[quote name='aende' timestamp='1391683080' post='2360032'] What is the width across the nut? Jazz style or Precision width? Cheers [/quote] Hi, not sure about measuring nuts but I think that is the distance between the two outside stings? If so that is 34mm [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1391679868' post='2359968'] Any interest in my lovely medium-weight Marcus Miller Jazz? [/quote] Thanks for the interest Conan, its not for me. I know that is a lovely bass you have there as I remember having a look at it when I picked up that cab before Christmas. GL with your sale.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1391436165' post='2357086'] I can't believe you're selling this before I've had a chance to play it! It looks fantastic [/quote] Thanks for all the nice comments. I'll drop it of overnight so you can give it a try if you like Mornats. It plays as well as the Umbo did (superb bass) with lots of cool tones and more active oomph. I think I want a "P" bass though.

[b]New Price £750 offers? Trades see below[/b] I traded my Umbo for this California recently as I wasn't using it and guess what? In not using this either. It's a real beauty in the unusual (discontinued?) colour of surf green. It plays as good as it looks and has a wide range of usable sounds. Overall the bass is in great condition and everything works as it should. I don't have scales but its not a heavy bass, probably about 9.5 ibs It has been gigged by the precious owner and you see from the pictures it has one knock wear mark on the body. In return for this marvelous bass I would like some money [b]Trades?[/b] A 4 or 5 string bass, top of the range Ibanez, G&L Stingray, Yammy or similar with the following attributes: Some serious thump-leaning towards "P" rather than jazz 34" scale only Dark or strong colours preferred Must be light-medium weight-preferably under 9 lb or thereabouts. Nothing over-complicated please...I know me and I'd just fiddle with it rather than use it If you like Sandbergs and beauty this could be the one [attachment=153890:SANDBERG1.jpg] [attachment=153891:SANDBERG3.jpg] [attachment=153892:SANDBERG4.jpg] [attachment=153893:sandbergtm4damage.jpg] This bass is a babe

Well I'd keep the L2000 and the P as a back up. Also keep the Lakland for a while longer to see if you play it. Note: Peavy T40's aren't that rare and are heavy.

Dorset and Somerset Bass Bash 2014: Post Event Critique
Pinball replied to yorks5stringer's topic in Events
[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1390521650' post='2346524'] Put myself and possibly Pinball down for it (providing we're free that weekend). I'll bring my Yamaha TRBX - I'm sure a few of you are keen to try those out and also my basses that I will have for sale (I'll pay the Basschat £20 selling fee before I go though.) [/quote] I'll take my Farida Hypersonic and maybe my Sandberg or Surveyor, depending on car space and what others are bringing -
Keyboard player wanted to join a newly formed band for a developing project; writing, recording and gigging. We need a keyboard player to generate soundscapes as well as more traditional strings and lead lines. Enthusiasm counts over ability and vocals would help. Gear is not be an issue to begin with. This exciting new project is already producing interesting material in an alternative/industrial/rock/pop kind of style.

Thanks I'll bear all that in mind

[quote name='iamtheelvy' timestamp='1390318721' post='2343985'] Yep, not a big fan of loose pedals. Plus the fact that the Whammy V is built like a tank - expecting the same from the Bass model. [/quote] As someone who is thinking moving on from my "built like a tank" Morley, the idea of solid build and no moving parts is defiantly worth a look.

Hope the link works. Can you see the birds? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=732177180127212&set=a.161943097150626.37513.148172415194361&type=1&theater

That moment you realise there's no point in trying different basses...

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1390309525' post='2343798'] Having multiple basses always bother me. Not because I don't like the bass, is I always use the same bass for gig. This is because the band required that particular sound, so therefore that particular bass is always getting use. [/quote] I found this after spending a lot of time finding a nice bass with a tome that I loved, that sound just wan't right in the band. I now have a set up that I really like. Having said that if your a creative player then having a few nice instruments to play can inspire you to push the boundaries a bit. Nothing wrong with that -
[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1390308092' post='2343773'] I would use this order: wah, compressor, distortion, chorus, delay only cos I like to have option of untamed and tamed wah, and because compression works well in front of dirt pedals to keep it focussed. modulation stuff is usually best last in chain, because using wah or distortion on an already modulated signal can get a bit messy. however, if there are any rules, they're there to be broken....so I say juggle your set up and find what works best for you. [/quote] Thanks, that kind of fits with my ideal set up as I'm right footed so having the Wah on the right feels natural. All my pedals are true bypass (I forgot I also intend to get a tuner in there too). I'm still waiting for a couple in the post
-
Setting up a pedal board with Wah, distortion, Flashback 4x, chorus. Where do I put the compression? At the moment I'm thinking last but have yet to try it.
-
Thanks, I ordered some heavy duty. I'm going to re-do the board rather than mess around

Lots of people seen to use WD 40 on electrics and there are three problems with it. 1. if its some thank that heats up you have trouble 2. over time it gets thick and gunky 3. It seems to attract dirt and dust so in the longer term is a bad move Its a short term or emergency solution at best I know this from working on pinballs I would advise trying a foaming electrical cleaner to get it thoroughly clean. If that doesn't work just change the switch

Hi a bit of a strange one this. I have a Gator "The Bone" pedalboard. It appears set up for velcro but none of the velcro I currently have seems to stick to it. Can anyone advise me to the stuff that I need and where to get it?
