    I sold it. Would I buy it back? Yes, yes I would.

    SEI bass

    I had been saving up for my one bass to rule them all. I got on the train with all my specs sorted to go and comission my very own J5. No way was I going to have LEDs. So vulgar. So useless. When asked if I wanted side LEDs I could not say yes fast enough.
  4. Absolutely agree with your sentiment and we will be covering artists and gear across all genre so that there is something in there for everyone. Come and chat to me at the show and let me know who you would like to see in there and we will do our very best.
  5. There's always a solution...
  6. Bought these recently here and they’re great but I decided to go with my preferred choice on a bass I’ve modded for a particular situation. In my trial with them I found them to be quiet and even with low output as described (alnico standard) but much better than stock pickups. In other words...pro improvement. My East UK active preamp has gain adjustment so that didn’t pose a problem. I thought they were vintage voiced (60’s) but even slap style sounded pleasant. I preferred the more hi-fi sound of the EMG for the stuff I’m doing (plus I have more vintage styled instruments available). I also did the series/parallel switching with them and that was great (versatile option) but you can choose either as both ways sounded great. The original post: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/518269-celinder-ss-humbucker-alnico-jazz-pickups-sold/#comment-5561431 I have epoxied the tabs so they’re much better and poses no problems to mount the pickups. I’m asking what I paid for them and this includes UK shipping.
  7. I'm winding everything back now and having a clearcut of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM

  8. Another vote for Brian Pillans - I've had a few from him and the pickguards and service have been second to none.
  9. Also…don’t mind a trade for a decent bass cab…???
  10. Of course, tho I’ve got to learn Won’t Get Fooled Again first, so I wouldn’t book the ticket anytime soon…….
  11. Can i come along and listen 😂 Dave
  12. The man was a brilliant talent, sad loss.
  13. I have decided to sell my combo as I barely use it. It was a bit of an impulse purchase around 6 months back that I don't really need as I mostly use my separates. It sounds great, very light and with the removal of 4 screws, the head can be removed and to my great surprise, the amp has a lid, so it can be used separately. I t's a great super lightweight setup with great Markbass tone, and this is the 500W version and not the 300W version that is out there. Its 300W at 8ohm and the full 500W with an additional cab - it is very loud on it's own. It comes with a bonus Markbass channel pedal and mute footswitch and also a Roqsolid cover which has a pocket. Being only 6 months old it's still under warranty. No issues and in fabulous condition. £550 - Collection from Plymouth ideally but happy to discuss couriers at cost to the buyer.
  14. Well sure, but I think that still involves some critical thinking/reverse engineering, no? And I would think what you're talking about is still beyond most people. Example: I've tried to get an LLM to spit out some code for an audio thing I wanted to do, and no, it didn't work, and furthermore, no, I didn't know how to fix it 😂
  15. Hello guys, I’ve upgraded to a Fender Rumble 100 and added an Ampeg Opto Comp. Still using the same bass and the Zoom as well. Thanks again for all the advice. Any updated tips on settings or tricks with this kind of rig?
  16. I’m going to be charitable and assume that you’re not some weirdo deviant and would have borrowed the filthy item from a guitard? And used gloves
  17. Today
  18. Thanks for confirming. It is annoying but at least I don't have to worry that my unit is faulty in some way! Confusingly, the EBS Octabass powers up in bypass which iswhat got me wondering aboutthe UniChrous. It is a very nice sounding chorus but doesn't really shine when battery powered. I've noticed once the battery voltage drops a bit the chorus gets quite "lumpy". Now I've got it 9V powered I'm liking it even more.

    SEI bass

    For a FSO-type Sei, the basic options will include body, neck and fingerboard woods, pickups/circuit and hardware colour. The quickest way to bump the price up is to add exotic woods, LEDs and expensive pickups/preamps. Not sure what the "base" level pickups are these days, it always used to be Kent Armstrongs.
  20. We are all individuals! ..not sure the link works... But it's the 'Life of Brian' ... we are all individuals.... I'm not! ....bit! trying for humour.. but might have failed!? .. 🤔😊
  21. Is that a metal insert? Blimey! Hats off to @Jabba_the_gut
  22. Fair enough... I understand why that works for you... I find the flats bring a life to it that I really like... Always subjective this game! ... Vive la difference! 😎
  23. Next is a doors tribute the doors alive then blackbeards tea party then a rush tribute , Moving Pictures Joe Jackson at the end off the year
  24. Thekla is a great venue!.. played there many times in the past 😎 Looks a great bass set up... What kind of stuff do you play?
  25. I'm relocating away from the area so we're currently looking for new bassist to join Peterborough Big Band after the summer (depending on moving dates!) Peterborough Big Band have been running for over 40 years and play an eclectic mixture of big band arrangements from 1940s swing right through to arrangements of modern pop classics and everything in between. Roughly 50:50 instrumental:vocal Looking for a committed bassist who can make weekly Thursday evening rehearsals. We don't have a lot of paid gigs, but we do a regular evening in the "Brewery Tap" function room in the centre of Peterborough roughly 5 times throughout the year. You need to be able to play from music dots and also be able make up your own lines (often walking bass) from a chords (80-90% of charts are fully written out music) I play bass guitar and double bass (depending on the tune) but double bass is absolutely not a requirement. Great bunch of people. Any questions, let me know. Or come and see our next gig on the 12th of Feb at the Brewery Tap, Peterborough. Links below are from one of our 'Brewery Tap' gigs from a couple of years ago. Awful lighting but you get the idea.
