    nice! How close can it get to a proper P bass tone (both tone on and off)? Is it really light?
  4. Wolverinebass
    I have, yes. I started with the 105-45 (2319 set which has an 80). That's really good, but, I ended up preferring the set that has an 85 for tension. They take downtuning very well and doing 3 semitones is possible. Going to C from an E is too, but that's the limit I've found. The downside is the set with the 85 is like a tenner more which is unfortunate. I think it depends how flash one wishes to be. Were one to have an endorsement deal, I'd use them on other basses I have, but since I don't, I just use them on the Status Buzzard a la John Entwistle.

    To be fair, I'm pretty target audience for it; I am a big fan of both Nathan East, the Laney Digbeth line, and your reviews! Can't say I'm surprised to see the video, but I clicked on it thinking it was a BGM review!

    Hi Simon. Many thanks for your reply and observations especially on the M6 and Spector. The M6 is a really great looking instrument however interesting what you say about the B string and the QC. The Cort Space 5 appears to me to be a better all round option ? I have a 4 string Spector Legend Classic. I love it. I too would go for an Icon (or another Spector 5) but I'm concerned about the string spacing , as you point out. Guess I just need to try one out.

    @Beedster my apologies! It sold offsite some time ago and I forgot to remove it here 🤦‍♂️ Now using a Xlson which I’m very happy with - excellent on pizz, and surprisingly good on arco!

    Thank you! I appreciate the feedback ☺️🙏 I’m very pleased to hear it, I hope that my Bass Gear Magazine reviews do too, but I never really know!

    Regarding the Compressor the website states "Advanced DSP platform, in-house algorithms". I'm gonna guess that is a copy and paste error. Surely this pedal is analog?
  11. Killerfridge
    It's a great video, got pushed to me naturally by 'the algorithm', so was nice to see just appear!

    I use DT770 Pro, so I was all over the app for a test! Hmmm, I like the EQ ‘flattening’, I’m slightly less enamoured about engaging the speaker function which definitely works better in the ‘dry’ setting to me. That said, I can’t really complain as it’s not as if I have to splurge for the price of Sound ID’s headphone correction software! Still, good to have the ole cans out again!
  13. Dood started following Laney Digbeth Nathan East Preamp DB-East-Pre and New Bass stuff at NAMM 2026
  14. Dood
    I’m not sure if Laney are at NAMM, but this week they announced the brand new Nathan East preamplifier pedal. I was involved with the testing and was asked to produce a product release demo for Laney and Nathan. I’ve linked my video in our reviews section.. because, you know, BassChat and everything Please give me some nice feedback on the YouTube video itself, show some love ❤️

    I think it's a longer cycle but it uses less water at 30°C! Genuinely really like this design, I can see the shelf being handy for bits and pieces. One could even perch perhaps. The Tone Hammer's a great sounding amp and the connectivity on the back is pretty handy. Wish they'd added some wheels to the back, so you can pull it along from that top handle. I guess you could add some?

    Here’s my promo video I recorded for Laney Amplification to support the release of Nathan East’s new Digbeth Preamplifier Pedal this week. I am also very proud to have been an important part of the prototyping and testing for Nathan’s pedal prior to release and was involved in tweaking the tonal parameters.

    "Pick out the best of the bunch from the stockroom for our NAMM display wall." "OK boss, I really like this BB434M with the obviously mismatched centre piece of wood. I like the way it stands out and doesn't just blend in like the others." [A moments pause then face-palm]

    Come on Terry empty out your pockets. You always come up with something interesting for me 😂

    I saw this on the Bass Bros website. TBH the jury is still out on the natural flat finish and the lack lustre bartolini 's 😔 There was another 675 sold recently very close to where I live. But I bought another Yammie instead so cleaned out the piggy bank. Thanks for the heads up though 👍

    Selling these lot. Needs must and I’m sticking with just the Anagram now for my current projects and gigs. 1. Rockboard Duo 2.1 with TRS Mod and Gear4Music bag - SOLD 2. PirateMIDI Bridge 6 - £150 Amazing 6 switch MIDI controller. I like this better than MC6 Pro(borrowed my guitarists’ one for a while). I used it for the Anagram but can be programmed to control latest modellers like QC, Kempfer and many more. Easy and intuitive editor. Updated firmware to latest. Free postage via Royal Mail 24hrs tracked.

    I think there’s some variation in Fender pickup sizes - some are the same length (long-long), but most are short-long like these. This may help? https://bartolini.net/2025/04/17/fender-j-bass/

    Just got this last month to power my Anagram and 2 pedals for a compact board I built. Realised I only need the Anagram now and needing funds for non gear related purchase I just made. This psu has 4 slots: three standard 9V/500mA and one high-current 9V/12V switchable 3A output. Can power any modellers. Includes an extra longer right angle IEC cable. Got it from Andertons for £225 brand new. Repriced to £180 Free postage!

    wish they could’ve offered new colourways especially the 435s
  26. Cornwall Steve
    Yep, seen this already. Looks a very nice bass though I confess I know nothing about this particular model, but looks interesting after seeing on line reviews. Thanks for the heads-up 👍

    I saw the Scorpions live on the Lovedrive tour. I remember Francis was playing a P Bass through an SVT rig and you could feel it hitting you in the chest. RIP Francis, no more pain now.
