  1. Past hour
  2. Beautiful bass and an absolute bargain for a handmade British bass. If I had the funds it would be mine. My old French bass is strung with Chorda’s so bowing plain gut is proving a challenge though Paul Chambers, Major Holly, Slam Stewart and Edgar Meyer make a glorious sound their gut stringed instruments. (I had some lessons with Ben Wolfe and he told me Edgar played his Chorda strung bass and it sounded fantastic).
  3. Little update on mine. Cannot express how GOOD the OC-2 and OS sound going into some Chorus on the Quad Cortex, learning to love bass synth again 😁
  4. Might sound a bit daft but it could be the angle you're holding the bass at.... Try standing up with it hanging on a strap in a natural playing position. If you're tilting the bass various ways while you play to see where the buzz is coming from it can come and go. What's important is whether it buzzes when in a natural playing position. If it's new, and I know Jet has a good reputation but they are more towards the budget end, it possibly hasn't had the best set up out of the factory so it may need a proper set up. You can either do this yourself (watch loads of YouTube videos, Google, use this forum) or if you're not confident it find a local BC'er who may be kind enough to help
  5. Had a Radial ProDI for a while, mostly sat on a shelf since I got my Capo. Long story short, the pass through is fine but the XLR is completely dead. Not sure if it’s taken a bump or something but can’t see any obvious signs of damage, all looks fine inside. Any thoughts? Is it worth trying to get it fixed or should I just grab another?
  6. I have the new beta but the DLX is a legendary unit. It’s taking heaps of self control not to nab it. And I’m in Scotland 😭
  7. Bump - open to trades for Fender flavoured things.
  8. Well, you've all persuaded me. Will be ordering tomorrow. Has anyone got any kind of hard case for theirs?
  9. Nope, because it isn't a string through the body, the short scale will be fine. I've got one - enjoy it!
  10. I have been looking at these for ages, and have finally caved in, RM800 EVO II incoming. I have watched a number of reviews/videos and nothing has deterred me. I bought direct from Ashdown via their discount page. £475 for the 800 is pretty good I think. Rob

  15. My Alfawise U20 printer is driven by Octoprint through a very modest Raspberry Pi, connected by RJ45 to my Livebox. This enables me to watch a print in progress from my armchair, through a little webcam, also plugged into the Pi. I's very practical, as there's a flight of stairs to climb from our 'salon' to the 'den'; every effort saved is appreciated by my slovenly legs. It works very well as a system; I call up the Pi on my Chrome browser and watch. It's saved my bacon on several occasions when the printer started 'bird-nesting' for whatever reason.
  16. A friend of mine is an ex pro prog and death bassist who loves jaco. He was always trying to learn jaco covers. I think all great musicians have an appreciation for the very best who played their instrument. I could never get in to jaco but I was crap
  17. Working perfectly and no marks. I’m sure you don’t need a rundown of how class these are but any questions do feel free to ask. comes with a protective case, box, original power…. All the good stuff. I’m moving to an Hx stomp so if you happen to want to part ex one of those, an origin cali 76 or OC2 style octave then shoot me a message. cheers!

  19. Seymour Duncan Studio Bass absolutely top notch compressor. No box, Velcro on the base and a some chips but good condition. I always found compression a wee bit confusing until I got this, but that might just have been me 🤔
  20. I know he just toured with them for the first time in years. I think Josh Paul was playing with them before Rob came back. Hopefully they'll do some new material. Tye Trujillo, Rob's son, is also shaping up to be a very good bass player. He toured with Korn after Fieldy went on hiatus, played with Suicidal Tendencies after their bass player, Ra Diaz, went off to Korn to replace Fieldy on a more permanent basis, and has his own band. I think it's cool that they share a love and appreciation of Jaco despite coming from two different musical worlds - Marcus was talking about Jaco being his mentor and friend, and Rob made a documentary film about him and is the owner/custodian of the Bass Of Doom!
  21. Something to be aware of when setting up an Octoprint server (or anything connecting to the USB port) is that some motherboards on some Creality 3D printers put about 20V onto the 5V line. You need to check this before connecting anything, and if it's the case, modify a USB lead by cutting the 5V line before using it to connect.

    It’s worked in the past so I will give it a try and see. It can be a fine line between just right or too tight. I think the only way you’ll know is to build them all, surely? If it was me they’d all be in one massive box, maybe a horizontal filing cabinet! I think the Mf101 is quite a different sounding filter to the Mutron/Meatball, which have a lot of similarities. I believe the Meatball was a sort of modified mutron with more controls with the same core sound. In particular being able to adjust the attack and decay is probably the biggest difference, as well as a blend.
  23. ...and I've already made a newbie error, ordered strings from Newtone as recommended by you lot and ordered "short" when it needs "medium". Am I right? I emailed to ask them to hold until I'd confirmed
