  1. Past hour
  2. Dropped to £200, without the spare strings I was originally including. This bass is in hardly used, mint condition.
  3. Weight is 9.2 lbs according to the bathroom scales.
  4. Ashdown Engineering Bassometer Bass tuner pedal in great condition. Built like a tank! With box and instruction leaflet. Price includes postage to mainland UK. N. B. There is no PSU with this.
  5. I had a trans-white second generation Sire P7 Ash 5-string and it was a great bass. Fantastic sounding B-string. Highly recommended.
  6. That kinda makes me like it more 😅 They're definitley going to be poly, so yes, you should be able to scuff it up and paint over the top of it.
  7. IME, while it is a great idea to have all the options available, in reality you'll pick one that works for your sound and then never change it. If I was doing this, I'd make a temporary control plate that will allow all the various options, and then when you have settled on the one(s) you like make a new one that just allows that/those.
  8. Class pedal - I feel like these original ones have a bit of mojo that the new ones don’t quite have
  9. Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam
  10. Absolutely. Takes a swathe of inexpensive basses off my shopping list, sadly. But I cannot get over it since some Canadian on talkbass compared it to a moose head
  11. If you do not have access to above solutions, an aluminium soda pop can is a possible substitute. Cut some strips and use in an emergency.
  12. Catch a fire - That Petrol Emotion
  13. Just don't let it get wet or it'll rust
  14. This would be the most important thing on my list........being the totally shallow creature that I am.
  15. OK, I'll be the partypooper then. I liked the red, and it looks like a very high quality refin job! Probably wasn't cheap. That said, it also made it look like one of the earliest Rockbass series Corvettes, which came in several solid colours including bright red. So you did well transforming it back into a real Warwick again
  16. I had a Fender American Professional I 5 string P bass for a while. Not a bad bass. The string spacing suits a switch from 4 string to 5 string and the neck feels very comfortable. I added a string retainer to the B string, which seemed to tighten the sound. The pickups as supplied were a bit "meh", so I switched to a 5 string Quarter Pounder.
  17. Beautiful bass, such an original looking headstock John 😎
  18. I had a Sire P8 that was a terrific bass. Everything about it was top notch, and I had no concern at all with the B string. But... I sat in Andertons and tried six basses of the same spec when I bought it, and they were all very different. Yes they had the same core tone, but two weighed more than a small planet and two had dodgy electrics. I don't remember the B strings being particularly bad, so that's a plus. The one I bought was a superb bass and was the perfect combination of playability, weight, tone and QC being spot on. The others, much less so...
  19. I’m considering building a music man/super jazz hybrid tone monster. The initial idea is to buy two quad coil humbucking pickups and set up the electronics for every possible combination. Each pick up would have a five way switch to choose between north coil, south coil, both coils in series or parallel, or off. And then a two-way switch to choose between combining the output of each pick up in series or in parallel. A couple of questions I have: Is this a viable way of combining the two pick ups electronics wise? is it even worth making all of these two options available?
  20. Given the state of the canine breakfast the accent is on the SHOULD. Any bets it won't disable the DI at the same time?
  21. Fire! - Sly and Robbie (and Ohio Players, of course!)
  22. Today
  23. Morning all, I’m interested in your opinions/experiences of 5er Ps, particularly Fender or Sire. I’ve found myself drawn back to 5ers since picking up an RB Streamer last year, but I’m after something a bit more traditional looking. My main concern with 5 string Ps is the B string - do they have a certain amount of clarity or have you found them to be a bit on the wooly side? Fanx. 😊
  24. Plugging anything into the headphone socket on the rear panel should disable the speaker - even just a dummy plug
  25. 2022 Squier classic vibe 60s precision bass neck VGC I bought this for a project bass and it fits the Squier body I have very well and played fine, however I just cannot get on with the glossy neck (my other basses have satin necks) Very good condition, just one missing bit of lacquer on the inside of the neck heel (unseen where it fits into the neck pocket) can't see much (if any) fret or neck wear. -Neck looks straight, truss rod adjustment headstock end. -42.8mm nut , bone nut -Vintage tint lacquered finish -Typical Squier/Fender heel size (around 63-64mm) I believe these are Maple with Indian laurel fretboard Machine heads/tuners work fine, they are a bit stiff compared to premium brand tuners. full spec here :- https://uk.fender.com/products/classic-vibe-60s-precision-bass
  26. Oh how could I forget this one: Ebay again but this time a Yamaha RBX765a,you know the one that can sell for under £200? This one has been fitted with SIMS fretboard LEDs. £1,260.00. It's been there for about a year or so unsold and I can't think why.
