so... a fair bit of work later and I am approaching the end to this little project! Not quite turned out how I expected, so a bit more of a lined fretless rather than an unlined board look but for now, it will be fine and I am pretty chuffed with the end result. Glued in all the veneer, chiseled flat and then rubbed smooth. I did find there was still a little bit of chip out on certain frets when they were removed which was still visible after the veneer had gone in, so I relied on the wonders of CA glue again! I stored all the sanding dust in a little pot and used a sharp edge scraper to fill any gaps with the sanding dust, a drop of CA glue and sanded and I must say - looks pretty good. I took the same approach for the side dots - drilled them out with a 1.5mm bit, packed in some sanding dust and the a drop off CA glue over the top. Sand it back and they are barely visible at all. Very happy. Just waiting for new side dot material to come so I can drill and glue new markers in place. I was originally going to add a stain to try a bit more uniformity colour wise and hide the lines, but for now, I am pretty happy with the end result. As I say, not quite what I intended but when strung up and used on stage, I think the lines with be pretty well hidden. Any feedback is most welcome - I did a bodge defret job a while back and I wanted a much more professional job with this one and I am pretty please with the outcome. I may well attempt a black stain a bit further down the line - will see how the tru oil finish wears and perhaps when it needs a refinish, I may give it a go. Will post finished pics when it has some new flats on and I have completed the side markers.11 points

I’ve been slowly lurking to find an older Warwick Thumb NT to add to my stable. I had one many (Blue) moons ago, but let in go in a moment of temporary insanity. Finally found this beauty in Stockholm. I’ve dealt with this seller before, so I took a punt. Rather glad I did!10 points

For sale is my Musicman 25th Anniversary 4 string bass with dual humbuckers. It’s in excellent condition with just a few very minor wear marks in the usual playing areas. Ash body with mahogany tone block, quilted maple top in Venetian redburst, cream binding, maple neck with satin finish, rosewood fretboard, matching headstock. Frets are in excellent condition and have been finished flawlessly. The preamp and pickup switching options give this bass a huge palette of tones. Neck is a C shape with a 41mm compensated nut. Weight is 4.4kg and the bass comes in its original Musicman 25th Anniversary case, with cleaning cloth and warranty card. Collection preferred from my home in South London, but can post at cost. Thanks for looking. Please ask if you have any questions. Last price drop before going to Bass Direct. Now £1800. 25th_bass_controls_hh.pdf8 points -

No frets here and what a gorgeous bass. I got this from @jhk at the weekend and I’m very happy. It weighs just under 10 lbs and sounds huge!! It’s a 1992 bass, so over 30 yrs old. The neck has a lot of Birds Eye and the fretboard also has figuring. Altogether a very pretty (imho) and great sounding bass.6 points

Well - I've been offloading lots of gear since I won't be needing that much for the gigs we do (or if I keep doing live music). Means I've done away with the octave-fuzz-filter OFF1 from Mastro Valvola, same as the LEM and the Redwitch Empress Chorus, and gone back to my pedaltrain Nano. Having said that, I saw yesterday a juicy limited pedal (not edition, limited pedal altogether!) that Hudson Electronics made for Joe's Pedals... Less than 24hrs later and with big thanks to Joe (you're warned, fantastic bloke and great gear) I have the Motorcycle on my board - very, very very similar to the Broadcast, just maybe the controls are more flexible to the character/tone with the EQ controls and potentially easier to dial... if at all? The mojo and tone of the Broadcast is superb, and I genuinely don't care which one stays on the board, but the Motorcycle is limited and #8 so that one stays, Broadcast off to sale...: For those wondering, the Barefoot buttons have different heights, so I can stomp on the Motorcycle without actioning the compressor which I keep always on. Very simple but boutique/elite pedalboard now lol - super nice clean and super nice distortion, all I really need! Ander.6 points

