    For sale is my left-handed Bassix Bass Master Supertech electric upright. It is a 3/4 scale bass with a compact hollow body (so you get some quiet acoustic sound from it) and a magnetic pickup with onboard active preamp, which delivers some fairly convincing tones. I bought this from the original owner a few years ago, intending to learn upright bass, but I’ve realised that it’s quite a lot of work that I simply don’t have time for, so it's not been used much. It’s in good condition, with one small scuffed area in the finish, on the back near the controls, and the remains of a piezo bug pickup that the previous owner stuck on. This could probably be removed with some sort of solvent but I’ve never risked it. It comes with a fitted soft case and a custom stand. More pictures can be seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5rol7d92aqc9qy7/AADEYVq67AJBiWmMFi5cXOIga?dl=0 Collection only due to size and shape. Price is a firm £300.

    I found turning treble down, and boosting mid and bass got me in the ballpark. But the old 3 band EQ won't really do it. I'm looking forward to trying a Stingray Special, with its revoiced EQ, when they eventually get some left-handers out.

    It looks to me as if the JMJ has Hipshot tuners to start with? And the corresponding extender is the BT7? The extenders are built using the tuners so I would expect it to be possible. You could confirm by emailing Hipshot.

    You could try round core strings. I've always found these to be more compliant under the fingers. Something like DR Sunbeams.

    I’ve only ever got around 5 hours from my Bighead.

    *** NOW SOLD *** For sale is my RJT60B, Revelation's take on the Fender VI bass. Bought new around 3 years ago, this is a lot of fun to play, although I think of it as a deep guitar rather than a bass. Condition is as new, with just a minor finish blemish on the rear, in the belly cut, which was there when I bought it. Supplied with a rather flimsy gig bag which is at least the correct size, and the tremolo arm (which is the only lefty compromise, being a poorly bent RH arm). Collection preferred although postage is possible at extra cost. More photos here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s4qpef55viw1o7d/AADgLOXvCufZU2_LGWo73KBya?dl=0

    BASS NOW SOLD Here's my Harley Benton Progressive 5-string bass, bought new as a "Deko" from Thomann a few years ago. It's in good shape with no obvious Deko faults. Everything works as it should, though it would probably benefit from a careful setup Collection preferred but I could post this at additional cost as I still have the packaging.

    Cheap short scale fun! For sale is my Harley Benton PB Shorty Deko, purchased new as a "Decorative Instrument" from Thomann a few years ago. I put some Chromes on it, played it for a few weeks then put it in storage. The only Deko flaws I found were a slightly warped pickguard and one of the tuner bushes not fully inserted. There's some minor corrosion on the pickguard screws but other than that is in good shape. Collection preferred but I do have packaging, so it could be posted at additional cost.

    I have the same setup. I usually use both for gigs because they just sound great as a pair:

    I bought a Revelation RJT60B on a whim, and I'd agree with that assessment. Forget finger style bass playing, slap etc. It feels like a guitar to play, and I can't help adding some reverb and playing open chords on it. That said, played with a pick and eq'd appropriately it can fulfil the bass role if needed.

    I've had a few extenders and that plate is always flat so it fits flush against the headstock. It's hard to imagine how it has come to be curved like that. I suppose it's possible that it's within manufacturing tolerances. Have you asked Hipshot customer support about it? They are usually helpful. You could dismantle the Extender and try straightening it if you have a vice.

    Bridge, oil & wax neck and metal battery cover place it between 1993 - 1996. Looks good to me but I agree £1500 is a bit much. You can find 3EQ Stingrays for a lot less, and there's no particular benefit to getting an older one.

    Paul Webb released a rather good album last year as Rustin Man called Drift Code. Nothing like Talk Talk and not much fancy bass in evidence, but well worth a listen.

    Footloose always gets a good reception. Fun to play too

    Try contacting the UK Music Man distributors. They’ve sold me spare parts in the past http://stringsandthings.co.uk

    Slade, Wizzard, Shakin' Stevens, Mariah Carey, Mud, Band Aid and Wham are all in the set list for next weekend. Slade and Shaky are quite fun to play but the rest are dull... I did get to play Christmas Wrapping last year. It went down very well but we don't have our female singer anymore, so it got dropped

    Great band. I saw them play on the Boys and Girls in America tour, they were excellent live. They come over here once a year and do a weekend of gigs in London - the next ones are in March 2020.

    You can share files with anyone by sending them a link, as far as I know
  19. pineweasel
    You have to stop sharing the original folder, then it will disappear from your Dropbox.
  20. pineweasel
    You're using a shared folder in Dropbox, so anything the owner copies into it gets copied to your Dropbox too. If your drummer just sends a link to the folder you can choose which individual files you want, and can download them or copy to your Dropbox selectively, and delete them when you want.

    Thanks for this. I'm very happy with my TH500 and two 1x12s at present, but I'm playing small venues. I do like the minimalist design of the BB800.
  22. pineweasel
    Does anyone know how the Quilter stacks up against the Tone Hammer 500?
  23. pineweasel
    Curious, I've had mine for years and it has two, one on the back panel and one on the RH panel

    I've not seen the Stealth before, but it looks like an evolution of the Bass Sleeve, with the large pocket replaced with discreet, smaller compartments for accessories. I've used a Sleeve for a few years now and it's a great bag. Instrument protection is good and it's comfortable to carry. I do find large Fender style tuners will be nudged out of tune as there's no depth to the bag but that's not a big problem. I also wish it had better protection on the base for when you put it down, but mine is lasting well nevertheless. If you're happy with the more limited storage I would think the Stealth would be a good buy.

    He's played drums for some big names, such as Donny McCaslin, so he's no slouch
