    Jazz

    My 2 Jazz basses. The black one, is my Sire V7. It's a first generation and I can't remember how long I've had it. It was one of the very first ones made with a signed neckplate. I took the plate off and replaced it was a blank plate. The original lives in a box. I've used it a lot and apart from the neckplate I've done no modifications to it, I've never felt the need. The V7 has been my main bass since I bought it (I did have a Squier P bass as a back up). The 3 tone burst Jazz I bought recently from a fellow Basschatter. I love it. I wanted a passive Jazz with a classic look and this fits that bill. Don't let the Sire hear, but this is probably my main bass now.
  3. You're correct. All Broadnecks are German only.
  4. Hi Steve. It played effortlessly but I didn't plug it in as I was short for time and had a train to catch out of Southampton. It was light as well if that's an important factor. Nice thickish neck and wider string spacing (18mm at least) if that's what one likes.
  5. Confused! I thought you loved it! What changed your mind over the past month?
  6. I'm winding everything back now and having a clearcut of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM

  7. Clarky's legend persists, yet another flawless transaction, thanks dude!
  8. An SVT with a fridge is an absolute misery to cart around.
  9. Good question and I can’t remember what I did when I had a BH800, so I am no help there - but, you can edit TonePrint pedals - Spectracomp and HyperGravity I’ve edited many times to get the behaviours I want from them. I feel a bit sad for TC, they had an impressive roster of artists and were pushing the envelope of bass tech, then someone decided to pull the plug. Friends left the company and many of the products are long since discontinued. I really rate their compressors and at the time, their multi-effect processors were unrivalled. I bought a BH head for my daughter recently and I was reminded how good they sound.
  10. Well it had to happen in true Basschat GAS fashion I've sold the BR15. ☹️ There was nothing wrong with the Origin Effects BR15, it has a real old school sound that I ultimately didn't get on with. I put on the Rheingold BP-2 preamp with a United Vintage Di, my two favourite preamp / di combination. Now that's my sound.
  11. If this thread demonstrates anything, it is that there are too many bridges that require the strings to be threaded through rather than just be top loading. Threading strings through can damage coated / nylon tape strings and even scratch up others. It also takes longer. The only time I change a bridge is to get a top load / quick load option that avoids that threading nonsense. Hipshot do some vintage looking ones that have a top load system as well as more modern options. I swap strings for different genres so being able to put on and take off without damage or twisting is a big plus for me.
  12. Superb pedals these, if it wasnt xmas and all the associated skintness id have this off you
  13. Hello, Up for sale is this Sansamp Programmable. All in good working order. I'm asking £160 inc postage. It's a great sounding pedal, but a bit overkill for my needs now. With that in mind I'd consider a trade for a standard BDDI v2. Any questions, drop me a message. Cheers!

  14. String spacing again a bit narrow, but I'd forgotten Hohner - there's the B V (with body and head), Jack V (headless with body) and the B2AV (cricket bat headless) - the B2AV has a passive variant, the B2V, which IME doesn't sound as good.
  15. Many years ago I bought a Read Purity preamp and it sounded amazing. It’s not the tube sound people might think it has a clean more hi-fi type sound and I eventually gravitated to transformer based colouration. This for me is where it’s at. I still like tubes but transformer based colouration is what I’ve grown to appreciate.

    New amp

    Like buying a car, it would be helpful to know what you want from an amplifier. How will it fit your needs and anything that would be a hard-pass. What style(s) of music do you play? Do you favour all HiFi goodness? Completely flat and direct? Raunchy drive, metal or some old school Jack Bruce thump? If you’re looking for all of that then there’s also avenues to explore. Don’t forget also that the speaker cabinet makes a huge difference and battles have been lost either in performance or just taste because the signal chain didn’t play ball. What kit are you using? I’ll post my reviews playlist later, out of the hundreds of videos, there’s a good few amplifiers in there to check the specs of and find something you like.
  17. Are they rockbass or German Warwick? I didn’t think broad necks were an option for RB?
  18. I like the idea of the 200w combo. It could easily replaced my studio 110. UK-SBM-112-200 - Portable Power with a 12" Voice Delivering 200 watts through a Sica 12" speaker, this compact combo offers balanced tone and articulate response for rehearsal rooms, modest gig spaces, and home recording setups, while remaining easy to transport.
  19. That is sad news. Love to his family and friends. I hope they can take some comfort that he made a mark and made this place a slightly brighter place.
  20. I can include postage in the price 👍
