  1. Past hour
  2. They know there’s an imminent influx of loan-laden freshers 😕
  3. Its a P1-4S. Very whumpy!
  4. I wish someone would make mine. It’s been a totally sugar honey iced tea 48 hours
  5. If your budget was £2K max (preferably closer to £1.5K) with the following criteria, what would you go for? • Fender(ish) looks and feel, traditional 4 string • Passive • PJ configuration • Precision or v similar body, not offset / Jazz (too big and bulky for my short arse) • Jazz neck, maple board, 38mm at nut • Very high quality neck and fretwork, ridiculously low action achievable • Adjustable string spacing (somewhere between 18/19mm would be good) • Light-ish • Relatively readily available, let’s say 1 month wait max TLDR What are my options for a high quality PJ with a J neck?
  6. I played for about 30 years without a compressor. I then switched to fretless permanently about 7 years ago and decided to give a compressor a go as some of the things I'd read said it was a benefit and because Pino uses one 😆 After a really good chat with @itu he suggested an optical compressor for fretless and recommend the Ampeg Opto as a starting point which had great reviews. I can honestly say it is incredible and has transformed my fretless playing and tone. I'm not sure exactly what it's doing but it just adds magic dust over my tone and makes it tighter and a lot more musical. Like I say, I've no idea what it's doing and I have it set quite subtle but I definitely know when it's not on and I couldn't live without out it. My chain is Bass > Tuner > Octave > Overdrive > Chorus > Reverb 1 > Reverb 2 > Compressor > DI
  7. Noll with volume (push/pull for active/passive), balance, tone, bass, mid, treble yes it comes with new gig bag
  8. Bass players are always right. If we weren’t, we would be playing guitars
  9. Each of the output taps that I have used (4ohm and 8ohm) has a jack socket and a Speakon socket in parallel. I'll always use the Speakon socket (unless I have no other choice) and the plug locks into place on those. There is no impedance selector swith - I don't trust them!
  10. Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. This one is a cracker and was bought as my "forever" bass-sigh!. Although a short scale it it is a bit of a bulldog, by that I mean that it is solid and the chunky. It is also versatile bass with loads of punch and this one has the "premium" flame top. Lots of top players love these and as a result they are pretty rare beasts. I managed to find a Supro soft case that fits it, which is included. The pictures are from when I bought it from Bass Direct but it is exactly the same as it has only rarely been played and has never left my house! Here some blurb! The Supro Huntington I Bass is a superb short-scale bass from this legendary New York guitar and amp manufacturer. With an outstanding level of build quality, this bass will appeal to a wide range of players. It comes equipped with a single vintage Gold Foil pickup, plus a piezo pickup integrated into the High Mass bridge, giving it a huge array of tones. It is also extremely comfortable to play, thanks to its 30” scale and ergonomic neck join. Now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every instrument we sell goes through a rigorous check-over and professional set-up prior to shipment, ensuring you receive the very best possible example. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and beyond. The Supro 2041 Huntington 1 is a newly-designed, short-scale bass combining the classic body shape of the early ‘60s Ozark model with vintage-correct passive electronics and sonic inspiration from the Supro Pocket Bass of the same era. The unique Gold Foil pickup found in the Huntington I bass is an authentic replicas of the original “Clear-Tone” pickups found in the vintage Supro Violin, Taurus and Pocket Bass models. This high-output single coil delivers legendary, deep low-end, with very low noise and a massive, broadband sound that stays warm and balanced across the entire range of the instrument. The Supro Huntington 1 in Natural Mahogany also features a piezo pickup, built into the high mass bridge. This adds an acoustic bass sound via a toggle switch. When the piezo pickup is activated, the tone knob functions as a blender, allowing the player to mix in the acoustic sound to taste. The Huntington’s maple neck has a smooth, black satin finish and 30” short-scale length, with a glued in, set-neck joint that provides ergonomic access to the entire Pau Ferro fretboard. The set neck design, premium woods and high-end hardware along with the unique, vintage correct Supro pickups make the Huntington both a world-class recording bass and gigging workhorse instrument that is incredibly easy to play; especially for musicians accustomed to the shorter neck of a 6-string guitar. Although its scale is short, the sound of the Huntington bass is astoundingly large—boasting a tight, confident, buttery low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs.
