    Hmmm...not the first time I've looked at this...even though I am without a Spector I really can't justify another bass. GLWTS

  4. HeadlessBassist
    Set your amp gain to desired level (before peaking), bass to about 1-2 o'clock (until it sounds rich and full), and treble to 2-3 o'clock. Mids all flat. If you find it's too scooped, add a tiny bit of lower mids to fill out the centre. That's the amp sorted. Now set the onboard preamp to just a smidge above centre on the treble and bass, then leave the mid control in the centre. That's how to get the best out of a Fender 18v preamp. An active P&J should have quite a thick, but slightly "plinky" sound, as the split coil and jazz pickup slightly cancel each other out. And yes, the standard Fender strings won't be helping the sound at all. I usually tear them straight off and replace them with Elixirs. They give a much cleaner and richer sound with more resonance. Failing all that, I'd have a look at the PJ set from Lollar. They've always been the best sounding replacement pickups to my ears.

    Same here. He's not a great drummer to start off with but that horrible plastic sound he consistantly gets on recordings just grates on me.

    Bought an effects pedal from Peter. He was a gent and a pleasure to deal with. Went above and beyond to post quickly and keep me updated.

    AD200 is the only valve amp I would consider...if I had a roadie...
  9. aniki started following Valve Amp - who’s still using them?
  10. aniki
    Yup. Either the Orange AD200 or Musicman HD150. As 'backups' I have an Orange OB1 and Ampeg SVT200. Why? Never played a class D amp that didn't sound like dog poo...
  11. Chienmortbb started following NBD - Fender American Vintage II Precision Bass - now with some subtle mods and Changing Pickups?
  12. Chienmortbb
    I agree but add Di Marzio's to the list. Great pickups and fully adjustable pole pieces.

    Bump with a slight price drop to £1550. Got a lot on at the moment, otherwise I'd have had time to pop this into the Bass Gallery for a commission sale. I'll be taking this down and making that visit ASAP, so anyone interested, please get in touch ASAP. I'm also taking away the option of the Hiscox case, as they're not going to be easily replaced now and I want to keep one. Sorry, but UK sales only I'm afraid.

    If anybody lets him know over the ouija board.

    £2500!!!!! Blimey! There'll need to be £2000 worth of £50 notes stuffed between the wood plys to get me to buy that! 😂 🤣 (And another £500 stuffed in both the neck cracks! 😂)

    Read up on it and we have been in contact with the ME Society currently on waiting list for the local ME Specialist team. But will take any advice - PM me

    Just the PSU left now. No box but I will include a mains plug USB adaptor plus a short micro USB cable to charge the PSU with. Here we have a used but not abused Rockboard Tres 3.0 pedalboard setup that, with the addition of the power supply and patchbay, means you are set up and ready to go. No need for mains power to the board, you just charge the power supply before the gig and you can enjoy hum-free pedals all night! I've never had any issues with this setup. The battery can do a two set gig with no issue. New, all of this would have been £200, so I think £125 posted is fair. Thanks for looking EDIT: Forgot to add proof of ownership to the pictures, but hopefully pages and pages of feedback (see link in signature) will confirm I am a legit seller!

    I picked this up from @Basilpea not that long ago. It's a great cab, but it isn't a cosmetic match to my other AT210, so being the fickle person I am I want to replace this... It's got some small dents from being gigged, but overall in good condition and absurdly light. You can pick it up with two fingers! It's also very loud. W52 x D33,5 x H57 cm 600 watts at 4 ohms 103dB SPL Also comes with GR Bass soft padded cover. GR say: The lightest 2×10 bass cabinet in the world. Thanks to its size, lightness, and power, the AT 210 is one of the most versatile cabinets in the entire catalog. Suitable for both small and large live shows, it allows you to always have your sound with you. With the AeroTech line, you can have the incredible innovation of our Carbon Fibre cabinets combined with the Pure Sound of GR, which is the pure sound of your instrument. Incredible sound, lightweight, power, impact resistance, and a beautiful modern design. I'm afraid this is collection only, as I don't have anything suitable to ship it in. No trades either thanks. I'm using @Basilpea's pictures, which I hope he's okay with.

    This amp is now £400 on Amazon. Incredible. I will drop the price for the amp, adapter, pedalboard and case to £500, which is still a good deal I think, but I really cannot go any lower. If it doesn't sell at this price I will just keep it as a spare.
  25. franzbassist
    This will shortly be going up as a commission sale, so if you are interested please do get in touch with me soon.

    I’ve always found them disappointingly bright but I guess I have the James Jameson sound in my head. You might think that rolling off the tone would get there but then you can’t hear the top string at all. I always ended up throwing money at them to try to improve the tone and never got there. Shorties seem to provide that tone much more easily. However, that’s just IMO. Agree about Maruszczyk prices; especially when you see what used examples sell for in the BC listings. I have an Elwood 4a 32” that I bought used and I could never afford to replace it with a new one now, if it got pinched.
  29. phsycoandy started following Vintage Mini Polytone S15B Bass Combo
  30. phsycoandy
    In decent order and full working condition, everything works as it should. A very capable vintage combo and more than loud enough for small and medium gigs. Has some paint specs on the Tolex and a little tear in the speaker cover at the top, see picture. 15" speaker and 2 tweeters. She sounds fabulous. Shipping £15 UK. £275

  33. WinterMute
    Finally getting round to updating the studio, I've been doing it piecemeal for years and the cabling has gotten scruffy, plus I need to move some rack units around to make room for some new kit. Having a new rack unit built to house the amps and storage, and adding 2 new units to the upper racks, an RND Master Buss Processor and an RND Master Buss Transformer, a second Shelford will eventually be added and the UAD X16 will go into the side rack. I foresee an extended period of cable wrangling in my immediate future...
