Lovely bass and lovely interpretation and playing! -
Do you clean your strings - if so what do you use
three replied to Petey's topic in Accessories and Misc
I use a microfibre duster most of the time but take the strings off occasionally and wipe them thoroughly with a duster dampened with surgical spirit. The surgical spirit appears to lift some of the gunk from roundwounds -
Sadowsky Outboard Pre Amp
three replied to gareth's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I've had the on-board version of this in a NY PJ and it was lovely - one of the nicest pres that I've used and works brilliantly with Sadowsky pickups (and many other brands, no doubt!) -

Really enjoyed the one I had - lovely 'produced' and polished sheen out of the box. Overkill for me and I really prefer SS pres. However, certainly one of the nicest valve pres that I've tried (and that's an embarrassing list). -
Really beautifully crafted basses - fit and finish is just superb. Really well thought-through too. Viv has clearly paid attention to every detail in the design and production of these instruments. Ergonomics are lovely (certainly on the short-scales - I acquired one a few weeks ago) and the range of tones is really surprising for a passive bass: all very useable too. The finishing is undertaken by Bow as far as I'm aware - certainly my favourite of the UK finishing shops (glass-like and again, fantastic attention to detail). GLWTS and I'm surprised that this is still around - Viv's basses appear to be gaining some serious traction in the US market with a number of big names on the user list- 1 reply

Possibly Mensinger? I had this until recently - whilst not fully chambered, it had a lovely rounded tone with some acoustic content

Fender JMJ Mustang. Just pulled the trigger, video now up

Thanks for the video Police squad - love it. I learned to play on a Mustang (probably a very early 70s one with the competition stripes – candy apple red faded to bronze – it was beautiful) that was loaned to me by a very generous friend. I’ve never really been back to Mustangs but this one has me very excited. I play short scale almost all of the time and everything about the JMJ just looks perfect, from the lollipops to the relic job. I’ll start looking around -
Truly versatile, solid and beautifully built amps - great specs and exceptional core tone (thick, rich, bright and defined). This one looks to be in really good condition GLWTS -
Sale/Trade Alembic Deluxe Stanley Clarke (Price Drop)

Looks like Coco or Ziricote to me - utterly beautiful. Stunning instruments -
Agree entirely, I'm listening on good cans and the bass sounds absolutely lush - 'could float away in it. I don't play long-scale any more but wow, if I did... -
Lovely bass and these really don't appear very often. Does the price include the DS-5 power supply and cable? -
Absolutely, quirky but brilliant - those old MkIV and V TE amps are superb too! -

Thanks Scrumpymike - an incredible selection and a great story. I too have been extremely impresssed with Andyjr's work and his realisation of your ideas in the two Swifts is superb. Both look fabulous but I'm a big fan of walnut. The pickup configuration is really interesting and I can imagine that these are very versatile instruments. I've only ever had lipstick pickups on a Danelectro Longhorn but found them really bright (good!). I'm not sure if yours are custom wound/produced etc. - I need to go back and read the thread. Thanks for posting, it's great to see some of the less common designs and brilliant that these work so well for you
