  1. NBD - Excess Roger Glover in the new Marianne Antoinette Blue.

     

    Well worth the 6 month wait through BD (thanks Will). Very modern sounding with a very adaptable Eq. Usual amazing Vigier build quality. May well turn out to be a Swiss Army Bass for all occasions.

     

    One happy Basschatter! 😊

  2. …. So after buying a superb secondhand Vigier Excess 5 from Mattbass6 on this forum, I realised I’m not such an intuitive 5 string player and sold it on vowing that I would get another Vigier.
     

    Being simply blown away by the craftsmanship I had to get a 4 string. 


    One pilgrimage to Bass Direct in Warwick (thanks Ashley and Mark) later, I am the proud owner of this beauty…

    My goodness it’s fast, punchy, modern and I love it!

  3. Hi Matt

     

    Nice Spector fella, that looks and I suspect sounds splendid. You can’t fault these basses. 

     

    I still love my Euro 40th - it does rock like no other.

     

    ps thanks for getting me into Vigier…… it’s become a bit of a Passion? 🤣

  4. I recently picked one of these up for just over a 1/3rd of the RRP having always been a bit of a SZ fan from the 90’s.

     

    Having looked at comments and reviews from the other Bass forum, I was a bit concerned with the judgement that it was a posh Bassballs with a high price tag. I am admittedly a bit of a Bassballs fan but I’d be lying if I didn’t mention it can be a bit of a bull in China Shop IMO.

     

    Anyway back to the Funk Face,  what a superb usable pedal with lots of accessible funk and no loss of bottom end! 
    Caution is required not to go mental with the settings, however a bit of restraint and things are really usable.  
     

    I even did the Bass run from Number of the Beast with it on! 🤣🤘

  5.  

    I’m in the market for an envelope filter but need one that keeps the Bass in the signal. At the moment the choices are MXR M82, Source Audio Spectrum or Aguilar Filter Twin? 
     Can anyone give me some advice/experience/pointers?

  6. Goodness that’s a tough question.

     

    I have run SWR through SWR, Eden through SWR, Eden through Eden, Ampeg through Eden (stinky poo), Aguilar through Aguilar, Tech 21 through Aguilar (stinky poo), Hartke through TC Electronic (lots of muscle not much personality) and now Mesa through Aguilar SL 112’s which I love…

     

    but recently bought an Ashdown ABM 600 and Ashdown ABM 2x10 and 115 cabs and it sounds immense.😃

     

    So for me it’s a draw so far, personally I trust my ears not my eyes.

    I’m looking at buying a second hand stingray. It looks to be in great condition. However, I’m just wondering if anybody in the know can tell me what the deal with the finish on the neck. It almost looks like it’s made of 2 separate bits joined together. 
    is it normal for them to be finished like this?

    Yep totally normal for a standard ray.

    Hi all

    I have a Mk1 Sandberg California active 5 string Jazz/MM. Love it. 

    It has Delanos in it from stock, but I'm thinking about swapping them out for something with a bit more, something, maybe growl....🙄

    Hearing that the Sandberg Black Labels are popular- anyone able to compare the two? 

    Cheers 

    I’ve had two sandbergs one with Delano’s and one with Black Label pickups. The Delano’s were a bit more adaptable, however the black labels were immense for rock and metal.

    This may be in bad taste but the opening post reads

     

    Killed by Death

     

    Then shows the picture of a man who has died.

     

     

     

    If you know your Motörhead lyrics and Lemmy’s play on words it’s not in bad taste imho. 😊👍
