    I have an Elite J and it is wonderful…beautiful neck, but that body is big! Is this a standard size P? Someone is going to love this bass and I often think the Sadowsky’s always have that more comfortable feel with the slightly smaller body. I’ve toyed with the idea of having a Deluxe Jazz sized body made for the neck, because the Elite is that good. With the excellent truss road adjustment (that Musicman complained about and stopped Fender), those necks are the pinnacle of Fender’s design IMO. Good luck with the sale.

    They’re called pedals because you operate them with your foot. All of the setups you have replied to are footswitch operated by the guitarist/bassist in order to achieve different tones. Colloquially, they are all pedals on boards, hence pedalboards. Move on. Si

    Curious that the RI tuners are notched both sides..... 🤔

    Australian synth-pop retro vibes featuring Kimbra. Her vocals are as captivating as in 'Somebody That I Used To Know.' A transcription of Benjamin Plant's synth bass is now available online. 'I Look To You' by Miami Horror

    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.

    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.
  22. 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 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.
