: pretty sure that A would hate the rest of the band treating him the way he's treating B?

    Thanks for the help
  23. dave_bass5
    Wow, forgot I still had this. Obviously still here lol. Price drop to £250. Not been used since I started this thread.

    Thank you Wombat, glad we could help!
  25. Beedster
    Traitors was on ITV 👍 All joking aside, if it was me I'd pick up the phone and tell B exactly what's going on, I'd then pick up the phone and tell A what I've just done. I;d then resign from the band, go to the pub and have a pint. The only way to change the membership of anything but a fully pro band is to resign from it (or allow someone else to do the same, which can be done sensitively if things have got to that point which they sometimes do). Sacking someone from an amateur band is bollocks, especially if done in an underhand way

    If I had mine plugged into a pedal that was mains powered, just tapping the receiver could generate noise. Saying that, this was mostly at home around my computer area so that wouldn't have helped. None of my other systems did this though.
  28. Woodinblack
    Oh could be my issue, both the ME90 and my main pedalboard have bluetooth on them.
