    Cheers guys. I had seen that photo but there was no guarantee its accurate, you know what product shots can be like (and depth perspective). i asked over on TB as well and someone confirmed the sizes, so i have a pair arriving tomorrow.

    On hold pending the usual.

    Hi Andrey. Sorry but I’m not happy to deal with a 3rd party company sending you the bass. Only face to face with the buyer I’m afraid.

    Cheers Bas (looking cool there). I think ive seen that or at least one or two tracks form that session/gig. I think the bass sounds great in the mix, and im finding more and more that's where it really counts for me. As far as pups go, spending £1150 on a bass and having to spend more on changing something is not appealing to me at all, so i'd live with whatever it came with. Saying that, ive heard good things about the black labels. if i was getting the bass custom built those are what id go for.

    Yes, good price for something that also has dots on the fretboard. Its not that i need the dots, i just don’t like the look of fretboards that dont have them. Its definitely a visual thing.

    Cheers Cuzzie. Its actually on Thomanns website for immediate dispatch. Ive been put off buying one in the past by the lack of fret markers on the fretboard (I know that can be ordered with them for extra), but this one has them, and I love the finish on the body. Its closer to my Sandblasted Fender than a normal goss finish. Love the black hardware as well. I’m still thinking if it s worth buying (£1145), considering I’m happy with what i have, but i keep going back to it.

    I just cant find any info on the size of the Fenders. Maybe it is the norm and they would say if it was otherwise. ill send an email to Fender and ask. Cheers.

    Ive had this Cali II in my basket for two weeks now. I just cant decided if I should get it. I have no doubt its a fantastic bass, and i really, really love the look of it, but i keep reading mixed comments about the pups.

    It changed the tone, but i could never get the right balance.
  10. dave_bass5
    Well to be fair, i said I had the amp flat, not that the tone was flat. I realise all knobs at noon is not always flat, but it does work as a reference point when hooked up to other cabs, or using other basses. Keeps the playing field even. IMO the cab is just part of the tone chain.

    I think my problem with my BF cabs was that i didnt have enough mid range. The lows seemed to overpower the rest in both my BF cabs. Not that they weren’t there, just that i didnt find it pleasing. Over the years ive pretty much stuck to P and jazz basses, on the whole. Tend to use my amps mostly flat (although I’m not saying the tone is flat). Ive used many cabs with these heads and basses. I have no idea what true ‘flat’ sounds like, but I do know what i like when I hear it. I just found using the BF cabs produced a low end heavy tone compared to most of what I’ve used. If this is ‘flat’ or ‘neutral’ then it’s just not for me. I firmly believe flat or neutral is not always what its cracked up to be. Finding the right combination is not easy.

    Same here. At first it was great, but i started to notice i was tweaking the EQ more, but was never satisfied at gigs with how it projected me. Seemed to lack a bit in the mid range. Maybe I’m just more happy with a cab like my RS212 that does colour my tone more. These ‘flat’ Sounding cabs aren't always a good thing IME.
  13. dave_bass5
    Agreed. very talented bunch of people.
  14. dave_bass5
    Thanks for the reply. Ill have a look at those. I just remembered that Seymour Duncan do a set (as i used to have them).
  15. dave_bass5
    I’m looking to replace the Wizard 74’s i have in my Squier CV Jazz, and noticed they are different sizes. I’d love the Fender CS 60’s but cant find any info about the size. I’m assuming they are both the same. Soooo, can anyone give me some ideas about what sets come as 2 sizes? Ive seen that EMG list a set but I’d like other options. I just cant get any real info from most of the manufacturers websites. Cheers.

    Been enjoying their videos a lot recently, They all have an amazing talent (some more than one), but this one i find to be particularly clever. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t heard of them.
  17. dave_bass5
    I can honestly say i have no idea what any song is about. Never really listen to the lyrics.
  18. dave_bass5
    Similar rant on No Treble at the moment. Seems slapping is not as popular and cool as a lot YT reviewers think.
  19. dave_bass5
    Andertons dropped the price just after i paid (not from them) £449 for my RS212 😞 Still, great sounding cab so i dont mind too much. I see Guitar Guitar are doing the same cab for £724.00 . WTF?
  20. dave_bass5
    Only the headphone out has the roll off. No way to control it or turn it on and off so it makes sense not to have it on the DI. . You cant edit the Tone prints for the SD, so you are stuck with what TCE give you. Agree about the analogue OD's, at least in my limited experience. I have a Joyo OJ and Ultimate drive (my fav drive), although i tend to use my COG 66 as i like the two channel feature.
  21. dave_bass5
    Have you tried shaking it while its plugged in. See if there is any sign of a signal at the interface. Could be a dry joint.
  22. dave_bass5
    And we all know what discussion leads to.....GASSSSS
  23. dave_bass5
    People are discussing it, that's what places like this are for.
  24. dave_bass5
    Cheers guys. I did try and get a black PG for it but didnt want to pay custom prices. Ive been using it without the PG anyway.

    Ive decided to get rid of my 4 month old Jack Casady Bass as I’m not using it much (at all). Everything in the ad was purchased new in Nov 2018. The bass itself came from Andertons. https://www.andertons.co.uk/epiphone-ltd-ed-20th-anniversary-jack-casady-bass-wine-red-nh-ebjcwrnh3?LGWCODE=EBJCWRNH3;56375;6335&gclid=CjwKCAiAiJPkBRAuEiwAEDXZZbR-F_b3-xiX_Y_JPG5LL3XImuYu5deMk45djqWV_kyY4zoA_Ik2IBoCAVgQAvD_BwE This is the red 20th anniversary version, made in 2017, and comes with gig bag, branded strap, certificate. All the stuff the bass came with is included. Ive upgraded the bridge to a Hipshot (original parts also included), this is a Supertone bridge and cost £93 from Bassdirect. This works a lot better than the original bridge, and i like the look better. The old one will slide right back on if ineeded. No holes were drilled as these are direct replacements. The bass is strung with TI Flats. It also has a set of the latest Dunlop strap locks, and ill include a wide leather levy’s strap that i got for this bass as the bass does have some neck dive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004GF6DXS/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This bass has a fairly unique tone, but does seem to cover a lot of the P bass stuff we are doing, its just tha ti have a P bass i love more. I’ve looked after the bass, so its in very good condition. Its a bit hard to photograph as its so shiny but i cant find any issues on the bass myself. I dont have packaging and dont want to post this anyway, so its collection from central london only I’m afraid. Hatton Garden in the evening /weekend or Southbank area if you want to sit down and try it, otherwise I’m happy to meet up at a station or somewhere mutually convenient in central london to hand it over. Photos taken today. Any more wanted let me know. Not looking for trades at all, as i have my eye in a Sandberg so need the money. Not in a hurry though. Not open to offers too far off the asking price but no harm in asking. Cheers.
