Just back from gig #2 of the weekend. Quite sleepy. Gig #1 was Wednesday’s Child - pub rock covers - in Dorking last night. We were under-rehearsed and the guitarist was far too loud onstage, so I came away feeling quite underwhelmed with it. I think I played ok, was fun switching between a standard tuned bass, a C-tuned bass and a fretless 5 - kept me on my toes! Need to go through all my patches and sort them out though as I noticed some hideous volume differences between some of them 😳 Gig #2 was Youths - original pop/punk - in Canterbury this evening. We opened the proceedings and played a blinder I think. Bass sounded ace - my first ever bass came out (a Vester Jazz with replacement Schaller pickups), through an HX Effects using the SansAmp clone, into my Elf and the headliner’s Markbass 6x10. First time I’ve played a long scale bass in anger in public since about 2015, was fun but I remember why I made the switch to shorter scales 😄 We were celebrating the release of our first single from our debut album - feel free to go check it out 😎 https://music.apple.com/gb/album/bumpy-single/1807891026 https://music.amazon.co.uk/artists/B002H5YZCU/the-youths13 points

NOT LAST NIGHT! I played a gig at the O2 Ritz in Manchester (My old stomping ground) a few weeks ago with The Groove Chorus - a 40 odd piece choir playing fun/funky/cheesy/disco/pop stuff. I used to go clubbing at The Ritz when I was a kid (Monday night Alternative (Goth) night and Wednesday night student (Indie) night) and I've seen loads of big gigs here (Including Chas & Dave!) so... this was a big deal for me! It was a long day, got there about 1 for setup, tech sortouts etc then a full run through... knackering but good fun! Eight piece band including a four piece horn section - we had a monitor engineer which hasn't happened to me for a long time. The MD, guitarist and drummer were guys I've worked with before and not seen for ages, which was nice; the keyboard player was a great bloke and really good laugh - it's always nice to meet someone who hasn't heard any of my jokes. The dress code was 'Denim on Denim on Denim' (NO black clothes allowed!) so I had to buy a pair of blue denim jeans - I don't own that many clothes that aren't black... It was as camp as a row of pink tents (at christmas) - we did 'I Will Survive'... how camp do you want it?! The gig was FANTASTIC - the place was packed, the choir sounded brilliant, the crowd loved it, the band were great, I played pretty well... a great night all round. Certainly the biggest gig I've played for a while. The organisers (and the rest of the band) said some nice things about my playing, which was gratifying and I've since been asked to play the next one, so... a good nights work! (Decent payer as well) Highlight was probably 'Groove is in the heart' - who wouldn't want to play 'that' riff through an ENORMOUS PA while hundreds of people dance to it?! Played the StingRay -> Secret Weapons board (Thumpinator ->VTDI) -> MB802 -> ENORMOUS PA Shoes were peach pink sparkle Converse (not pictured) Video- https://www.facebook.com/reel/100508158769190412 points

Another Eagles tribute show in Hexham, Northumberland. Nice to have a monitor after persevering with IEMs at the last gig. Old school, but.. I prefer it. Also used my new Jazz for a bit. It's lovely, but I’m not sure stacked knobs - or white - is for me. We'll see. Next stop... Rotherham!11 points

The Salty Dog in Northwich on Friday night. It's a small place so we easily filled it. I love this place 'cos they always have great beer. For the first time since I started playing there, they had a great sound engineer! Every other time we've played there the sound has been plagued by low end rumbling and constant feedback, however, it's always been a barman or the like just doing their best. This guy clearly not only knew what he was doing, but was also concerned with doing a good job, and he did! A very sweaty 1.5hr set and all the free beer I could drink made for a very entertaining evening10 points

A bitter / sweet gig this one (Chateauroux in France) 18 original compositions from a good friend who's now sadly very limited with regards to time left. 10 pce band and I only know one of them, two days of rehearsal, live recording third day and public concert on the last night. Quite an honour to be asked to provide the low end. Fingers crossed I don't mess up🤣9 points

