    While the glue malarkey kafuffle was ongoing, I cracked on with the sides. First job, trim the kerfing back with a spokeshave. The best job in luthiery. It's like popping bubble wrap but much better The back is dome shaped, with a radius of 12 feet. So that same radius needs to be sanded into the sides & kerfing. Straightforward to do on the radius dish, even if it takes quite a while. Any time I'm doing sanding I try to do it inside my hi-tech sanding cubicle. A quick n easy downdraft table. Or sidedraft I suppose. Works a treat. Next I need to carve channels through the kerfing so that the braces sit nicely inside. I used a dremel, again in my sidedraft cubicle. (I must get that patented, pronto). The idea being that the ends of the braces go into the kerfing, like this: The gaps will get filled with epoxy when the back gets glued onto the sides. And here they are, not glued yet as there's another job to do first......(ooh mysterious!)

    Well as your gear is Ashdown a solution could be their RM500 with the footswitch that adds in the valve drive and the sub harmoniser. Just adding a touch on each would add in nicely to the sound without any drastic changes.

    Musicman Stingray 4 string 3 eq in excellent condition. Barely a mark on it especially considering it dates from 1993. Strung with Ernie Ball Cobalt flats and included is a set of rounds cut for a Stingray. Fitted with black pickguard and black pickup cover and also comes with white options too. This bass is standard apart from a gloss vintage tint lacquered neck and refret that was done by John Shuker. weight is just under 9.5 lbs (4.29 Kg) Comes with Musicman case. I’m based in Pinner, close to Pinner Tube. Price is £1,100 and I’m not looking for any trades. i can courier for £20. More info from previous owner Horizontalste’s ad:

    I visited the store about three weeks ago after seeing a bass on their website I fancied trying (a ‘79 Gibson Thunderbird). I telephoned in the morning and was over there a short while afterwards as I’m only about half-hour’s drive away. The guy I dealt with couldn’t have been nicer. The Thunderbird didn’t really work for me, but I stuck around and had a plonk on some of the other basses he had - there was a short scale Japanese Jazz Bass that was cool, and not something I’d seen before, along with a host of other interesting pieces - and also had a good old natter into the bargain. All in all, it was a positive and enjoyable experience…

    Stage left for me too, even when I'm down the front. I find it easier to watch the drummer out of the corner of my right eye. Though I guess it might be the other way round if I was left-handed.

    Hey all, just bought Nigel’s compressor pedal. Great process, questions answered promptly and very well packaged and quickly sent (one of the fastest BC transactions from start to finish I think). Wouldn’t hesitate to deal with again, Great BCer 👍🏻

    Thanks JPJ, a very good suggestion! But the mixing pot was the same. There's something odd about the hardener. It's got a skin on the top which I've never seen before, despite years of using exactly the same epoxy. Anyway, it's in the bin and new ordered.

    8lbs - nice and light and yes it’s a cracker

    There's the Fishman Fission? Gives octave up, forth below and 5th above. Very lightly dialed in might be worth a thought? https://youtu.be/I2XKZNMR2Pc?si=Nru8jA1-zZ2A1wxi

    Yep, you wont do better than a hercules, but I'd avoid that model - the little support is always ending up inbthe wrong place. I have one in my practice spot. For gigs I have two of the ones where the bodyrests against two padded legs. Much better.

    Next to the snare.

    There's too much mild dislike in this thread for my tastes. Death to all Jazz basses!
  21. Stub Mandrel
    Fretless basses with dot markers on the side of the neck where they would be on a fretted bass.

    Thanks, Franz. Exactly, no matter what you do, it sounds glorious. A passive Precision into a compressor into this was my go-to setup for wedding gigs for years. If that were still my bread and butter, this'd be staying.

    Offered in excellent, 8.5/10 condition are two examples of my favourite 112 cabs. I'll doubtless regret this, but the reality is they aren't getting used, as I'm opting for an 4x10 on the types of gigs I used to use these on. These come complete with official Bergantino covers, in tatty but serviceable condition. The details and specs for these cabinets can be found on the Bergantino website, here. I'll entertain shipping these, but it'll require my finding big enough boxes; I imagine the quote'll be somewhat expensive. Collection, from Ipswich, is preferred, but I may be persuaded to deliver if you aren't too far away. £400 each.

    I don't expect these to sell, and to be honest I won't be disappointed if they don't. Offered here are two CSM 12s, made by the fine folk at QSC. These are, without hyperbole, the finest speakers I have ever used. If I had roadies, I would use these on every gig, the clarity, range, volume and fidelity are all *chef's kiss*. They're currently permanently installed in my practice room, as they are heavier than the sun and I can no longer face shifting them to and from gigs. The reality is, they're overkill for me now, and their current use is a ridiculous indulgence; if they sell, the funds will be used to replace them with something lighter. I'm also offering the QSC GXD4 that I use to power them; it's not the perfect power amp for the job, but it's been more than powerful enough for my needs. It comes housed in a flight case. The details for the wedges can be found on the QSC website, here. The details for the power amp can be found on the QSC website, here. I'm happy to sell the monitors individually at £600 each, but I'll be keeping the power amp if it doesn't sell with the monitors, as I have plenty of use for it. These are, for obvious reasons, collection only (Ipswich).

    That's why they don't work for me, sadly. I had the blue one. It was magnificent in every other way.
