    No love for a handmade Jazz bass under a grand from one of the UK’s best luthiers?

    I go ampless whenever I can. Generally I'll always have 2 DI's with me - A REDDI for sending my signal to the desk after my pedalboard, and a Sadowsky DI Pedal on my board. If I have control of my own mix and can have a stereo feed, then all is well and the Sadowsky becomes a very expensive tuner mute switch 😂 But if not, I send the REDDI to the desk, and I then take the DI out of the Sadowsky into one side of a Behringer P1 and have my mix into the other side so that I can still control the ratio of bass:monitor mix at my end. The only downside is for the other musicians who may miss the feeling of having the bass amp on stage, but with the Backbeat, it literally makes no difference to me having an amp on stage, hence going without whenever I can!

    Maxon AF9 is a seriously underrated pedal! Lots of squelch. Old school Mutron vibe. Good luck with the sale mate!

    I bought a 2nd hand NYC on here last year that had had the same thing done, and thought it was a great idea, so I requested the same on this one. Makes much more sense IMO!

    For those who are interested, specs are as follows: Chambered Alder body with flame Maple top, Roasted Maple neck with ebony fingerboard, MOP dot inlays, black hardware. Weighs in at a very reasonable 8.65lbs/3.92kgs. I also had them fit a toggle switch on the control plate to switch between Active and Passive - I’ve never been fond of pulling up on the Tone knob due to the potential of changing the setting. Took it to my gig tonight and wow, what an instrument it is! Very pleased indeed 😍

    I gave him one of my Squier JV Precisions for his birthday last year so I think he was trying to up the Ante this year! 😂 Sorry mate, they don’t make this model anymore 😂 I chose it, although he said he would’ve chosen that one too 😁 😂😂 I’ll ask him 😆 He would’ve had you when he was 10 a not sure he started that early 😂😂

    So today I received this beauty from my father as an early 30th birthday present. To say I am lucky to have him as my father is an understatement! Check this beauty out:

    Final bump before I withdraw from sale!

    I'm amazed also! Thought it would fly out the door. If you can find a better cab for the money, I'll eat my Sadowsky!

    Been gigging with mine exclusively for the last 4 months and still stand by previous post! My gigging rig is now my Cosmic Ears IEMs, REDDI and a Backbeat. Small pedaltrain with a backup DI, tuner, and Cali76 and that’s it! One trip to/from the car, and it’s the best (non!)rig I’ve ever had!

    Up for sale is my Jon Shuker 5 String Jazz built for me in 2013. It has a couple knocks and bumps having toured the world with me but nothing obvious from the front. Villex pickups and electronics with passive mid cut make for a very versatile sound. It’s not the lightest bass ever made, but plays and sounds great. Comes with it’s original Hiscox hard case, or will knock some off if you want it in a generic gigbag. £925 collected from Chingford, London.

    Met Mark at the Services station halfway between us as he purchased my Darkglass head. Communication was great, paid very promptly indeed, and him and his mrs couldn’t have been nicer people to meet. Highly recommended to deal with. All the best with the amp pal!

    Up for sale is my spare Darkglass Microtubes 900 V1. Fantastic sounding amp, VERY loud and powerful. B3K and VMT drive engine built in, alongside a 4 band EQ with frequency switches for the Low and High Mids provide a very versatile tone shaping section. I personally never even really used the Overdrive, but blending in just a touch if B3K can give you a really beefy sound without being too saturated - perfect for that ‘valve on the brink of distortion’ sound. The clean tones available on this amp are also stellar! Only selling as I have two of these bad boys, and I use IEM’s these days so I barely use either of them! Keeping one around for the rare occasion I have to actually use an amp on a gig. Due to this, it really is in immaculate condition and has hardly been used. I have the original box and Intelligent Footswitch, or I can include a hard carry case with foam inserts for an extra tenner. IEC cable supplied also. The Intelligent Footswitch is a bit marked but functions perfectly. Amp can be picked up from Chingford, East London, or I can post at cost. Delivery/meet up may also be an option depending on where you are as I travel up and down the UK regularly for gigs. No trades at this time. £675 without case, £685 with.

    The AE212 is the one AE cab i’ve always fancied but never owned. Shame I’m not using bigger cabs any more - a year ago I’d have torn your arm off for this!

    Bought Pauls Cali76 Compressor recently - top bloke to deal with, no hassle whatsoever! Highly recommended

    I've never had the pleasure of trying out the 212 actually. Always fancied one, but never managed to pick one up. The 410 always sounded great to me, so no reason to buy one The 410 has plenty of bottom end, with a tight and punchy midrange and a really pleasing top end. I always run the tweeter in round about the 12 o'clock position. I've used it on all kinds of gigs and it's always been exemplary. I'll be sad to see it go to be honest!
