The best preamp available currently in my opinion. Their amplifiers and their Trilobite and Minnow pedals are just outstanding.

I’ve had just shy of one hundred basses since I started playing when I was fourteen (I’m forty-three now) but have had just one bass for the last five years.

Since meeting@ambientin 2015/16, I’ve switched to six-string bass and only had one bass at any time too. I find a six can cover virtually everything.

It's subjective of course but I prefer this to the Noble personally.

Amazing sounding and so versatile.

Grab a bargain folks!

I just picked up a new EHB1265MS-NML from Andertons, after seeing it on their website a couple of weeks back due in soon, and putting a deposit down. It's one of only two they got into stock, and the other one was sold before it arrived as well.

After my niggles with the EHB1505MS two years ago, I have to say this is quite a different animal. Knowing what the potential pitfalls are helped, but not only was this very playable straight out of the box, but the preamp re-plugging (as suggested by @fretmeister in my original review thread) made a substantial difference to the sound - not just a higher output, but noticeably more top end bite. I'll stick with the factory-fitted Barts for now, but I'm interested in the replacement Aguilars, just not interested enough to shell out £299 for the set!

 

I love the look of the walnut top and ash body combination, much less gaudy to my eye than the pacific blue burst, but more interesting than a solid colour. I also have a Dingwall Combustion, so the multi-scale was no surprise, but the 35"-33" scale is really nice to play - not as much of a stretch as the Dingwall's 37"-34" scale. Particularly since re-plugging the preamp, the EHB has noticeably more zing and bark to its sound, making the Dingwall sound a little pedestrian in comparison.

 

The strap button's going to have to move though. At least with the fanning of the tuners due to the multi scale, it can be re-sited on the body in a more traditional position in line with the middle tuner, which will help with the neck tilt issue. I've got a rehearsal with one of the bands on Sunday, so I'll report back once I've had a chance to use it in anger! First impressions are very positive though.

Nice little initial view that - thanks for sharing!

What do you mean by “preamp re-plugging”?

I was just researching the Ibanez EHB1506MS - I quite like it - for those who have one or have had one, what are your thoughts/experience of it and do you know whether it’d fit into a guitar gig bag? Cheers.

Wonderful ! What's the weight please ?

 

Br**it sucks ...:-(

 

According to my bathroom scales, it is 11.2lbs.

SOLD

If this was a six, I'd have it.

Great seller by the way folks.

My pedalboard is finished... well for now at least!

Instant payment - perfect transaction - cheers Phill.

Sold.

I’m looking for a padded dust cover, to put over my pedalboard when I’m not using it.

 

Does anyone know where you can get such a thing please?

At home, I just have a pillow case over the top of my pedalboard to stop dust and stuff getting into everything.

At a gig, I don't have anything to cover it but, so far, things have been okay there.

Really nice!

Pity you don’t have the Tone Hammer available - GLWTS.

Stupendous !!! If only it was a four stringers 😭

If only is was a six string 😃😥

Amazing pedal - If the Alpha Omega didn't exist, this is what I'd have.

And £300 for a brand new pedal - incredible value - GLWTS.

Sorted - jedspeds.co.uk 

Hello all - have any of you folks ever replaced a hard switch button with a soft switch on a pedal?

If anyone has, what type of soft switch did you buy and where did you buy it?

I live in the other side of the earth, joined BassChat only to hunt a T-16.

Like a few other folks here, I emailed Cog and was ignored so I bought an MXR M280 which is actually pretty great.

You have to I guess adapt what you’re doing?

 

Michael Manring used a Musicman Stingray in his early days, before he started using Zon basses.

@ambientI’m too reliant on the low B and high C nowadays 😃

As my university tutor said, it’s how you play.

 

You’ll see a Fender Jazz being used in rock bands, funk, jazz, CW, blues.

 

I’ve seen fretless bass used in metal.

I agree to a degree... but I'm not sure you could do a lot of what you and I do with a Fender Jazz

Just found this thread after searching for a T-16 - what a pity that it looks like Cog aren’t going to be continuing.

Im suprised that this hasnt hadnt had more interest. The price is subjective of course but ive played a few of these and they are the real deal 5 string jazz basses. 

I'm surprised too and I think the price is on point - I've owned a couple of 4-string versions and a 5-string also - I think they're excellent basses - I would definitely buy this if I wasn't playing only 6-string bass nowadays - thanks @ambient.

And despite seeing two for sale on basschat recently, they're actually very, very rare too - before now, I don't recall seeing an FMT Jazz available here for years.
