Loved his work on miles' tutu and jarre's zoolook. My ownership of a fretless sire with his name on the headstock is purely coincidental though

Has anyone played a Hagstrom Super Swede?
Mediocre Polymath replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
The Canadian luthier Ted Woodford (him off YouTube) recently did a video on an attempt to rescue one of their new-era guitars. I'll see if I can find it. It's very long and technical though. The gist was that these instruments are all built with an oddly shaped steel extrusion instead of a truss rod. It has these sorts of ribs that extend into the wood of the neck. It's glued into the neck as the laminates are being put together and is completely impossible to remove or service. That on its own wouldn't be a huge problem (it's not like replacing a truss rod is a common maintenance job) but there seemed to be something fishy about it. Ted is very polite (Canadian) and understandably wary about getting sued, so he didn't come out and say anything directly, but I got the distinct impression he believed the design was fundamentally flawed, or just a steel reinforcement bar with an adjuster on the end that didn't really do anything. -
I see what you did there...

Oh oh cocked that one up already

Bring passport and keg of cider. I'm coming from the North West though. Not sure how I'll fit in. I'll probably have to get a smock and and practise my drawl 😊

Reminds me of the time I started a new school. Went into the assembly hall and saw a double bass on the empty stage. Just there. On its side. I’m not ashamed to say it was love at first sight and it informed my life for the next sixty years. -
A LITTLE?! 😄

You'll be more than welcome to join us and the other 'incomers' from out of area. We've managed to attract a few already. Just make sure you don't have a big breakfast on Bash day 🙂

Mate, I'm coming down from Aberdeen - there aren't any regional eligibility rules, the only rule as far as I'm aware is "don't be a d!ck" - actually, they bend that one for me a little

Anyone else doing the Black Sabbath live stream?

SHARRRROOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN? -
Nice work and very creative. However, you will have to try harder to get an endorsement deal from EBS I fear.
-
This looks like a real bargain - difficult times but I’d be surprised if this hangs around. Quality, versatile workhorse amps -
Due to the lack of a SE Bash for the last few years I wondered, would it be okay to attend this out of region? Anyone going from London? Not that I can book train tickets for another few weeks yet.

HeadlessBassist replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Agreed. Yes, they have one new one in stock. I need to go back there and try it when I get a moment. It’s one of those highly things that you mean to do, but never seem to get round to… -

I picked this up from @Basilpea not that long ago. It's a great cab, but it isn't a cosmetic match to my other AT210, so being the fickle person I am I want to replace this... It's got some small dents from being gigged, but overall in good condition and absurdly light. You can pick it up with two fingers! It's also very loud. W52 x D33,5 x H57 cm 600 watts at 4 ohms 103dB SPL Also comes with GR Bass soft padded cover. GR say: The lightest 2×10 bass cabinet in the world. Thanks to its size, lightness, and power, the AT 210 is one of the most versatile cabinets in the entire catalog. Suitable for both small and large live shows, it allows you to always have your sound with you. With the AeroTech line, you can have the incredible innovation of our Carbon Fibre cabinets combined with the Pure Sound of GR, which is the pure sound of your instrument. Incredible sound, lightweight, power, impact resistance, and a beautiful modern design. I'm afraid this is collection only, as I don't have anything suitable to ship it in. No trades either thanks. I'm using @Basilpea's pictures, which I hope he's okay with.-

This amp is now £400 on Amazon. Incredible. I will drop the price for the amp, adapter, pedalboard and case to £500, which is still a good deal I think, but I really cannot go any lower. If it doesn't sell at this price I will just keep it as a spare. -

I think they look great... I think 'HotRox' have them.... -
Marcus's tone has definitely got a little more "scooped" as years have gone by. I remember buying his first solo album when it came out in about 1983/4 and being bitterly disappointed that there wasn't more bass guitar on it. It was mainly synth bass, I seem to remember.

Just the PSU left now. No box or cables. £40 posted.

Just in case anyone needs to source a Sire neck
rainbowreality replied to rainbowreality's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've heard that said before but I really don't have a problem with it. Eye of the beholder I suppose 🤩 -
Is it one of these? Harvest Green? Looks a blummin lovely colour that! Nice nice bass. I see they come with a noiseless J pickup. Might want to factor that in if you replace them as you might not enjoy the hum off a single coil. As has been mentioned, maybe try lowering the pickups you do have (if you haven't already). You might find the passive beef and sweetness you're after if you wind them down a bit. The Player pickups seem decent stock from what I've read. Of course having one in your hand is the real story...
