Your choices are chinese crap and those mentioned earlier. It may be so that Weller et al. produce their stuff in China (bad) but at least their QC should be better than those no name chinooks. I know, they are able to make quality products, too.

Where's that then? I've never seen decent plywood in any of ours. I'd like to find a source that's somewhere between far-eastern poplar-core with loads of voids and super expensive birch from Sydenhams

In my quest for the ultimate balancing bass I bought one of these earlier last year but was never happy with the sound so tried different pickups then gave up and put it back in its bag. Currently, it's missing all electronics, although I do have the original pickups (no screws) that I will include. I was planning on buying a set of the new EMG E4W pickups but being absolutely honest, I'm never going to use it so it's time for it to go. It comes with it's gig bag and all of the tools required to change strings, adjust the truss rod etc and I think that it's fitted with my usual Hybrid Slinkies. it looks almost brand new, pretty much because it is. I think I used it for maybe 3 gigs at the most. I have already done the thrust bearing mod to make the tuning smoother No messing about so looking for £400 or reasonable offer. I have the original packaging for this so can post it. The weight is coming in at a back friendly 5.8lbs using the on and off the scales method - plus whatever the electronics will weigh. I prefer payment by bank transfer and have done this many times with other members on the forum as a buyer and as a seller. If you are too far away to collect then I am happy for you to arrange a courier to collect it.

Nice. I can confirm it's also played by failed jazz musicians too now

If it was identical 94 but blue maybe...did you move it on to someone on here?

Planet Rock - Top 500 - Interesting listeners votes
ezbass replied to rwillett's topic in General Discussion
I think they already had this info from months/years of weekend request shows and the weekday request hour (1-2). What seems to have happened is that they had more people listening for longer and, unless they have premium access, being exposed to more ads. The top 500 was what listeners, at least the ones who voted, wanted. I hope this doesn’t see a shift away from playing more recent bands or the country rock that they have been pilloried for. If it wasn’t for PR (I'm a listener from the very early, ad free days) I wouldn’t have heard bands like Volbeat, Those Damned Crows, Blackberry Smoke, Black Stone Cherry, Greta Van Fleet, the list goes on and I’m happy about that. It has also achieved the reverse by confirming my dislike of some bands that a lot of folk hold in high regard. It’s not all gold, but then I refuse to believe that any artist’s catalogue is all gold, no matter how revered they are. Finally, a top whatever that has caused controversy; who would have thought that would be the outcome? -

You can try a bunch I made in a studio setting https://www.tone3000.com/tones/steven-taylor-tone-pack-41791 I use the punchline as my main clean tone The Cream Pie and Beta combo is also very nice for vintage rock

I bought this at the beginning of 2024 then promptly quit playing 😂 I had it stored in a cupboard and only remembered about it towards the end of last year so got it out and used it for a couple of the Christmas gigs. It's a U serial number which could be 1996 or 2010 but I think that it's more likely to be 2010. From memory it features an ash body, maple neck with rosewood board & block inlays and US pickups. Before I used it I gave it a full set up including adjusting the truss rod so everything is working as it should. It comes with 2 gig old Hybrid Slinkies. Its in pretty good condition for a 15 year old bass with a few light scratches here and there - the worst ding is pictured but right at the edge of the body so difficult to see. It comes with it's original standard issue Fender Japan gig bag. IT also comes with the bridge cover fitted but never had a pickup cover with it when I bought it. It sounds incredible and I am only selling it as I have far too many basses so am aiming to get down to 2 - a main bass and a backup. I can't remember what I paid for it and am having trouble finding sold examples of this so have started it at £1100 but am open to offers. I have the original packaging for this so can post it. The weight is coming in at a reasonable 9.8lbs using the on and off the scales method so it's no lightweight nor is it a boat anchor. I prefer payment by bank transfer and have done this many times with other members on the forum as a buyer and as a seller. If you are too far away to collect then I am happy for you to arrange a courier to collect it.

Ha - yes - I thought this was a given that you can't just plug headphones into something without a headphone preamp. I can't understand why anyone would try to plug headphones into an aux out!

Planet Rock - Top 500 - Interesting listeners votes
rwillett replied to rwillett's topic in General Discussion
It's opened up some new names to me so that's good. As with all "best" lists, it's highly subjective and causes lots of thought / discussion / arguments / flame wars. I was surprised The Pretty Reckless didn't have an entry but as somebody posted earlier "twas ever so". Personally speaking I'd love to get a full dump of all the votes and the demographics behind the voters. I didn't see the voting page at all so no idea what information was requested by Rayo but this is a goldmine for them as they get told clearly what music to play and in which proportions. They can hit their target audience pretty quickly without spending lots on market research. This was probably the aim all along 😁 -
