I can never fathom why so many folks set both bass and treble on full on that two band Stingray preamp. It's too much boom and clank for my taste

I suppose one question is what constitutes a charity? I've never been asked to do a gig for a charity as such, but looking back I've been asked to do a couple of gigs where the money went to a supposedly worthy cause. A benefit concert for the Miners Strike of 1984/5 springs to mind, and I played an AIDS benefit gig in the early 1990's. In both cases it didn't cost us to play. Regarding the first instance though, I still remember the arguments between members of the band over it.

Preferably a celluloid one for increased flammability 🙂 That said, it'd be a funny "can I borrow your bass?" bass.

I bought this cabinet along with another cab and an AH300 in November, not expecting to be moving house quite so soon - but it seems we might be moving as soon as March. I'd like to keep it, but if I can sell it that would be one less thing to have to ship overseas. It all works as you'd expect and in good condition cosmetically. It comes with a vinyl cover and is about 37kg. I added the badge recently to match my other cabinet, but it's only fixed with a sticky pad, so if you don't like bling I can remove it and knock a bit off the price. -
This bass should come with a health warning. It is 100% bad ass! it’s an American made limited edition Tony Franklin P Bass with quarter pounder pickups and a hip shot drop tuner. Its tone is unreal. It’s got that baked in natural powerful P-Bass tone. it’s been played hard but professionally maintained. It’s got scars but they add to its character. -

I found a new 'shelf' for my Elf today

Ironically, I've just received the mailer from Rush Backstage for the Grace Under Pressure Super Deluxe set coming out in March.

What does a reverse P configuration achieve compared to the standard Fender configuration? Ive got a bass with each type of P pickup but they're so different in terms of preamp and pickup position and bridge setup that I can't tell what reversing them has done.

150 comments and most of them irrelevant to the main issue 🙄 Feel a bit sorry for the OP re the 'It's a blu ray not a DVD' crap.
-
Is it the angle or is the body shape wrong? The lower cut seems too high towards the pickups. I appreciate it's a copy of course.

I'm a big fan of the Fender Hi-Mass bridge — Currently only £35 from Amazon I have these on (at least) six basses. The Brass saddles seem to keep the notes punchy.

Hi Nik, Many thanks for your message. An InPost locker service would be £1.99 or Royal Mail 2nd class £3.50. David -
The important question is, can you get a tort pick guard to fit?
-
Well, this arrived a few minutes ago: No breakages or anything. To be brutally honest, I'm stunned as to how nice it is. Frets need a bit of a polish, strings are nasty, neck is straight, there's no flaws in the finish...even the machine heads seem to hold. Obviously things need a bit of fettling, but for £200, there's nothing here not to like. In all probability the plan is to swap out the hardware; P94s, 300k pots, strap locks and further down the line machine heads. These are a job for future Paulie.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?

One thing I've done as a result of all this is to chart out the songs as the band plays them with notes to explain. One day they might need a dep or a replacement and having this reference material is going to save some bassist a lot of time. It could well be a fellow Basschatter. You're welcome. 😀 -
Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik -

I briefly ran a Mark Bass 102P with a 151P, and I didn't like it. A pair of 102Ps was a lot better. I've always run matching cabs ever since.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
Sean replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
I'm the newbie and there's quite a few things above that on the list of things to be having chats about that will refine the set. Things are really positive and moving forward, I need to be selective and focus. -
SWMBO has decreed that I have enough basses... Problem is she can't tell the difference between a MIM Fender Jazz and an American Professional II Precision... as long as they're both in Sunburst. So, this one is being quietly sold to make way... It's a 2014 Standard Jazz (Mexico), has a couple of dings - one on the head and the other just next to the bridge - both fairly small. Otherwise in good shape - usual scuffs on pickguard and pickup covers. Hard case included in sale. Cash on collection from Effingham (near Leatherhead/Guildford) in Surrey. You're most welcome to try before you buy.-

That is crazy. It's the bit that makes a relatively boring bass line interesting and they've screwed it. I would be having words. - Today

I definitely think it feels more that way with a parallel wired MM pickup (i.e. in a stock Stingray) than say a set of Jazz ones with volume pots in front. But yeah, it's probably not the best call for those who want to cut a lot of signal in any case.
