We saw one a few years back called Oasish, they had the whole Schtick down perfect, muddy wall of sound, no charisma between them, gormless looking front man..they were spot on! 😁3 points

Full on - and take care of any EQ from amp or DAW. With a passive bass you really want all the output the pickup has to offer.3 points

Never thought I would do it, but my aluminium addiction is getting worse and I have decided to part with my Sandberg VM5. I have ordered and got it from Sandberg in 2013, but I have switched to 4 strings soon after. It sounds great and has won most of the blind tests among my other basses. Mint condition (always wanted to make this joke). But seriously, it has some slight sights of use and has absolutely no functional problems. Now for specs: Alder Body Maple with rosewood fingerboard neck and matched headstock NO INLAYS (has block decales now) 35" scale Sandberg pickups with 2 active/passive preamp with bridge coils split Comes with original gigbag ~4.5kg on bathroom scales Actually has no neck inlays - blocks on the photos are only stickers, happy to take them off if you want to. 1100 1000 GBP. Based in London, but can organise a courier at buyers expense.2 points -
For sale: My 1978/1979 Pre Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray, great pro instrument in good condition, transition model; body and neck dates 1979, pre 79 bridge and serialnumber. Epoxy preamp. pots dats 77 and 78. Frets are in very good condition, truss rod works fine. The playability and sound are really fantastic. Weight is 4,3 kg, so relatively light. Generic hardcase included. £2000 Pricedrop £1875 WITHDRAWN2 points -
Just got and fitted a lovely new Electro Harmonix valve from our friends at Watford Valves, as recommended by Derek as an early breakup valve. In short it sounds fantastic in my Trace. With the valve pre set to full, the gain at 9 and the low compression at half, it gives me that tiny bump of breakup at the edge of every plucked note. Been pursuing that tone for so many years and have finally got it.2 points

Hi guys We've dealt with this character before. He always uses 'Gear' at the beginning of his username and joins from a Nigerian based IP (we've now banned access from all Nigerian IPs) but now he's found out how to use a VPN it seems. I'm going to add a warning about scammers in the wanted forum as it seems this is always how he contacts people. At the weekend Rik and I are doing some work on the forum and one job will be to flush this idiot away once and for all. Sorry about that chaps ped2 points

If you'd read my post right at the beginning of this thread you'd know that the three bolt micro-tilt system was dropped because Fender's engineering practices and quality control did not allow the mechanism to be installed in such a way that let it to operate as intended without any unwanted side effects. If the neck pocket and heel of the neck have been machined properly a single bolt would be all that is required. It the mating surfaces are flat so that there is 100% contact and the neck is a snug fit in the pocket, the bolt is only there to hold the two parts together when under the tension of the strings and even then much of the force exerted on the joint will be tending to pull the neck tighter into the pocket. The bolt is only there counteract the lifting action of the string pull.2 points

I played guitar for 30 years and have been playing bass for about 15 years and have never got it. I've had lessons. Read books. Gone online. Bought 'better' basses. I'm still a root, 5th octave player who throws in a pentatonic every now and then. I think the understanding music part of the brain is related to language and maths, and I (even though I'm 1/2 'foreign') can hardly speak a word of another language and had extra maths every Saturday morning throughout my school days (I'm not bad now, but I'm not a natural). But, I play in two bands. We get paid gigs and I'm complemented on my playing by the rest of the band (though of course, they could be sh*t too and just don't recognise if I'm good or bad). Learn as much as you can, if you can, but don't let it get in the way of enjoying playing.2 points

1000£ Reluctantly putting up my beloved Marleaux Votan for sale. The best bass I've ever played. Only selling because im a Jazz-bass man with small hands and sausage-fingers and the Votan is a bass for real men. Absolutely even fretboard with zero dead-spots and it can sound P-bass, MM or Jazz on steroids. Mint condition. Only been used on a few live shows but mostly in my home. Two small dings in the wood. But at least one i think is a natural one in the wood. I'm based in Sweden. I will answer any further questions in PM. Can provide YouTube-links and sound-samples. 2012 build, im the only owner. Comes with a gig-bag and i can ship if it's required. http://www.marleaux-bass.com/marleaux-bass_votan.html1 point -

It’s because they are all playing fantastic home made bases instead of practicing footy. The Koreans on the other hand, well their guitars are not as good hence they play footy instead1 point

Yes, we supported them at the Thekla in Brizzle a couple of months back. They were fantastic. (Playing at the Thekla was a tick off the bucket list too ) EDIT: here's a dreadful pic I took from our privileged AAA position.1 point

Punter came up and handed me a slip of paper once, with a request on it. At the end of the song, I announced "We've had a request from one of you lovely people, it's for a song called...", I unfolded the paper and read, "...'youre crap, pack up and fk off'..." Nah, not really. But it's only a matter of time till it does happen.1 point

At the end of the day it's just a box you stomp on with your dirty boot :) Here are another two older boxes. Full freq Rangamaster with high gain CV3007 (mil spec OC44), so it gets dirty from the start. Of course it works great with tube amps, but it gives new life to solid state amps, imo. As it has beautiful high end zing I used to set the amps flat, with just a booster on as my main "eq/preamp". I am a huge fan of germanium FF, but even well tuned FF might be too much on bass. So I used old clean up trick. The whole FF magic lies in guitar volume knob, but I don't see any bassplayer willing to actually use it. So I put pregain instad of fuzz control (which is fixed at max). It sounds like this: https://bitchcraftband.bandcamp.com/ My mate used Rick into Hiwatt, with FF in between, to record all basslines.1 point

Don’t worry - I will if it doesn’t sell - ad paid for so I’ll leave it up, but I have no real need to sell this apart from the fact that it’s not getting the use it deserves.... I’d rather hang onto it than give it away... :-;1 point -

Up for sale my Sandberg Basic TM4. According to the serial number the bass was made in Germany in 2008. It is an excellent bass but I need funds to cure a serious GAS attack, so off it goes.

Maple neck (quartersawn, see pics) with a rosewood fretboard, 24 frets no front markers Delano Pickups J+MM Active 2-way Sandberg electronics Vol (push/pull A/P), Bal, Tre, Bass, switch to split the MM pickup. The bass is in excellent conditions, it only has a small ding at the edge of the fretboard at the 16th fret (G side – see pic) which cannot be felt while playing. Some dings at the tip of the headstock. Everything else is in perfect working order. 660 630 600 £535 ONO – insured and trackable shipping within EU included in the price.
