Tech 21 Bass Flyrig V2 with power plug . With instruction manual and box. Versatile bit of kit. £268 posted -
Up for sale, a 1980 Kawai F-II B, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. 1450 € This rare, expertly-crafted Kawai clearly takes its design cues from Alembic, featuring maple/mahogany neck-through construction, mahogany/koa body wings, and active electronics, including the four-way rotary pickup selector only seen on the earliest F-II Bs. Each humbucker is powered by its own 9v battery, dynamic and immediate with great upper-midrange burp, and the bass benefits greatly from the articulation, immediacy and roundness of the active electronics. The bridge pickup has a potent sound with enough nasally top end attack to cut through when needed and provide the necessary presence. With both pickups engaged, there are a myriad of subtle variations via the three-way Tone Character toggles, and the interaction between both pickups and tone switches provides many of the most pronounced and thumpy sounds the bass has to offer. The mini toggles are essentially midrange boost/cut controls, neutral in the middle position. At the neck, the bass has a certain softness and breadth, with a pillowy low end that sits well in a mix, and the fourth position on the rotary pickup selector is a mute/kill switch. Neck Specs: Wood: Maple/mahogany (five-piece) Shape: Slender C Fretboard: Rosewood slab, dot inlay Frets: Medium jumbo. Scale Length: 34” Body Specs: Wood: Koa /mahogany Pickups: Humbucker x2 Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, “Tone Character” three-way mini-toggle x2, four-way rotary Pickup selector Hardware: Rugged brass toplader bridge Original rectangular case. Worn but still functional. Shipping at the buyer's expense. Open to possible trades. -
I’ve nearly had all three except I had the Squier Classic Vibe 70’s model The Squier needed better pickups as a mod apart from that it was good. Player series was a step up in feel and quality and sound. The Player II is one stage further in improvement and has a better neck, pickup and feel. I’ve just added a new Standard and it is as good as my old mim Player but not quite up to Player II series in build quality and tone but pretty close

Hi Sean...I was just doing a bit of research on the old plank and he jumped right out of the page at me!! Not sure about the 'rock history' bit but thanks anyway! Hope you're doing ok. His a picture of Mr Relentless (as the bass was christened by other band members back in the day) in his heyday...with a much younger/slimmer me at the helm!...and another of him now hanging in my little home studio Swany...I'm sorry but he's not available at any price. I play Spectors now but too much sentimental value

So did I. I assume Gibson brings it's own domain and the rest is Shopify under the covers. If Shopify can provide all of that for a price less than rolling your own, good for Shopify. Rob

If Adam Clayton doesn't want them then I don't either. Besides which, wearing a Rolex is just asking for trouble nowadays apparently. According to the Daily Mail, in central London you might just as well chop your own arm off with a chainsaw.

Always thought the BTB was a great looking bass. GLWTS.- 1 reply

Not everybody's cup of tea, but definitely my cup of tea. I love a Bongo. That finish looks like Egyptian Smoke, if I'm not mistaken. The colour scheme on these earlier Bongos was inspired by the available colours for BMW cars at that time in the early-mid 2000's. Makes sense in light of the BMW connection. Anyhow, lovely bass, I hope you have a lot of fun playing it.

Looking to get a beater Pbass and torn between these three. Anyone owned both the player and classic vibe, what are your experiences? 1 and 2 are almost the same price and have no mods, and because it's second hand, I like that it has more mileage and most prolly been setup. Or get the latest player II coz I'm a sucker for maple and blue combination. 1. Squier Precision Fiesta Red Classic Vibe 60s - 2nd hand 2. Fender Player in Tidepool - 2nd hand 3. Fender Player II in Aquatone - bnew

Hi all, I thought it was time I introduced myself, esp as I've been lurking for a few weeks and devouring the wealth of knowledge and information in various threads. I'm AJ (Aubrey) and am based in south Manchester. I've recently rekindled my relationship with all things bass having spent the previous 30+ years without playing so much as a note, so am now in the process of catching up with three decades of evolution. Anyway, a bit about me - I was in a couple of post school bands, mainly garage/rehearsal room outfits in the late 80s/early 90s - we gigged here and there but never with any regularity. The bands ebbed and flowed depending upon university holidays, and eventually dissolved as folk graduated and moved away. Most of our gear was home made (from Maplin kits and the like) and my valve hi-fi enthusiast father was a dab hand at reviving various amps found in junk shops and house clearance sales. So having come from that DIY background I've loved reading about the BassChat and LockDown cab builds, and the various valve amp build diaries. That said, since returning from hiatus I've managed to acquire a few bits and pieces I'd have loved to own back in the day, namely an Aria SB1000 and a couple of 1980s Trace Elliot amps (including a BLX-80 combo - £79 from Cash Converters!) for which my back has not forgiven me.

Suggestions for passive DI box
Chris Hales replied to Gunsfreddy2003's topic in Accessories and Misc
It's a low power bipolar op-amp I'm using. I'd prefer to use a JFET op-amp but the input capacitance of very low noise parts tends to roll of the high frequencies. That's not really an issue seeing as it's intended for bass use, but I tend to be a bit obsessive about these things! You're right that the thing can't really make up its mind what it is! In part, that's deliberate in attempt to give it as wide appeal as possible. I was never really thinking of this as something you'd use all the time but rather somethng you'd be really glad you had in your gigbag once in a while. The popping is causd by the DC settling at first switch on. I'm also obsessive about preserving the low frequency response, so the time constants are all very long. I definitely could work on that and still be better than a typical FX pedal or bass amp, for that matter. It sounds like I have a bit more work to do and a bit of research into how a typical active DI behaves when it's first plugged in. Thanks for your really helpful feedback - I really appreciate you taking the trouble to pass on your thoughts. Cheers Chris -
I have been slowly following along with the beginner's path on Scott's Bass Lessons (slowly bc of long working hours) and having a lot of fun with it, and some of the things I can play now actually sound like songs I know! However, I broke my collarbone last week, and I can't find a way to keep playing without a lot of pain. I'm scared that I will somehow "un-learn" all I've done during the coming period. I have no idea how fast this will heal and I haven't made it to a shoulder specialist yet due to busy hospitals. Anyone else had a similar occurence?

Suggestions for passive DI box

Thanks for your thoughts and comments. I know it's impossible for this thing to suit all users, but I am very consciously trying to give it wide appeal. The way I see it, if I was to do a small production run of these, there is no way I could compete price-wise. The bigger the production run, the more competitive it would be, though it's never going to be an inexpensive product. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to get rich from this but if I was to take it further, I would like to be fairly confident I'd at least cover my costs. -
Price drop to £1100 and edited the part-ex’s a little. Si -
Yeah DemonFX are pretty well-known for their borderline counterfeiting of well-known pedals. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge-pole, who knows what’s going on under the hood. Some people seems happy with them, but I’ve heard reports of noisy pedals and all sorts of crap-outs you’d expect of such things. YMMV. Si

They'd be too short for an extra long scale. Sorry. -

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with foot pedal £350
mike257 replied to SarahL90's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Looks like the original version which sounds a fair bit nicer than the more recent Mk3/Mk4 models! -
Why do you say that? Others have sold for more than I’ve advertised.