Now £1395! Spector Euro RST in the wonderful Sienna finish up for grabs. This bass manages to be both unbelievably light (6.2lb!) while still feeling extremely solid and 'proper'. I've had light basses that feel like toys, this is not one of them! It features Aguilar pickups and an Aguilar preamp for some serious punch. Being Aguilar they also produce a nice vintage tone when required, especially with the neck pickup favoured and a slight treble cut. Both pickups on full with some bass and treble boost will send you to slap heaven. It has been gigged so is showing small signs of use, but it is in fantastic condition overall. It comes in a nice Spector gig bag. Collection from Margate or I can box it up securely if you'd like to arrange collection.5 points -
The board has been significantly downsized since the last rehearsal, since this band is a 60s style one and apparently my 3 fuzzes weren’t needed… My HX Stomp lost the battle for space with the Collision Devices, so once I stop being lazy I need to put stuff up for sale. Does anyone else feel like selling pedals is losing the game somehow? (Edit, I’ve just realized I have 3 space related pedals in a row).5 points

Ignoring the fact that both Steve Albini articles are so old as to be totally out of date (and first now totally irrelevant in todays musical environment), they also conveniently avoid pointing out that people like Steve Albini and Marillion are still able to exist as musicians today because they have built up suitably sized fan base under the old (bad) system. They may not have made a lot of money under this (or so they claim), but at the time they were relatively big fish (pun not intended) in a relatively small pond, they should have had the whole and very extensive weight of their record company publicity machines behind them; and that is what is now allowing them luxury of continuing the exist musically. Similarly for the album in the OP. The crowd-funding model only works because Stuart Hamm has already built up a reputation in the 80s and 90s. I do notice that his costs are relatively modest, although I wonder if he did look at getting any of the work done up front for free in exchange for a share of the profits? Especially that given his reputation he should be have no problem generating sufficient money from this venture. Nowadays when there are somewhere between 40k and 100k new tracks being uploaded to Spotify EVERY SINGLE DAY. How can a new artist ever hope to be noticed in order to be able to build up a large enough fan base to be able to make crowd-funding work for even the most modest of projects? I wonder how many of upon here playing music we have written ourselves would be able to raise the kind of money that Stuart Hamm is looking for through a similar system?4 points

Bit of a weird one this … so I bought a used 5 string Squier, pulled the frets, filled with epoxy and sanded, installed two Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, (£200 right there… ) bought a Musicman-style plate, connected it all up together, threw on a set of gold nylon coated strings and presto … an extremely playable 5 string fretless with a great sound! This bass won’t ever win any beauty contests but it sounds really good. Incidentally, the Squier neck is EXACTLY the same profile as my Fender Elite 5 string, super comfortable and weighs in at 10lbs. Not for everyone, but maybe of interest to someone who’s looking for a decent budget 5 fretless. Pref. pick up in sunny Bournemouth but happy to courier at cost. No case on this one I’m afraid but my packing skills are legendary! Thanks for reading …4 points -

Hi all, So... I was looking for a cheap backup amp and saw the Harley Benton Block-800B had good reviews and was only £300, so bought one off Thomann which arrived yesterday. Interestingly the one they sent me is MKII. Long story short, I think this amp is just too good to be sold at this price with 3 year warranty. I think I might actually use it as my main amp! I also currently own a GK Legacy 800, a TC RH750 and an Eich T900 (as well as many others in the past). A few things I noted... The good: Physically it is a very quiet unit, the fan doesn't always run and when it does it's whisper quiet. Can barely hear it. Ugly knobs are easily changeable. Heavy enough not to vibrate off a cab (3kg). I really like the EQ frequencies of the HB compared to the Eich and GK. Haven't noticed the amp getting warm at all, despite there only being two small vents on either side. Opened up the chassis and can see it has an ICEpower 700AS1 power amp. Very impressive considering the price. If I'm not mistaken, this power amp is more powerful than what is in the Eich, which is the 250ASX2 (700W vs 500W). I believe the 700AS1 is also used in the Genzler 800 and Darkglass Microtubes and possibly the GK Legacy 800 (it makes the same clicking noise on startup). These are all far more expensive amps... Although interestingly the 700AS1 is $65 cheaper than the 250ASX2, so not sure which one is better. The latter has lower output but louder dynamic range? 250ASX2 700AS1 The not so good: It seems to have a very constant high noise floor. By constant I mean it is present with no bass plugged in, plugged into the input or effects return, volume at zero or max, mute engaged/disengaged etc... It is worse than my GK Legacy, which I already thought was quite bad. There is lots of white noise even at zero volume, both through DI and headphones (worse through headphones). Haven't had a chance to try it through my BB2 cab yet. There is very little white noise from the TC or Eich. The TC actually has zero white noise when running through the effects return, even on max volume... But I guess that's because the power amp isn't very loud, presumably as it's only 236W. I suppose it's the magic in the preamp that somehow makes it sound much louder. The mute button doesn't mute the white noise or the effects return. DI out volume is pretty quiet (not necessarily a bad thing I guess). Onboard compressor adds a noticeable volume boost... not sure whether I'd use it. Questions: Does anyone know the difference between the MKI and MKII? Is the amp protected from phantom power? In summary, I think this amp is brilliant value for money. So much so that I am going to return the Eich which cost me over £900, and sell the TC. Might end up buying another HB as a backup to the backup!3 points

