  1. A bit late posting but we played another fund raiser last Sunday at the cathedral in North Bay where we played in February of 2024 to help raise money for roof repairs and this time they even paid us for our efforts. Probably at least 200 in the audience, a bit lower than we hoped but it was a beautiful spring day and I think some folks decided to enjoy the good weather. We had a vocalist with us this time and she was great as usual and really knows how to work those old jazz tunes. We did a swing set and then I switched to tenor banjo and one sax player used a bari sax to play a bass line and we played a shorter Dixieland/trad set. Good fun and the church and the band both made money. Shen SB 100 into the Bose PA and Baldwin Ode banjo. The word on the cross above the bass sums up how I feel playing some of the songs. 😊 Edit: Keyboard player is there but hidden behind the alto sax player.

  2. This is what it boils down to. If you like the sound of 15s (and don't mind carrying them), the technical arguments are irrelevant, even if they are true. If you are happy with the sound you make, you will be more relaxed and confident and play better.

  3. A few days late and no pictures (so no incriminating evidence), but I had fun gigs on Friday and Saturday. Friday was with The Underbites, loosely a punk band playing originals. The venue was Arlene’s Grocery in lower Manhattan. Arlene’s is a fixture in the rock scene in NYC. Good backline, good PA, good house engineer and, overall, just a great place to play. We had a modest crowd but they were enthusiastic. We played a fast, tight set that was well received. The high point for me was that the young crowd that had come to see the earlier (and much younger) band stayed to hear us as well (not always a given in NYC) and they were VERY complimentary. I don’t think they were expecting the old guys to be a much better band - but we were! Saturday was another punk band; Bedpan Fight. An absolutely hilarious group with ridiculous original songs. I’m a recent member of the band but I’ve known them for years. The (excellent ) drummer, my old friend Vic, is even newer to the band but we’ve played together many times and we’re a formidable rhythm section. The venue was Mr. Beery’s, a dive bar about an hour outside the city on Long Island and the lineup was four female-fronted punk bands. All the bands were great, the atmosphere was very collegial, the local crowd was very welcoming and it was a really fun time. The high point of that one was the bassist from one of the other bands, a very lovely young lady who was easily six feet tall ( and a very good bassist) , coming up to me to tell me how much she loved our set, loved my playing and thought my Rickenbacker was beautiful! It takes one to know one. That ended up being a very late night for me; by the time I dropped the drummer off at his apartment in Queens and then drove home to Brooklyn it was past 2:30 but it wrapped up two fun nights of gigs.

  4. Picked my Euro LX from the tech this morning. LHZ-03 preamp installed and some luminlay fret markers installed too. Only played it briefly through my headphone amp, but the LHZ sounds fab! Have to wait about a week to hear it cranked through my GK amp, but I think I’m going to be impressed 😊

  5. Arrival of a GT 1000 Core has meant I've been able to cut down on a lot of individual pedals I was previously using for gigs when I had my Zoom B1-4: the GT Core provides an excellent drive/fuzz, along with the usual modulation fx and not too shabby an up-sweep filter either! So I've found myself just using the two pedals shown, and wanted to get a compact pedal board to match which can more easily slot into my gig bag. I found one by a previously unknown brand "Strich" - the feet were a little too tall for my needs at 4cm & 3cm respectively, but easy to unscrew and replace with four 2cm ones, which still allows plenty of clearance for my HB Iso Pro 5 PSU on the underside.

  7. It has taken me some time - quite some time - but I’ve finally got my hands on one of these. It’s about as close as I’m likely to get to an actual Status T-Bass. This was the bass that first brought me to BassChat as a longtime lurker, before a registered member. I never actually thought I’d get a T-Bass, despite coming very close a couple of years ago, there was one on Fb marketplace, but the seller was very cagey with his answers to my questions, and he just didn’t inspire any buying confidence in me at all, so that one passed. (A decision I’ve regretted for letting the bass go, but I always felt it was the right decision due to bad vibes from the seller.). And here I am today, making this post. I've the bass exactly a week now. Pros : It’s a T-Bass! That headstock (you can’t really want a T-Bass if you don’t like the headstock). The colour (I'm not sure if it's faded white or supposed to be this off-white shade). Cons : It’s a TE, not Status. It’s the 3-piece neck. Just before PoiDH, a super-massive shoutout to @NigeJ and @HeadlessBassist , who both took time out of their lives to go and meet the seller and check/inspect the bass for me. Just prior to Nigel’s viewing it developed an electrical fault - seller said it was due to a battery leakage and provided pic of removed battery box with green residue on it - which is why I needed Richard to go and check it out after the issue was fixed, which he did, tested the signal and all OK. Without these two, I wouldn't have this bass now, so thank you very much gents, your time was very much appreciated. The bass isn't perfect, there's some dings in the finish and a couple of splits in the finish as well, the black marks you see in some of the images in the Flickr album may just buff out, I've got some polish to try and remove those. I've got some Rotosound flats on order as well as some strap lock buttons. I'll revisit this thread once the above have been put on and I've had a go at giving it a cleanup. Enough words, PoiDH below … Plenty more images in this Flickr album. Mark

