Hello All, I recently picked up my lovely Fodera in 3 basses for 1 a trade from Bass Bros. It’s a truly stunning example of a passive jazz bass and is indistinguishable from new, I cannot find a mark or ding anywhere on the instrument. Please see a link to the exact model below, https://fodera.com/pages/emperor-j-4-standard-classic-legacy?_pos=1&_psq=emperor+standard+classic+legacy&_ss=e&_v=1.0 I would prefer a trade for something along the lines of a 4 string active jazz or similar. Ideally I would like a trade for something where I can receive cash my way. Please note that for some strange reason my bass is still listed on Reverb as for sale by The Gallery for just over £5000. I believe it must have been there as a consignment sale and subsequently moved to Bass Bros from whence it came to me. I don’t have lots of photos yet as this is very much an opportunity to see what might be out there. If there is sufficient interest I will be happy to post more photos. Please rest assured this is an incredible instrument, it sounds and plays wonderfully well as you would expect, weighs 4kg so it’s not at all heavy, and has a Fodera D tuner fitted. Hit me up if you have anything to discuss. This is a rare beast, in fact I can’t see many for sale at all unless you want to shop from Japan and pay a small fortune in duty, vat, shipping etc and a purchase price of over £6000. Needless to say I won’t be upset if I have to keep her, but a recent job change means a bit of cash will come in handy. Please note that two of these photos are taken from the Reverb listing. Rest assured nothing dodgy, yiu can see the bass in its case on the floor of my home office/music room. Please feel free to check my feedback as well. Thanks for looking. -
Nice job 👍

I’m selling my Eich BC112 Pro combo which is in excellent condition and comes complete with the genuine Eich padded cover and original shipping box. Here is the description from Eich; The BC112Pro combo is driven by power, punch and drive. With its 500 Watts you will experience every detail of your playing in a totally new and distinct way – completely unaltered but with lots of punch, just the way you like it. The well-balanced four-band tone control suits all musical styles with a perfect sound. The “TASTE” control allows you to emphasise the tonal characteristics of your instrument – everything between a wiry mid-boost, a bold slap and an ultra-fat Reggae or Motown sound. Jacks for FX loop, Tuner Out, Line Out, Line In and a transformer balanced pre/post switchable DI Out with ground lift lets you connect the BC112Pro to the outside world. The BC112Pro is ideal for travelling around the world due to their voltage switch which allows them to be operateded at 230 or 115 volts 50 – 60 Hz. The BC112Pro combo is fitted with our newly designed EICH TE12D-8 12” bass speaker chassis that works in meticulously calibrated enclosures to deliver an impressive bass. For optimum damping of unwanted resonances our housings are made with support bracings and dampened with acoustic foam. The combo features the new 4” CT1 tweeter with a ceramic-magnet system. In a coupled volume the tweeter convinced on one hand with his deep starting frequency, on the other hand, with its very flat frequency response and offers far beyond 10 kHz at astounding sound pressure for silky highs. All combos have an additional Speakon® combo connector for operating an additional cabinet. The internal speaker can be selectively switched off. At the "Rehearsal Section" a headset can be connected at “Phone out” and trough the “AUX-In” a music signal can be fed. The BC112Pro can be tilted in to a monitor position by inserting a stainless steel rod, which is located at the bottom of the combo. 300 watts as a standalone unit, 500 watts when an additional 8Ohm cabinet is connected. At just 14kg it is an easy lift, even for an oldie like me. Collection in person is of course welcomed but as I have the original Eich shipping box, postage within the UK can be arranged at buyer’s cost and risk. I could potentially meet part way for a bit fuel money. -

So, in less than three months, you have progressed from absolute beginner, to performance. That is impressive, not just for you, but also for the brass band. They clearly have a training and teaching route for new musicians.

It's a busy time at the moment - as usual at this time of year - with various concerts etc. Tuesday will be main choir concert in Keswick. Next Saturday I've got my first public outing with euphonium and brass band (I'm with the beginners and contributing a few notes to pieces performed by the training band and the main band). Following week the community choir is providing three sets to entertain the guests at a well-known hotel by Ullswater. I've had to decline various events due to either diary clashes, or in the case of the brass band I can't justify the distance for a short session in a café etc., especially given my novice status.

So, a secondhand Besson Sovereign euphonium

Last day for sale - then I’m logging out of BC, with notifications turned off, for a long break. -
One last bump before logging out later today and switching off notifications… 😊 -
I’m now a MB user having played Ashdown, Ampeg, TE, GK, Orange ( you get the picture ) !! Firstly it’s the cabs I like as I use two MB58R 102. Cabs stacked in my band ( rock / pop ) The amp is the MB LM IV which I chose over the MB58R head as it has a metal case like the previous models. For me the instant difference is the EQ frequency choice as it’s not focused at the very low 40hz like some but more 60hz upwards. It never sounds wooly or lost in a mix and clarity and clean is its forte, It hasn’t got grind or grit but I prefer a good clean sounding tone even for rock as I hear it better in the mix and it has that formidable MB punch ! Low weight and sensible pricing also makes them a great package They stack equally well vertical up format ( amazing to hear as top speakers are closer to ears ) or in the traditional 410 style as below if more stability is required etc

1982 Fender Precision Bass Special Walnut. Can you take it to the bridge?

Here are some gut shots. Likely the first time its been opened since the factory. The preamp appears to be original, and is very quiet and everything is working great. I cleaned the pots with D5, then the switch and jack and reflowed the jack. The ring area had some exposed wire which may have been causing the short. The pots are 2 from 1981 and 1 from 1980 all CTS. Caps all look good. Im not going to "fix" what is not broken by capping it since its all original and working and sounds awesome. -

Just back from our gig at The Stables, Milton Keynes. We always sell out, such a special venue, wonderful staff (mostly volunteers) and such an appreciative audience. Took the Smithy up for a blast as I’ve been reacquainting myself with her lately. Fantastic! A guy last year unbelievably donated £1000 to our homeless charity we collect for, and blow me he done exactly the same last night!! Incredibly humbling peoples generosity, it really is! Great night as usual up there x 😊

It's nice money but there's a reason that we don't do corporate gigs often. The first reason was getting in early and then sitting around for a couple of hours. The next reason is it can be darned hard work getting them partying. Anyway we'll chalk that one up as another success and we were well received, if a little unfulfilled personally. Kirby Muxloe golf club has a short stage and ceiling tiles that seemed to suck all of the top end out of the room and I had to back off my bottom end too to avoid stage boom. A bit of a shame as I took the Sire P7-5 out for a bit of an airing but it couldn't really sing. We were dressed fairly smartly. Shiny black DMs FTW Tomorrow's gig is probably the smallest pub we play in...