As you folk can see, most of my rig is on sale due to needing funds for other matters and band stuff requiring much less / potentially taking a break from stage. Gorgeous looking Squier Classic Vibe, from the best recent years of Squier I guess! Setup is great and comes with new Daddario Chromes. It's a bliss to play and a temptation to keep, but a basic pedalboard, amp and two basses is all I really need. Period correct and cleanly applied fender logo - original S/N at the back of course with the 'Made in China' stamp. Great condition for it's age with no remarkable damage.3 points -
Retrovibe are offering a near-copy. And they will do five-strings to order. And it weighs a little over 9lb. Which I suppose might put the purists off Unfortunately for me, it's sunburst only. https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-tt40-tt50-bass-34-scale-3-tone-burst-maple-neck-peavey-t40-style/?fbclid=IwAR1bbeo7d_8mK3h1dxVAgq-Xn-6L-UAnJzC3Nr4WfMP6neRO3b9_Hxq4kRc3 points

My Contribution to the May round of the Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by the picture chosen by last months winner, Me. I started off working towards an ambient electronic track, as that's how the image felt to me, but as I started getting lyric ideas together, they largely centred around the idea of doors, real and metaphorical, be it to another realm, or some earthly change or opportunity. From that it developed into more of a 'song' than a cinematic thing, so I ended up with a bit of both... I think! Tech wise... Recorded in Cubase Elephants 10 using an NS Design EUB and a Westfield Standard Guitar, both treated with bundled effects. Drums courtesy of Monster Drums, and a sprinkling of the bundled VSTs. Vox treated with CLA Vocals. The mixing process was my usual move sliders and hope for the best technique... I really must learn something about that stuff.3 points

In my lawsuit arguing that multi-fx don't generally need XLR: I put it to the jury that: a) It's fine, and possibly preferable for buffered instrument or line level signals to go through unbalanced cables up to about 25 foot, and not much of an issue beyond that unless really long distances (unlike mic level signals that do definitely need balanced even at short distances) . DI XLR for distances from instrument/line level pedal to Cab is probably not necessary or preferable: I call forward expert witness #1 "when the cord length is under 10 feet, unbalanced cables actually have a stronger signal than balanced cables. This is because at this length, any distortion is unlikely, and the simplicity of unbalanced cables can work wonders when there’s no detriment coming from potential distortion. For instance, mastering studios typically use unbalanced cables ranging between three and ten feet in length.".........."If you’re using a longer unbalanced cable on a loud device like a guitar, there won’t be a difference at all (vs balanced)" Witness #2 " most people have the impression that a balanced connection is superior because it is more resistant to external signal noise sources. While this is true, it does not necessarily mean that the balanced line is "better" than a single-ended cable"......"Under 10 feet unbalanced cables actually have a stronger signal than balanced cables. Great for low-level/gain signals like instruments"....(unbalanced is) effective at cable lengths up to 20-25 feet" b) Using XLR has a potential risk from phantom power Expert witness #3 'Wikipedia' "Phantom powering can cause equipment malfunction or even damage" Expert witness #4. Line 6 LT/Floor Manual "IMPORTANT! Never connect the Helix device's XLR outputs to a device whose XLR inputs have 48V phantom power enabled! c) There is no harm in using the DI XLR for pedalboard to belt pack for IEMs or home use but it isn't necessary or preferable for those short distances, a higher volume output (instrument or line level) via un-balanced would potentially be better. d) Expert witness #5 "The FOH guy" prefers to use their own DI box, this is usually the case. My concluding remarks to persuade the Basschat jury to rule in favour of not really needing an XLR on a multi-FX pedal: Cable distances aren't usually large enough to matter for multi fx buffered instrument or line level signals. Modern mixers can take instrument or line level inputs where interferance isn't usually an issue (unlike mic level). If there are long cable runs to mixers where a balanced signal would be beneficial you are probably playing at a festival or music venue - they will want to use their own DI to their mixing desk. If you still need your own DI then most Amps have them. In a situaltion where none of those things above apply (and how often is that the case?) then a seperate DI box is better than it being built into a multi fx unit because it can protect against damaging phantom power. Having a seperate DI box isn't an issue as they can be bought for as little as £11, they are small and tough, and passive ones don't even need to be plugged into power. ......Case closed!3 points

