    3rd rehearsal with new vocalist. All original material (heavy metal) and we're tweaking the songs and tuning to best fit his voice and range. We've gone from Eb with our original vocalist (Bruce Dickinson esque tenor) to C# with current vocalist who is a baritone into lower tenor territory. We detuned mid rehearsal as an experiment. I have a pretty light touch anyway, but can't remember the last time I played that softly. I turned my amp up and let it do the hard work. The opening 15 minutes of the Gary Willis instruction video came flooding back. I have to re-work quite a few bass parts to make them less busy. Low tunings require space to stop them sounding mushy.

    Sold!

    Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder precision bass pickup. One of the wires has come loose and needs resoldering. 3 minute job for anyone handy with a soldering iron. Taken from a bitsa P bass, but replaced with a Steve Harris signature pickup, so surplus to requirements. £25 shipped in UK.

    Wiring loom for a precision bass. I believe it's made by Kiogon from this forum. Taken from a bitsa precision fretless I bought from Ebay and now surplus to requirements. £25 shipped in UK.

    Where in Surrey are you?

    The stalwart of 90s rehearsal rooms. It even has a missing slider. I am tempted purely out of nostalgia.

    Great basses. If it's anything like mine, it's hefty and packs a serious punch.

    It was already a good bass when I bought it. The Lindy Fralins have made it that bit better. The bridge pickup sounds lovely.

    Hi, unlined board. Dots are on the fret positions

    Dean Edge 8 string bass in gloss black finish. Made in Korea. Basswood body and a lovely 5 piece maple/walnut neck. Rosewood fingerboard and mother of pearl dot inlays. Soapbar pickups and active preamp with 2 band EQ, blend and volume. Black hardware. This bass is in excellent condition with lovely low action. I fitted a new set of D'Addario strings earlier this year so it really rings. No box, so collection only I am afraid.

    ESP LTD Vintage series J-204 Roadworn Jazz Bass in off-white. Made in Vietnam. The relic treatment on this instrument is v good. The neck especially is really playable with a chunky fingerboard. I believe the body is Alder I've fitted Lindy Fralin pickups. £300 ono. No box, so collection only I am afraid.

    Watching Nova Twins and I have serious 80s Japanese bass guitar and pedal board envy.

    That's the exact issue. Really noticeable on the E even though I play with a reasonably light touch.

    Hi, Has anyone replaced the stock individual saddles with alternatives or fitted a single piece bridge to their ng-3 or combustion? It's the only issue I have with an otherwise amazing instrument.

    https://www.thetubestore.com/12ax7-tube-reviews?12ax7-tube-reviews=undefined&goto=ts12ax7 I stuck some Tung Sols in my GK MB Fusion 500. I definitely notice more gain and midrange.

    Future Nostalgia. Actually, like most modern pop artists, she has a couple of albums and endless remixes.

    The album is full of good bass lines. I had a lot of fun playing along.

    Modern classic.

    Hi. Will take it. PM sent.

    Offensively loud amps. I love mine.

    The seller is in Chesterfield, which has a very striking cathedral.

    I bid up to £200. Someone paid £286. Reasonably good deal, nothing amazing

    Guitar Center are renowned for shockingly badly set up instruments. I've seen US fenders rendered unplayable because of the action. On the flipside, a lot of bass players are just brutes. We did one gig where opening band bassist begged for a quick go on my customised jazz. He absolutely butchered the poor thing