  8. Small update to the board, I've been tasked with triggering samples in-between songs, so I've put our Jamman on the board. It's a bit of a beast in both size and weight (1kg!). But, despite the claim on the back of the thing that it needs 1300mA it seems to be fine with 500mA! That means I can use the last output on my power supply and not have to work out other arrangements. 🥳 It's a bit of a pain to get to though. Toppers have been added to help me identify play and stop as I got a little confused under stage lights and the white text disappeared. Really, I'd like a Boss RC-5, switch the samples via midi from my GX-100 and just use the foot switch as an on/off pedal. Alas, funds do not allow!

  10. Having recently got stung, I'm beginning to understand why Bitsa is a dirty word! This one however is a fantastic hardly played instrument, commissioned by me, all work executed by Indra Guitars down here on the South coast. We have... Hosco neck, alder body, 70s jazz spacing Nordstrand soapbars, Hipshot Ultralites, Titanium bridge for added sustain. The knobs are vol, blend, tone. CTS and fancy cap. Thomastik jazz flats. Custom anodised pickguard and bespoke control plate, Gotoh relic knobs. Everything bought new, cost around £1400!

  12. Trade added, would consider PJB Small combo or HX Stomp !! I own 2 1x10 Wayne Jones cabs and a Wayne Jones preamp which is my go to rig and I bought this incredible 1000 watt powered 2x10 on this forum last year as a viable “bigger venue “ alternative. It is in perfect working order and very good cosmetic condition. A few very minor marks/dints which can be seen in the photos. I believe there are 3 variants of the cab, this one being the second, so same size and power as the later version, Available to view/trial near York or could potentially meet to complete the sale within a radius of about 59 miles. Not viable to post. Here's details from the site: WJ 2×10 1000 WATT POWERED BASS CABINET WAYNE JONES AUDIO “The Wayne Jones Cabs Are As Good As It Gets” (2018 Review) “The Best Powered Cabs I’ve Heard” Two Editor Awards from Bass Player Magazine ~ Bass Player Magazine DIGITAL DSP FOR POWERED BASS CABINETS Now you can have a 1000 Watt Compact, Portable High End, High Powered, Crystal Clear, Full Range 2×10 Bass Cabinet (40 Hz – 20 KHz) that only requires a pre-amp, your bass & yourself. I still use the same 10” driver design that was in my previous model (if it aint broke don’t fix it) with air dried Kevlar Impregnated cones, a 70mm voice coil, massive ferrite magnets (in preference to Neo). A state of the art switch mode D Class power amp with amazing dynamics, 20Hz to 20KHz frequency range (see specs) is built into the rear panel of the cabinet with a grill to protect it. I could have used what most other companies are using but this power amp far surpasses them with specs & amp quality. Perfect for my cabinets as they need the power to move those drivers to give you all those frequencies. As opposed to other cab companies where their speakers do not deliver all the frequencies as present & as balanced as mine. Dimensions Height: 64.5cm Width: 40.5cm Depth: 51.5cm (25.4 x 15.95 x 20.28 In) Weight 29kg, 65lbs Cabinet Specs Power Amp – State of the art D Class switch mode power amp 1000 Watts with heat sink plate mounted into the rear of the cabinet.