As many do, I used to live in flats in London and had to give up double bass as a result of neighbour complaints and threats. I never played bass at home through an amp and got into a habit of playing through headphones at all times. I think horns and drums require common sense on hours of practice but to prohibit music at all is ridiculous.3 points

I've had over 50 basses in my life, from Dingwall to Mustang and I keep coming back to Jazz Basses. So, after selling my upright and my Dingwall, why not get another one? I found this beautiful Custom Shop '64 Limited Edition Jazz in Germany. The seller was in NL yesterday so that was a perfect opportunity to pick it up. Lovely rosewood fretboard, Abigail Ybarra pickups, shoreline gold finish. Very happy with Jazz number seven in my collection.3 points

Hi everyone. This is For Sale Only, no Trades thanks. Close offers considered. Here’s my Maruszczyk Elwood Absolution 5a ( a is for Active preamp, Glockenklang 2 Band and passive too.) Haussel single coil pickups. Maruszczyk gig bag included. ( Maruszczyk basses are designed in Germany , made in Poland and are well documented as being great value for high end quality of construction and finish. See their site public-peace.de ) All original. It was made in 2014 ( Sn: 140119) , then stocked at gornymusic.ch in 2015 and I bought it new in Nov 2017 from them in Zurich. A Maruszczyk dealership run by the very helpful Bartek Gorny. This bass is as I bought it new and with my minimal use my price reflects this.No scuffs or swirls ,blemishes, marks, chips or scratches. Battery checked today and still 9.4v. Only used in my home and with my bass collection that means it’s not been played that much. A great sounding and versatile jazz bass with Haeussel ( often Haussel) pickups and a super clear sounding Glockenklang 2 band pre. Push pull vol control for active / passive , Blend, Bass and the treble is the passive tone control. The pickups have no single coil hum issues , even on headphones and my Noise Gate pedal isn’t required for home playing. I don’t record. A really broad pallet of sounds from the EQ and the Tone control ( Treble knob ) range is all useful with no large drop in volume when pulling the Vol from active to passive mode. Selling to pay towards another bass already bought. After over 5 years of enjoyment (but limited playing time) with this beauty someone else can enjoy it. This Absolution 5a really is beautiful with the blue flame maple everywhere. What a neck ! ( very comfortable ) and the MOPearl block inlays look like they’re illuminated when they catch the light. Gloss finish all over including neck. It’s a premium model with Master Luthier Syfon’s signature on the headstock. A nod to him which I like. You can see this actual bass on the gornymusic.ch site under the “Sold Instruments Gallery”tab. See the next link below. Zoom in on the headstock rear tip there and you’ll see the SN:140119 of my bass. Below those bass images in the link is a demo using Delano pickups instead of my haussel but it does have the Glockenklang 2 Band and it’s not far off my bass’s sound. ( They messed up on the Gorny website by the way, so the spec says Delano pickups for my bass instead of the Haussel JB 5s.) gornymusic.ch - Sold Instruments gallery - maruszczyk elwood absolution blue burst + video Below is an Adrian Maruszczyk demo with Haeussel pups and a Delano Sonar pre which sounds less warm/rich than with my Glockenklang 2 band and doesn’t utilise the bass pot much from what I hear. I have Glock preamps on other basses and they bring out the best in pickups. eg Glock 3 band on my Schecter Damien Elite 5 transformed the sound of the EMG HZ passive humbuckers which were poor with an emg B64 pre, really feeble. Copied some gornymusic photos of my bass and some of my own taken the other day. The shade of blue you see is as close to how the bass looks as I could get it. ( I had to Edit the colour my ipad camera picked up Toned it down 🤓. Used the Blues control. etc etc 🙄 ) The body edge is black/ v dark blue. Looks silver on the Gorny site, reflections I presume. Other Info. Comfortable contouring of the body rear. The pearl binding really is stunning. Fretboard top edge black dot markers too. Weight :4.8kg , just under, so 10lbs 9oz , fair do’s for a solid Fiver. Alder body, flamed maple front and back. The whole balance of the bass is Superb. Standing with my wide bass strap on , no hands, the neck is about 20 deg up, all ready to play. Consequently it doesn’t feel like a 4.8kg Fiver. Scale: 34 inch. The B string does it’s job very well. Strings: Spacing 18mm at bridge. Same strings as when I got it but the Glockenklang pre has enough to add to keep them sounding alive enough! Brass ends and blue silk tapers , not sure what they are. Best that you change to your own in other words and nowadays I prefer a 125 B string. 130 is on it. Nice chunky string retainer with slots. Monorail type bridge: Two allen keys included. Virtually no relief in the neck and saddles are right down currently for 2mm at 12th BEA and 1.7mm for the DG. Nut width ( See Zero fret photo) :45mm Looks like Graphtech but can’t find material listed anywhere. 12th fret 66mm 15th 70mm 21 Frets. No wear. Lovely smooth Ebony fretboard. Large radius prob 18 inch as it’s their largest option on the Maruszczyk Configurator. The Glockenklang ( made to M specs) controls feel great, turn smoothly with a nice feel ,sumptuous ?! to the detents too (apart from Vol control as usual). Very versatile pre which doesn’t cloud the openness of the Haussel pups. Maruszczyk thick padded gig bag included and I’ll pack well ,surrounding it with large bubble wrap and cardboard end packing. Delivery within UK included and fully insured. Thanks for looking. Why not make me a sensible offer? Quent2 points -
Yesterday was Happy New (Backup) Amp Day for me! It will probably do me for any gigs in smaller or less salubrious venues as well, but even as a backup it'll do nicely for letting me hear myself on stage while being able to DI out to the PA - last time I had to DI out was when the amp blew, and we had no monitors so I could barely hear myself, so definitely don't want to be in that position again! Initial indications are that this is a cracker, and I can't wait to try it out with the band at rehearsal on Sunday!2 points