Two gigs for me last weekend. First was with the blues band at a rather remote pub on the coast. Not as busy as last time we did it but still a small appreciative crowd. I made a classic schoolboy error of leaving home a bit late and grabbing a gig bag on the way out, only to discover I’d brought along the ‘wrong’ bass. Fortunately I also brought along my Dano Longhorn to show the guys, so ended up using that into the Rumble 500 and it sounded pretty damned good. Haven’t used it for a while, so a nice reminder of how it will always be a keeper. (see pic). Then Sunday I was with the duo at our regular venue in Scarborough, ‘The Lookout on the Pier’. A full house as per usual and some interesting requests, including ‘A certain smile’ ( for the owner Jill ), ‘Africa’ and ‘An Englishman in New York’ with the crazy walking bit in the middle which is OLF. Encore of ‘Eight days a week’ which is a cracking tune as well. We’re there again in May and it’s always a pleasure.8 points

Well he came to my house maybe 17-18 years ago to potentially buy my USA Sadowsky... and he didn't; despite having driven a few hundred miles to get to me! Maybe my bass tarnished it for him!7 points

I'm relatively new to the short scale world - recently bought an American Performer Mustang which I love and can't seem to put down. When I got it, it was strung with flats which totally killed all of it's character. Now it's strung with 40-95 Elixirs it's truly versatile, with a Jazz bass on steroids sound with the taps fully open, a burpy Jaco sound with the bridge pickup solo'd and 50% of the Greasebucket equipped tone control, and a huge Precision-style thick sound from the little Japanese-made split coil, again with 50% tone. Couldn't be happier! I noticed some mentions of the Nordstrand Acinonyx basses. I tried both the original version and the second generation model, and much preferred the original with the two banks of buttons.6 points

I hereby give notice of impending Gear Abstinence Failure. A 5 string has been sourced, ordered and paid for but has yet to arrive. In my defence, m'lud, a recent setlist update beyond my control has seen the need for some low B action (so the bigger boys in the band have told me) and they made me get one (and they stole my dinner money, too). Good luck to those who have stayed strong and loyal to this thread. Stay strong, brothers. 😀6 points

Very nice gig last Saturday with the blues band Ministry of Mojo in the Wagon and Horses, Newmarket. Very nice pub despite it being Greene King, small but enthusiastic crowd with plenty of dancing. We were very short of space so I elected to leave the double bass in the car and did the whole gig on my Epiphone Century bass, a first time, it sounded great. Shoes: like dead pigs noses.6 points

