  1. I was having some fun with this today. Using my ‘real’ Sadowsky I set it to passive and used the HX setting and played with different boost levels whilst flipping between passive and active on the bass itself. Sounded incredibly accurate to me
  2. Got my Stomp on Friday and an RCF NX 12 SMA and having great fun with it. Seems really intuitive to use Didn't find much in the stock patches i liked but downloaded a clutch and have been playing with them off and on all weekend! Is there a single link that shows all the potential downloadable presets for the Stomp? I don't want to simply 'collect' a million of them (been through that silly game with Adobe presets!), just want to see how some people have approached getting a great live tone with an FRFR setup.
  3. Is this bass owned by a retail outlet or an individual? Or maybe being sold by a retailer on commission and also advertised privately here? I’m confused now
  4. Do you know roughly how much it weighs?
  5. Do you know what pickups are fitted?
  6. Surprised this one is still here - especially at this price!
  7. This is a really common issue with flats, especially La Bellas. I’ve sorted lots of issues with a random dull sounding flat that turned out to be a little twist whilst fitting. The guy who ran La Bella’s sales operation for years taught me how to do this and said he was the only person who could fix dead strings ‘on the phone’ back in the 60’s when people used to call up complaining 😂
  8. Interesting, don’t think I’ve seen a pau ferro neck before (I thought you meant the board was some kind of hybrid construction from the original post).
  9. What wood is the neck? Looks really pretty!
  10. Looking for any particular make / style?
  11. Anything in particular you’re looking for as a possible trade?
  12. That’s a really kind offer Chris. I’m in Henley if that’s any use for someone. Easy to get to west London and up the M40 to Birmingham.
  13. Really tempted by this. Is it a standard 34” neck? I know Jon offers 33” & 35” as well. Shame I don’t have a Sterling buried away amongst the 30+ Basses lurking around my house at the moment 🤦‍♂️
  14. Amazing, first time I’ve seen this. I’m only able to view the first 2 pics, don’t know if this is an issue on my side or the hosting. I have a pair of 68 sunburst Js - one is all original and the other a refin but both are really nice to play.
  15. Wow, would go nicely with my gold sparkle P!
  16. Cheers Chris We lost our gorgeous, 5 year old, grandson in the summer whilst on holiday and still struggling to come to terms with it. He was always amazing with disabled people and regularly befriended them in our local park (there's a special centre for brain-damaged people nearby) so that was part of my 'prompt' to find this type of charity. He also loved music and was beginning to master some synth bass lines with me so there's a music connection as well
  17. Hi everyone, As some of you will know, our family experienced a tragic event last year and we've all been trying to come to terms with things and move on in our own ways. One goal I set for myself was to try and do some charity work that involved children and, if possible, music. I'm therefore very excited to announce that I've been formally appointed today as Marketing Lead at the lovely Soundabout charity based near Oxford! Soundabout helps people with severe or profound disabilities and to communicate through music-based interaction - learning with instruments, drums, rhythmic patterns, sensory perception etc. Many of their participants are 'non-vocal' and the way they've learnt to interact with their families and peers through music is just fabulous to experience. They work with schools in engaging with disabled children, adults through weekly workshops, multi-age inclusive choirs and all sorts of different music & sound based workshops. I might even take a bass along and see if I can help to get some people dancing and enjoying that low-end rumble In 2020 they are launching new initiatives to work with pre-school children and young adults who've just finished school / college to help them through the, extremely tough, transition into adulthood. They really do fabulous work and get great reviews from participants and their family members. After the sad events of last year I really wanted something new to make me, and others who really deserve it, smile a little more. I'll try and post the odd update from time to time and let people know if there are any musical events that might be interesting. I can get more information about them as well if anyone might ever want to help with fundraising through music or any other type of event. If anyone wants to like or follow them on social media it would definitely be much appreciated - they don't bombard people with messages and some of the videos of people engaging with them are so heartwarming if ever you want to raise a smile https://www.facebook.com/SoundaboutUK/ https://twitter.com/SoundaboutUK https://www.instagram.com/soundabout.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/22319968/
  18. I’ve owned a few Celinders and they truly are great instruments. Relatively rare to find one under 9lbs as well.
  19. I’ve played one of these as well. It was a really nice bass. Especially good for smaller players given the light weight, small body profile and slinky neck.
  20. Keep coming back to look at this one Just checking - it’s a completely stock build with no extra cost items?
  21. I can only base my opinion on having been a dealer for both brands. Given an option to re-stock I would take Sadowsky without question. I wouldn’t touch another Warwick if they paid me. . .