Oi live in the country where we have nice gardens with lots of grass, bushes and hedges to cut etc. Both my neighbours cut theirs as do I mine. After we moved in we nicknamed it machine row as at the weekend there is nearly always some machine or other being used in the area to cut something. Often in the week as well We asked the neighbors if our music disturbs them and they say no we cant hear it. One of them likes motorbikes and quads which he test rides around his garden sometimes. 8.30 Sunday maybe. We choose to live and let live which is great. In the original article it is apparent that the complainer is a music teacher having a dig at a fellow female musician who she admits she can't hear if she shuts her door. Yet the ar*e from the EHO has insisted in making this order without any decibel readings or other justification. This threatens the girls livelihood. I hope he finds himself in the same place.2 points

Agreed. It may very well handle 1000w thermal, but probably can't take more than half that mechanical. If the OP can't get enough volume with that cab it's not a matter of having more power, it's a matter of having higher sensitivity. A second cab will give that, but anything other than an identical second cab is a crapshoot at best.2 points

Thanks for the reassurance everyone. Yes Tony, these are TI’s (what am I like?). I hadn’t expected another P bass along so soon, hence selling the last set to you! I may hang on to strings a bit longer in future…… I thought I’d fit this with something different to my other one which has La Bella LTFs as you know. Now I have options. I’ve carefully trimmed back the silks with a craft knife and put a tiny bit of PVA on them to stop them unravelling. I think it’s ok now. After a slight tweak of the truss rod, a little saddle, pickup, and intonation adjustment, I think it’s ready to play in for a while. I’ll take it to rehearsal tomorrow and give it a proper outing for a few hours. Here’s a pic with the silks trimmed. Rob2 points
