    212 cab

    JPJ replied to BassAdder60's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I’ll throw the Vanderkley MNT 212 into the mix. Light enough to be a one hand carry, narrow enough to pass through doors without scuffing your knuckles, and chucks out an amazing sound.

    I thought that too until I realised that would put the feet on the bottom on the top.

    Just got in from first rehearsal of the year, last being over a month ago. Was really good, a few hiccups here & there as none of us have really played any of the material in the downtime, but no big issues, especially as we’re not a gigging band. Was great to just be in the rehearsal room playing some great songs and having a laugh. Used my Sandberg Lionel into the studios Ampeg SVT450 & 810 and it sat very nicely in the mix, very pleased indeed.

    Do not underestimate this make of pickups, Delano are excellent,

    I don’t need another preamp, but my love of the Acoustic sound keeps bringing me back here. Having tried and been massively disappointed by the OneControl 360, I’m reluctant to jump again, and you are a bit far away to pop round for a try. Do you have any sound clips of the preamp?
  8. Hellzero
    Sorry, but the original Music Man 2EQ preamp is boost only and I know what I'm saying owning an original 1978 and having made my own clones of this preamp.

    I’ve always wanted one of these! Unfortunately having a grandmother and minitaur , means that I’ll have to pass . Have a bump anyway ! GLWTS

    Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .

  12. dave_bass5 started following Balanced Tension String Sets
  13. dave_bass5
    I use the D’Addario 45-107BT and for me they make a difference over the standard XL’s. it sounds strange but to my fingers it makes them all feel as if they are one. no big jumps between sting thickness, tension, although obviously there is. I was worried 107 would be too thick, but it feels natural next to the other strings in this set. Could be a placebo effect, but the end result is i find my basses more of a pleasure to play, so job done in my book. Not the be all and end all, but given a choice ill stick with the BT set.

    @Geek99 thank you sir

    If I hadn’t just bought the API comp I’d have had the UT&T.
  17. JPJ started following Sei Flamboyant Headless 5
  18. JPJ
    I’ll second that. I remember seeing a similar SEI bass in a bass magazine probably twenty years ago, and I’ve wanted one ever since. Sadly, like you, my piggy bank is empty too.

    Just got back from a rehearsal with the Lionel which is now strung with 45-100 nickels (D’Addario) and using a 1mm pick rather than 0.73mm. Seems to have worked ok, it’s not as full sounding as my Precisions or my JMJ Mustangs but it sits in the mix better, so the tinkering will stop.

  23. JGSpector started following Ashdown Service
  24. JGSpector
    Nothing but great experiences with Ashdown here. Have had a couple of very pleasurable telephone conversations with Dave Green. Sent my 12 band 600 for a service because Sound was fading in and out, it came back six days later with new input Jack new input gain knob, new fans, and sent back to me with absolutely no charge, they didn't even charge me for the shipping
  25. Minininjarob
    New simplified layout. Just got the Source Audio Aftershock and it sounds pretty good, it replaces 3 seperate drive pedals. Not got into the software side of it yet as I don’t have the right cable but it’s good so far.

    Yup, re. that pain, bet your back is cussin' you every week!

    Ordered these bad lads on Sunday. Winged their way over the Atlantic from Canada in four days. What a time to be alive! Plunge Audio Dynamics. They'll get a run out next weekend...

    So my bass was attempted delivery today... 3 days after it should have been delivered. Had it redirected to a post office tomorrow, that I'm hoping will work out! I also had multiple delivery windows today which was also frustrating. I did a little research into the mail centre where it spent its vacation and it seems like a blackhole for parcels that go in and never come out. So I'm glad it's finally in a working system!
  29. super al started following Which Album?
  30. super al
    So many great albums with great bass on them and many I'll check out. If I go right back to the start of my bass journey, Level 42 got me interested in the bass guitar but from there I remember buying three albums quite close together around '87/'88, three albums with great bass playing from the '70s. I bought Heavy Weather and Black Market by Weather Report but the one album I would listen to the most was Stanley Clarke's School Days. It's not just the title track, the whole album grabbed me by the doo doo and I would listen to it over and over again. I was into Stanley's music for a while there, it was a bit hit n miss but School Days, for a mostly instrumental album, BOOM! Just gorgeous.

    2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and would be happy to share the postage costs.