For sale is this absolute monster of a bass - the very rare 5 string US Fender Precision Deluxe. This is the one with the Precision pickup at the neck and the ‘Double Jazz’ Humbucker pickup at the bridge & active 3B preamp, it’s a hugely versatile bass and is a proper tone machine! I’m not here to try to sell this particular model of bass to you - I’m sure you probably know what they are, so I’ll just tell you about this specific one. (If you’re looking online for it the bass is sometimes known as the “Fender ADPV” on TalkBass etc. If you are wanting where there is a lot of info/player reviews - they’re very well thought of, worth a looking there if you’re considering it as there’s a lot of discussion on there about them) These are extremely sought after due to the versatility of them & amazing build quality - l really don’t want to let it go and tried to sell my Mayones Jabba 5 instead first but there’s no takers, so unfortunately this is on the chopping block It has an Ash body, maple neck and is finished in a really nice transparent teal green (so you can see the grain of the ash underneath) and a 3 ply mint pickguard Sound-wise the bass can do it all - it’s a fantastic sounding bass, it has the Precision pickup at the front and the double jazz humbucker at the bridge. In my opinion the blend centred is one of the best fingerstyle sounds there is. Depending on the gig/genre I usually have the blend 10-20% either side of centre, front gives you a huge precision sound or rear gives you a bridge pickup style sound whilst retaining all the low end and not just sounding thin and ‘middy’, then give the Mid knob on the preamp a turn to taste - cut makes the bass sound more passive and boost gives a really nice mid boost that seems to cut through the mix (that’s just how I liked to use it anyway!) It’s an active bass and the 4 knob setup is Vol/Blend/Bass & Treble stacked/Mid - the mids are definitely the secret sauce of this preamp, also for some reason the mids turn the other way to the bass & treble, so forward is cut and backwards is boost - it’s always been this way, no idea why 🤷♂️ Condition wise, it’s in reality good nick, there is a couple of bits of buckle rash to the back, not much at all but enough to mention. It looks like someone before me playing with a pick and so there’s some dulling of the gloss and marks where someone has clearly been giving it some welly with a pick at some point, it’s not bad but it’s there. There is odd marks and stuff here and there as it’s a 23+ year old bass, but you wouldn’t know that - it looks great, no big dings on it, the chrome hardware still looks new - obviously it’s not perfect but there’s nothing worth noting. I’ve tried to do as many different pics as possible so you can see for yourself I’ve included screenshots of the info from the Fender serial number website in the photos but I’ll quickly list the important stuff: - Ash body/Maple neck & fingerboard - Satin neck finish - String through body or through bridge - 22 medium jumbo frets - 34” Scale - 9.5” (241mm) Fretboard Radius - Modern C shaped neck - Nut width - 1.875” (47.6mm) - Bone Nut - Abalone dot inlays - Deluxe lite bass tuners - Rolled fingerboard edges - Contoured neck heel This is an absolute top drawer US Fender, there’s not much else I can say, but it’s definitely one of the models that makes you realise why Fender has the name it does! These were made in a real golden era for modern Fender’s, these basses and the electronics were John Suhr designed and both the Jazz and the Precision deluxe’s from this era (mid 90’s - early 00’s) have almost mythical status and you can see why This comes with the original Fender moulded hard case, and includes the original case candy including manual, lifetime guarantee, stamped QC inspection card and all that, as well as the Fender branded truss rod tool & Allen key Price Reduced- £1,250. Shipping/delivery can be arranged (Trades - May take cheaper trade + cash my way but it depends what it is, I already have a bass on hold and I need som) Loads of pics below 👇 Sorry for the essay, congratulations/commiserations if you managed read it all!5 points -
Last night with Nine Lives at the Harbour Lights in Peterhead. Probably the best gig we've had there - reasonably well attended with a few repeat customers. Played pretty well, the usual little fluffs but nothing song derailing. Best part for me was how well the Brainwaves pitch shifter performed - the sound quality is much better vs. the Hotone Harmony because even when playing -3 semitones there's none of the warbling/slightly underwater quality that the Hotone excusably has (it was less than £50 after all). And the "fake guitar" thing (as in 50:50 wet/dry mix, voice 1 = +7 semitones, voice 2 = +12 semitones) plus overdrive from the Joyo Monomyth produced a deliciously rorty sound - enough to elicit a look with puffed out cheeks from the guitarist across the stage from me and positive comments afterwards from both the guitarist and the singer. Drummer probably didn't appreciate getting his hair blown back by the rear port, but he just doesn't like it when someone makes more noise than he does Gear was the Epiphone Em-bassy Special IV then the Epiphone Thunderbird '64 into the usual Markbass toan cubes.

Just bought this modded OC2 from here. I wanted a single pedal which I could throw in the loop of my Meatball filter to give an octave synth sound, so this is perfect as it gives both octaves with a delicious fuzz which pairs with the filter perfectly.4 points

It's tricky to make a short scale 5er with a good B in a factory situation where wood selection and tolerances are arbitrary at best. By all accounts, the Ibanez Talman gets close enough, but I wouldn't expect many other big manufacturers to get it right at an affordable price point. For a kick ass short scale 5er, you really need to be looking over, probably way over that £1k price point and talking to luthiers rather than corporations.4 points

I've had this SR1306 since 2010ish. It's no lightweight at 10lbs but the body is solid Padouk, so that's expected. It's from 1993 and they only made it for that one year before changing it to a sandwich body (mahogany with Padouk veneers), and changing the pickups. The catalogue & promotional material of the time had GV playing one. I have recently fitted a Lusithand BMF800 preamp,which works well. Neck is a dream like all Soundgears.4 points

