FT: MTD 535-24 + Pavel Jazz Pro Deluxe 6 = Fodera NT

This was myself first 6, same colour and a great bass. Tbh I'm not sure I really knew what I had back then but I would get compliments on the sound from non bass players which I would now consider the gold standard of positive feedback. Re the specs I'm not sure but I would guess at 34 scale and 19mm spacing based on my recollection. A very nice 6 and a good example of what is good about bolt on necks. X

So I acquired this from Ville a while back. It is a very nice bass but ultimately not for me, I think in the main due to the longer scale length but in any case.... I've not really gigged the bass so I'll refer back to previous comments from Ville and Mikkel (hope you don't mind guys) regarding the instrument: --------------- [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mikkel listed the specs as follows:[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]'36" scale and 24 frets. Adjustable stringspacing 20-18mm.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mahogany body in a flamed maple sandwich.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]5pc maple neck with wenge (i think!) stripes. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nice fat ebony fingerboard.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Celinders famous humbuckers. Splittable hum/singlecoil. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Active greengrove preamp. Master vol with push/pull active/passive, 2x Vol with push/pull coil tap (one for each PU), bass boost/cut, treble boost/cut.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gotoh hardware.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This bass has been played. And the finish reflects that. Frets are in great condition.'[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This bass is buzzfree for me at about 2,5 mm under E string at 12th fret, the rest of the strings set accordingly for even feel. So I don't know if that is ultra low action or not.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This bass is tied with my custom built 6 and the Fodera AJ 6 contrabass guitar I had for the most even feel and volume from B to C I've ever had. Even the C string has real authority to push through a 20-piece horn band.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mikkel's opinion on the tone:[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]'The sound is MASSIVE. Must be heard to be believed. First time I heard this bass was in a big live concert where the guy playing it was playing through a simple DI and straight in the board. The bass sounded like it has been recorded and mastered by one of the worlds best sound engineers. Focused, punchy and warm lows and a crystal clean treble without being harsh.'[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I would add that the B string works great for slap, tonally and with regard to feel. And there's a real clarity to the B string that I've had from nothing else except the AJ contrabass guitar. Lots of basses have B's with authority, but not clarity, here you get both.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]---------[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So what I would like to add in the interests of full disclosure is that the bass is worn as per the comments above. Nothing major, it has just been well played so is not an exhibition piece. I'm reflecting this in my pricing.[/font][/color] [attachment=245357:Celinder002.jpg] [attachment=245358:IMG_5393_zpsxpkweqcv.jpg] [attachment=245359:Celinder012.jpg] [attachment=245360:Celinder014.jpg] [attachment=245361:Celinder016.jpg] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]At the moment the bass is with Martin Petersen at the Gallery in Camden for some set up and tweaking, it should be available pretty soon.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Sale is preferred but happy to consider trades for this, a decent P bass is probably top of the hit list at this point in time.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]x[/font][/color]

Thanks so far. It is a bit of a challenge, the pjb gear eg cub is definitely the size and weight I'm after but I do have the sense that it may not be loud enough. This seems to be the gist of most feedback I can find. Really interested in this so please keep your thoughts coming. The other option of course is micro head and cab. Perhaps not quite as convenient but probably the answer to the volume?

Considering a micro ish combo. Something that will cover home use but also be light and convenient enough to pick up and take to jams or the like. Go bc!

SOLD:: Demeter Compulator , Tecamp Dreambuzz

Yeah I think so. But twin pre and power amps so you can run it many different ways to suit. Stereo, biamp, separate basses etc. Tbh I rarely use that feature, sometimes I bridge the power amps for bigger gigs. Great amp, not sure what the whole richard bona falling out thing was all about...
-
Been using the bonafide for a few years now. Light, flexible and always sounds good. Bass guitar and double bass. Plenty of power where needed. Nothing not to like really...

Going back to the question of just picking one it would be the subterranea for me. I agree 100% though (and I checked, that's all of the agreement) that it really depends on the application. Best to buy lots of different ones.

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
andybassdoyle replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Well that - is a very good question. I guess like all this stuff it's horses for roundabouts. I've had two filters for a while now for this reason, one for sweeps and one for lead/lines. Mainly because I've always found myself hunting for the sweet spot on the sweeps if I try and use the same filter for both. At the moment I'm favouring the Xero for the sweeps and the Moog for lines but I have had it the other way around. The Moog without a doubt is phat and warm and sounds great with the right kind of signal driving it. The Xero is a lot 'wetter' to my ears and has a bit more of a synthy edge to it. I've also found the Xero a bit OTT on 4 pole which is where I prefer my line sounds. -

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
andybassdoyle replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Here's my latest iteration. Be really interested in any feedback folks. Signal chain is: Ls2 Oc2 Subterranea Fimpact Syb5 Pitchfork Beef bag (meatbox) Freq box Orbit gated fuzz Frantabit Lpf Mf trem Xerograph Volume pedal Then back to the ls2 Finally nova repeater which lives off the board The reflex controls the pitchfork, syb5, freq box, mf trem and Xerograph (via the broadcast) [attachment=244303:20170429_141926.jpg] Very interested on thoughts re the chain.. -
Refining the menagerie of pedals. I've enjoyed these three but for various reasons I'm not using them and I doubt that will change. First up Line 6 tap tremolo. My first foray into trems. I've been really impressed with how this sounds but also how much you can do with a trem - really underrated. Selling this one as I want something where I can control the speed with an exp rather than the tap (which is ok but just not my bag). £55 NOPE - NOW £40 TOTAL MEGANUTS BARG [attachment=243335:20170418_134712.jpg] Zoom MS60B SOLD. Great multi effect pedal - great because most of the sounds are decent and usable on a gig plus you can tweak key settings on the fly with the control knobs. This is always good. Too complex for me though - I thought I would use this as an easy setup for jams or whatever. Turns out I was mistaken. Again. £50 [attachment=243337:20170418_134755.jpg] FX72 flange machine SOLD. Nice flange but something I've never been able to integrate into my sounds/headspace. Comes with a power adapter so you can use with a standard 9v psu. £50 [attachment=243336:20170418_134730.jpg] Prices include postage (the line 6 is a little heavier hence the extra). Trem and FX72 come in the original box, not so the MS60B. Cash is king as always however if you have some random musical artefact that you want to trade for one or all of these you could do worse than hit me up. History suggests I will probably trade for anything with a few lights and knobs on it. x
