    That's because the main component of the sound is the steel or nickel strings driving a magnetic pickup and the traditional guitar amplification.

    D'Addario Chromes ECB81-5, 45-132 https://www.daddario.com/products/guitar/bass-guitar/xl-chromes-bass/ecb81-5-chromes-bass-5-string-light-45-132-long-scale/ String gauges: 45, 65, 80, 100, 132. D'Addario describe them as "Warm tone and tight, defined bottom". These are versatile, clear-sounding flats. Selling as I no longer own a five-string bass. These are for long scale (normal 34") basses, and have been cut for a Fender-style 4+1 headstock. £30 posted.

    Not particularly practical but definitely an interesting experiment. And always with these things it doesn't seem to matter how radical the design is or how little body there is, let alone what it's made of, it still sounds like an electric guitar.

    Right folks, help me decide what to take. Don't clutter up the thread, DM me and tell me if there's anything you'd specifically like to see/play from the following: Epiphone Les Paul Standard bass - modded - DiMarzio X2N-B pickups, series/parallel, Babicz bridge etc. Epiphone Jack Casady (20th Anniversary) - unmodded G&L CLF L-1000 - unmodded Reverend Triad - modded - Freeway 10 way switch Yamaha BB1200 - unmodded Sire Z7 - unmodded Epiphone Thunderbird '64 - unmodded Greco LPB-700 - modded - Freeway 6 way switch Burny (Fernandes) LSB-80 - modded - Kent Armstrong lipstick pickups, Artec EXP active mid range control DeArmond Jet Star Spel - modded - Peavey T-40 pickup added, series/single switch for T-40 Neep One - custom bitsa - Warman MM4/Roswell large pole piece J pickups, Artec SE-2 preamp, Hipshot hardware Fazely Hot Rod (the Ratlet) - modded - Tonerider Duke P pickup Yamaha SB500S - temporarily repaired, therefore modded with a Tonerider Duke J pickup in the bridge position Cort Curbow - modded - Bartolini USA MK4CBC pickup, series/single/parallel switch, Glockenklang 3 band EQ Epiphone Mike Dirnt G-3 - unmodded Ibanez ATK200 - modded - Warman MM4 pickup Don't be shy, noise me up. Otherwise I'll just take whatever I fancy out of this lot, and I will likely favour things which weren't there last year. Probably shouldn't take 16 basses with me lest it become a case of "I'll have this hall, where are all the rest of you going?" Cheers!

    I’ve succumbed to the hype and ordered one! Currently running a Capo into a Noble on my board, thinking this might replace the Noble. I love the saturation of the Capo with the added mojo of the Noble, but having a second input at the end of the chain would be very useful being as I am on synth bass on every gig too. Currently have to carry a separate DI and use two channels, be easier to just have it all on one DI for gigs we are mixing ourselves. Be very interested to see what you think vs the Noble Paddy.
  9. Brother Jones started following Vox White Shadow - fretless bass (70/80s)

    The first time I ever actually saw a bass in the flesh in 1983 it was one of these (might even have been this one). Slightly early Overwater vibe. Lovely!

    When I sold my MB58R 102 cab the chap came round with the MB CMD121 combo and connected my cab to it. Without it sounded boxy and not much low bass. With my cab it was deeper, fuller and of course louder. Massive improvement

    Well sometime later I’m 100% playing with a pick and still prefer the triangle shape pick and tend to use the Dunlop “ Flex” series in 1.0mm The magic for me playing with a pick = good amp and compressor, cab with 12” speakers, PBass and mids slightly scooped in EQ The Flex series has a warmer tone compared to Ultex or Tortex pics but not as soft as nylon

    Hi Steve. I tried an 845 once when it was still in production but it had the BH2 Barts which really wasn’t my thing but,what's interesting is the replacement 945 has Nordstrand Big Single pickups which IS my thing. I'm wondering if the sheer body size along with the longer scale length and possible marketing towards the metal genre has made them somewhat niche 🤔 Don't rule out the 705 however as in my experience it almost played itself and sounded good doing it. I've noticed Ibanez have removed the 705 from their website now.

    selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

    Hi All, A lot of great advice here. If only the rest of the internet was as helpful! The Mini CMD 121 does look like the pragmatic option, but it is lacking the "I want one!" factor. Also, my first gig (1989!) was with a 12in combo that sounded decidedly muffled, so I used 15in's after that when I was still gigging. I'm going to have a think (I'm not in a rush), and if I buy one I'll let you guys know what I think of it. Thanks again.

