Charvel SAN Dimas pj in metallic blue.
Beautiful looking bass. Metallic blue body, roasted neck and cream dimarzios for the pick ups.
Firstly the hardware is superb on this - great tuners and a superb fender hi mass bridge.
Dimarzio pickups sound just lovely. The mid p/j sound is phenomenol and reminiscent of my old usa g&l l2000.
The neck is probably the best neck of any bass I've had. It more a jazz neck, its slim and fast. Very fast due to the roasted wood and satin finish.
In fantastic condition just one tiny groove on the back that is very difficult to see.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
From stock these are an active and passive bass. This bass is now purely passive with the blend switch still working perfectly.
The active electronics are still there, but I mistakenly put a new battery in the wrong way and it damaged the active circuit.
However, a lot of people like to swap out the active electronics on these so you can get this at a bargain price and replace with what ever active circuit you want or continue just in passive mode.
I'd 100% keep and play this every gig if I could, but I've gone down the tribute line again and need to replace with the basses of whom I'm covering.
Any questions just ask. It's a beautiful bass at a decent price.
Pick up Leyland Lancashire.

Golden rule for me - if they're there and theres an option to walk away and they dont, then they're enjoying it.
The band is there to entertain the crowd, not the other way round
(although I do love a good whinge backstage if it's been a poor gig
)

Thing is (up until this) she might have got home, to work etc and told people that she had the best night ever and that the band were amazing. Just because people aren’t jumping about and waving their arms in the air doesn’t mean they’re not enjoying the show. It’s not the audiences responsibility to perform for the artists.
Completely agree. I'd be an awful audience member. I just stand there, dont move and just stare taking it all in.
I'll be enjoying it on a different level to the people jumping around, but I'd be enjoying it just as much, if not more.

I kinda miss those types of 70s albums. Wizards, folklore, stories etc and fantastic songs and musicianship.

This pedal has been a long time coming from Ampeg. Great to hear it sounds superb and has a whole host of features.....
But flipping eck ampeg, if you really want it to be an all in one pedal, put a tuner in and have digital storage for your analogue settings like the vt deluxe. Then - instant pre sets for smooth, rock, drive etc - that's what most players need nowadays. Not many will tweak at pedal level per song or worse, mid song.
Frustrating as I'd have this pedal in a heartbeat otherwise.

Once you sell stuff it just becomes easier. Yes, you might want an old bass back, but once you sell and sell and sell, you realise it doesnt really matter. Theres so much bass supply out there and so many easy accessible ways to buy it, you'll soon get over any sellers remorse.

Definitely loud enough with the 212 cab so it may be used with just one cab
Yeh, I'm just confused if its loud enough with 1 cab, why youd need three or have to sell your amp?

An ABM600 and 2x12 cab cant possibly be too quiet can it?

ui12 does have a wired network socket so it should be possible ...
You need a wired network adapter for your tablet (iPad?) and a wee network switch
If the tablet is Thunderbolt then something like this (tablet specs vary, so check)...
and a switch
plug up with two network cables and put both devices on the same subnet 192.168.xxx.yyy with subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (see page "10.1.3: LAN" in manual)
... As ui12 network port auto negotiates, you may not need a switch (IF tablet adapter plays nice), just one cable...
That's great thank you.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to physically connect our tablet to the soundcraft ui12 mixer?
Usually we just use over wifi, but last night nobody could log on with tablets, phones or anything. So much so that we had no control over the mix, although luckily it loaded up a previous one which was passable.
So, is there anyway to cable up a phone or tablet to the mixer for rock solid connection in an emergency?

New one coming and they've sold all the old ones
Ah good! Do we have any details about it anywhere?

Sorry, posted in wrong section.

Anyone know what's happened to Quilter bass amps?
I loved my bb800. Then they brought out the 802, now seemingly nothing?

3 big shows this week. Loving the QC and my IEMS. Both total game changers.
Keep humping those rigs guys. It's all downhill from there.
You do know theres all kinds of bassists on here? From beginners, pub players, club players, pit players, pros, people who do it for fun, touring bands, famous bands, famous bassists and a lot of genuine legends. No ones opinion is worth more than anyone else's. That's what makes this site great - it's a discussion forum, not a platform for im right and youre wrong statements.

I mailed a week ago and I've heard nothing back, which is disappointing as I had a look around that site and saw some interesting stuff.

I emailed them through their site about a month ago and heard nothing back. I think you have to physically ring them for a response.

I think they're a good basic product. I think they're suffering a bit as lots of people are using the term 'upgrading with.....' and with 'superb Wilkinson etc etc'.
They're good. They do a job. But they're not a significant upgrade compared to other brands renowned for being an upgrade.

Yep!
Interestingly as well, someone pointed out the similarities between stus amp and his old hartke ha amps. Makes perfect sense.

Sire P5 3ts
in Bass Guitars
Posted · Edited by la bam
Ok, so I'm back on the tribute scene and to be fair you cant play indie music on a sparkly blue shiny bass, so I needed a nice, decent sunburst precision thatd fit in nicely with the look. Fenders were out due to price, so I needed a decent bass for cheap money.
After looking around i found a barely used Sire P5.
I've had v7s before, nice basses. I also had a p7 which was terrible and was the only bass I've ever sent back. I think it was a bad batch it came from.
So, I'd read and watched quite a few reviews on these p5s, most very positive. So I was hoping for a good bass for the little amount I paid for it.
On top of the good reviews I'd read some reviewers for some reason making comparisons to american deluxe basses for fit, feel and finish. Obviously that is way wrong and too optimistic....... only it isnt!
The bass is truly stunning! It looks stunning it's a dark, rich 3ts and literally everything is extraordinarily well finished, lacquered and polished! Its rolled fret edges are the best I've ever come across and the whole thing has been done with care and attention. The all over kind of gloss finish is up there with the top basses.
The p bass sound I always get no matter what p bass I play is a bottom string heavy slightly dull sound. However this p5 nails the sound I've always wanted - think geezer butler doing the intro solo before NIB on the Black Sabbath album.
So far - stunning looks, feel, playability and sound, so it was time for the real test - band practice with a loud indie band.
It absolutely shone! Very clear, punchy and musical sounding. It never got washed out in the mix and the upper strings came through with clarity and presence. The tone pot made a subtle difference all the way through the range which was nice as well.
All in all a superb bass. I expected a lot to be fair and got a lot more.
Now, time to check out the other colours available and get them into my other bands!
