Had a pro 1 5 string broad neck in boire rosewood with Bart soapbars.... lovely bass but boy was it heavy.

Bought some sadowsky knobs from Alain, great Comms and a pleasure to deal, thanks again Alain 👍

Love this, sheer quality and a definite nod towards fodera.

The mesa subway 115 seems a lovely cab, top notch build quality, compact and light weight....but my oh my, have you seen the price...OUCH

Yes, I listened to these as well!... they both sound good but to my ears, the driver has a tone more to my liking.

I am in the same position as yourself, although my bass is a lakland 5501....same pickups and preamp as the cort. After doing some research, it would appear that the preamp is more of a weak link. One guy installed the mk5's along with the usa bart preamp and ended up putting the cheapo mk1 pickups back in(along with the usa preamp!!)...the mk1's are i think split/reverse P style so with that in mind, fed with a decent pre, could sound good.
I myself are looking towards the john east uni-pre 5....i may change pickups at a later date...we will see!
Anyway, good luck with the mods and let us all know what you think when done.

Yes, apparently reverse split coil which should serve to give a tighter bottom end.... going to upgrade the pre first and if I feel the pickup's need replacing can do it at a later date.... thinking of the east uni-pre.

thanks for the comments folks!.....looking on youtube, there is a guy who has fitted aguilar super splits along with an aguilar obp3 preamp to his 55-01.....listening to the bass firstly with the cheapo bartolinl mk1 and then with the super splits (both with the obp3) i have to conclude, i prefer the el-cheapo bart mk1s....sounds cleaner to me and i think the mk1s suit the preamp.....what do you think?

My bad, i stand corrected.

Just sold Andy a sadowsky a preamp, deal went very smoothly and he is a total gent, highly recommended....thanks again 👍

Come on folks.... John East uni-pre maybe?

Cheers for that

You are best with at least 500 Watts into 8 ohms....the barefaced driver is loosely based around the eminence kappalite 3012lf.... fantastic driver, but really needs to be driven.

Going to have my Ray painted in this colour.....I can get the proper paint, but it is expensive, so with that, is there an equivalent colour available, if so, what is the paint code?
Cheers

Love this ♥️

I had a sr 2405w with the low gloss finish....didn't have it long, not really my cup of tea, it also struck me that in time there would be shiny patches in the finish where your arm/fingers rest when playing.....Also, regarding the setup, i had to have it fret dressed as it had some uneven frets, even after that it wouldn't take low set-up.....sorry for the rant, mine may have been a friday night bass lol

I regret parting with my wal mk2 5 string, not because it was particularly good ! .....it was heavy as hell, and never did quite bond with it.....sold it for £800.....now look at the price DOH
I also regret selling my warwick streamer stage 1 5 string....that was a nice bass!

Traded my yamaha trb4 for Trev's spector 5 .....great comms and a really nice chap
absolute pleasure.....Thanks again Trev.

I love this....alas, bought too much of late....glwts

I think fender went backwards with the ultra....gone is the adjustable through body bridge...also, no carbon rods in the neck....seems a cost cutting exercise to me!!!...go with Sandberg...far better build quality.

Looking on the talkbass site it would seem the preamp is more of a weak link....one guy changed his pickup's a few times then went back to the mk1's

Up for sale is a pair of ACG 5 string jazz pickups....got these as a spare pair of pickups with my ACG jazz which i sold some time ago
these are made by Aaron Armstrong to ACG specs.......i believe these to be humbuckers as the bass i sold had single coils......these
would be great for a project bass or to replace existing pickups.
measurements are L-11CM.....W2.5CM
Trace Elliot smx dual band compressor

For sale is my trace elliot compressor.... lovely condition and very usable... still have the original box and instructions.... also includes a 18v power supply... sound wise, it doesn't suck the life out of the tone and having separate compression for both low and high frequencies makes for a very natural sound.
