  1. I play bass in an 80s electronic covers band and I have a couple of synths I use with them. One is a Waldorf Streichfett for string synth sounds but my main one is a Novation Xio49 virtual analogue 4 octave synth with 200 presets and on board FX to cover everything else (mainly bass) 

    I had two but let one go which I now regret and I’m keeping my eyes out for another)

    I really like the sounds from the Xio.

    Sounds way better than anything else I’ve come across for anything near to the price (I picked up both my Xio49 synths for under £100)

  4. thank you those who expressed an interest in the Valenti. Now withdrawn! 
     

    Made by Nino Valenti, NYC, USA. This bass is #146, as per the title and headstock facing, and the weight is 8.5lbs. Body is swamp ash with trans white finish, bound maple neck with pearloid blocks, Aguilar pickups and Sadowsky preamp with VTC vintage tone control. Hardware is Hipshot bridge and tuners, Superb player. Owned by me the last eighteen months and while I do love this Valenti,  I currently have five jazz basses! 

    Tentative feeler looking for a possible trade, first choice would be something by MusicMan eg Cutlass, Caprice, Sterling or StingRay. 

    A Warwick Streamer Stage 1 would float my boat too. 

    Maybe an extra special G&L (sparkle finish/flame top etc) 

    Other basses considered too but please don’t be offended if they’re not something I’m into.

    Nothing with a 1.75” nut width

    I prefer rosewood or ebony boards to maple though not a deal breaker.

    Lastly I’m going to leave the ad up for a bit to see what’s out there. 

    Thanks for looking!

  5. Will bought a couple of basses from me and was a great guy to deal with.  Both times he paid in advance and was really easy to deal with throughout. Didn’t meet Will in person but his mate came round to pick them up and he ended up sitting an hour chatting about basses, synths etc over a cup of tea. I hope to return the favour sometime and buy a bass from him. The last couple I enquired about had just sold.

  6. Bought a USA G&L JB-2 fretless from James which arrived today and is as described and perfect in every way for me. 
    Fantastic instrument which plays wonderfully. 
     

    the whole transaction was painless and James was a great guy to deal with. Very helpful and got it to me bang on time for my days off work. 
     

    If you’re buying, selling or trading with James then do so with the utmost confidence. 


    many thanks James

  7. I played a pair of Tribute JB-2s with my last band over USA MusicMan,G&L and Fender basses which mostly sat in their cases. 
     

    Same with an Overwater Tanglewood Aspiration Elite which was so good I didn’t play my Fender Dimension Deluxe 5 or G&L L-5500 (both USA) nearly as much as I should have.

     

    I would think Sire basses are getting a lot of playtime over much more expensive basses within players’ collections too for much the same reason that a good bass is a good bass at any price.

  8. Bought this Sledge Sabre today which I’m going to alternate with my sunburst/maple Classic Sabre for upcoming band work. 
    I’m thinking of a neck swap too and going sunburst with rosewood and maple with grey. Leaning towards that but will give it a few days playing them as they are first before deciding.
