  1. So I have just seen that Bass Direct have a fretless one of these for sale second hand for £399 excluding case or gig bag, so I am still a bit off with my valuation. Final price reduction £450 including the case (which has to be worth £50 alone). If she doesn’t sell at this price then I guess she’s destined to stay with me 😎
  2. That’s a wonderfully simple take on the classic B Bender which seems to necessitate hollowing out the whole guitar. Nice score, now get those Clarence White licks practiced 😎
  3. Funnily enough, I was in comms with Martin on this very topic earlier this week as I am interested in purchasing one of these and also local to Martin (he’s done quite a few repairs for me over the years, and I was an early tester of YI200). He tells me that “I’ve got the design sorted just working on production of the chassis. Had a breakthrough this month and will be able to progress with several new projects now. Will give you a shout asap”. So it sounds like things are moving forward.
  4. how good does the Fender Marcus Miller bass sound? Its the standout for me from that list, the boy Miller certainly knows something about tone 😎
  5. The Tony Franklin has his signature engraved into the neck plate, but it wouldn’t be a massive job to change for a standard F neck plate if it bothered you.
  6. I can only echo what Lozz says about the dispersion, the 21012 was a room filler. I don’t recall mine being excessively middley but then again mine was one of Jorg’s cabs fitted with Eminence delta lite 10’s and delta LF 12. Sadly, redundancy meant I had to let the cab go, but I’d have another one of the 21012 with the side firing 12 in a heartbeat.
  7. i had the BD121 and found it was noisy when run on batteries but almost silent on a power supply. I didn’t use it for long before ‘upgrading’ to the real thing which sits proudly on my pedal board and will probably be there the longest of any pedal.
  8. I’ll chuck in my two’penneth with a vote for the Fender Tony Franklin fretless P bass for no other reason than it’s a fantastic fretless P bass, so much so that mine has become my no1 go to bass.
  9. I use reverb on my NS EUB but you need a reverb with an eq as you really need to try to emulate the ‘abbey road’ technique of cutting the hi’s and lo’s on the reverb channel.
  10. I used to have a rack with a SWR Grand Prix (1U) preamp, Sampson rack light/conditioner, rack tuner, Alesis 3630 compressor, and Aphex exciter, and a separate rack for the power amp. All totally superfluous but it looked pretty with all the lights on an flashing etc 😂 I still have a smaller rack based setup with the SWR Grand Prix preamp, the SWR Marcus Miller preamp (currently for sale on here), and the SWR Amplite power amp, but it doesnt get a lot of use hence the sale of the MM pre.
  11. I’m using the EBS Stanley Clarke pre as I double between NS EUB and fretless bass but it’s probably a bit overkill for what you want. Failing this, keep an eye out for a Radial Tone Bone. They come up on here quite regularly and are an excellent preamp with DI for EUB.
  12. Watched the video and I think its a little strange that two of the amp/cab sims are Ampeg, yet they have modelled the SansAmp (SVT in a tin) as one of the drives?
  13. When I had mine, the amplified volume and tone was very dependent upon how tight the two Allen key bolts were either side of the bridge that hold the transducer mounting up against the underside of the plate on which the bridge sits. Mine was damaged in transit to me so this could be a result of that, but I found there was a sweet spot between volume and tone and the tension of these bolts.
  14. Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise and it got me thinking of those warm summer days that are just around the corner, sitting in the garden noodling away on an acoustic bass 😎 If this was my only acoustic bass she would be going nowhere but she’s not, and as she’s probably the more saleable of the two I own, she’s up for grabs. If you fancy playing alfresco with no hassles, this is the bass for you.
  15. So I plugged this in tonight to test the 1x15 cab I was selling before sale and I might be making a mistake here 🤔 I’ll leave it another couple of weeks and then withdraw if there is no interest.
