If you can say what the code is or at least what the first letter is, its then possible to work out the year. Also, a photo of the back of the headstock showing the tuners would be helpful. -
Yes, it says made in Japan on the plate on the back. Am not sure what year tbh - it was only bought 4 years ago though

Yes, I probably should have mentioned the weight, it's around the same as my JMJ and noticeably heavier than the Sandberg but I do find it easily manageable with a wide strap. -
Not sure at the moment, hoping that might be possible ☺️ -
I've just asked, and it's a Behringer XR18 with Mixing Desk app? Mixing Station, I should say..

Nice! I've just ordered one of the light bars (below) which seems to be a similar thing to the vertical light bars in the photo. I'm thinking maybe in the first instance to lay it on the floor by our mic stands, but I'll have to see how that looks. p.s. please stop posting cool lighting photos, it has a real world impact on my bank balance! 😆 😆

For a bit of 80s pop/rock in Lincolnshire, we're going into Christmas week with a gig on Sunday 21st December. It's at Edward's in Grantham which is a great place with free entry and a late afternoon start. So you can party like it's 1985 and be fresh for Monday morning!

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
M@23 replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Picked up these 2, both of which are ace. 1982 Westone Thunder 1 and a Joyo BA30. Amp sits on my work desk, has Bluetooth playback, a compressor, good EQ and a passive radiator. Kicks out a solid sound for one 4” driver! The Westone is just a solid slab of wood, simple and great fun. -
Nice one. Thanks.

I had an Ohm cab which I used with a Laney PB150 head. At some point I decided to go small and lightweight, and pxed them for a GK 200MB combo.

So I have gone ahead and ordered the HB for her along with the Fender short scale gig bag which had good reviews. Just looking at a small combo for her. I was going to get the 20w HB bass combo at £70 but the reviews didn't seem too good. So I'll keep my eye out for something second hand. After that, I'll probably change the strings to a lighter gauge as well once I've looked at what's available. -
Mine is my lightweight bass! Its definitely lighter than my Spector and doesn't neck dive.

+1 for the HB. These basses punch way above their weight in every respect. Err, except weight, that is 🙂 -
Looks made in Japan , back of the neck decal .. J

EBS TD660 incl. Case (ultra-mint!!)
TheDaivisch replied to 3Gorillas's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Because it's a class A/B amp with a big heavy transformer not a class D ? The preamp tube is irrelevant - it's all in that power amp. Compared to EBS class D amps it'll have a sweeter more complex tone. -
Japanese? What year?

Back for sale after timewaster messed me about - reason for return, i didn't mention the 3/1000th of an inch off the frets when levelled and crowned - a newbie that didnt know why fret jobs are done - was worried why it was done on a new guitar - so i explain why and luthier also offered to talk to him- kinda like taking a car back to the showroom as you'd included top spec instead of factory spec - anyways you people on here will appreciate a lovely neck finish - i think he just didnt know what he wants - good luck getting a cheaper bass with lovely fret ends - ah well we live and learn. For sale lovely birch green Fender player 2 i bought early this year and have recently been using this or P bass to see what fits what i'm doing and the P bass has won - for that middy growl. Have bought a Squire CV Jag as back up - so now this faces being an occasional bass and it's a great player, so should be someones to use. Made in Mexico these are now really good little basses. Great QC Had luthier sort the frets, which he levelled , crowned (they were flat from factory!) and ran glue under each to make sure they pinged and bevelled off the slightly rough edges, basically your getting a Plex job but done by the hands of someone with 40 years experience. So now with the rolled edge finger board, satin finish, it is great to play. Dark rosewood board, with maple neck, the body colour looks even better IRL. Weighs about 8.5lb but balances great. So lightweight and versatile. Strung with new Ernie Ball Super Slinky 40-100 - very nice action. Very useable pickups. Comfortable bridge for palm muting. Priced to sell - collect from Clitheroe or meet up or can post to UK in box for £20 - if i post there's no returns - it's a lovely bass and sure you'll be happy unless you're not all there like last buyer-

Thank you ☺️

My first bass amp was made by Ohm and was bought in about 1983 secondhand from ABC music along with a Laney 1x15" cab. I had a wave of nostalgia seeing a similar amp for sale on the cash converters website, however this one has a built-in compressor whereas I am certain that mine inexplicably had a built-in flanger instead of the compressor. I cannot remember the model number of the amp I owned, however I remember it looking very much like the GA140 in the listing. Does anyone else remember these amps? Was there a version with a flanger or am I misremembering?

Headless/ fretless bass for less than £1k
lemmywinks replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Bass Guitars
Licensed (read Cort built) Bartolinis like the old Mk series, tbh they might work for fretless more than on fretted. They don't sound like real Barts though, a shame as the Cort/Ibanez CND pickups sound like proper Nordstrands. Other possible outlays on the EHB series are replacing the stock knobs (horrid plastic things) and the need for a better gigbag than the one it comes with. -
He says Valeton are sending him one, so it’ll definitely be coming soon 😁