  11. Do the rules allow new entrants ¾ of the way into the challenge? Probably 🤷‍♂️
  12. I'm now looking around my Music Room and... "Oh Gawd! He's right..." 🫣
  13. QSC CP12 Active PA Speaker 1000 Watts One of two - priced individually or for a small discount if sold as a pair. This speaker is as new and has not been used since purchase. It comes with additional QSC waterproof cover for outdoor use. Very powerful speakers however I’m downsizing and selling my larger portable PA gear. Street price is £579 cheapest I can find so this is a good saving. The covers cost an extra £67. The user manual is included. I have two of these for sale. I can knock off £40 if you buy the pair. Pickup definitely preferred but talk to me if this is impossible. UK only. Postage would be at buyer’s cost and I’d need to source packaging as the boxes have been recycled. These speakers get glowing reviews in Sound on Sound magazine - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/qsc-cp-series I own a pair of QSC CP8s which are perfectly fine for keyboard monitoring and rehearsal PA so these aren’t needed now for personal use. Specifications from QSC below - Features Class-D amplifier with 1000W peak power output Selectable contours (presets) for quick setup Advanced DSP with Intrinsic Correction™ Superior sound quality and speaker protection Directivity Matched Transition™ (DMT) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field Suitable for use as a main PA, stage monitor or instrument amplifier 35mm pole mount socket Lightweight and incredibly portable Specifications Configuration: Two-Way Active Low Frequency Driver: 12'' Cone Woofer High Frequency Driver: 1.4'' Compression Frequency Response: 49Hz - 20kHz, -6dB 47Hz - 20kHz, -10dB Sound Pressure Level: 126dB (Maximum) Nominal Coverage: 75° Axisymetric Amplifier Type: Class-D Amplifier Power: 1000W (Peak) Input Connectors: 2 x XLR/TRS Combo (Line and Mic/Line) 1 x 3.5mm TRS Stereo Output Connector: 1 x XLR (Mix) Controls: Power 2 x Gain Mic Boost Push Switch 6-Way Contour Selection Switch Indicators: Power LED 2 x Input Signal LEDs Input B MIC Selected LED Limiter Active LED Power Supply: 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz Enclosure Material: Polypropylene Grille: 18 Gauge Powder Coated Steel Dimensions: 516mm x 350mm x 323mm / 20.3'' x 13.8'' x 12.7'' (H x W x D) Weight: 13.7kg / 30.3lbs

  14. If these were for 19mm I'd have bought them already, love Big Splits!
  15. Apparently, the Modulus made early necks were a myth (rrp of a modulus neck was almost as much as the rrp of the G Bass), and they are not actually carbon necks as marketed, they have a maple core with a carbon wrap. Still cracking basses for the money of course, but really interesting marketing choice from Peavey; the manual literally says it's a Carbon Graphite neck with no mention of it being mostly wood. Crazy but there you go. Still want it!
  16. I cast you out, unbeliever How dare you suggest selling stuff? Don’t you know that all right-thinking basschat members have covered every vertical surface of their hovels** with basses ? MGGA make GAS great again ** there may be a connection here between hovels and having lots of ba…
  17. FYI They paid £600 for it and wouldn't take £500, though I suspect they might end up doing so if it hasn't sold in another few months!
  18. No idea, but most recent Cubes including the current model have built-in compression, which is usually helpful for slappers.
  19. What about if the player is also suitably ‘reliced’ ? Fair do’s on this though! 😄
  20. So many possibilities here. @SimonK has offered the first one. This will be mainly down to eq. What speaker are you using? It may be a case of you not hearing it on stage, but it is shaking the walls at the back of the pub! Finally, there's quite a lot going on with the controls of the amp. Have a read of @JGSpector review on here.
  21. Ooh, lovely basses, and a proper rig 👍
  22. As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

  23. Reduced to £50. Kent Armstrong Bass Humbucker for a 4 string bass. Circa 1990 when I purchased new and still in excellent condition and virtually unmarked. It's been in two of my basses over the last 35 years and sounds great. I think these were handmade, add £7.00 for UK insured postage.
