CHARLIE-BROWNE

Hi there! - is this passive AND active or all active thanks !

be great to get a precise weight as I am a bit of a weakling - thanks

No but I know someone that does …. 

Thanks for that worth a try  

Can anyone help me diagnose why I get no tone control from the 3rd knob on my Atelier z - EMG pick ups work perfectly on the other two knobs ( vol for each pick up )  all joints are sound solder - I’m not very techie so it may be obvious to someone more knowledgeable - TIA! 

Hardly a mark and hardly used as I have a VS4 and Atelier - best colour imo! A lot of bass for the money 

Thank you - I’m a she though ( not that it makes any difference to anything !) hence short scale for my small mitts ! 

@scrumpymikeThank you so much for a trouble and hassle free transaction when  I bought your Atelier - arrived well-packed and as described - was off that very night to the studio where it laid down the thumpiest of thumping bass lines to Dua Lipa's Love Again - a cover of course ! lol thank you highly recommend

How do you like the Chromes on your Mustang? Are you happy with them?

Yes I am - they take some of that zing out of the fender tone which suits me and they have a  nice smooth feel 

went for some D'Addario Chromes in the end as recommended by Strings Direct too

Interestingly short scale would be too short so that saved a mistake need medium scale 34 inch length  to go through the body !

Thanks all

Fender sell the JMJ Mustang with fender flats as standard. Think that tells you all. 

 

Fender flats are high tension on full scale, however on short scale they're more like medium tension, and sound fantastic. Pop on a set of fender flats, they're reasonably priced compared to other flatwound brands too.

that's really useful to know thanks ! Just wading through the types and sizes as we speak!

Hi all 

I have some labella flats on my Sandberg and I love the feel and sound of them

Do they translate to short scale as I have bought a Mustang and usually clean them down and add new strings so might as well have a go 

Do they complement the short scale and what are the choices / watch outs / considerations ?

thanks all ,much appreciated

Thanks all for your replies and helpful advice - I am going Mac / Logic for now based on the general consensus and wider reading thanks again !

thanks for this - a lot of sense in these - I am gravitating to toughing it out with the general Mac nav and going the  Logic Pro X route as I am familiar with the general way of workflowing that -   its not as expensive as I thought either ! thanks all !

I only use a Mac for this purpose and find them less easy to generally navigate than a PC finding files and programmes etc 

Thanks for taking the time to reply folks - so .... to clarify.... I feel I need to learn a daw that’s more professionally recognised/ featured than GarageBand but don’t like using Macs - the logical transfer of my GarageBand knowledge would be Logic Pro x but that’s only Mac based - so in the ideal world looking for a Windows based daw with a huge array of amps and instruments and musician centric -hope that makes sense -  thanks! 

hi - It doesn't have as many sounds / virtual amps etc but other than that its a fair point ! I just think I want to spend some time getting to know an industry standard DAW as  when I collaborate GB is perceived as a bit of a toy?

I did that too had a top notch partscaster made from mostly Fender USA parts (apart from the Gibson knobs) and top pick ups - NR has got to be one of the most prolific and talented musicians, writer, producer of the century!  The Hitmaker has spawned $millions of music !!! you can see mine on the profile pic 

Hi - I have grown out of Garageband (although I think the quality is amazing - here is a track I have written and played on  - not me singing though https://emastered.com/profile/CharlieBrowne/track/1618264584-h8GtIjW)  and I am not sure where to go next in terms of a DAW - Logic pro is the obvious contender but doesn't allow me to say goodbye to the Mac which I cant get along with and I have soooo tried. I'm not a technical obsessive and wont be sitting there for months trying to master every feature but want a great quality sound and able to select lots of instruments and amps from the DAW. What say you all from your experience (Ableton, Pro tools etc)  ? I am a musician more than a technician if that helps. Thank you for reading / replying

hey - is this a very heavy bass ? thanks   

If whoever owns this bass or its twin wants to sell it let me know lol

I am a guitarist that occasionally fills in when the bassist is away but not sufficiently often to warrant keeping several bass amps - hence for sale 

Sounds great  and looks particularly cool - has wheels and handles to save your back and a solid grille - punchy and growly if needed with a heap of options for tone

Original purchase price was around the £500 mark and there is some tech spec here

Obv its a collect only job due to weight and size

Would also trade for a Sire JB or similar value for money Jazzer for those times when I stand on the stage with 2 strings less than I am used to 

hi there did you sell this please ?

Hi do you still have this and does it have a gig bag or case thanks

Hi all

Lots of requests via PM and on here for a price and whereabouts in the world I am so........

I am in North East Lincolnshire not a million miles away from Grimsby so can get to various service stations in Doncaster Leeds Sheffield Hull and so forth with ease

Price wise I am thinking of pitching at £799 and see where we go from there - new Shukers in this style are between £1400-£1600 and there is one on the site at present for £2500

I may just may consider a 6 string trade but it would have to be a nice one and a good deal as I need some cash out of the deal or there is no point selling it!
