    Now £550 Bought from Bass Direct on NYE so only 3 months old. I went to get a cabinet and came back with this puppy too (it followed me home...) Very light home use and 2 trips to the studio so it's in immaculate condition. Comes with the nice GR carry bag and the original packaging. 800 watts into 4 ohms Built in tuner Switchable high and low minds EQ defeatable Aux in and headphones out with separate volume Star Wars lighting (which you can switch off) Silent studio mode to switch the fan off You can collect from me (Herts/Essex border) or I can probably deliver personally in bits of the South East from Norfolk to Bucks to London to the south of Kent. Happy to post at your risk and cost. Probably not interested in trades but you never know, it's always worth an ask... Thanks for looking 🙂

    The BB800 was the best class D amp I've ever had. Bottomless clean power. I really fancy trying the newer one with the 'proper' tone controls

    I've always found that, when new, Elixirs of any variety sound like 6 gig old versions of their nickel or stainless cousins.

    The Musicman style truss rod adjustment wheel at the base of the neck should be mandatory on every bass.

    Now sold Bought on NYE so just 3 months old, comes with the nice gig bag and all tags/tools present. Home use and 2 rehearsals only. Bought as an experiment to see if I can get on with 5 string Fendery type things. I can't but it's a bloody lovely bass nonetheless. Spec wise it's a bit of a mongrel. Precision body (so smaller than a jazz) but jazzy electronics. 2 active single coil MarkBass pickups wired Volume, Volume and Passive Tone. 3 band active MarkBass EQ and the passive EQ works with this too. Pull the tone control to switch to passive mode. Does P bass sounds and lovely burpy J bass stuff. It's a very resonant bass and sounds huge. Alder body, vintage maple tinted neck and board. Binding and block inlays. The neck is gloss but totally non sticky. Feels great. Weight is 4kg/8.6lbs on the luggage scales so it's pretty light. Collection preferred from near Harlow, Essex although I do travel around the SE of England and I'll be in the Midlands later this week for work if anyone wanted to meet up. I have the shipping box so can post but at your arrangement and risk.

    2 months away. You'll have time to learn half a verse of one of their other songs then 🤣

    A brave man!!!! Good luck with it. When's the gig?

    I had to Google him......he's a proper monster isn't he! Love it. Here's a link to a tutorial. Classic Sterling tone there. As mentioned above, whack it through an SVT or something valvey to give the bottom end some girth and add some drive and it's there.

    I think you're just used to a Precision and the USA Sterling has a very different inherent sound. Its worlds away from a Fender P sound. I'm exactly the opposite - I prefer modern active basses and just never seem to bond with Fendery type things. Having had both USA Sterlings and an SB14 (which is very very close to a USA in every aspect) they can have quite a cold clicky and clinical sound from the ceramic pickup which you can struggle to dial out. Even a Stingray sounds noticeably different because of the alnico pickup and can get pretty vintage sounding with the 2 band version. Are you sure the chap you saw had a Sterling and not a Stingray? They can look pretty similar from a distance. But I wouldn't waste time and money on the modding options, you'll only devalue what you have and it still won't quite do what you want it to. Just move it on and try something else...

    Strings and Beyond (USA) have twin packs of Daddario XL Nickels for $19.99 at the moment. So about £7.55 a set... https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/flash-sale-on-daddario-bass-twin-packs.html They take about 10 days to arrive in my experience. I've bought loads of strings from them over the years.

    Firstly, sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my dad last August and it still hits hard even though we were all kind of prepared for it Less importantly, I bought a GR Aerotech AT212 cab a few months back with the official cover and it sounds like it's the same as yours. The cutout doesn't match up with the handle position. Still perfectly useable but if you have OCD it may be a problem. I just don't look at it......

    My thoughts exactly. Today's £1000/£1500 new basses were selling for around £500 used just a couple of years ago. Well worth £500 but not £1000 in my opinion. The Sterling/EBMM analogy is spot on (I've had quite a few of both price points) There's definitely a difference in feel and finishing with the American versions and they're around for £1500 used now. When the Sterling versions were £600 new that represented good value but at over a grand I don't think they are anymore. And you'll lose your shirt if you move it on.

    Get a wide squishy strap and don't look at it maybe?

    Different people I think. Tony Iles isn't a Director of those guys. I sold him something which he collected from my house. He's a nice guy and said he's just a bit of a collector, plays them for a bit for fun and then flips them when he's ready. Does a road trip every now and then round the country collecting basses and amps. My item is still listed and he's not making much on it tbh. He plays in a band and is a good bass player too.

    Tony Iles......he's on FB marketplace as well. A very legit guy

    It'll be the right decision Dave - sometimes the silly little niggley things of band life build up and begin to outweigh the fun stuff. That's when it's time to make a change. I've just gone through the same process after playing in the same band for 15 years and I don't regret it. The guys are right though, don't sell your gear just yet. I played my last ever gig on Dec 7th with the intention of taking at least 6 months off and just having a noodle at home. I now have an audition for something new tomorrow night....😂 (My wife had a secret bet with my son that i wouldn't make it into Feb without doing something) Oh and I too will miss your gig reports massively. I always read them on a Sunday morning with my own gig hangover!

    That night when the abominable snowman emerged from the back of our giant van whilst we were unloading the gear. The drummist had been in there moving flightcases with the back door shut. He knocked the powder fire extinguisher that lived in there and it went off right in his face in a very confined area. It looked like a scene from Scarface when we got the back door open to see what all the fuss was about.
  25. Mudpup
    Yep, I don't think they're doing themselves any favours now. It's getting silly. And the knob placement on the new SB14 don't look right to me. Something just doesn't flow there
