*On hold trade pending* 1995 Corvette Standard with bubinga body and wenge neck and fingerboard with bell brass frets. MEC dynamic correction J single coils with passive electronics (vol/pan/tone)2 piece Warwick bridge and the original brass just a nut with the individual threaded saddles as well as recessed straplocks. Bass comes with the Warwick rockbag and straplocks. The truss rod cover on the bass says Corvette Proline which I’m guessing is the wrong cover as this bass fits the spec of a standard. Wenge neck is in great condition and doesn’t have the volute at the neck where the neck meets the headstock. plays and sounds superb, been incredibly well looked after for its twenty six years Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton, Shropshire or can drive up to an hour to meet etc. Would post if buyer arranges their own courier, level of cover etc. £69510 points -

OK - we have a plan We're going for clear-finished maple for the neck and headstock back and sides and a colour-matched headstock front. The top one of the sample stripes is probably getting pretty close: That's white primer with clear varnish mixed with b****r-all yellow dye. The ivory-looking sample at the bottom is the same but two times b****r-all yellow dye. Tiny amount more makes a big, big difference. As it is a painted finish, the logo will be decal - I have a cunning plan for making the decal. I shall reveal my method if it works... The neck is ready for final sanding and so one last check with the side-by-side profile check. This is how I checked: The observant of you will spot the reason for doing the double check - the profile here, just before the heel, was a teeny, weeny bit flatter. Tut tut! Fixed These were better: 1st 7th 12th So next job is luminlays, then final sand and then finishing while I muster up courage to fit the machine screw inserts6 points

We played the NYE Gig at The Barley Pop in Germantown, 3:00 - 6:00. Old folks hours. This was our 3rd year playing The Barley Pop on NYE. The room was packed, great crowd. Very appreciative, nice tips. We don't have much going on in January. Blue6 points

I was contacted discreetly the other day by a person dealing in high end contraband after he was tipped off by Someone who shall remain anonymous. the message read: “Hey man, I have an almost brand new Noble if you’re still looking?” “Moi? I am clean, I’ve no money, I’m not a user, how much is it (asking for a friend) well maybe just a taste, you make a valid argument, I’ll take it!!” So after a 6 hour round trip that deprived my blonde haired blue eyed children of their piggy banks I am now a proud user of a Noble preamp. I use all valve amps, what could this thing possibly bring to the table? Well actually a lot!! I’m shocked, I’m astounded, I’m agog and let’s face it who uses that word anymore? I have been thinking about thinning the herd of valve amps I have and going clean, but I couldn’t quite get off the next fix of pure tube growl. well, there’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Noble! The stingray, the Wal, the modulus sound amazing through this pedal (is it a pedal or a box that fits on a pedal board?) with roundwound strings. The star of the show though, the biggest fix of the last day or two has been the Musicman Cutlass with the (oh shite, did I say that out loud?) TI jazz flats… It’s creamy, it’s rich, it sounds like my fingers are dribbling over the frets and leaving them purring! This box/pedal/thing has bought the decision to a head and the tube amps are going to be culled, I’m giving up, going cold turkey. well maybe not cold turkey while I have a Noble fix.5 points

Barefaced Super Twelve ( not 12T ) In great condition and comes with cover too. Great cab but no longer needed. Collect Hexham or can meet up somewhere. Delivery possible too. More pics tomorrow. Barefaced info- Barefaced Super Twelve We know that a good 4x10" is a fine thing The ported betweetered 4x10" revolutionised bass amplification back in the '80s. Since then drivers have become more potent and enclosures have become lighter, and thus the best of the breed can handle most gigs without needing tons of power to drive them, whilst being relatively easy to move. But we want to take the pros of the good 4x10"s and leave the cons behind So what's great about a good 4x10"? High sensitivity - it doesn't need much power to rock out. Tight but solid lows - not deeeeep like the Big One but more than enough for many bassists. Good midrange punch so you cut through the mix. Sweet characterful higher frequencies if the woofers, crossover and tweeter are well matched and designed. Tons of thermal power handling prevents thermal power compression and tonal changes. And what's not so great about a good 4x10"? Squat shape makes it harder to hear onstage and harder to carry through doorways and up narrow staircases. 2x2 woofer arrangement results in less than ideal polar response so the sound varies more around the venue. Excursion-limited power handling is far lower than the thermal power handling, so the lows can't keep up with mids when you're properly loud. DIMENSIONS 30" H x 19.5" W x 13.5" D 76cm x 48cm x 34cm WEIGHT 40lbs/18kg (Super Twelve) BROADBAND SENSITIVITY 102dB - louder than many 4x10" cabs USABLE FREQUENCY RANGE 37Hz - 4kHz RECOMMENDED AMP POWER 150-1200W RMS MAX CONTINOUS BROADBAND SPL 130dB - Louder than most 4x10"s and many 4x12"s NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 4 ohms4 points -
Here is my Fender Vintera 60's Mustang bass for sale. It's in excellent condition apart from one little scratch on the pickup. I purchased it during the first lockdown & it's only had use on one remote recording session. Great bass but just not my thing at all sadly. I'm open to offers but no trades as it will go towards a new Stingray for myself. Includes the original gig bag. Pickup preferred but could ship at the buyers cost (will need to get a box etc)4 points -
I have tried to build different 'scenes' or 'boards' or 'presets', but it's a heck of a lot of work and counter intuitive to me. Balancing volume levels over a sets worth of such patches never works and takes me longer than playing the gig! So this, to me, isn't a couple of multi effects it's a parallel effects board made up of 11 pedals. You count 12? Well, there is an envelope filter beneath the Boss LS2, it's in the FX loop of the Plethora, and the Byte synth is in an effects loop of the HX FX. By setting up as individual pedals I can see what's what, make adjustments quickly and easily, and just kick in what I need and when. It also leaves me free to improvise effect combinations as the fancy takes me. I run the two in separate loops via the LS2, because it's quick and easy to balance the outputs of the two multi effects, and I love the way certain effects interact in parallel. I also like others to run into each other so choosing what goes where has been fun. Anyway, if like me you get frustrated with multi effects capable of reproducing hundreds of individual pedals, always thinking you ought to somehow use them all, I recommend this. Imagine it's a shop, choose the pedals you want, 'buy' them, set them up and enjoy them. Forget all the others until you fancy something new. Then enter the virtual shop and voila!3 points

