    Don't know if he's been mentioned yet but this guy is a monster player.

    Mostly him playing along to songs, great if you're into Rush, and he's got some lovely Basses too.

     

    Loved Guy Pratt's Lockdown Licks, always have a click through Andertons All about the Bass, SBL, Bass the World, Low end Lobster, Luke from Become a Bassist to name but a few and of course our very own @Dood has a great channel too (DanVeallBassist).

     

    My other favourites (not necessarily Bass related sorry) are Premier Guitar rig rundowns, Dave's World of Fun Stuff, Circle of Tone, Justin Hawkins, JHS pedals...

     

    Thank you for the TAG! :)

    I used to work for GI and despite having recorded the best part of 400 videos with GI, sadly you'll only find about 150 on YouTube, you'll have to trawl the last ten years worth of back issues to see them all and even then many issues are missing!! GULP!!!

    FOR STUDIOS AND BEYOND

    Providing massive, balanced, and incredibly accurate sound, HR624mkII is an excellent choice for any pro studio. Whether you need an ultra-accurate monitoring setup or you want to add premium sound to your home theatre or gaming system, this THX pm3 approved monitor delivers ultimate performance and sound quality that’s ideal for just about any room or setup. And despite it's size, you will hear and feel deep low end thanks to it's innovative passive radiator design. Because the HR624mk2 and it's larger sibling HR824mk2 share the same design, they function great together, making them optimal for surround systems.
     

    Ultra-linear frequency response for accurate mix translation

    6.7-inch high-precision, low-distortion LF transducer

    1-inch titanium dome, ferro-fluid cooled tweeter

    Optimized waveguide for wide, even sweet zone

    Twin FR Series amps: 100W for LF / 40W for HF

    Full internal damping eliminates midrange artifacts

    Passive radiator provides tight, articulate bass extension down to 45Hz

    Acoustic space, LF roll-off and HF controls

    Balanced XLR, TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs

    THX pm3 Certified for surround sound applications


    A pair of monitors that are as good as new, taken out of their boxes but never reached their intended purpose. I planned to make a second workstation for video editing but I’ve ended up using my recording space instead for now and already have a set of Mackies in there.

     

    You can pick these up EACh for around £450 online, this price represents a very good deal indeed!!

     

    insanely good monitors!!

    Used to play ‘She caught the Katy’ in a band. My wife thought it was a great song too. After a gig she said ‘I really like that She’s complicated song’ took me a little while to work out she meant ‘She caught the Katy!’ 😂

     

    As a youngster, pre- internet I hadn't really understood who Katy was ha ha! - And for those still wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri–Kansas–Texas_Railroad

    Fender jazz bass

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a pair of stunning Power Jazz Bass Specials, which actually have a PJ pickup configuration. Fender Japan were pumping out a few models in "the series"  in the 80's (I guess) and there was a Jazz model called the JB-555 which I am guessing would have had the exact same necks as the Jazz Bass Specials, so, I'd be all over one of those.

    Congratulations on a bold project! Looks great.

     

    As for riff requests, it would be great if you did the demo in the style of Ed Friedland or our very own @Dood playing the same short riff/motif through all the different settings. 

     

    Thank you! Yes, there's method behind my madness! 

    On a side note, I am planning to get all 400+ videos available for easy searching!

    Guitar / Bass building courses - any recommendations?

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    I absolutely 100% recommend the Shuker courses! One of my bass students has recently come back from the course too having made his own bass. I can honestly say (as a professional gear reviewer) his bass sounds amazing! It's been beautifully finished with Jon Shuker's help and it certainly is something to be proud of!

     

    That aside, as Geoham says, I know from experience that other Luthiers hold Jon in high esteem, understandable given the quality of his workmanship. 

     

    Tell him what you need and he'll have the best advice about how to get there!

    What age and model is the Tokai? 

     

    It's supposed to be 1981, but frankly its stock model seemed to be late 1980 to my mind. Hmm, good question! The sticker that you'd usually find on the neck was missing, but I have a funny feeling it's something like "PB40".

    I chose it specifically because its a model with a Sen body (Japanese Ash) and of course has a true "lawsuit era" headstock, which is near  indistinguishable from my actual P bass on stage. Because frankly I wanted my old black P bass back and this was the nearest thing I could get. Turns out, these Tokai basses are incredible and mine isn't exactly an exemplary example. It has been loved in the past! 

     

    Somewhere online you can view all the old Tokai catalogues and honestly, I poured over those for hours trying to find the right model for the job - then, it turned out that my now friend who lives in Japan (where I bought my Aria Pro II law-suit era P from) had one in his collection!! Exactly what I was looking for too!

    Thanks. What cabs would you recommend with the ebs?

     

    There's plenty of options and sometimes it can be down to taste as every cabinet sounds different. They play a much larger part in the overall tone especially when we are dealing with say, amplifiers that are. supposed to be 'flat and uncoloured' as an example. What tone are you after? Something really baked in or are you wanting a more FRFR style experience? 

     

    My recommendations would be what works for me live with the rest of my signal chain and might not fit what you are after. I'll help where possible though! I'm a HUGE fan of the Bergantino 12" ceramics I have at the moment, but I've used all sorts including stacks of Hartke 4.5XLs (when my back still liked me ha ha!) 

     

    If you are wanting to stick with EBS for a matching rig, each of the three models of cabinets they sell bring their own points to the table. When I reviewed the Reidmar 750, I was sent a 4x10 classic. It was so loud the technical team upstairs from the soundproofed studio heard us. 

    Interestingly, many years ago when I first fell in love with the TD650, it was paired with two Aguilar GS212 cabinets. A sound I would dearly love to hear again.

    The HD350 is a great amplifier! I've had the pleasure of reviewing most of the EBS amplifier range and there are certainly a few that particularly stick out as favourites, but you can't really go wrong with any of them. In fact, I have two sat here right now that I am reviewing for Bass Gear Magazine! So, keep your eyes peeled for those reviews.

     

    The TD650 was in my top five amps of all time for many years and it only recently got bumped down the queue recently by none other than the 802. That is a wonderful piece of engineering! 

     

    Congratulations with the purchase, they sound great turned up!

    Finally!

     

    Up on the Dood Towers casting couch, the Magic Era precision tribute. 

     

    Yes, there's certain things I haven't done. I have neither the Schaller 3D bridge or the Schaller tuning keys. The bridge still may happen, but I actually prefer the Gotoh FB30 tuners as they are the same shape as the pre 76 (Nickel) tuning keys that I have on my own 76 P bass. EMG GZR Geezer Butler pickup in there to has a nice top end clank to the sound.

    I hadn't spotted this post previous. I have a QC here on my desk. It's hopefully going to be gigging again soon! The latest update (I think) included a feature that I was really missing after having the Helix many years. I love the form factor, touch screen and 'multi-function' foot switches. It suits my needs and sounds superb.
