  1. What is the weight on this one please?
  2. Thanks for that, a little too much for my aging frame😭
  3. Any chance you could tell me the weight please?
  4. I think it is on YouTube… will have a look for the link…
  5. Congratulations, that is a really beautiful bass. Have never personally tried one but am very intrigued!
  6. How many years on BC and I didn’t even know this thread existed😂 Am looking forward to guesting at my old church tomorrow in the city centre, should be pretty cool. Awesome group of musicians and a massive p/a system🥰 They have chosen Firm foundation as one of the songs, sounds like it has some pretty cool fills and slides to have some fun with! Have any of you guys used that song?
  7. That is totally stunning!
  8. I might be tempted if the timing is right… need to save some pennies!!
  9. I might pick up a 5 string version in the future… they really are incredible instruments
  10. So… I treated myself to this a couple of weeks ago. After an initial wobble where I was tempted to move it on I have decided it is likely a keeper. Super lightweight at just over 3 kg and just about the best neck I have ever had the pleasure of playing. It does quite a nice P bass impression with the neck pickup and a decent Stingray impression with a little bridge pickup rolled in… And as for the wood choices… ♥️♥️
  11. Andy just bought a gig bag from me. Super easy guy to deal with, an absolute pleasure thanks Andy
  12. Hey, Thanks Mike I don’t want to post at this stage… I don’t have anything big enough to package it in and I am guessing from recent dealings with the post office that the cost would be prohibitive.
  13. Up for sale is a lightly used TGI Ultimate gig bag. It is in great condition and only around 12 months old. There is some light scuffing to the logo on the front and a couple of marks inside but purely cosmetic Collection from Leicester preferred although am happy to meet up within reason **Am away for a few days from Wednesday**
  14. Up for sale is a really beautiful Sadowsky Modern 4-24 featuring Akume body with AAAA Claro Walnut top, roasted alpine maple C shaped neck, ebony fingerboard with 12” radius, Sadowsky soap bars and pre amp. It is in outstanding condition, there is barely a mark on it (I actually can’t see any) There is a small amount of fret wear (pictured) but nothing that affects play and would be removed in a matter of minutes by a decent tech. The weight is 3.2kg so ridiculously light and it balances absolutely perfectly on the strap. The only thing that I can pull it up on is a small indentation to the inside of the electronics compartment lid that does affect the shielding contact. I use a small piece of foil to bridge the gap as a cheap solution however the ideal thing would be to buy a new cover which are available through Warwick. Not a biggie but would rather be up front. Original gig bag, tools, leather strap and paperwork all included.

  15. Lovely bass, congratulations. very jealous!
  16. Global eq adjustments are ok if you only use one instrument… if you play multiple instruments eg acoustic guitar bass and electric guitar then you are probably better off using an eq block instead.
  17. I always use HPF and LPF with Helix both at home and live… set at 30hz and 7.5khz respectively. I may even move the HPF up to 40 now that I am only playing 4 string again… I find LPF essential for keeping the mix clean especially when using synth bass and distortions where some of the higher frequencies can sound harsh and are very much in guitar/keys territory. I think the kick drum sounds much clearer and the room sounds a lot less boomy with the HPF engaged. My understanding is that if you are using the HPF/LPF eq block the slopes are 12db/octave.
  18. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  19. Bought new and sold second hand through Bass Direct by me a number of years ago… serial number 2749 Was wondering where it ended up??
