  1. Past hour
  2. Good spot, will amend the post! Yup, made on the same line as the Fender Japan basses as I understand it
  3. Hey folks! Love the pedal and all this chatter. Agree with big redx that ideally we could fully close the filter in the editor. There's a whole host of stuff on the wishlist for me, haha, because I'm greedy. But it's already very very good. In an ideal world, having the possibility for accent to modulate the amount of adsr for the vcf would be great too (i.e. implementing some of mod matrix ). I don't think this is currently possible? Elsewhere, I'm trying to trigger some of my analog synths with the pedal but having some difficulty sending midi data. Maybe it's user error 😅 but I have the channels set up right etc and think the patch is properly set up to send midi. Has anyone got a video example of some playing bass through the pedal to trigger an hardware synth? (I.e. without computer). I suppose, perhaps it's better to send CV out to the synths (which would require the panda cable), but I thought I might not need to do that. Thanks all!
  4. I've had this lovely metallic black 1998 Fender Lyte for a while now, but I rarely use it these days. Why so cheap? Well, at a rehearsal, the nut sort of literally exploded—I've never seen this happen before. When I tried to remove the excess nut, the top wooden part shattered into many pieces that couldn't be glued back together. I simply glued a larger nut in place that is functioning just fine, but as it is, I rarely use it, so I didn't bother going to a luthier. The bass plays well, though, and I used it at a recent rehearsal to good effect. It's lovely at 7.4 lbs; it's a 1998 model with the original Fender electronics and all the Fender knobs. I thought I’d try here and offer it as a bargain to the B/C community. £400 or trade for a Markbass M58R 2x10 or 1x12 Collection from Plymouth, or happy to discuss couriers at the buyer's cost.
  5. After a tiresome few years my osteopath has just advised me to start going to the gym again, as I’m now pretty much pain free. But she’s said the very lightest weights only, and machine-weights only, no free weights. So whatever machine I use one of whatever weight is on it, with the intention of now building some strength back to protect it going forwards.
  6. Did it arrive last Friday? If it did it was mine. 😀
  7. And it’s sold 🤔
  8. Ah man. Thats pretty much my ideal jazz… nothing to offer financially or trade wise…
  9. That's more than I'm doing and when I've got anywhere near that level, I've aggravated old (mainly football) injuries and had to stop training for a while. However, I wouldn't want to put people off. You can do a lot less than Dave and still get tangible benefits. The main point is to build a bit of core strength and to halt muscle decay and maintain bone density. All of this is very important once you hit your fifties. To achieve this, all you need to do is lift medium weights on a regular basis. As far as improving your core goes, I have a displaced vertebrae in my back as a result of doing too many sit-ups once in my thirties and then playing football the day after. This could have quite a serious affect on me, especially at this time of year when the weather gets cold. However, when I started going to a gym in my late thirties, I started doing moderate weight exercises to strengthen the muscles around my spine and I have never had a problem with my back since. How many people here complain about back issues stopping them from lifting cabs, playing certain basses, etc. A few months of doing simple exercises and I went from being in agony whenever the weather got cold, to having no problem with my back at all. You can do similar things to alleviate shoulder problems as well.
  10. Ah... that's put me right off 🤣🤣🤣
  11. Dingleberry Jam of course.
  12. Extended trade/part-ex list (all 4 strings) Yamaha BB2000/3000 Late 80s Stingray Stingray Classic Spector Black or White Euro P/J USA Fender Geddy Lee J-Bass Rick 4001/4001V63 Steinberger XL2
  13. The recent purchase of another 4-string superlight means this beauty is up for sale. I'd rather not sell, as it is hands-down the best 5-string I have ever owned and of course superlights are hard to come by, perhaps more so in 5 strings. The low B is lovely! The Sandberg sounds great, feels great, looks great, and the weight of 6.8lb is... great! Gig comfortably for hours. The truth is, the reggae band I use a 5-string with seems to resurface every 5 years on average. I used this bass once only at our last gig in 2025; since then, it's been hung on the wall and not played. I use 4 stringers in my other bands, and recently purchased another 4-string superlight, so I need to balance the bank books. The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor marks being a soft wood, but nothing of concern. The neck is sublime, so comfortable. Glockenklang preamp with pull passive and passive tone , fairly sure they're the black label Sandberg pickups. It'll come with a tatty gig bag but can be upgraded for an extra £ - it will be well packed if needing to be couriered. £1150 - may take new type Markbass M58R 8ohm 2x10" or 1x12" in p/t ex. Collection from Plymouth, Devon, or happy to discuss couriers at the buyer's cost.
  14. William Tell Overture — Spike Jones & His City Slickers
  15. If it seems too good to be true...
  16. There’s one in the USA I see for just over 15k that looks like the same one
  17. The obvious thing to note (for me) is that when you search '1964 fender jazz bass' on Reverb, you get a page with this one @ £3.8k, one for just under £9k in America and all the others in the £15k to £18k range. The only ones that come up at a broadly similar price are Custom Shop models.
  18. So this week: Couldn't make the Friday practice so just worked it out on the fly Used IEMs for the first time in a service Drummer used electric drums for the first time Tried a new router as monitor mix wasn't working (and it only sort of came on line) Used an ipad for the music for only the second time Had a keyboardist leading who seemed to make up his own basslines as we were going along Was probably the hardest I've ever concentrated on a Sunday morning - only got lost once in five songs!
  19. I've also just switched to IEMs and this weekend had one of the best tones I've managed. I think having a really good DI might be quite important - I was going out of my Genzler Magellan pre with a little bit of EQ tweaking to taste. Also, something I don't think anyone has mentioned on this thread yet (although I haven't read all 87 pages), walking around a venue with IEMs around your neck seems like the equivalent of walking around a hospital with a stethoscope in terms of how people treat you!
  20. Hey Kiwi A few questions (if i may) ? do you have a profile dxf for these necks? is the profile C/D/U ? What the board/fret radius ? what's the string spacing nut/bridge are these 34" scale ? Cheers Gizmo
  21. I think the white pickup covers look great, the International series Fenders from the late '70s often had them. They also had strat type numbered control knobs...that's what I'd swap them for. Lovely bass, GLWTS
  22. I think I know every BTB that's currently on or has recently been on the market. And considering there are circa 140 models in the entire BTB range that amounts to only a disappointing few. The 845V - the shorter 33'' Volo model - looks very nice however I think I prefer the longer scale. The 17mm spacing for me might also be a bit of a deal breaker too. There was one for sale last Summer not too far from where I live. I wanted to go take a look but I just didn't have the money at the time. I'm not interested in any of the older/earlier models (i.e. the 405) and with the more modern ones I'm not keen on the bland 'flat' natural finish models. Does get a bit frustrating when you spy an especially nice example available for sale in Japan or USA but shipping and tax add up to being a killer 😖
  23. great pedal...nice price
  24. Today
  25. Brown eyed girl Surprisingly difficult to get the rhythm but worth it