    Bargain for a cracking (and tiny), simple compressor. Glwts

    Go Vest (very appropriate for their We Close Our Eyes video).

    Yeah, realistically just buying a TC electronic 208 and a Gnome head would get similar results for half the cash.
  23. Gwanso started following Warwick Custom Shop Left-Handed 2010 CO Corvette, NT, 4-string, - Wax
  24. Gwanso
    Priced to sell. Mint, case, documents. No trades. Up for sale is 2010 Limited Edition Left Handed Warwick Corvette. A stunning example. Excellent & in mint condition. One previous owner, who appeared to have hardly played it. I purchased it in c.2018/19 and have only played it a handful of times. It has lived 99% of its time in the case. I am a guitarist and occasionally dip into bass - I thought I would play more but life got in the way. And that is not to even open up my journey into left-handed guitar playing - I am a lefty who has played righty since aged 12. For various reasons, I went all out for a few years and taught myself to play lefty. This purchase was part of that journey. Long story short my "experiment" failed and I have resorted to playing right-handed again. Hence, sadly, selling this wonderful instrument. Neck, set up, action, playability, feel are all superb. And sound versatility, wow! There are just loads of options. This is a real example of beautiful luthier workmanship with absolute top tier materials and hardware. Lovely to hold and play sitting or standing. A real eye catcher! Condition is as photohraphed. I have tried to detail every angle. All electronics work 100%. Blurb / Description. It was constructed with light weight Ash body topped with nicely figured Ziricote and 4 pcs maple + Ekanga veneer neck thru body module with maple fingerboard and block inlays. The overall weight is less than 10 pounds. The neck profile is relatively slim when comparing to other Warwick makes this limited corvette more enjoyable to play. Warwick described this Ltd edition Corvette as “it has Fender Jazz written all over it”. It sports a pair of twin single-coil J-style pickups, two 3-way coil selection mini-toggles (single/humbucker/parallel), active MEC electronic (which can be bypassed via the push/pull volume knob), master volume, pickup balance knob, 3 band EQ that boost or cut the treble, mid and bass. This is one of the most versatile bass designed by Warwick. Other features: Just-a-nut III, Strap locks, COA, Warwick care kit and a non-original hard case that fits the bass like a glove. Warwick only made 300 of this worldwide including both 4- and 5- stringers. This is #121 and was engraved by laser at the back of the headstock. To make it even more collectible, this bass was hand signed by the president of Warwick, Hans-Peter Wilfer. Grab this before someone does!!!

    Sticking it on the fridge at the end was very amusing. However, as mentioned above, totally bonkers.

    what are you playing atm? do you have or have you tried any 33" scale bass ? (not many at retailers i can guess) , I've played/owned and built a lot of basses and guitars and for me it's down to pickup/placement and strings + your own technique (unless your playing an acoustic instrument (again strings+technique are a big part of any of that sound) I find the "ToneWoods" methos is used by folk who want to charge you a lot or so people can justify why they spent a lot ..... come at me bro

    I didn’t think his production line actually built the engines or any of the other parts of the car.
  30. police squad started following Harley Benton flats - they're a bit good!
  31. police squad
    actually all their own brand strings are dirt cheaper guitar sets from £1.30!! change them every gig at that price but I've recently bought 50 sets from a closing down JHS so I'm done for strings now might try a set of these flats though
  32. Bernmeister started following SWR SM500 and Gallien Kreuger 210 MBE
  33. Bernmeister
    Both of these items are awesome sounding. Glwts, I can’t imagine these items being around for long.
