I’m not going to judge, but yes, yes it is

So you’re playing one of Nates old basses through his old amp?

do you still work in the basement?

It’s nice to have talented friends who do things like this. (My contribution was handwriting and a bit of design .) Internet stalking suggests the bass player may be @golltoppr who is on here

so about £1800 plus taxes/import... around £2.25k all in? Cheaper than fender custom shop!

cheers - you mentioned $2249 new earlier- I'm guessing USD$ is that including taxes and import etc?

I had 8 once with a acg preamp. No switch though. what preamp is it? and pups changed too? Edit - hold on that’s the sire not the bass collection?!

That’s a lot of knobs

For the rest of us who only see pictures on line of them: why moollon? And why over any of the other similar options out there?

Ah you’ve still got it, I thought that got sold. I thought he reached perfection with the L1000?

G&L? Edit :no you've got an SB1??

Who owns a Roland D-Bass 210 combo? next question... did I sell it to you? I just found the manual and for the life of me can't remember who I sold it too... about 5-6 years ago. YOu've probably figured out how it works by now, but if you (or anyone else with the combo who wants it) would like it shoot me a PM and I can stick it in the post. .

good thread to share this that one of the members of the forum is selling. Moollon jazz... i want it! (but can't afford before I sell something)

high praise!

More pics!

My findings this week... the stomp is awesome. Rochester comp into svt4 - I don’t even know how to optimise the comp really, but it’s transformed a bottom heavy and thumpy sounding Lakland 55-94 its not even doing anything that special. i love the way I can tailor a rig to a bass. I don’t really use it for more than that at the moment but it’s fantastic!!

+1

nice - I was enjoying looking at that when it was in the "for sale" section - I'm glad it sold!!

I’m also building a bench. There’s at least 7 others too!

Could you record the sound With no mistakes and then mime along with your smile on And splice together?

I have no problem with a finger a fret on a 34inch scale, I’ve been doing it on a 35inxh scale without thinking since November and it was only yesterday where I was doing something Fast that was having me stretch Over two frets that I noticed the extra scale length.

My mate from church has an original Hammond organ. He went to the professional electronics expert in town to get it serviced. He did his thing, It was ok but still not 100%. Then this old guy turned up at church to help the leaders for a few months. He asked to have a look at the organ, stripped it down and fixed it. It turned out he used to build them for a living, and now restoration was a hobby of his. The professional knew the basics and could do a decent enough job. But their expertise was in electronics generally and they would work on anything. He knew a lot about a lot, but not to a massive depth. The somebody we knew nothing about had one very small window of expertise and knew a massive amount, at great depth, about one make of organ.

I've no idea where Canada sits, but having had flatmates who played in worship bands in the US I can compare it to there... typically we don't do mega church as much, most churches will be small, and less professional in terms of worship bands etc. Typically if you're good, and part of the church you will have no problem getting in. You possibly don't even have to be good, but there's a culture of being part of where you serve. I know my friends in the US used to get paid and play in lots of different churches, I'm not sure that happens in the UK. So "performance quality" may be down, but you gain things with a lower key community approach too... That said all cities and a lot towns will have a bigger church that models itself on the bigger Hillsong style big church with a focus on performance - so if thats your thing that's there. I've got friends at Emmanual church in brighton, but beyond that I don't know the south coast - but a "more mature, progressive Christian who doesn't like to listen to fundamentalist dogma being proliferated any longer" - that's probably so subjective to what you're looking for I've no idea! There will be something for you, whether the church that fits where you're at had great worship playing too... or the place with great worship fits with you I don't know! There's probably less of a cultural gap between 'progressive' and 'fundamentalist' in the UK compared to north america, and what you mean by those terms, and ones like evangelical, might be understood contextually quite differently

I like this thread
