    If you play at home quietly when the kids are asleep, a decent pair of headphones would be a good choice and no risk of waking the rest of the household if you get a little too enthusiastic.

    Tried these myself. Too heavy on the rest of the strings! I’d do 42 60 80 110 for drop C#/Dflat

    Hi The Levy’s goes from 955mm to 1300mm. You could get it even shorter by looping the tail through more holes. Hope that helps Thanks David

    Ah, I’m familiar with similar technical exercises. The point of doing them is just that, technique. Your bass has a very ‘medium’ neck on it and shouldn’t pose an issue. Focus on wrist position, hand placement etc. I actually wouldn’t really recommend these types of exercises for beginners. One octave scale pattern are probably sufficient for the time being. Very rarely when playing will you actually need to play 4th string above 12th. Occasionally but rarely.

    That's an amazingly positive review, thanks! For around £55 from Ali Express for a set of KZ ZARs, definitely looking like one of this year's best value investments for both of us!

    That was my initial impression, but I did gigs the last two saturdays with them and on those gigs, specifically the last gig, my in ear sound was the best I have had. In fact it was the best on stage sound I have had full stop and as a result I felt I played better because I was so into the sound I was getting. Obviously on the other threads as I said, the ME90b was also new which helped the sound it was making, but the sound in my ears was just really good, very full and much more rounded than I had before and some part of that has to be the earphones.

    This fantastic bitsa bass was purchased off a fellow Basschatter a number of months ago but I have further enhanced it as you will see below. For complete transparency, the original advert is linked below. Gunnar did a great job in the build but when I received it I decided to take a it a few notches up. Firstly the basic specs: 2023 Fender Precision American Original Neck, purchased from Thomann. Note these necks are manufactured true to the AO specs - this means in this instance the logos / decals are applied ON TOP of the lacquer finish on the neck. Also the truss rod is located at the heel of the neck. Custom Solderless P Bass harness, Alpha A250k solid shaft pots. Fender Pure Vintage '63 Precision Bass Pickups - these sound lovely btw, that true classic 60s Fender sound 2 Piece alder American alder body with custom nitro sunburst finish - note that due to the nitro finish the body has a few dings and wear on the body but these fit in very nicely with the overall aged look of the bass. There are no major dings / bumps / scrapes. Aged vintage tuners. Ash tray and pick up cover Since I took it the following has also been done: A full setup by one of Staffordshire's best. A brand new semi permanent shim has been added to the neck pocket to balance the neck out. The action was quite high, the old shim was removed and this new shim has brought it signincantly in line to a very playable low / medium action. A full truss rod adjustment with the new shim in place Internal cavities have been fully copper shielded with tape - this has virtually removed any buzz that was present (even with treble maxed out) Neck cavity screws have been replaced with official Fender screws Minor hardware adjustments including reseating the tuners and replacing pickguard screws with official Fender vintage Strings were replaced with Rotosound 105 nickels It's now in a position where it is a very playable bass. As you can see from the specs, the cost of the sum of the parts far outweighs the asking price and it now plays very much like a complete Fender. Wesight on the bathroom scales is 9 lbs. I will also supply the original pickup box which has the original brass base, this didn't fit this particular body so a different one was added, but I'll include the original. This also comes with a Gator hardcase as you can see in the pictures. I'm based just a few minutes from Junction 10 of the M6 (Walsall / Wolverhampton) and collection is preferred but I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance and maybe meet halfway. Happy for you to test it out on my practice amp at my place too. Potentially could mail this due to the hard case and I have a suitable box, but at a cost to you - lets have a chat about it via DM. Cheers.

    Stripped this bass body as I can't stand thick Poly. It's all ready for a light sanding and nitro refinish. If I can find my NW guitars daphne blue rattle can, I'll throw that in as well. Body is Classic Series MIM P BAss.

    Neil just bought a preamp from me, super easy transaction and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Neil

    @Woodinblack good to hear that, as I thought from your initial comment on May 1st the ZAR's hadn't been much of an upgrade over the ZS10s, but I may have been mis-reading your comment? As you'll have gathered from my own comments a few weeks back, I'm very much of the view that the ZARs are a noticeable step up in sound / listening experience over the ZS10s (and also over the Sennheiser 300 and Shure SE215 and 315 sets I previously had) and seems that there's a bit of a consensus starting to build on that from those of us who have tried them.

    That is annoying. It can be useful to have some songs ready to go if an extra song or two is needed, or just to vary the set a bit so you don't get bored.

    The fingerboard looks fantastic! Like a rosewood brownie!

    Its annoying when we learn a new song we just add it to the set rather than drop one out and keeping the sets approx 1hr each. Both my bands suffer from this issue. In a few yrs i'll be doing 4hr sets if things don't change. I've always thought 2 off 1hr sets is ideal. It leaves an audience wanting more. Too long they get bored. Dave

    Built this up a few years back using a Alder body from BooBoo guitars. The control rout is slightly off hence it was sold as a second. I sanded it down and finished it in Sunburst Nitro. It's an OK job. Makes for a great gigging bass. The neck is a American Performer neck that has the original tuners, but someone had put vintage tuners on it for some reason so I filled and refinished the back and went with the standard American Fender tuners. These necks have the carbon reinforcement rods for extra stability. GZR P bass pick ups and custom loom. Great gigging bass with quality components at a bargain price. Sounds and plays great. Comes with gig bag.

    Looks like it’s cracked - unfortunately common with these bridges.

    I played this bass at the recent NW bass bash. It's a really nice instrument and the neck is exceptional.
  29. Lozz196
    Was the same for me when I was in Knock Off, I always thought that a 30 - 40 min set was best, full-on and unrelenting.