  14. I have had one for a few years now and I think they are great little basses but not without their issues and idiosyncrasies. Pros and cons from mine and other folks’ experience: Pro: 1. Very light weight and well balanced; 2. Slim fast neck (36mm at the nut); 3. Lots of tones available and it can sound massive on some settings; 4. The push-button presets give you instant repeatable tone (not to everybody’s taste); 5. Quality hardware but see some of the cons below. Cons: 1. Selecting the all-in (series) pickup setting can be very tricky; 2. Some reported issues with the longevity of the push-buttons; 3. First batch basses suffered from the saddles dropping on the Hipshot bridge. The official cure was Loctite and careful location of the string ball ends (not acceptable IMO). My second batch model has been OK in this respect; 4. The pickup screws go straight into the metal baseplate and the thread can strip over time giving the screws no grip, so the pickups drop. My local luthier has had to repair quite a few by attaching a nut to the baseplate. He says the pickups look very cheaply made, which is ironic as they are one of the few USA parts; 5. No body contouring. I haven’t found this as much of a problem as on basses like Mustangs and the Gretsch Junior Jet; 6. The upside down headstock is a gimmick that wears thin after a while and it can be confusing tuning it, if you swap from a conventionally configured bass during a gig. I am thinking of having a pickguard made to accommodate a strat style pickup selector, vol, tone and jack socket. Then I can do away with the buttons. I like the tone presets though, so I would replicate them with a rotary varitone control. Just a thought. There looks to be ample room in the cavity to accommodate this set up. Hope this helps your decision. BTW my experience is with a dual pickup model.

  15. Rare bass, natural velvet is a factory satin over swamp ash. The neck is beautifully figured and the bass has just been luthier set up. It's been modded in the early noughties and is done really well. I had it upgraded from SD matched alnico Aguilar MM and supplementary J neck pickup. About as close as you can get to the original Stingray sound. There's an Aguilar preamp, I think it's OBP-2, with cut and boost on bass and treble, 2nd knob is blend. Comes with the Bass Direct mute kit for the thudders. I'm torn selling it but I have a Special, and a mongrel, plus a couple of Sterlings. It's an outstanding bass for the right player. Weight is a fantastic 8lb 7oz! It started out as a 3eq and was modded when I bought it. Plays fantastically and has added versatility. No offers but open to Sandberg trades, esp Lionel.

  21. Incidentally, I saw Walter Trout last night. He played a solo, then said "I enjoyed that so much, I'm going to play it again, because it's my band and I can!". The whole night was full of things like signalling people how many turns around to take for a solo, or to take another one. I'm sure even the encore was unplanned as the band were watching him, and he called out 'Going Down'. James Oliver (a very different style of guitarist) stood in for a song. Walter just called out let's go with Am, and started playing. That doesn't mean there wasn't a framework for the night, but it was wonderfully loose and immediate. He was also incredibly generous to his bandmates and guests, it felt like a really special performance.

  25. Chaps, I never thought I'd ever see this day, so I think a little celebration is in order. 50 years ago today (just after lunch) I walked into Maurice Plaquet's music shop in Acton, West London, with £22 10/- in my pocket and bought my first bass, a Framus small body Star Bass. 6 weeks of hard graft on my Grandfather's nursery in Kent paid for it. It was easy to play and I played it at home for a year before I could afford an amp. Everything I know today I started on that bass. Unfortunately it began falling apart almost from day one. With an ever increasing number of repairs and mods I played that bass for 2 years and only stopped using it when I joined a pro band. [url="http://s293.photobucket.com/user/chris_b_photo/media/CopyofFSBme2.jpg.html"][/url] I've been a pro bass player twice, made a few records, been to some interesting places, played some great gigs in great bands with some fantastic players. I've also played in places and in bands that weren't any of those things. Ho hum! I have no idea where the time has gone. Anyway, my life started with that bass. Here's to the next 50.

  31. I have mentioned in a number of threads about pedal power supplies why many of them are not fit for purpose. The buzzword is isolated, but in many cases especially for the sub £100 products the isolation is only via the voltage and current protection circuits. True isolation in terms of the power supply means that neither the 0 V or ground connection or the positive voltage, normally 9 V is connected to any other pedals 0 V or 9 V line. If either is connected to another pedals supply there is a good chance of Hugh or buzz caused by earth currents or injected Clock signals. My first idea was to utilise a multi secondary main transformer feeding traditional LDOs. Low Drop Out regulators are integrated circuits that incorporate serious regulator circuits (usually) to obtain a steady and relatively nice free voltage. Well likely looking through the site of an electronic supplier I noticed some compact switch mode supplies that were PCB mounted looking at the data sheets showed that, as with most switch mode supplies, after the initial regulation and smoothing, there was transformer isolation of the mains and secondary sides of the circuit. It was clear that a number of these small circuit blocks could be mounted on a PCB to give a good pedal power supply. After several years of thinking I sat down and designed a PCB to give me four totally isolated 9V supplies. The beauty of these circuit blocks is that the pins are on a standard layout and the original ones from the French company MYRRA and others, including UK’s Vigotronix were interchangeable. In addition, they can be bought in many voltages. Both types can be seen on the complete module above. The MYRRA one are dark red and the Vigortronix are orange. The Vigortronix range are slightly more powerful, giving 3W while the MYRRA ones are 2.5 watt. However, MYRRA do a 5watt one on the same footprint. I have just tested them for the first time and all four are working 1% of the stated 9V off load. I will try them with a load later.

