    I think this is the best way to look at things. What’s the budget?

    For Sale, my as new Sandberg California VT in shell pink. This bass was purchased a few weeks ago and is stunning in every respect. I have changed the strings for Labella Low Tension flats which sound fabulous if you like that old school vintage sound. Whilst I haven’t got scales I can assure you this bass is exceptionally light. I guess it’s around 8lbs, maybe even a little lighter. Bass Direct have one in stock at the moment which is almost identical at a little under £2200 and under 8lbs in weight. I have never really been taken with aged looks but this is very subtle indeed, the description ‘soft aged’ is very apt in this case. You may wonder why I am selling this wonderful instrument. Well I am a casual player and already have a custom Alpher bass and clearly having two high quality basses is overkill in my situation. I have no interest in collecting so I have decided to let this one go even though it is only around 6 weeks old. If you like this type of look and want a virtually brand new instrument for a substantial reduction on the new price please get in touch. The bass comes with a quality gig bag but unfortunately I have no box to ship it in so it will have to be a meet up or collection to hand the bass over in person. If you have any questions please do let me know. Thanks for looking.

  8. HeadlessBassist
    Also, check the E-string doesn't have too many windings on the tuner shaft. Just two or three winds will ensure that the string is suitably pushed down on the shaft. That can make a huge difference to the sound. Failing that, try (as others have said) a lighter gauge string. Sometimes a slightly lighter gauge will give you more tension. My Nate Mendel Precision is on my usual Elixir 40-95 set and it has massive punch and bottom end definition, but a lot of that comes from the nitro/ash/SD Quarter Pounder combination.

    I saw the trailer for Spinal Tap 2 yesterday. I *really* want to like it, and it definitely has a few funny parts. I'm fairly certain that it won't be good though. I hope to be proven wrong.

    A lot of cool entries this month! Seems to be a proggy trend, that's good in my book!

  14. Bassassin started following Nuts arn't just for Christmas
  15. Bassassin
    Logically, a brass, or other metal nut would seem to make sense for tonal consistency, unless your frets are either plastic or bone. But then - I don't understand why every bass or guitar doesn't have a zero-fret, and the nut simply acts as a string guide. I suspect tradition is the answer, and is also why bits of dead animal still get glued onto stringed instruments.

    Is it just me seeing a lot of broken links? Edit: as you were, it is just me! Seems to have resolved itself!

    That’s a good point. Aside from Sire, I always found that the pickups on cheaper basses lacked depth (bass frequencies) in their pickups. The originator of Sire was an electrician/ engineer, much like the founder of Markbass. My MIM P bass had American standard pups but I improved it a lot by swapping them for Lindy Fralin

    Hi, I'm looking to raise some cash at the moment, so not really interested in trades. Thanks 👍🏻

    Yeah I've got Hx Native and used to have a Stomp. Helix is good, but it's just not fun for me.

    I bought an Ashdown cab off Alex. Absolute credit to Basschat. Couldn’t have been more helpful - even dropped the cab off at a friend’s house near a gig he was playing, which saved me a couple of hours of driving. Thanks again Alex

    Shipping should be possible as I'm getting a new cab in a couple of weeks so I can recycle the packaging from that.
  31. Silky999
    Arrr thanks very much for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and I’m looking forward to working with you on your next idea!!!

    Nope, just the single speaker
  33. Dan Dare
    I've had several PMs asking me to post this. I'm sorry, but I have no suitable carton/box. It's a quality, US built cab in very good condition for a very good price and I don't want the hassle of sorting out a box, arranging postage, worrying about whether it will arrive in one piece, etc. If it doesn't sell, it won't be the end of the world. Thanks for your understanding.

    I'm sure a lot of you have followed the progress of our very own @Silky999's Build Diary of the 'Nitro Cellulose Experiment' Jazz Bass. Well, while on my travels for a theatre gig in Torquay yesterday, I visited Silky999 and picked this up. With so many conversations these days of basses being prohibitively expensive, this is perhaps a different route to a really nice instrument. Now complete, this nitro finish bass is a lot more than the sum of it's parts. The Nitro finish really lets the bass speak and it really does have a voice of it's own. I'd personally rate it much higher playing-wise than a Mexican Fender, and sound wise, it'd give my American Original a run for it's money. Don't expect these to be around the £300 (cost of parts) mark for long!

    The only thing cheap basses don't always do well is pickups. Cheap pickups will make any bass sound less than perfect.

    With advent of CNC machines quality of cheap basses has gone through the roof. The QC that Asian manufacturers achieve is down to the contract and how much the brand owner cares about quality.
