  1. Past hour
  2. Did we ever get a Uke bass thread? Did I miss it?
  3. Not in the signal chain, an accessory. I don't think it counts.
  4. People put tort plates on just about any Fender colour now because it's become synonymous with the nebulous concept which is "vintage". Historically, Fender did indeed ship most of its custom colour basses with mint/parchment pick guards. Bear in mind that most colours except sunburst were actually custom colours, including black. Some black Fenders were sent out with tort plates, but usually only as customer's special orders through Fender dealers. That's why finding an all original vintage P Bass or Jazz Bass in black/tort is so hard. They do exist, but they are very, very rare. But if you look at Fender's vintage reissues you would think they were commonplace.

  6. Aargh I sold mine and still regret it. Sorry to hear about your situation. Amazing preamp.
  7. Hot off the back of last year’s triumph I have had a tier 1 failure this year, as I bought a Chocolate MIDI controller pedal in the first week of 2026. Ah well, there’s always next year!

  9. We allow straps, so a bag should be OK I would have thought?
  10. This is basschat … 🥴
  11. What I bought my house for in the 70s, makes grown men cry. 😎
  12. Well, I’ve just bought a rack bag, so I guess a tier 2 fail although it is for the PA amp, not bass gear. What’s the verdict?
  13. Phil Jones Bighead Pro HA2 for sale. Bought from new from Bassdirect and had it about a year I think. Looking for £200. Includes postage. I'm based in Cambridge. Here is some detail about the unit plus a photo or two and a link to a Youtube video. Mobile High Performance Multi-Function Headphone Amplifier/Digital Audio Interface The HA-2 is the second model in the Bighead series and is a step up model of the popular HA-1 Bighead with added technology and features. The HA-2 is a high resolution USB audio interface that supports PCM playback with up to 384 KHz sample rate/24 bit resolution. On DSD playback, sample rates of 2.822MHzand 5.644 MHz are supported, making it the ideal choice for musicians and engineers that desire high performance and the purest sound quality. It is a rechargeable lithium ion dynamo that is ideal for use in practice or recording situations. It also functions as a headphone booster amp as well as a preamp to drive powered amplifiers. The HA-2 has both passive and active instrument inputs with a 2 band EQ that is ideal for guitar and bass, yet versatile enough for use with other instruments. It has an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is fed by its USB jack, so any computer or appropriate cell phone charger can charge it in less than 3 hours, but it can play for up to 8 hours. Model: HA-2 Power Output: 300mW/ channel, Headphone Impedance: 16-64 OHMS Frequency Response: 10Hz-40KHz Controls: Master volume, input gain, treble/bass for instrument input signal, headphone jack, line out, AUX input, micro USB for battery charge and digital interface Power: Internal lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery or USB Power Dimension: 3” x 5.9” x 0.9” (WxDxH) Weight: 0.6lbs / 290 g Other: Includes soft bag, stereo signal cable, and micro usb cable
  14. @Berserker Many thanks.
  15. As new condition. This was for a planned project that never happened. I unpacked it, had a quick trial and then put it back in the box. £70 collected. If you want it posted, cost will be around a fiver.

  16. I'm sure I've seen a photo of him playing 5 tracks
  17. I approve of those choices, except for the sunburst/black combo. Mid-to-late '70's Fender is a rational prejudice as far as I am concerned. I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for it!😄 If you like I could be really annoying and regail you with what I could have bought that bass for back in the eighties (£200 tops). Myself, I can't abide red basses with tort guards. It's too much redness, like it wants to give me heartburn.
  18. I thought that it was a good feature that if you wanted it can be used as a guitar/bass tuner, and use it live for the amp sims and effects (including xy screen), so could feasibly be a decent enough guitar/bass multi fx for one gig and with a different band use it for samples etc. Feels like they are nearly at the point of being able to do it all.
  19. Today
  20. I’m thinking of maybe having the dots like this on my bass. I’m visiting Overwater next week so I’ll make my decision while I’m there.
  21. I certainly don't see that with the Akai (I have a Live 2) - all the jack sockets (it has quite a few) are full size and it is pretty solid (ie, you could injure yourself on it), and although it does have a 2 pin power connector, it does have an internal battery with > 4 hour life so its good for a gig. It has full size USBs and normal protected SD slots, and 5 pin midi sockets. I would have no problem using it live (and thats what I have it for), and I would note that Akai MPCs are used very routinely by touring groups. Ultimately I am not sure what you would do for it from a bass point of view, I can't see what that brings, even if I can plug my bass into it (which obviously I can), mine is there for triggering samples, sequences, even whole sections of music, which i would do either by midi for a sequence of by hand on the pads.
  22. Tort, white, black, gold aluminium - you pays your money and takes your choice. Some folks will love some of these and others will hate them.
  23. As per title. Superb condition. Fantastic neck & fretboard. 9lb 8oz. Original hardcase, certificate, scratchplate etc all included. Collection Darlington, may do half way meet. Feedback available. SORRY, no courier, trades or offers. Try to find a cheaper one! Very reluctant sale. Many thanks for looking, Karl.
