Thanks for all your "likes" this is without doubt the best constructed and best sounding bass I have owned. But just 2" short for me to feel comfortable. Great for Jazz, chords, tapping and noodling J.S.Bach. 😘 -
Now sold thank you For sale only – Ale Antia - 5 string 32” scale. From the Luthiers site https://aleguitarsluthier.wordpress.com/basses/antia-bass-32-olive-top/ A fantastic piece of craftsmanship with great sustain and a wonderful organic fundamental tone. When I purchased the bass, It was strung E < C I fitted a custom set of Newtone strings, I used it like this for a year and then ordered another set B < G . currently back to E -- C . Both work well on the bass with very little adjustment, both sets will be supplied with the bass. The Richter pre-Amp is very clever and frequency centers are spot on to be really useful live. Front to rear 1. Volume, with pull to go passive. 2. Blend Mag/Piezo. 3. Passive Tone (only works with 1 pulled). 4. Bass/treble boost but is flat with center pulled so you can pre-set levels for a solo passage by pushing in. 5. Mid cut, right where it matters. The action is low and fast, with flat neck profile front to rear. The bass is in excellent order with the normal play wear expected 9.5 /10. The Bass will come with Hiscox case and strap. The Aguilar mag pup has an Olive ramp which I currently have off. I have included some photos from the previous owner due to better camera detail. Prefer pickup and a chat here in West Berkshire but will send within UK. will also meet up within 40 mile radius. The bridge is an ETS bridge and currently set to 18mm the link above says different. Please PM me with any questions. Weight is 8lb 4 oz kitchen scales

Sei Flamboyant Fretless 4 - Sale or Trade - *WITHDRAWN*
deepbass5 replied to Gardenerben's topic in Basses For Sale
You are too close to me to go posting pictures like this on a Sunday Morning, I am just getting over some fretless Gas. But a lovely bass and that looks very much like the Schack preAmp Martin used in his basses, which I love, very versatile and why he used them. All the best with the Sale. -
Hi Guys and Gals. our big band is putting on a charitable concert with a local am-dram choir, and we are looking for arrangements of these parts. Can you help. Many thanks. Putting On The Ritz 42nd Street Cabaret

I went over to the D800 when they came out, was disappointed with its flexibility, over my previous Markbass amp, and the GK MB500fusion i used, sold it and went up to the MESA 800+ which i still have for the extra flexibility but still feel the Markbass are better voiced and louder as a 500 watt to the Mesa 800 ??

On a 5 string I find it is wedged between the B and E muting both when playing A, D, G. I seem to change the angle of it for an occasional E so just muting the B. but it don't move much. Can't say i think about it much anymore The B string is my thumb rest if the part requires a lot of notes on the E string.

Last reduction now to £1300 collected This would allow for the price of a pro fret job as asked by Lowend Soldier in above post. If no takers from the fret-less community, I may well undertake this option to make it more salable and indeed more usable on a regular basis my myself. -
Here is my Bravewood sonic blue fretless, still for sale if interested, It may get a fret job yet which i'm reluctant to do on an Ebony board. But would get more use.

I was just a couple of single pedals guy for years and Like Bassbiscuits i would have them on top of the cab and thump them with my fist. buying batteries was the thing that took me to a pedal board the smallest i could find Just four on there only used each of them about once through the gig, depending on the set I would sometimes not bother with them at all due to fear of degrading my sound. ( Comp, Oct, synth, Chor/Flange, )

Don't think anyone has mentioned Wilton Felder yet was always one of my bass players to watch out for, sax player too

How has playing other instruments helped your bass playing?
deepbass5 replied to BillyBass's topic in General Discussion
ex Trombone player here, Brass Band and Orchestra also played Tuba. It all comes in useful, the theory, playing as part of an ensemble, knowing how light a shade make a piece, learn how to practice properly, stage craft etc etc Playing Trombone in a functions band at a high level was invaluable, sight reading on the fly, respecting other performers on the Bill etc stood me in great sted for running a band for thirty years on Bass . I Think Piano or Guitar would have been more useful to go over to bass but the other lessons i learnt along the way were great. -
Yes always kept them on pedal board below the cab, less hazards to trip over. even if that meant turning away mid number to switch on or off but that was rare.

Like to add some more Brits Paul Geary Steve Lawson Mark King Yolander Charles Nick Beggs Trevor Barry Neil Murray Paul Westwood John McKenzie

Because the human ear response to sound is opposite to the smiley face Eq. So by having a scoop we are correcting our ears inefficiencies. and getting closer to flat, but all our ears are different and we loose top end as we get older, So some amps have a bright switch for old bass players Just close your eyes and twiddle till it sounds good 👍

I think i would add Justification as another key stage. I always manage to justify to myself why i need the amp or Bass and why my existing gear is not quite in the zone for the music i am playing at the moment.
