Can't really go wrong with this. Sounds good and built robustly. I don't use much delay any more but it's fun to mess around with. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/tc-electronic-echobrain-analog-delay-/903370

What a total joke.

The hat stays ON!

Yes, somebody gifted me one of those Dunlop system 65 kits about 8 years ago. I'm about half way down the guitar polish but the other bottles are mostly untouched. A little really goes a long way!

The lack of windings is making my teeth itch.
-
Think I need a tetanus shot just looking at that. In what world does a bass age like that? Unless it's been left under a dock or buried 6ft under for a few years.
-
Yeah think I read they have 'bassman style' tone stacks where you can only cut certain frequencies. Might be wrong though.
-
I've owned a few big valve amps in my time and I think a good starting point is to run the eq flat (may be at 12 o'clock, may be not) the volume on full and use the gain control to taste. You can fiddle with the eq to your liking later but I've always used this as a springboard for big, full and clean valve tone.
-
Yeah I have a theory that the more valves the longer the lifespan. I may be wrong but this amp hasn't had any problems even after extended use across a few years.

I use a Traynor YBA-300. 12 valves, no fan!
-
Yeah they're cool basses, seafoam would be nice. I've owned two and they both had active electronics and stacked pots and no switches so some electronic tinkering may be afoot!

For me, especially with pedals, it's finding a new band and becoming infatuated with said band's bass player. It goes roughly like this: 'That sounds cool' 'How do they get that sound' 'I have to sound like that' 'I must sell stuff to buy gear to help me sound like that.' Ad infinitum.

Got myself a proper celluloid pickguard for the roadworn. I was going to go for cream covers but I'm really liking this look. Here it is relaxing on the sofa after the first band practice in 7 (!?) months.

THICC dimension. I like the sound of that.

Open the control cavity and fill it with helium

Dunlop flats have black silks so they're not too imposing. They're waxed / lacquered so you don't get bits of silk / dust flying all over the place either and they're super smooth. Well worth checking out.

Too good to be true? TC Electronic Spectra Comp

I've used a diamond forever but might give one of these a go and report back. -
Yep, I did notice that there's no mention of nitro in the spec, so that may set them apart. For me, it was a plus point on the previous model.
-
Fender road worn, think there's one for sale on the marketplace plus there's some new models out soon.
-
Pedal clear out - EHX, Bearfoot, tech 21 etc All sorted now thanks.

Ancient post but I'm assuming the gap in the neck pocket? That doesn't look great.

I posted this in the MIM thread but just love the way my road worn looks and plays. Gotoh resolite tuners, bone nut, Wudtone neckplate, black anodised pickguard, gotoh screws, ebony thumbrest, Lindy Fralin pickup, Emerson p-bass loom, badass bridge. Think the only stock bits are the string tree, strap buttons, knobs and the wood.

Road worn yellowing a little in the sun feat. black anodised pickguard.

Played chromes for years and experienced the same for a few weeks. You can get some GHS fast fret and rub it over the strings every now and again or do it the vintage way - rub your finger tips in the creases on your face and get the oils on your fingers. Kind of disgusting, but the funk is in the gunk.

Mexican Precision: Upgrade with EMG GZR and Roto flats?
Jonse replied to markyted's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Mark, I'd initially say yes to both, however, try just changing the strings first. It'll probably get you 90% of the way there and it'll be much cheaper. The player series basses with those Yosemite pickups are really good.
