    Who cares about businesses that made millions off the backs of artists and their fans by turning scalping into a web operation? Agents will do fine enough selling tickets. Resellers will do fine enough out of genuine reselling. All the excitement is for no longer being reamed when the only way to buy a 50 quid ticket is pay 150 quid.

    Thankyou. I retired from the city late August and started part time at guitar tech as the bass tech. Quite a career change at 63! Joe the owner is passionate about running a shop that he wanted music shops to be like. It a rare thing. We try really hard to make it a place worth coming back to..
  9. Paddy777 started following Lakland Skyline 55-AJ [Nordstrand 2B Pre/Tone Control/Anaconda Pups] £795 - UK Shipping Available

    For sale is my outstandingly good Lakland Skyline 55-AJ 35” scale Active Jazz Bass. This is one of the best playing & best sounding basses I’ve ever had, I’ve had numerous comments on how good it sounds, particularly since the mods on then pickups & preamp which has turned it into an incredibly versatile bass giving you the option of everything from thumpy, tone down passive P-bass to Marcus Miller slap, to rear pickup focused funk and anything inbetween. Condition-wise the bass is in good condition - it’s been gigged and isn’t a dog by any stretch but it isn’t a brand new bass - it’s a working bassists bass, supremely high quality and it will not let you down. The only thing that I have to mention is it did get a knock underneath next to the back strap button - this caused a couple of cracks in the lacquer that went around from the stacked knob to the rear control panel. It was taken to a luthier for professional repair and it was fixed & the lacquer was redone, you can see the mark if you look, and if you tilt it in the light you can see where the lacquer was cracked, but it has been repaired and it is smooth to touch. There’s no structural damage and you only notice it if you look for it, however I have to mention it as it’s there and I have factored it into the price SPECS: It has a swamp ash body with a beautiful figured maple top, 22 fret rosewood fretboard & a 35” quarter sawn maple neck with a reinforced head and 2 graphite reinforcement bars. It has the option to string through the body or through the Lakland custom bridge, and 5 hipshot tuners in a 3+2 layout. This bass has one of the best B strings I’ve ever played, only bro g beaten by my Dingwall, but you can get the same clarity on the B string all the way up the neck. MODS: Preamp: The original preamp on these is the cheap Bartolini-licensed MK1 that is also in the 55-01. It had no Passive mode and sounded pretty rubbish. The preamp was replaced with a Nordstrand 2 Band preamp (2B-4C) with Tone control & push/pull for active/passive mode, so the layout is now: Volume/Blend/Tone/Stacked Bass & Treble. Tone control works in both active and passive mode, and if you open the rear cavity there is gain trim pot, where you can have the preamp so it is exactly the same volume in passive as it is when active and totally flat, or it can be turned up by up to 15db. Bass is +\- 12db @ 50hz and the Treble is +\- 12db @ 4khz - I t’s a very musical preamp, not one of those where if you boost it more than 30% it sounds horrendous Pickups: The original Lakland single coil pickups that were in the bass were pretty good, however I don’t play a jazz bass at centre detent very often and find single coil him annoying, and I thought I may as well do it whilst I got the preamp done, so after a lot of researching decided to go with the Anaconda AC5-TN stacked coil pickups, and they sound really great. Loads of clarity and a fat low end - if you give Anaconda basses a look on YouTube it gives you an idea, but they do old school/vintage just as well as modern if you EQ it for that - and they look ace with the big pole pieces too 😁 I am including a nice padded Ritter gig bag with the Bass, and I can post within the UK for £20 with DPD (I have a Bass Direct box & packaging from the last bass I bought from them & it will be extremely well packaged). I am selling as I have seen something I want, so I am putting it up for a very good price with a view to a quick sale, however I’ll likely pull it and keep it if what I want to get is sold Price is £795 (inc Gigbag +£20 for UK shipping)

    I’ve just seen this case on Thomann. Thought it could be useful to a few of us who don’t use the supplied PSU. https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomann_bag_darkglass_anagram.htm
  12. kevin_lindsay started following 6 x Music Man 2EQ LM4250CN Preamp to assemble, exactly the same as the Boscoe 2EQ preamp
  13. kevin_lindsay
    Im of a similar mindset to kuetsum - if you decide to sell the preamp as single units, rather than a bulk sale of six, then I'll be interested in buying one.

    I've got an old Morphy Richards convector heater. It's rated at 2kw. Doesn't half chuck out some heat. I reckon it would be ideal if you want lots of clean power. Should certainly get those cones flapping. Perhaps even smoking. PM me if interested and we can discuss.

    Hi, is your bass still available?

    I really like this. It’s like a little slice of the Microcosm (and similar pedals) boiled down to its simplest form. I could absolutely make use of this on my ambient board.

    I 2nd the Gretsch shout. I picked up a used but basically brand new one from BassBros for £245 and it’s been the best money I’ve ever spent. I'm regularly on the lookout for one of these (since you posted the picture of your white one) but they rarely pop up from my searches.

    Shame he doesn't allow walk-ins to try stuff out first. I'm only up the road from him in north London as well.That's what he told me when I last contacted him.

    Moe Foster did some articles in the 90s Bassist magazine, as far as I can remember his Jazz bass looked fairly conventional. He did say the ebony fingerboard had come from a double bass, but presumably it had had been cut down to normal Jazz bass proportions. edit; OK, in the link it looks to have a somewhat extended fingerboard, but not so much that it only had room for one pickup, maybe 2 octaves or so?

    Another Watanabe/Gwizdala moment, the tune is 'Perfect Water' from the 2011 recording 'Tricoroll'. Horacio Hernandez completes the trio on drums. You have got a chance with most of this as there is nothing too crazy going on. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/perfect-water-kazumi-watanabe/

    Perhaps if copying a proven design, but even then the economies of scale are against you. Now if there is no value assigned to labor, and you already have the tools, the gap is closer, but it's the "proven design" part of the equation that makes a difference IME. There's also the cost of developing the design and building prototypes that's often (conveniently ignored), but by ignoring even the minimal cost of design, labor, quality hardware, testing and wasted materials, then yes it can appear to be less expensive. There are also the DYI designs that, due to inexperience or lack of understanding, become "amp killers" due to not understanding reactive load limits in amps when it comes to crossover design, that bring hidden costs to the table. Yes, I run into this often enough, especially from the OCD crowd that thinks that every crossover needs multiple Zobel networks without any consideration for what ends up being lumped resonant tank circuits. This is just my experience, based on what I have seen over the (many) years.
