    I must admit that uniquely amoung basses that I have used, the detuned E seems a bit too loose on the ric, which is a pain as they have such odd specific sizes (which it didn't have when I got it, it had 100-80-60-40, which didn't fit well), and I think the E is snug enough that I doubt I could get a wider string in there.

    I'm revisiting my Battalion after a little time away from it, and discovered the internal trim pot for the compressor. It was adding heaps of gain before but I'm happier now I've tamed it.

    i disagree. I have a lot of guitar pres (and full amps) that deliver a very nice bit of clipping with preamp tubes alone. Every tried an Orange AD30? But sadly most of the guitar pres are all oriented towards high gain applications. I have a few of them. The answer may lie in a tube pre aimed at mics so I'm busy researching those too (although they can be very expensive).

    @rainbowreality In terms of just finding high spots that might be causing buzzes, unless you do lots of string bends, the only place you need to check is along the actual string runs. For a 'quick and dirty' I check with the strings fitted and literally run the rocker alongside the strings at each fret triplet. If one rocks, I check on the other side of that same string and if that rocks too, note that position for attention. (Clearly this method doesn't work if frets are actually worn into a groove...)

    That kind of distortion you are after is the power amp distortion, or at least, that of phase inverter. It's impossible to get such one with preamp. You might like to give Origin Effects BassRIG Super Vintage a try.

    Looking forward to giving this a whirl at practice later. I mainly need a couple of drive options, but I just can't leave home without an octaver of some sort! Broughton BBA and a power bank underneath, but I'm most pleased to have found a new home for the broken watch I found on my desk!

    Hi all I've been running Ampeg SVT 4 and the related SVP Pro for a long time, both for guitars and basses, primarily in recording. BUT I can't get the SVT/P pre to break up, even with the gain on full using passive pickups. Yes, the SVP Pro has a "Drive" knob but honestly it sounds crappy and I suspect it's just diode clipping. I'm looking for natural tube clipping. I get annoyed using dirt pedals because they always fundamentally change the tonality of the sound. Are there rack tube pres that will break up a bit? I'm not looking for much, just some crunch. Never had the chance to try a Demeter, TBP-1, Aguilar etc. so I'm looking for recommendations. Thanks

    Thanks - that's the exact same one as I am using for gigs i.e. Fidus 12V 5A 60W centre positive PSU Interesting - was thinking of getting another Fidus to replace my home use PSU from another Chinese supplier, but this thread is a little worrying about their efficacy: CQ18T POWER SUPPLY DIED - CQ / CQ General Discussions - Allen & Heath Digital Community Forums

    Would likely take an interesting swap for this. I was hoping to use the money towards a short scale ACG, but also in the market for a Jazz, preferably a Flea signature in pink if there's any going round. Send me a PM, always up for a chat!

    To be more accurate, Musicman contracted CLF (yes, also a Leo Fender company) to manufacture the instruments - there ensued a dispute as Musicman rejected a lot of instruments, some of which were refinished by CLF before they were deemed acceptable - the final straw was the manufacture of a batch of Stingray necks incorrectly with inoperable truss rods. After that Musicman transferred the manufacture to Charvel, and the quality improved significantly. When Ernie Ball took over they improved some elements (for example pick up winding) to improve consistency of product and thus quality. However Pre EB basses are pretty consistent and certainly compared with comparable Fenders.

    I’d quite like to find My First EB Musicman Stingray Serial No. B03721. Manufactured Sep.10 1996 Listed as Sunburst Stingray Maple neck. 3 EQ Purchased new in September 1996, yep just a few days old, in Manny's Music, New York. I sold it a few years later on eBay to a lady in Scotland as a Christmas gift for her boyfriend. Ring any bells, anyone?

    Lovely Sadowsky Metroexpress 5 string for sale. I got this in trade last year from Josh of this parish and as lovely as it is the project I thought id use it on hasn't materialised and I never get on with 5 strings. Josh's advert below which i hope he doesn't mind me sharing again. Blurb from Thomann below: Sadowsky MetroExpress 24-5 Modern MA SS – Thomann UK https://share.google/Zy6PTRkrYTeyTEmm8 Advertised at the price I traded it for. Plays beautifully and is pretty much mint with a lovely Sadowsky gig bag tools and case candy and strap locks etc. Trials welcome at Downend in Bristol. I could post at buyers cost and risk but would much rather collection or meet up. I travel fairly often from Bristol to Hook in Hampshire or Solihull and occasionally to Sidcup so meets along M4 M5 or M25 South may be possible.

    I could never get on with the change in tension on the E string. Standard E string dropped to D was far too floppy for my tastes. A heavier E string that felt OK in D was too stiff when tuned to E. Since I switched to 5-strings for "normal" bass and don't need drop D on my Bass VIs I've been OK. I do have two guitars with different gauge E strings for standard tuning and drop D though. YMMV.
