topo morto

The OP has presumably paid his dues to BC to put up the listing... and who knows, there may be a hygiene-conscious effect lover out there for whom this is a dream come true!

If this doesn't sell I am going to put it under a bed until I have the spare cash to get it refinished in Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock.

It doesn't matter - as a bass player I do it standing up with a strap on.

Yes, and you [i]still [/i]don't get any sex.

Speak for yourself.

Start you own band......and call it 'Erection Rejection'.

I'm going to shave my balls too, just in case I get turned down for having a hairy scrotum.
[/quote] This might make your male member look longer though, which could be grounds for rejection in itself.

Went for £1,270.00 - seems on the high side..?

How tall are you? If it's like, 4,2 metres then they may have a point.

One thing you might want to check is how many simultaneous outputs your old iMac could realistically push... I don't know what the deal is there, only ever do stereo in / out myself.

I'm currently just weighing up the idea of adding an analogue signal chain to my setup. I've always mixed solely 'in the box' and much of my analogue curiosity is likely down to the perceived 'grass being greener' and me just liking knobs and switches to play with.

There's a lot to be said for having physical controls - we are physical beings, with bodies and hands after all. The summing mixer just seems a bit anaemic. Why not dive in properly and get a nice-sounding analogue desk with EQ, proper faders, and all that... (now dead cheap second hand...) that way you get a proper physical mixing experience rather than a token extra D/A A/D step? Just another idea for the brew...

... all of which allegedly preserves the clarity/fidelity of each track far better than 'summing' the final mix in digital format.
[/quote]

Whoever said it would preserve the fidelity of each track better than a (properly-working) digital system is your enemy.

Clarity is more subjective, but...

I use saturation plug-ins instead.
[/quote]

+1 - There's something to be said for nice-sounding analogue but that nice sound isn't magic, it's due to effects that if understood can be replicated 'in the box'.

You've got 4 outputs on your focusrite, each of which could be an input to one of the mixer channels.

The whole activity really sounds rather bogus though.

Perhaps start by just going bass > mixer (no amp), then adding the laptop (maybe without its power supply plugged in, as they can cause odd noises) then take it from there.

What was the laptop complaining about?

Personally I don't see the problem - I like a good go over with a stiff brush at moulting time.

Seeing all these from G4M does put me off buying anything from them... I mean, how does [i]that [/i]happen?

The ticket on it says '62 Vintage Precision bass, so a reissue of some kind.

Reminds me of these for some reason

I'm getting some nice double-bassy tones from picking over the fingerboard. It has a nice evenness across the fretboard as well...

A bit late to the party, but having a go on one of these - fretless one with the La Bella Black Nylons. The sound is really interesting, sort of a combination of the woodiness of an upright but the sustain of a bass guitar. I agree that the pickups aren't tonally that different but they have a different feel, the nanomag having a softer attack and more bloom while the nanoflex is more punchy and detailed. I agree some of the aspects of the build seem a bit cheap but the top and instrument as a whole looks really nice. Overall I think it works well as a fretless.

Very bubbly!
