If I had a template to follow, preferably in CAD I could do it. But again I'm reluctant to offer guarantees about fit when fractions of a millimetre matter so much. -
Anyone using the new TC Electronic BC208 2x8 cabs?
NukeBass replied to Tradfusion's topic in Amps and Cabs
I have both a bg250-208 combo and the newer bc208 cabinet - they do play well together. It’s a shame TCE used slightly different dimensions for the newer cab (it’s a trifle narrower and a bit taller than the combo), which means it doesn’t stack quite as neatly as you would expect - dunno why on earth they did that… -

Yes, it's possible. I'm going to make fretless and 22 fret fingerboards a no-charge option for this batch just to say thanks for your support and trust. -
+1! Aaaaargh! Indeed -
I know it means I'm sad, but that grates on me, too.

I would agree with this from my experience and what a lot of other people have said - I think the re-issues that came the closest to the originals were probably the 2013-2017 AVRI line. I'm sure these are good basses but the pricing on them at the moments feels extremely speculative, especially when you can get decent late'60s/early '70s models for less money.

Good call

Future impact V4 already acheives this i hear. But i think the reason it hasnt taken off is that its too complicated. I beleive a more cut down version of the FI (in a small modern enclosure) would have sold much better. Think about it, theres nothing the MXR can do that the FI cant.....

I briefly had a fretless bass. Didn't care for the tone and it didn't fit my bands. I was also using flats for the first time in a long time which I'm also not keen on. I don't like mwah and don't understand the appeal.There are a few songs where I don't mind fretless bass, but I don't even really like the tone of other people playing fretless bass. Safe to say it isn't for me 😅 Fill your boots though - variety is the spice of life.
-
I may have solved the issue. By putting the tone circuits before the blend pot keeps them operating per pickup, I think. I decided I need a way to mute the instrument. In the end, a master volume pot it the most useful, and graceful way to do that.
-
Hopefully the bass amp on its own sounds good, I briefly had the Katana 100 guitar combo and got fed up with the very digital sounding tone and adjustment overload ! People rave about them but I’m too old school to faff around making presets on a laptop etc
-
Subjective experience is totally valid. Mine is that unless it has at LEAST a 35", the B string lacks clarity/harmonics. I have also had 35" basses with a mediocre B however, which does suggest the scale length alone is not a guarantee.

I might consider a trade, or exchange, for a different instruments This Olinto is a sensational instrument, maybe the best passive jazz 5 I've ever tried.. a very woody and organic voice.. it doesn't sound like the typical maple fretboard instrument.. it sounds very 60's.. it even has a sound that seems older than my 66 jazz!! As for the characteristics of the instrument: Olinto J5, Production year 2023 body: alder maple neck, birdseye maple fingerboard, custom Mas Hino hand wound pickups 34" scale Carbonetti Sunburst nitro finish hipshot hardware weight around 4kg original hard case available a spare white perloid pickguard Other pics and samples available on request price for a new one, around 5200$ plus shipping, plus taxes I set a trade value of 4800€, open to discuss depending on the offers no issues on the bass.. really near mint conditions -

Totally agree, find the right and best singer you can even if setlist has to change. Our set went from Alanis Morissette to Iron Maiden !! and lots in between
-
Aaargh! Just missed it.
-
That's 100% what I want. Like someone else here said, if it nails the sounds we love (don't care how it's achieved frankly), the ease of use of a single stomp, and has the accurate tracking and low latency... Well, that's the holy grail right? It will almost certainly outsell every other synth pedal released recently, combined.

Stolen from these pages. Last one could be about basses, too.
-
Thanks Steve, could you offer it as an option as do Warmoth with their 'standard 4-bolt' screwholes on Precision necks? -

Without wishing to throw the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons I've found scale length not to be a factor with regards to decent sounding B strings. Design,build quality and neck pocket tightness seems to be more influential but I'm no expert on the science. I've tried Dingwalls in the past and think they sound good however 👍

Doobie Brothers - 50th Anniversary Tour (with Michael McDonald) on Thursday at Birmingham BP Pulse Arena and Saturday at the London O2 Arena. 😎

Just spotted that current jazz guitar fave Rosie Frater Taylor is the support for Lee Ritenour at Band on the Wall next Monday, and grabbed a ticket. Reckon Ritenour and his band will probably be OK as well.

This is a great little bit of kit, I have the Apogee Duet too and I can't justify owning two interfaces. Discontinued now, but it works without issue on both my elderly Macbook Pro and my newer M1 Air running iOs 14 (with a USB-C adaptor). Takes a 1/4 inch bass/gtr or an xlr input as well as the built-in mic, so it's ideal for recording - I've used it for online teaching as it's a great way of easily getting my voice and bass into Zoom. A fair few scratches on it and the plastic on the channel indicator has a couple of small cracks, but I've just plugged it in and everything works as it should. £40 securely packed and tracked to mainland UK addresses.