Hi Folks, Now *** SOLD *** Background Bit of an unusual one, this, so here goes... So, at the 3rd time of trying, I have realised that fretless bassis not for me. Hence why this is now up for sale. It's a 1970s (or possibly early 80s) Maya Precision bass in superb condition, completely stock, and comes with its original case and some of the case candy. The only thing that's not original (AFAIK) is that, at some point in it's life, it's been defretted. As I hope the photos show, it's a bit of a stunner, but when I bought it, it wasn't playing very well. So, I I took it to my local luthier, Nick Hartel in Letchworth, who's done a fabulous job on it so that it now plays beautifully (very happy to share his report on the work he did btw) . I bought this on Facebook last autumn thinking it looked totally cool, and it would be the perfect fretless to get me going so that I could discover my inner 'Mick Khan' or 'John Giblin'.. But sadly, that dream is now over - I just don't enjoy the fretless sound/vibe enough to persevere with it. The guy I bought it from is a very credible guitar dealer in Suffolk and here's what he had to say about it: "Very rare and collectable Japanese bass from the golden era of MIJ quality. Maya instruments are up there with the other highly regarded names, quality hardware, proper woods and built by people who knew their business. This is one owner from new, converted to fretless in the 1980s, in the original case with the tools and booklet for the top class adjustable tuners. A few bumps and marks but nothing major, a Japanese quality instrument for Chinese Squier money..." New Price as of 12.06.25 = £395 (All in all, this has cost me £460; £295 when I bought it and £165 in luthier fees. So, based on that outlay and the fact that it's a real nice, all original vintage MIJ, high quality instrument, I've priced it at £395 or near offer.) Trades I've had a rethink on this so, could now be tempted by a nice electro-acoustic 6-string, or an all valve head maybe, interesting pedals, studio gear... Who knows? Whatever - I'm open to having conversations with anyone who might have any interesting trade offers. Collection /meet ups Collection in Potton, east Central Bedfordshire much preferred, though I could do meet up anywhere between here and Ealing, London, where I work. Or indeed, a meet up within an hour's drive from me in any other direction. You're very welcome to come and have a play of the bass through my Mesa Walkabout combo (or your own amp/cab) here in Potton.. Kettle's always on, with plenty of tea /coffee available. Anyway, that's enough rambling from me. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking! 👍😊 Cheers Nik3 points -
I've just unearthed a veritable treasure trove of old recordings from 1978 through to the mid-90s. I thought these were all long gone to landfill, but my mother-in-law says, 'I've found a box of cassettes in the garage,' so I did a trip out to pick them up. Man alive. I'm just transferring the first one to the PC. In the early 90s we were rehearsing in our (rather well-heeled) guitarist's basement, a double garage conversion that was under the main lounge of his house. We had a ton of gear...I had two Hamer basses and a huge Laney stack, guitarist came back from a US holiday with three Jacksons (a purple Kelly, two Strat things in custom paint) and he was running a superb Fender Twin Reverb. Thinking back, I can recall he'd bought a Fostex F-77, a little mixer (for the drums) and a bunch of decent microphones, so we tended to capture fairly clean recordings whenever we rehearsed. Listening back, it's a home counties cross between Motley Crue, Anthrax and U2. I'm about halfway through the first cassette (dated May 1991), by which time we seem to have employed the services of a singer who is pretty much channeling Mike Patton (I wonder where he is now). It sounds bonkers. So f*cking fast. There goes my weekend.3 points

For hardware which needs an occasional connection to an obsolete OS or I/O to be configured then it might be an idea to keep an old laptop with firewire etc to one side. Not a huge inconvenience to keep using something you love. This is twice as fun if you're an old PC nerd as you can play Half Life on it as our lord intended. If it's just a modern OS thing then a VM might be a more convenient (but less fun) way of doing things. ASIO4All drivers are also a potential lifesaver for old audio interfaces - a while back I sold an ancient M-Audio Quattro (genuinely forgot i had it and found it in a box) which isn't even on the legacy support section of their website and the last drivers were for Windows 98 IIRC. Worked fine (well as fine as USB 1.1 can be) in Audacity with ASIO4All which amazed me.3 points

Gallien Krueger Rig. RB700 Head. 2 x 12 Neo Cab. Great rig which has served me well. Head comes with the flight case and the cab has a a cover. Both in great condition.

