  1. Past hour
  2. Yes, it's possible. I'm going to make fretless and 22 fret fingerboards a no-charge option for this batch just to say thanks for your support and trust.
  3. +1! Aaaaargh! Indeed
  4. I know it means I'm sad, but that grates on me, too.
  5. I would agree with this from my experience and what a lot of other people have said - I think the re-issues that came the closest to the originals were probably the 2013-2017 AVRI line. I'm sure these are good basses but the pricing on them at the moments feels extremely speculative, especially when you can get decent late'60s/early '70s models for less money.
  6. Good call
  7. Future impact V4 already acheives this i hear. But i think the reason it hasnt taken off is that its too complicated. I beleive a more cut down version of the FI (in a small modern enclosure) would have sold much better. Think about it, theres nothing the MXR can do that the FI cant.....
  8. I briefly had a fretless bass. Didn't care for the tone and it didn't fit my bands. I was also using flats for the first time in a long time which I'm also not keen on. I don't like mwah and don't understand the appeal.There are a few songs where I don't mind fretless bass, but I don't even really like the tone of other people playing fretless bass. Safe to say it isn't for me 😅 Fill your boots though - variety is the spice of life.
  9. I may have solved the issue. By putting the tone circuits before the blend pot keeps them operating per pickup, I think. I decided I need a way to mute the instrument. In the end, a master volume pot it the most useful, and graceful way to do that.
  10. Hopefully the bass amp on its own sounds good, I briefly had the Katana 100 guitar combo and got fed up with the very digital sounding tone and adjustment overload ! People rave about them but I’m too old school to faff around making presets on a laptop etc
  11. Subjective experience is totally valid. Mine is that unless it has at LEAST a 35", the B string lacks clarity/harmonics. I have also had 35" basses with a mediocre B however, which does suggest the scale length alone is not a guarantee.
  12. For sale my 2 month old Nux MG30 ( with all the bits - extra 2 button footswitch + cable , power supply , USB cable all in original box ) All as brand new ........ Far too much in it for my use - check manual online . Price includes UK Mainland Delivery

  13. I might consider a trade, or exchange, for a different instruments This Olinto is a sensational instrument, maybe the best passive jazz 5 I've ever tried.. a very woody and organic voice.. it doesn't sound like the typical maple fretboard instrument.. it sounds very 60's.. it even has a sound that seems older than my 66 jazz!! As for the characteristics of the instrument: Olinto J5, Production year 2023 body: alder maple neck, birdseye maple fingerboard, custom Mas Hino hand wound pickups 34" scale Carbonetti Sunburst nitro finish hipshot hardware weight around 4kg original hard case available a spare white perloid pickguard Other pics and samples available on request price for a new one, around 5200$ plus shipping, plus taxes I set a trade value of 4800€, open to discuss depending on the offers no issues on the bass.. really near mint conditions
  14. VFR 110 FRFR Active Cabinet 1300W 1x10 FRFR Speaker Cabinet (More like 300W) For sale, 2 months old, as new condition. Price includes UK Mainland Delivery Pete

  15. Totally agree, find the right and best singer you can even if setlist has to change. Our set went from Alanis Morissette to Iron Maiden !! and lots in between
  16. Aaargh! Just missed it.
  17. That's 100% what I want. Like someone else here said, if it nails the sounds we love (don't care how it's achieved frankly), the ease of use of a single stomp, and has the accurate tracking and low latency... Well, that's the holy grail right? It will almost certainly outsell every other synth pedal released recently, combined.
  18. Stolen from these pages. Last one could be about basses, too.
  19. Reserved pending payment
  20. Without wishing to throw the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons I've found scale length not to be a factor with regards to decent sounding B strings. Design,build quality and neck pocket tightness seems to be more influential but I'm no expert on the science. I've tried Dingwalls in the past and think they sound good however 👍
  21. Doobie Brothers - 50th Anniversary Tour (with Michael McDonald) on Thursday at Birmingham BP Pulse Arena and Saturday at the London O2 Arena. 😎
  22. Just spotted that current jazz guitar fave Rosie Frater Taylor is the support for Lee Ritenour at Band on the Wall next Monday, and grabbed a ticket. Reckon Ritenour and his band will probably be OK as well.
  23. This is a great little bit of kit, I have the Apogee Duet too and I can't justify owning two interfaces. Discontinued now, but it works without issue on both my elderly Macbook Pro and my newer M1 Air running iOs 14 (with a USB-C adaptor). Takes a 1/4 inch bass/gtr or an xlr input as well as the built-in mic, so it's ideal for recording - I've used it for online teaching as it's a great way of easily getting my voice and bass into Zoom. A fair few scratches on it and the plastic on the channel indicator has a couple of small cracks, but I've just plugged it in and everything works as it should. £40 securely packed and tracked to mainland UK addresses.
  24. Yeah I’ll have it
  25. @hiram.k.hackenbacker is after one, drop him a message mate
