My wife’s U4 had to be exchanged within a month or so IIR. She has had the replacement quite a while now and it’s been fine.

@Rosie C holy f*** thats an awesome stack, you're playing Glastonbury? I like your hacksaw screw solution -
Interestingly, the U45 has had superb reviews on Thomann: Xvive U45 4.9★ (28 reviews) Swiff WX520 3.8★ (21 reviews) and the older U4 which has been around the block a fair bit longer: Xvive U4 4.5★ (361 reviews)

@kwmlondon I am told that they are now on a 5-string bass. Sorry that I was unable to give you better news. -
What new gear should be produced?

Up for sale is my absolutely stunning 5 string 2020 Lakland Skyline 55/02 in trans purple. It has an ash body with beautiful quilted maple top, an ebony fretboard on a flat-sawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement bars. This bass is in excellent condition, it’s been gigged but has been very well looked after and there’s no obvious damage - it’s just not a brand new bass, I’d say it’s 9/10 and can’t find anything specific to note that’s negative about it 35” Scale with a 1.81” nut width, 22 fret with a radius of 10-13”. It is strung with Sadowsky blue label nickel 45-130T’s with the Tapered B string, so the combination of these strings and the Lakland neck gives this bass one of the best sounding B strings you could ask for. Pickups and preamp are both Lakland’s own LH3 which are in both the U.S. 55/94 and 55/02’s as stock. The preamp is Vol/Blend/Treb/Mid/Bass (cut and boost), however you can open the control panel in the band and change the frequency of the Mid control using the dip switches (275/600/900/1100hz). There is also a coil tap for the bridge humbucker pickup - towards the neck and engages the front coil only (60’s jazz) mid position is the full humbucker (both coils - stingray mode) and pointed towards the bridge is rear coils only (70’s jazz). The front pickup only also does a pretty convincing P Bass sound for a bass that’s clearly not a P Bass making this one of the most insanely versatile basses you can get - it’s extremely hard to get a bad sound out of this (trust me I’ve done my best! 😁) Included in the sale is an almost new ‘Protection Racket’ gigbag and Shipping via DPD Next Day (within the UK). It’ll be extremely well packaged and boxed so it’s safe for the journey, or collection from DH2, County Durham is also welcome Priced for a quick sale, no trades and no offers - this is a superb quality bass, at a very good price. Thanks for looking £875 shipped

Hi, thank you. The unusually situated jack is just where I changed the original three knob, four band equaliser to a two band bass/treble unit and stuck a jack socket there to fill the leftover hole. The four band equalisers I built had board mounted pots to save on wiring and reduce induced noise.

Planet Rock - Top 500 - Interesting listeners votes
tauzero replied to rwillett's topic in General Discussion
As you've already demonstrated that your taste is rather different to the average Planet Rock listener, I'm sure that there will be at least three RHCP songs in the 500. -
That was the one. It was Volume, Pan, Bass, and Treble
-
Ditto and ditto. Food-wise maybe we could do a bring-&-share? Richard mentioned sandwiches and Geek mentioned a giant Costco cake, and I know Costco also do trays of wraps and things, and I'd be quite happy to make some stuff to bring. Obviously I couldn't hope to make anything as utterly brilliant as The Crumble

Zoom ms70cdr is quite well regarded in the synth world it seems. if you want flexibility would something like hx effects with lots of footswitches (or LT aren’t silly money any more secondhand)
-
In a more serious vein, a second cab allows me to keep one connected in my "office" and one I can take out easily to jam with. I hate undoing all the connections and redoing them each time.

Welcome and very nice bass. Why the two jack inputs?
-
As many others have already said, look for a GenzBenx Neox212 or NX212. A Barefaced beater and fantastic sounding. Can't go wrong.

Bought used earlier this year and not used a whole lot. It's a fun and surprisingly versatile instrument, just not something I'm going to get a lot of use out of. The bass has been modified with a thumbrest so you have better access to the "sweet spot" rather than playing over the neck or by the bridge. It's currently strung with the extremely nice Hofner-specific white nylon tapewounds from LaBella which will be included. Looking for £190 and open to trades for whatever. Delivery possible at buyer's expense and risk, collection preferred.

Rosie C replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
Not any more! The postage from the USA for the new badge was brutal, but this rig is all about the look of it, so it had to be done! In other news, our emigration plans have moved up a gear. I don't have time to fix the foot switch and I'll not really need it - so it's available here for postage: -

This foot controller came with my Trace Elliot amp. It's faulty - it's suspected that the switches need a clean and some use, as it's been stored for 10 years. No charge, just cover the postage - or collect from Chepstow.