I think with SS having a moment in the sun with more punters and pros playing them there is a small gap, yes. Having had another quick look, there is the Ibanez EHB1505S - but appreciate they may not be your cup of tea. It can be done as shown by Maruszczyk/ACG/Sandberg/Wilcock so scaling up the premise to mass production isn't unfeasable, just hasn't obviously been deemed profitable enough yet.3 points

Hi Folks, *** Really need to move this on now, so new price of £525 *** Due to having too many amps, up for sale is this beautiful sounding, excellent condition, Mesa Boogie Carbine M6, 600 watt bass amp that comes in a Trojan 2u Rack Case. Price etc I'm looking for £625 o.n.o for the amp and rack case. Attached photos hopefully show everything you'd need to see, but if you'd like any other pictures, please let me know. At the risk of stating the obvious, the Fearless Greenboy cab in the photos is not for sale. Collection arrangements Collection only from Potton, in Central Bedfordshire, or a meet up somewhere between Potton and Ealing in London where I work. Sorry, but I won't post this, having had too many mishaps when shipping amps before. Viewings / trial at Silverfoxnik Towers very welcome of course, where the kettle will be on and the tea/coffee will be flowing. If you have any questions, please ask away here or PM me. Thanks for looking, as ever.. Cheers, Nik 👍😊 Useful info/reference/reviews etc So, here's some useful background and other information about this sale... This was bought by me in March last year from @rambam, here's a link to his advert : It was in superb condition when I bought it, and it still is to be honest, as I've only done a few gigs with it in that time. Here's the Carbine's tech spec: Wattage600 Watts @ 4 or 2 Ohms / 320 Watts @ 8 Ohms Power Amp TypeTrans-Class™ Power w/8 Power MOSFET's & 8/4 or 2 Ohm Impedance Switch PreampVacuum Tube Preamp w/ 1x Mesa 12AX7 EQ / Dynamics ControlActive Bass w/Pull Deep, Passive Mid, 5-Position Active Mid-Voice Switch & Active Treble Footswitchable FunctionsExternal Switching Jacks for Mute and Voicing Modes (Footswitches Sold Seperately) Weight25 Lbs. Dimensions3 1/2" H x 19" W x 13 3/8" D A useful YouTube review here: And here's a pretty accurate description of the qualities of the Carbine: The Mesa/Boogie M6 Carbine 600 Watt Bass Head is a powerhouse amplifier designed for bassists who crave precision, power, and versatility. With its Class A/B power section, this amp head delivers an impressive 600 watts, ensuring your sound is both bold and clear, whether you're in the studio or on stage. The M6 Carbine is engineered with a hybrid tube preamp and a MOSFET power section, combining the warmth of tubes with the reliability and efficiency of solid-state technology. What sets the M6 Carbine apart is its 5-band EQ with a semi-parametric midrange, allowing for detailed tonal shaping tailored to your specific style. This flexibility ensures that whether you're playing smooth jazz, funk, or heavy rock, your sound will cut through with clarity. The amplifier also features a foot-switchable Solo Level Control for dynamic live performances. Beyond its tonal capabilities, the M6 Carbine is built with the gigging musician in mind. It includes a balanced XLR output with a ground lift and pre/post EQ options for direct connection to PA systems. Additionally, it features a series effects loop and a tuner output, making it easy to integrate with your existing gear. Thanks again for looking! 👍2 points -
Reluctantly selling my Aria Pro II SB1000 from 1981. It’s in excellent condition for a 44 year old bass. All original with original full sizes case. Ash body, walnut finish, original electronics with no issues. Maple neck with ebony fretboard. Small ding on top side of neck at 11th fret (pictured). Currently strung with DR Black Beauties. Original case shows signs of wear and is serviceable, but I wouldn’t use it for day to day gigging. Weight - 5kgs. It’s heavy. But if you wear it high, in the 80s position as originally intended, the weight is not an issue!2 points -
Classy amp, despite its deceptive simplicity, while it's bloody versatile it's also very hard to make it sound anything other than bloody good. I had the combo version that - due to classic Mesa over-engineering of the cab - weighed slightly more than Luxembourg, but I still chose it over my smaller Mesa units because it did sound rather lovely. Certainly a unit that justifies the 'Engineering' in the title 👍2 points

