  1. So much like JML you had no idea you needed one of these, until those lovely companies started making them. Tidy up your cabling to/from your pedal board! Easy to use send jack into the input of your first pedal, and from yiur last pedal into the return. Your cables from your bass and to your amp are in one convenient place. It is a very high quality bit of kit in as new condition, features Neutrik jacks and has high quality Velcro on the bottom. I've an EBS Microbass2 which does the same job (and a lit more) so this isn't needed. SOLD
  2. So I've been restoring my 82 JV Squier jazz back to its stock format, and decided to get one of these, vintage Spiral Saddled bridges as I got one on my P bass and it's great. I literally bought this brand new about 4 weeks ago, it got sent to a tech, who as doing the stripping work and he fitted it. When I got the bass back, the bridge is brilliant but it was too SHINY for my 39 year old, battle scarred bass😂 I've now bought reliced Gotoh which is pretty much the same thing, but dirty!! HOSCO are the distributor for Gotoh and I suspect, Hosco parts are made by Gotoh, as they are made in Japan (although the Hosco is a tad thicker and has a slightly bigger baseplate) Anyway as new, although I don't have any screws for it (I suspect they ended up, in my techs spares drawer) steel baseplate, Brass saddles etc NOW SOLD
  3. Yeas that would be the ideal situation for me! FEA for the P bass and cali for the jazz/musicman
  4. Cool!! A good optical comp is great if your using digital effects. I used to use a Effectrode then a Diamond and later the 3leaf Pwnzor which both worked well, with the source audio Gemini I had at the time, it almost puts back that Analog fatness. I think you'd regret it, if you relied on the the Helix comp (and I'm sure it's great)
  5. Aha on hold! Someone's going to be happy. Shame I don't have the cash 😁
  6. I like the simplicity of the Cali as the combined attack/release works well for me. But tonally it's very bright and I'd like somethibg warmer! That being said, I've gone to passive on my basses (except my musicman) so having that extra clarity will work nicely. I haven't tried a helix, and I've seriously considered that route myself, but I've seen too many people sell all their board to buy one, then promptly start to buy compressors and octaves as they arnt happy with the models. An ideal board would be having both, I'd say if you can afford it, try to get the Helix and keep the FEA (the warmth from that comp, will help soften some of the digital effects)
  7. Goodness I'd love that 😁 Very light compression and tone enhancement from tbe FEA at the beginning of the chain,and put the Cali at the end as a limiter 😋
  8. Thank you so much! That's really helpful, but just reading this, has given me a headache and is making my teeth itch. I think ill wait, until they've sorted out the bugs and go back to my numerical system 😂
  9. Goodness that sounds like a faff! But as I want the preset names,it's going to have to be done. So you need to manually type the names in? Is there a YouTube walkthrough for the process? 😁
  10. I've had a cali76 CB for ages and in love it, but I keep looking at these and the fact I haven't tried one, is driving me mad 😂
  11. Cool! Have you done this yet? I'll get mine updated😁
  12. Dave Wilson is one of the finest fellows ive ever dealt with. I've had a bass that was re finished by Dave and it was stunning. I believe he used to do the finishes for Overwater, if I had the cash, my jazz would be winging its way for a surf green with matching headstock jobbie 😁
  13. Haha yes!! With just the 5's Lots of Warwicks,Ken Smith, Spector,Musicman. Still come back to Yamaha (TRB, BB) the 424/425 are the best value basses I've ever used.
  14. My first 5 string was the BBN5! Great little bass, as i recall i spent about £400 new vack in 1996. I liked it so much I bought the first Nathan East signature about a year later.
  15. Recently bought a BB 425 from Mark! Lovely bloke and great comms. He gave me a great price and happily delivered halfway, so I could get it sent on from a friends. Bass was in great nick, and he's highly recommended. Thanks loads Mark 😁
  16. I regularly gigged a sunburst 424 with flats in a rock and roll show, and was very happy. That being said I did sell it to buy a P bass 🙄😂
  17. That would have my interest! But massively overpriced.
  18. Thought I'd leave something on here for Mr Travis. I've been friends with Andy on here for well over 10 years, and chatted long before that. I've dealt with him many times, and he's always been unfailingly honest and I've gone to him many times for advice. I recently bought a yamaha 5 string from a lovely bloke on here, and as delivery wasn't an option he delivered it to Andy on my behalf. Now not only did Andy travel to Morecambe and deliver it to me in person, he took the time to clean and oil the neck, give it a full setup and even sourced some Yamaha straplocks for the bass. An absolute gent of a person and I'm very privileged to count him as a freind😁 Thanks loads bro I owe you one!
  19. I'm pretty certain, that basses are sent out like dogs dinners, as manufacturers don't want to spend the cash employing someone to set up every bass. They will assume the setup would never be right for the potential buyer, who will get it done themselves. And yes, I'd imagine a lot of stores would rather you pay them £50+ extra to do what they should be doing in their "Showroom". And don't get me started on paying extra for high end cab covers or even gig bags on expensive items😂
  20. That's beautiful!! I suppose "Mystic Surf Green" is a more marketable name than "Metallic sage" 😂
  21. Well yes! You're spot on with that. Buying the DMC meant I could reduce the number of synthy fuzzes I had (just down to the Mastatron) and even my little bit crusher, I also didn't replace my Analog filters after i sold them. Used the money to get another bass 😁
  22. I've recently bought the DMC micro to switch between my presets on the C4. I was a bit sick to see the pro had cone out,not 4weeks later, as id much prefer to see the preset names, Its not worth another £50 to me though. As it stands I've got my most used sounds as the first ones, and I'll literally write the patch number next to any tune that needs it on my set list. I was slight miffed at first at having to spend another £99 to get access to a decent number of sounds, but I'd definitely recommend you get one.
  23. His design has become quite iconic! Despite it's starting as a "poor mans" Alembic. John Diggins has made other types of bass. I once played a jaydee Jazz with EMGS it was fantastic,but really heavy. There was once a bright pink Jaydee Stingray for sale on here many moons ago! That was a sight 😁 And the Calibas was an extremely gorgeous bass.
  24. Chris kindly answered my Ad for am EBS Microbass. Fantastic communication and a lovely bloke to boot. Very fast delivery and some of the best packing I've ever received. Pedal was like new and well priced, very pleased indeed. Thanks so much Chris,you're a gent 😁
  25. Lol! A couple for me One was cocobolo Overwater Perception originally sold by the wonderful Molan. It's current owner has had it a long time,and has put it up for sale, then withdrawn it twice 😂 Another was a seafoam green Japenese P bass, with a mint guard, that was on here many yes ago. Our very Clarky was selling a similar one not too long ago,and I foolishly didn't jump on it.
