Hey everybody! So, I currently have an AWESOME rig consisting of an Aguilar AG700 and a Vanderkley 2x12, but for some reason right now I really want a Rumble 500 combo (probably with an ext. Cab).... ..... Am I nuts?! The attraction is that the combo would be smaller and more portable for practice and small pubs, there's a built in drive channel, they look freaking cool, and I could free up a bit of cash that's tied up in my current rig. There's a bloke not far away selling one of the combos, but can't decide what I should do.... Any experiences /thoughts /opinions welcome.

Duff McKagan for me, GnR and Duff's sound and style were hugely influential on me as a young bass player, and to this day I still love that crisp, bright, punchy sound of stainless roundwounds. I guess Rotosound formed a huge part of THAT sound that I love too!

Hi folks! Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but let me know if not. I have recently acquired a very tidy Yamaha BBN5 as a project bass that I want to refinish, and was hoping for a bit of advice from those moor experienced in these sort of things..... 1) should I strip the old finish off completely, back to the wood, and then coat with sanding sealer before painting, or just abrade the existing finish and paying over the top? Existing finish is a kind of brown stain, doesn't look too thick. 2) I want a matte or satin finish over the colour (which is a metallic car paint): should I be looking at polyurethane, nitrocellulose or something else? 3) not sure if I need a base coat under the main colour, but I guess it would be better. Thanks for your help! 😊👍

Thanks for the info, they look good, but I'll see if they have a split shaft version. Do you have some Delano JJ pickups for sale?
-
AxesRus only seem to have budget blend pots unfortunately, no CTS or Bourns....
-
Thank you! Just realised that's where I bought pots and stuff from years ago!
-
Thanks man, will try to find them!
-
Thanks, an interesting idea! However, I bought this bass after both of my (active) basses went tits-up at Friday's gig, so I'm keen to keep the wiring as simple and uncomplicated as possible! 😂
-
Very interesting, and I hadn't realised that centred, both pickups are only at 50%, but it makes sense of each extreme is 100% for that pickup. With VVT though, does the dip in output with both pickups at 100% equate to the same thing? Would be easier to go VVT as I can just buy a jazz bass wiring kit!

Hi guys, just bought an old Yamaha BB5N as a backup bass (and for a bit of a project 😁). It's a JJ config. I want to rewire it using better pots, etc (e.g. CTS), and I want a blend pot rather than two volumes. I assumed I want 250k pots for the vol and tone, but I noticed some people use 500k.... which should I be looking at? Also struggling to find a suitable dual blend pot in the UK, can anyone point me in the right direction? Finally, is a 0.47u orange drop cap the best choice? Many thanks! 😁👍 PS: If anyone has any 5 string hum cancelling jazz pickups for sale let me know!

Open to offers folks, need to get this moved! 🙂👍

Hey man! Yeah I A/B'd both for a good while before deciding (I'm terribly indecisive anyway), and although they were both good, the Shuttle hit the spot better for me. It's got more clean POWER for me, without getting as mushy (not that streamliner could be described as a mushy amp!), but equally you can bump the input gain, lows/ low mids, dial back the treble, and get a nice old school grind going on. Very versatile amp imho, the better of the two if getting a rock solid clean/neutral sound is important to you IMHO. Let me know if you're interested! 🙂👌

Price drop to £450 ono! 😁👍

Hi Steve, do you know what the weight is please mate? -
Plus the cost of the ultra lights. Besides which, who is gonna be looking at the back of the headstock? I believe the OP said he could supply the original tuners too, resolving the 'hole' issue. Secretly a bit gutted this is under offer, it looks sweeeeeet! 🙂👌 -
Ah good point, I assumed the 0.9lb quoted was supposed to be 9lb. Does look a cracking bass, despite the weight!
-
9lb = 4.082kg.
-
I believe this is the same bass I've seen on Facebook, and the OP told me it's around 5kg, which is massively heavy for me. I prefer 4kg or under ideally.
-
Would love one of these, just wish they were lighter!

Hi folks, For sale is my immaculate Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, which I've owned since new, and despite having gigged it extensively, I've really looked after it and it's in fantastic condition. I upgraded the stock Ruby 12AX7 for a Tung-sol, which is a better quality tube and made a difference to my ears. These are highly regarded amps, and rightly so. They are generally very neutral and transparent, capable of incredible clean sounds, but also thanks to the tube preamp and parametric mid range, you can get some nice old school grind buy boosting the input gain and low mids too. A very versatile amp indeed! All the connections you could possibly want, massive power, and very lightweight and compact. Full specs here: http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2824&sid=394&cid=95 Any questions, please let me know. Courier delivery for mainland UK can be arranged at cost. Thanks for looking! 😁👍
