    Bought an endpin from Lawrie. Not the first thing I've had from him, and probably not the last, given how smooth it is to deal with him. Cheers!

    VERY reasonably priced for a stunning amp, and one of the original editions based on those handles

    And here notched on both sides, same supplier again:

    This is not a reissue, but an original model from Andy Baxter's website. And here is another's oddity, notched on the treble side, but not on the bass side, again an original from the same supplier:

    I'd design it in such a way that you could take it apart easily to make one 3-string and three 4-string basses out of it.

    This is a pedalboard...some pedals connected one to another. I'm going crazy from digital processos being called pedalboards.

    £160 - Posted - Darkglass Vintage Deluxe- used but good condition. Works perfectly but no longer needed. Free postage

    Yep you're right- it's a compound neck. Thanks

    Price drop £700ono For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components. This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC. Specs: Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire) Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls) Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. I upgraded the tuners to Hipshots so there are some small holes left from the previous tuners. Includes a finger ramp- could do with a respray! (easily removable though – attached with double-sided tape). Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre. Reason for Sale: Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves. Price: £800 (sensible offers considered) Cost about £1500 to put together. Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.

    Not a pedal per se but I picked up a Sine Effects X24 Crossover/Mixer, I had been using a Boss LS-2 to run drive in parallel but it wasn't really cutting it so I figured this was the next step. Trying it out at rehearsal tonight!

    I'm sorry two, but this is not a pedalboard. Those are two processors on a pedal stand. I do not see any pedals there.
  16. bakerster135
    Yes, as noted above I was thinking it could likely be one of these. Never seen or heard one in person but would love to have a go on one! I understand it was also Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell's secret weapon for adding that amazing thickness to his tone...

    I'm sorry, but this is not a pedalboard. This is a processor on a pedal stand.

    I have a super twin I would trade, PM me 🤘

    I agree with @Hellzero I'm sure it's a product of the manufacturing process, not intentional. If it was intentional it would be curved like in the re-issues or at the wide end of original tuners. I think I have the answer, looking at the photo that started all this off. Compare the two middle tuners: Relative to the screw holes and mechanism, the plate on the D-string tuner is 'higher up' with a bigger gap between the top edge and screws tan the A-string tuner. The A-string tuner is noticeably longer so that it contacts the E-string tuner, but the lower screw holes appear to be the same distance from the edge. The lower edge of the worm gear on the D-string appears to align with the bottom of the plate, that for the A-string overlaps considerable, despite the plate being longer. It could be a trick of the camera perspective, however. There are definite variations in the dimensions of the tuners that point to multiple operations using jigs or tooling that are not at the same settings, if not completely different. A few minutes with a pair of calipers would sort it out.

    So here we have a nitro surf green Fender American Original. Body and neck were NOS, sourced from Same seller on Reverb, and the build was by Indra in St Leonards, top luthier. Nice low action set up with GHS Precision flats. In the pursuit of lightweight we have Gotoh RES-O-LITE GB528 machine heads. Pickups are Mike Dirnt. Bridge is Fender. It comes in at a fantastic 8lbs. I want to love it, but prefer a jazz neck.

    Yep! Crazy lightweight for an Ash bodied Jazz.

    MXR Flanger / Doubler. Very popular in higher end studios at the time, and a bit of kit I'd love to own as it's responsible for the incredible synth sound on Soft Cell's "Youth". I've tried reproducing that sound with several other flangers but without ever getting really close.

    Markbass amps constantly surprise me with how good they sound. They seem to fill a space and project very well. I bought an Epifani 3x10 some years ago (and wish I'd kept it, but it was an awkward size to fit in my car and carry up the narrow stairs to my flat) and the seller demonstrated it to me with a MB head. It sounded great. I do lean towards an old school sound (don't like tweeters for bass), so slap beasts may not share my opinion. A pal uses the MB CMD 121 combo, with or without the matching add-on cab, and it's excellent. I keep thinking I should get a MB head, but I don't want to dive down the new gear rabbit hole yet again.

    On Joy Division's track Isolation, there was a bit at the end Martin Hannett the producer wasn't happy with. He kept on trimming the tape, until at some point they were in danger of having to rerecord the whole song. The solution was to add a weird feedbacking echo effect to cover up the truncated ending. There was nothing in the rules for appearing on ToTP that said you couldn't play live, and some bands insisted on doing so. New Order and New Model Army spring to mind. The former did a pretty rough version of Blue Monday, and the next week it dropped down the charts. The latter were wearing T-shirts with the words "Only Stupid B*stards Use Heroin" on them, only to be told it was unacceptable. Their solution was some strategic gaffer tape over the offending words, but the tape fell off during their performance and they were banned from ever appearing on the show again.

    Thanks Phil. My main point (and yours, if I understood you correctly) was that people shouldn't worry too much about claimed power outputs. As we both stated earlier, many amp manufacturers add an off-the-shelf power module from one of relatively few companies to their own preamp design. Those power modules are pretty similar in performance at a given price point. They have to be to be competitive in the market. As a designer, agedhorse will be interested in reading data sheets, etc, but the great majority of amp buyers won't be. They just want something that will do the job for them. Most class D heads, save for those made by those who like to gild the lily a little (Behringer, TC, we're looking at you) do have similar claimed power outputs, which is unsurprising, given that they are using similar power modules. Tonal differences are largely due to preamp designers' preferences, who they are aiming their product at (Is it good for metal?), etc. When I bought my AG700, I spent several hours at Bass Direct and compared products from most of the usual suspects. I chose the AG because it was the closest to an all-rounder and worked well with the cabs I use (PJB). My choice may well not suit others, hence the need to audition/try gear and not buy on recommendation alone.

    I don’t think notched on the treble side is a thing in that era - just reissues?
  28. GreeneKing
    Not a problem.
