I bought the first ones. Dimensions looked right but they don’t fit. Only £6 so no biggie. Does anyone know if Fender actually majestic and sell them?

What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?
Russ replied to Supernaut's topic in General Discussion
EBMM are coming out with a new line of Stingrays that sit above the Sterling ones but below the regular US-made range a bit later this year, not a million miles away from what they did with the SUB basses back in the day, but without the Hammerite finishes. They're supposed to be somewhat cheaper than the regular US-built range. -
Use any mic you want to - bigger dynamic mics look great - but please don’t plug it in. The chances of improving your sound by mixing it with a DI are slim and the likelihood of making it sound worse are considerable 🙀

I used to have a fretted Aria like this but with an oval sound hole instead of the f holes. Big thick body. Sounded marvellous unplugged. Now have GAS for one of these fretless jobs… 😁

Black is cool, Henry Ford got it right 👍

Status Basses are not taking any new orders for now
Russ replied to joe_geezer's topic in Bass Guitars
They'd attracted a lot of business from younger players in recent years who wanted the Chris Wolstenholme or Alex Venturella sound - Alex was supposed to be getting a new signature model based on the B-2 shape before Rob shut things down. He was playing a prototype during the last couple of Slipknot tours. -

I don't know the physics behind it, but for me a tapered string is much richer in harmonic content, which I suspect is because it has a much cleaner break over the witness point on the bridge. It'll otherwise have exactly the same, more or less, low end as any other string of the same gauge. At the end of the day, all strings are a thin core with wire wrapped around it, with tapered ends. I like both, depending on the bass. My stingray loves a tapered B, my Alpher doesn't. No idea why! -
I got the Fender gen 4 noiseless set. I’m really pleased with them. I had to go humbucking as one of the places I play most has an hearing induction loop and the single coils pick it up very well. -
Mods, would this post be better off in Repairs & Technical? I'll respond to the post tomorrow. I've rescued 6 of these so can add a bit of value.

Sadly selling this ridiculously beautiful precision bass solely because of my tiny hands. Can't get on with the neck at all, I'm more of a jazz/jag neck guy so it's time for this to go. It's in absolutely great condition for its age, with only the one wee ding in image number 9. Recently had a setup with my main man Alec, and it's strung with flats. Obv. 🤣 Comes in a Fender gig bag as pictured. Not really looking for a trade as I'm intending to finally get an ACG, or a short scale Rickenbacker. Welcome to try it out, and PM me about meeting halfway somewhere. Based in the South of Scotland in Dumfries.-

Is this Meridian Vimana bass still available? Do you ship to outside of Europe? -
I bet the bloke with the spiky hair was someone famous you didn't recognise. I was once negotiating a purchase at a music shop and Ronnie Size walked in. In an instant it was as if I became invisible and inaudible. I think the staff were all deeply in love with Ronnie.

Lol - I’ve always fancied a Stingray, but they have always been just that bit too expensive for my tastes. -
I bought a Fender MIM p bass from David - a more perfect seller there is not; comms brilliant, packaging virtually bulletproof, and the bass itself far exceeds any expectations, a very happy Basschatter over here! Please do not hesitate to deal with in absolute confidence. Thank you David!

I really like that… tempted!

Back up for sale as it’s sat unused for too long, and I really fancy another JMJ Mustang 😎 -
I have never visited the store, I'm a little far. I have bought a few things from them over the years, mostly FX pedals/strings, but not many, because I often felt a bit 'meh' about their email communication. My last interaction (a few years ago) was just rude, I felt, and I never went back. But... credit where it's due. I have observed this thread with interest, and it does look like they are addressing many of the complaints. This weekend I was looking at buying a set of "Thunderbrown" strings for my little 23" GoldTone bass... and there weren't in stock in most places. BUT... Bass Direct had 1 set in stock, the website indicated. So I decided to give it a go. I placed the order on Sunday, and I received them today, around 48h later (despite ordering on a Sunday!). I got emails confirming the order, confirming dispatch, and even tracking information... for a measly set of strings. I'm impressed. @Bass Direct I am very glad to see how you've improved the online side of the business. Thank you!

Much appreciated! -
I also liked my full fat version TC Spark Booster. I'd like to try the Ampeg Scramber at some point as well.

Well, that was an interesting journey. Thank you all who walked with me. As is the BC way, I got sucked into a vortex and managed to borrow 3 sets of monitors, topping out at a £2.6K pair. Once everything was Sonorworks'd it seems that my old HiFi B&W boxes are (for my purposes), just fine and dandy. Were the £2.6K boxes nicer? Yes, of course they were. Significantly better in a way that changed everything from black and white into colour? No. So there we have it.

For sale is my mint condition Special Edition Walrus Audio Slo multi texture reverb pedal. This is a beautiful clean reverb pedal with a host of multi functionality and settings to create some wonderful effects. It has three modes, Dark, Rise and Dream, all capable of creating unique and atmospheric sounds. Dark adds a lower octave to your reverb trail. Rise is an auto-swell, slowly lifting the effect through the frequencies and Dream is closer to your classic latching pad reverb with atmospheric tones and vibrato. It also has the ability to sustain to create a trail along with 3 waveforms to choose from. The feature I used mostly is the rising swell where you play a note with the pedal pressed and it fades in and just keeps building and swelling until you take your foot off the pedal. Sounds amazing when used with an octave pedal and can sound very orchestral like a cello. The pedal is in mint condition and comes complete with instructions, eye candy and box. Price is £110 which includes postage and collection from Camberley is available.
