malbass started following Shadow Pick Up SH950 & Fishnan Pro-eq Platinum Bass Preamp

Shadow SH950 pick up - used but great condition, not the fanciest of pick ups but I’ve enjoyed the sound I get from it. Surplus to requirements now I’ve sold my double bass. £50 + £5 P&P Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum Bass Preamp - also used and good condition though the 9V power socket doesn’t work so well, probably repairable but I just used a 9V battery instead which worked fine and lasted for ages. £60 + £5 P&P

For Sale/Trade: Sadowsky Metroexpress Modern 24 5 String Bass
Josh posted a topic in Basses For Sale
Hey Guys, I’m not 100% sure that I want to move this on, but I’m finding myself using my other bass a bit more often lately and this is sat being unplayed. I’ve owned this from new when they became available on Thomann earlier this year. It had a couple of high frets which were quickly professionally seen to by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair. Other than that, the bass is in great condition and currently strung up with a fresh set of DR High Beams. All specs and info can be found here: https://www.thomann.co.uk/sadowsky_metroexpress_24_5_modern_ma_ss.htm Some videos of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH60nsVOcnq/?igsh=MXUzc2Q2Z3Zpdnp2eg== https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF3uTZ3NBr0/?igsh=MWJvd2FmM2VkdDc3ZQ== This bass comes with Sadowsky strap locks and a padded deluxe Sadowsky gig bag which is in great condition as well. I’d be interested in a possible trade for either: Spector Euro 5 String Musicman/Sterling Stingray 2EQ 4 String Lakland 55-60 5 String Warwick Streamer 5 String I have a Squier Classic Vibe 60’s jazz bass (Older model) that I could include as well for the right deal also. I have a box and can post at the buyers expense, otherwise this is can be collected from Bridgwater, Somerset. Thanks, Josh. -
Ref the OP, I did the same thing myself a few years ago. Only minor difference was at the break I made my position clear that if they didn't turn down then I was on my way. They did, thankfully, but I still left the band the next day.

We did one, where the head lining band provided the PA and sound engineer. It was so loud I did the gig with my 19dB ACS IEMs and 30dB ear defenders over top. That was the last gig I did with that band. When the headliners came on they turned the levels up, and even outside the venue it was too loud to not have hearing protection. Me at the gig, looking p***ed...

My favourite beef with the whole flippin scene.. Im totally with you. My 2nd to ever last gig was a dep with a Sixties tribute type thing.. Beatles, CSN, etc etc. I had my suspicions about the volume so took my purple -30 industrial plugs but it was borderline... "Im outta here" I stuck it out and then told them, 'no thanks'. Pity cause they were very good, but two guitars and keys blasting out of a trio of 100w Twin Reverbs with five part harmonies? One of the loudest gigs Ive ever done. Awful.

My memory of these is they pack a huge punch

Another vote for LFSys here. I swapped two Barefaced One10s for a single LFSys Monza, the 1x10 cab, and it absolutely spanks them in my opinion. As you brought up, the One10s are too vintagey voiced in my opinion, but they don't pretend to be anything else so that's fair enough. If you want an open and accurate cab, with bags of power, I'd definitely check out a Monza.

A lot depends on their positioning - they seem less 'closed' if they can be set a little away from a wall. That said, I often don't have the speaker directly in contact with the floor - I often lift up onto a case / wedge.

Most kind thanks! How "open" do the GRs sound? (As opposed to "closed"/boxy)

I've been saying pretty much the same thing since the day I bought one...one of the smoothest, easy-to-play Precision necks I've ever played, very responsive tone control...better than quite a few of the current Fenders. Looks great with the gold anodized pickguard, too. Absolutely no need to buy any other P bass.

Bassgear 🥲 Salt of the earth blokes running it. Brands you couldn’t get anywhere else. Interesting secondhand selection. No horrible salesman pressure to buy anything.
-
It all looks good and I like that colour combo but for me I couldn’t get on with that body rout , but I suppose that’s reflected in the price , I’ve been looking at a lot of 60s precisions lately and they have gone up considerably
-
I had a 5 string EBMM Sterling with the single H which is what some say the ceramic SR5 always was. Anyway I'm still scratching my head over why I got rid of it as I preferred the smaller body and more traditional looking oval plate. They rarely pop up for sale these days.
-
Agreed - my 2-band 1995 Stingray is a monster. I guess that's really the proper original Stingray sound.

On the videos I've seen you can clearly hear everything FOH at our Opera set. Obviously the phones have a built in hi-pass which will help with the old "Subs go brrrr" problem. For us it seemed like the stage crew couldn't be arsed. The monitor guy didn't turn up until 3:06 and we were due on at 3:05, which I think tells you all you need to know The acoustic stage is always a nightmare for sound, or at least it is since they moved it upstairs. I just get on with it. The guy running the stage is such a weird funny old punk, it's worth doing the gig just to have a good/bad natured argument with him back stage 😂