Well, this has been a fairly interesting journey. Hours of frankly terrible church hall recordings going back to when I was about 13, through to some fairly decent studio reels. Runs from punky originals, through metally stuff, the white soul boy years and then stops with a few tapes of stuff I recorded in a local studio as audition tapes for band/label prospecting. I also unearthed a pair of three-track demos I did with a band when I was 18 or 19, the first was self-financed (£65! I remember this distinctly) and the second funded by Polydor (this is another story). Dates cut off late 90s. Interesting. Despite my punky/alternative roots, re-listening to the WSB stuff was the most interesting. I was writing with a bloke up in Ealing; I'd decamp there for an entire Saturday, every Saturday for about 18 months, and we'd just immerse ourselves and write. His wife would do a nice lunch, we'd work through the afternoon and I'd get home around 6.00pm. Programmed drums. From memory, I was using a Warwick Streamer 5LX...my first foray into a 5-string. Sadly it was never going to be a live thing, purely writing and recording (I had a 50% share in a 24 track studio, so it was a good vehicle for that). I'm very pleased to hear these again. For now, the tapes go back in the box. I'll probably never listen to them again! If you're interested: https://on.soundcloud.com/u5PWooGdoLMkJ14262 points

For me personally as a five string player,other versions of what Fender invented can offer better B strings,more comfortable fingerboard radii,better colour options,build quality,more frets etc etc. I have nothing against the brand but found that they're not necessarily the "best" at what they started. It hasn't stopped me having one in the stable still however albeit with a Sadowsky onboard preamp modification. To date my favourite take on a jazz bass is an actual Sadowsky.2 points

I've got a 1978 music master. It was my first bass in 1995. I sanded it in 1997, and never finished it until 2018. The respray job I did in nitro was poor and I chipped it within a week. I do wish I'd just kept it as dented and chipped as it was when it came to me. The original pickup sounds good to my ears. Maybe give yours a proper try when it arrives. The tuners has seen better days so mine has recent hipshot tuners.2 points

I had one of these (though - probably - not this one: picture borrowed from Gumtree): Like many here, it was the mid-80s and affordable options were many fewer than now - I think I paid £90 for mine second hand from Musical Exchanges in Brum (IIRC). No, it wasn’t a great amp. Not anything like as loud as it looked like it should be (that well-known measure of sound output…), but turned up full and with my Thunder 1A’s preamp set to ‘maximum bass’ it was great for playing the bassline to Peaches. And it had a thing called a parametric EQ, which I didn’t really understand but nonetheless believed to be frightfully clever. Ah, happy days. I’ve no recollection of what happened to it - I don’t remember selling it, but, equally, how does one lose such a thing?2 points

It's that time again 👌 Going to use the new 0xEAE Bass Driver as a preamp, much like the Rusty Box. Currently playing with the Mother in front but really like how it takes the Dagger and Black Math too. Going to start popping it on the board now Im pretty happy with the order. Its extremely clanky in here. UPDATE Had a little more time than expected so I got it all wired up. Think it'll stay like this for the foreseeable until I've had chance to experiment with upcoming musical endeavours and maybe I’ll downsize to essentials. Heres and undercarriage shot for anyone into that: Not the neatest but passable 👌2 points