I’m offering my AI Clarus 2R series3 for sale. It is a very versatile piece of kit for the double bass: two channels each with phantom power, low cut or notch filters so you can run a pickup and mic together with their own independent settings. It has a 2 ohm min speaker output. I’ve owned the amp from new and apart from a slight initial ‘scratch’ on one gain control it’s perfect. Offered at £450 shipped in UK or you can come and try it out. Cab not included3 points -

Yeah, had two in fact. AND they both still exist as far I'm aware. It's only reasonable to discount the void that is lockdown, right? Nov 20 --> [lockdown void] --> Jan 22 I mean, apart from all the gigs we did over the last 6 months, and AndyT churning 36 basses, nothing much has happened in between, right?3 points

Band split so up for sale an Ashdown 6x10 in good condition few scapes on the bottom, usable hot cover, collection only, no shipping.3 points -
And I have decided the Fallout tribute is going back, I wanted to love it but it just felt a bit cheap, my Ibanez Mezzo is just as good quality wise and is half the price so I cant justify keeping the Fallout, to further add to the cheap feel (and what really sealed my decision to return it) there is a chip in the finish by the pickup that I did not initially notice, a black mark on the neck near the headstock and the nut has plastic sanding dust where they have cut the nut. My Fender Mustang that I had to move on due to the slab body being uncomfortable for my arm was in a different league compared to this, was just a much better instrument, real shame as for £349 reduced down from the usual pricing of around £500 this seemed to be a bargain but imo this is £300 bass not a £500 bass3 points

I don't think anybody thought he was anything but an OK guy. He wasn't exactly hounded off the forum. People called out his fantasy BS... and he just kept digging further. He saw his own way out rather than admit he was not living the rock star life he was portraying.2 points

Music Man Sterling Classic 4 in great condition complete with original Musc Man hard case........ Free Postage if needed (UPS Next Day.... not Hermes). The body at the neck pocket is dated Apr 2011. Lovely gloss ash body with a great grain and the neck is a great gloss 'birdseye' maple (see pics) and a rosewood neck. Please excuse the reflections in the pics, but it's a nightmare to photo in bright sunlight. For the weight fans..... it weighs in at 8lbs 14 oz or a smidge over 4kg. Don't see many of these around for whatever reason but I believe it was discontinued, so no idea if it's even reasonably priced, although the last one I saw for sale (in here) was at a higher price. I've had this a while now but never used it really and never been used at a gig, but having said that I'm still in two minds about selling it. I'm more of a passive Precision type these days so it seems a waste to have it sat there doing nothing when someone else could likely benefit from it. It's had a nut replacement in the past to a bone nutn and ot long ago set up with Rotosound 100-40 Stainless Steel Rounds fitted. These are a bit different to the usual MM Sterlings in that it doesn't have the selector switch or control plate and is based more along the lines of 'old style' models being 2EQ with the controls being Vol-Treb-Bass but with no centre detents. Maybe better off watching these reviews of it:2 points

Actually, I reckon 26 people could chip in £50 each. We buy a bass. Everyone has it for two weeks. After that we sell it, buy another and pass that round. Probably way less money than we all spend constantly churning gear.2 points

I miss JTUK. His constant proclamations of being amazing and what his vastly excessive tech requirements were for foldback monitoring. Then you find out he's playing "The Tickled Trout," in front of a massive plasma screen showing the FA Cup replay of Stoke v Crewe. How he only played with "named professionals," and was so amazingly talented at bass he could sneer at some of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument yet provided no evidence of how he was apparently better. What a tool.2 points

The only beef I've had with Level 42 not being on the level is that time I had to return a misplaying copy of "Guaranteed", only to find that it certainly wasn't guaranteed. I could not get an exchange nor a refund. Then I realised the true colours of this situation, I'd be stuck with this coaster forever now.2 points
