    The Blackstar mini bass always looked quite nifty to me: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Blackstar-Carry-On-Travel-Bass-Guitar-ST-White/5GY5

    It’s a copy of Mark Sandman’s bass, which was a 4 string with only 2 strings on it, so it’s quite accurate in that regard.

    I have a 2011 SR5 and the three sounds are quite distinctive. When the switch is back toward the bridge, the pickup coils are wired in parallel. The sound is slightly scooped or hollow. This is the classic Stingray tone as produced by the 4 strings. Toward the neck gives you the coils in series, a powerful punchy tone that I find the most useful one. And on post 2008 models, the middle position is series wiring plus a filter, which to my ears rolls off the top end and slightly accentuates the bottom. It’s a sort of vintage series sound. There’s no single coil mode after 2008.

    Mark Sandman tuned his in a fifth, D and A, and used a slide. A fantastic, unique sound and brilliant band.

    There is a Sire 6-string lefty. Quite pricey by their standards. https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-f10-left-handed-6-string-natural-satin/

    Sad to hear this. I used to frequent their Llanishen store in my school lunch hours. Another Cardiff store I remember was the Sound Centre, who had a white lefty Rickenbacker bass in their window for several years circa 1980. Unfortunately I had no way of raising the required £400.

    Fat Beams will retain the feel of your round core Sunbeams and give you more of the sound you’re after. I loved them on my Fender Jazz Bass.

    That’s normal for the older Fender shaped T models. The redesign moved the battery box to behind the lower horn. That happened in 2015, I think. Here’s an example of the old model: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/sandberg-california-jm4-green-metallic-2009-pre-owned/

    John East 4-knob pre amp? Supposed to give you the original MM 2 band tones plus a sweepable mid. https://www.east-uk.com/product/mmsr-4-knob-3-band/?v=7885444af42e

    For sale is my Tone Hammer 500. This is a great amp with a warm, tube-like tone. I bought it new about 8 years ago and it's had regular, though not heavy use - approx. one gig a month - and always been well looked after. In great condition, with one minor scratch on the top, seen in the photos. Packed in the original box, with mains lead and instructions. Complete with the Aguilar carrying bag in very good condition. £500 including UK postage.

    Decent discount on this Kala mini solid body bass, should anyone be in the market: https://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/shop-by-size/bass/kala-ka-sb-tb-fs-l-left-handed-solid-body-4-string-fretted-ubass-tobacco-burst-w-gigbag

    Viktor bought my Source Audio C4. Great communications, fast payment and overall a smooth and enjoyable transaction. Trade with confidence!

    For sale is my Line 6 HX One. This offers the full set of approximately 250 Helix effects in one compact pedal, but only allows the use of one effect at a time. It's very easy to use, with a well thought out UI. Editing, saving and recalling presets is simple. The Flux function allows you to switch between two sets of parameters for a loaded preset, which gives more flexibility the you might expect. There's also a basic but effective tuner, accessible from the foot switches. You can control it via MIDI, and also connect additional external foot switches, although I have never explored those features myself. I used this as a single pedal for quite a few gigs where I just needed a chorus, distortion or octaver for one or two songs. Others use it as a replacement for several rarely used pedals on a larger board. I was impressed enough by the Helix effects to upgrade to a HX Stomp, hence the sale. In excellent condition. Supplied in box, with power supply. £170 including UK postage.

    For sale is my Keeley Bassist, a highly rated, transparent and easy to use compressor. Excellent condition. Supplied in box, £120 including UK postage.

    There are some genuine looking reviews on Facebook, all positive. I think they sound interesting, maybe worth a punt for something of moderate value.
  16. pineweasel
    Yes, it is a classic. I’ve just discovered they are touring, playing the album live to celebrate its 25th anniversary, with a few UK dates coming up. https://kruderdorfmeister.com

    Joel bought a pedalboard from me. Great comms, swift payment, and overall a smooth and easy transaction - many thanks!

    I've had them on a few basses and found them very reliable. This video is worth watching for installation and setup tips:

    For sale is my Source Audio C4 pedal, an amazingly flexible modular synthesiser in a box. 6 presets are accessible from the pedal itself, and up to 128 by connecting a MIDI controller. You can create preset patches, or download from the thousands that users make available online with the free Neuro app for phones and PCs/Macs. Excellent for filters, pitch based effects, huge synth bass sounds and much more. The pedal is in great condition, supplied in its box with power supply and USB cable. £160 including UK postage.

    It’s 1.5mm for my 2020 TM5. The bridge is pretty straightforward, I found. My only tip is when adjusting intonation, detune the string just enough so there’s some resistance as you push the saddle. This makes it easier to make small adjustments.

    I would have thought the annoying bit of the Amplug is the necessity of a wired connection to the iPad, as it only as an aux input, not Bluetooth. FWIW I had a Waza Air for a while and didn’t like the bulky headphones, large, non-folding transmitter, and expense.
  22. pineweasel
    NUX Mighty Plug Pro or Boss Katana Go are both great options. As stated, you’ll have headphones wired to the unit, but that still leaves you totally mobile. And you can use whatever headphones you like.

    I saw him playing with Wilko Johnson quite a few times in the 80s and he always played his Alembic then.

    I don't know how you'll be able to find the mic, but the bass is made by Serdal Dag in Istanbul https://www.instagram.com/p/CQV4PchlFv0/

    For sale is my NUX Mighty Plug headphone amp. This is a great little plug style headphone amp, very convenient for practising. It has a range of amp and speaker sims (including 3 bass amps), plus numerous effects, which you can use to create 7 presets that you can cycle through with the big button on top. It's configurable via the NUX Mighty Amp app on your phone or PC (or the third party Mightier Amp). It also has Bluetooth audio input so you can play along with songs from your phone. The battery gives about 5 hours playing time. No box or lead - you'll need a micro-USB for charging. £35 including UK postage.
