Danny Sapko discovers… (now including follow up vid that is worse!)
Dood replied to fretmeister's topic in General Discussion
To put it another way, my friend is a top-tier bassist who gets to play with one of the most famous bands in the world, but his follower numbers are absolutely dwarfed by pretty people who know how to put out for the camera. -

Originally planned to keep this bass longer, but things have changed. I am currently using it to record a product review where I have swapped out the pickups. When complete all the electronics will be returned to stock and the bass will be up for sale. Unfortunately the bass does have an issue which affects the price and therefore I am selling it more as parts than an “as new” example - despite it being in otherwise incredible condition. The truss rod is and has always been stuck. Thankfully, if you like a pretty flat neck, that’s where it is right now. Highlights: Roasted Neck, Nordstrand Pickups, Luminlay, Hipshot Tuners, Babicz FCH Bridge, Markbass preamp, ULTRA light bass, Bone nut, 22 Frets A great bass has just the right blend of timeless design and modernized features. The GB Modern bass is developed for the J-Bass enthusiasts with a surprisingly lightweight design for greater comfort and enhanced playability while reducing fatigue. Also featured are top tier visual and spec enhancements such as roasted maple neck and fretboard, Hipshot® Ultralite Tuners and Babicz® FCH4 Bridge to reduce the weight even further, and an ultimate tone combination of Nordstrand® Big Single Pickup Set paired with MarkBass® MB Instrument Pre preamp system.

rwillett started following Cheap wall hanger...

Looked at that and thought the same thing. Two screws and two levers each 200mm ish from wall and each with 4kg on the end. A lot of leverage for two screws to handle. No idea what wall it's connected to and how long the screws are but I'd be worried.

Not forgetting the CNC cutting machine!
-
Yeah, I am using templates for the body shape at the moment until I get my eye in. The curved edges are a 12.7mm round over router bit (no template) and I did the comfort cut by eye and hand with a Shinto and sanding. The comfort cut is not very pronounced as I quite like the more subtle less angled style I have P bass and Jazz bass templates so can do either. I’m not brave enough to try necks yet so will keep using the Chinese ones for the time being until I can get a radius jig, fretting cutting jig, truss rod jig etc. It’s all so bloody expensive! It does mean that I am not limited to pre cut bodies now so in theory can use any wood I can source.

NBD: Rare MIJ Late 60s Traditional II Jazz w/ Matching Headstock
wateroftyne replied to wateroftyne's topic in Bass Guitars
Apparently the 'current' version has an alder body. That said, although mine is supposed to be basswood, it's 9.4lbs so it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be alder. -

Congrats, Highfox. Looks lovely. I've been hanging my nose over these for a while. I trust it's suitably punchy?

Will upload pictures in a bit, one of the best compressor pedals on the market for features! It hasn’t been on a pedal board for a little while now and has Velcro on the bottom ready for its new home. https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=HE123 https://images.app.goo.gl/63gJJkCtEDRHVFio6 S/H one here for £120+p&p: https://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/tc-electronic-ndy-1-nova-dynamics-dual-compressor-and-noise-gate-effects-pedal-pre-owned.html NDY-1 Nova Dynamics Features FOUR compressor pedals and TWO Noisegate pedals in one unit, infinitely configureable! Dual Mono, Stereo, 4+ cable method, Serial mode. MANUAL: - https://service-tcgroup.tcelectronic.com/media/Nova_Dynamics_US.pdf [*]2 compressor modes: studio (multi-band 3 way) & stomp (full range) [*]Noise gates (frequency dependent) [*]Dual engine design [*]Dry blend – parallel compression (Perfect for bass players) [*]Flexible routing [*]Auto input gain adjustment [*]Precise gain reduction meter High quality dual engine compression and noise gate made stompbox simple. Packed with never before seen functionalities Nova Dynamics sets new standards to floor-based dynamics control. Its dual engine design offers a variety of setup and control options that allow you to tailor Nova Dynamics to fit your rig. Use the two engines for different compression settings or switch between stomp compression for that classic "squash" and TC's advanced multiband compression for subtle, studio-style dynamics control. You can even split the two engines in Nova Dynamics and have a compressor in front of your amp and noise gate in your amp effects loop for true noise reduction of high gain signals. The Dry Blend feature lets you blend your dry signal in with the compressed signal for optimized attack with no eating into the dynamics while the automatic input gain adjustment on both engines brings perfect settings for e.g. both a Strat and a Les Paul at the flick of a switch. £100 + £5 towards insured mainland shipping.

Uhm… 3 things left though…
-
I’m going to be out , just waiting to get the shipping costs and final bill. These have been on my radar for quite some time. This is the Korean reissue , improved tuners and set neck. Thumpy as all heck. I have too much stuff , but I’ve been looking at these for years. Finally will be getting one.

Must have been a very proud moment

Back in the 70’s I did 6/7 nights a week in pubs that were absolutely rammed with punters. Admittedly this was mostly in and round London and playing in a country band.

A two piece Swamp Ash body from a really nice straight grain length. This is one of two I shaped a while back but don’t think I’ll get around to working on both for a while. Another fretted bass I’ve made from the same wood stock sounds really good and sustains very well. £75 plus U.K. post The pictures also show the weight/dimensions and a mock up of a neck (not mine!) to give some representation of a final look.

Folding stand recommendations please
simonlittle replied to StingRayBoy42's topic in Accessories and Misc
I’ve seen a few guitarists using these K&M stands. I’m sure they could handle a bass… https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/KandM-17581-Heli-2-Electric-Guitar-Stand-Black/1YZ5?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22290702940&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLRlsHmsJiER70uSV0b6kZVO_&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnovFBhDnARIsAO4V7mC-U_GJ_w_DSSP58fTh0Q0ZFaAaMmQ0rX9uyswijgE3b_9k59j6gQ0aAtu7EALw_wcB- 1 reply