  33. Just spotted the following Ai description on an eBay listing: "Crafted for the bass enthusiast, this 4 string electric bass guitar from Rip offers a versatile foundation for musicians looking to explore the depths of electric bass. Its sleek design and robust construction are geared towards providing a comfortable playing experience and reliable performance. The guitar features a string configuration that is evenly spaced to ensure a balanced sound, perfect for both practise and live settings. With its unbranded mystique, this bass guitar allows you to take centre stage without overpowering your audience, making it an ideal choice for players seeking to make a statement." I know these descriptions are AI generated, but some numpty had to programme it to come up with this tripe to begin with. Beam me up, Scotty.

  34. **Edit! Now £795** Going under the knife in a couple of weeks for wrist decompression surgery so this won't be getting played anytime soon. I'm dropping the price to £795 as it's too nice to be hanging on the wall gathering dust. This is a very playable, comfortable and great sounding bass, grab yourself a bargain!! Continuing the Carpel tunnel induced sale of my long scale basses, here's my rather lovely Maruszczyk Elwood Custom 5 string Bass up for grabs. It's in excellent condition with no dings or gouges and just one barely visible mark on the upper horn which is hidden by the strap. Truss rod is in working order and there are no issues with the bass. Built in 2017, it is 34" scale, 18mm string spacing at the bridge, passive electronics with Haussel pickups and vol/vol/tone controls. Currently strung with Ernie Ball Cobalt flatwound strings for a great old school tone. It weighs 8.58lbs and with Hipshot Ultralite tuners, it balances perfectly. (the original tuner screw holes are slightly visible on the rear of the headstock for full disclosure...) It is finished in a lovely matt transparent red burst with a satin tinted vintage neck. It has straplocks and will be supplied with a leather strap, Maruszczyk branded gig bag and build certificate. I am based in Swindon and would prefer the potential buyer to come and try the bass out but I do travel a bit and I'm not averse to a road trip within reason for petrol money or I can post at buyers expense as a last resort....

  35. It's a GR Bass One 800 but no EQ section - simplicity itself. Perfect for anyone wishing to amplify a modeller/preamp/profiler etc. or you can just plug your bass straight in. Capable of being very very loud and has an excellent DI. Amp is in tip top condition and weighs < 5lbs. https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/pureamp/

  37. If these strings are a serious proposition by Ernie Ball and Pino then it begs the question, what problem are they solving? What advantage do they offer? What was wrong or lacking in some way with the La Bella and Thomastik strings PIno was using previously and how do these new strings remedy that? I've watched the YT video of PIno demoing them and talking about flats in general, but it's all very vague and non-specific about what exactly is special about these strings. To my ears even with PIno playing them they sound like just another new set of flat wounds, with the caveat that new flats don't sound very good to me. Ernie Ball don't make inferior products, I'm sure these are very good strings. However, in marketing terms I suspect what makes them extraordinary is that they cost more.

  38. Simple fact is that in theatres, even more so than clubs & pubs, getting the cleanest, clearest controllable volume is a must. It makes everyone's job so much easier when using IEMs and clean preamp feeds to the desk. All settings can be saved and duplicated each night with just slight adjustments out front on the PA for the room ambience. I speak from experience having done an extensive theatre rock show tour myself with amps and then other theatre shows with silent stages/preamps.

  43. There's so many factors that can result in fret buzz; poor set up, high frets, wonky neck, wrong neck angle, action too low etc. All are pretty much easy to solve. If you're impartial to a bit of sweary media content, fire up You Tube and watch some of Milehouse Studio content from Paul Richards. He's done a series of videos fundamentally about turning around (unloved/bedroom player) guitars into decent playable instruments, using budget tools/gadgets. He makes no bones about the fact that he wants to entertain people 'while they're on the toilet at work' and regardless of the fact that his vernacular and delivery is very amusing, there's a ton of sound content in these videos; it's a lot easier absorbing these than reading how to do stuff.

  49. The Giltrap geezer keeps knocking John's instruments off the shelves in the storage room. I found the whole video slightly sad. John mumbling and grunting away noncommittally. Giltrap slightly too eager with his poodle mullet and 'I'm mates with John Entwistle, me!' The prospect of John alone in a vast country pile with his fake pub in a spare room and a stack of vintage basses hidden away. Talismanic icons of former glories, the lean and hungry years of The Who now decades past. All the time and money in the world, but nothing to do.
