  1. Thinning down the herd, so selling what I don't use. FOR SALE ONLY. AKAI SynthStation 49 + APPLE iPad 2 32 GB Wi-Fi + official SynthStation app + brand new 6 Volts / 3 Amps dedicated power supply and all is in original boxes with all the goodies. iPad 2 comes with IOS 6.1.3 installed (signed version) and is not "jailbroken", so you can use those old apps they are totally unusable after IOS 6.1.3... Will come with the SynthStation app still installed. Factory reset done. In fully working condition. See pictures for the real condition as it's used. The only real blemish is a good knock on one side of the iPad which has no incidence on the device itself and is only cosmetic. I've macro photographed it so you can really see the blemish which is not that ugly. Official price when new was £500 GBP. Asking price is £199 GBP or €225 Euros, shipped to your place in continental Europe : and yes UK is in continental Europe !. This was a very clever idea to join an iPad with a very good master keyboard. Links : And now, the pictures :

  3. No problem for me. On mine, the pickups are much longer than the originals so a ramp running fit square with the pickups would have been very massive and I got it like this...

  8. Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use for different reasons. FOR SALE ONLY. HOHNER Professional B Bass VI "Dark Matter", highly upgraded. The specifications : 34 inches scale. 24 frets (side and front dots), in very good condition. 1.5 mm action under the C string up to 2 mm under the B string. 18 mm strings spacing at the black aluminum Hipshot B bridge (upgrade). 9 mm at the individual string height adjustable ABM 6260 bell brass nut (upgrade). 2 truss rods (fully working). 6 black Gotoh GB7 tuners (upgrade). 3 pieces maple with mahogany stripes neck through. Very nice rosewood fretboard with this pinky-rosy looking aspect you can see on the pictures (not that flashing as there was a lot of sun when photographed). 2 Bartolini G66CBJD dual in-line coils pickups with ebony ramps (upgrade). Noll TCM3 preamp (upgrade) with new battery and a new chrome barrel output jack : volume (push-pull active when red LED is on / passive), blend, low, mid, treble, kill switch (upgrade) with black plastic knobs à la Yamaha (upgrade). 2 maple wings body with 2 stripes of mahogany and 2 black Schaller security locks strap pins (upgrade). Weight : 4.5 kilos (on the light side for a 6 strings bass). Delivered in perfectly fitting molded Carvin hard case (with a plastic part broken on the under side without incidence on the protection : see last picture). Fitted with new DR BKB6-30 Black Beauties K3 coating nickel plated steel round core strings (30 - 45 - 65 - 85 -105 -125). High gloss finish. Complete set up made by Christophe LEDUC. Asking price is £500 GBP (so you are only paying for the upgrades). This bass is certainly the best entry level bass ever made and the upgrades are really worth it, transforming a good 6 strings bass into a wonderfully sounding and playing bass that can be compared to boutique basses. The all black "Dark Matter" look is also appealing and the neck is a pleasure to play with no headstock diving ! Some links : https://www.bartolini.net/product/g66cbjd-b1t1/ http://noll-electronic.de/bass-electronics/tcm-3/ https://www.drstrings.com/coated-bass-black-beauties https://abm-guitarpartsshop.com/ABM-GUITAR-PARTS/Accessories/Nuts/Adjustable-Nuts/ABM-6260-Nut::117.html?language=en The pictures to see the real condition (not that flashing as there was a lot of sun when photographed), which shows only surface wear to the finish except for the black colour hardware which has faded, with this blemish under the bridge pickup done when routing for them (see picture #6) and some strings scratches on the glossy black headstock finish , but nothing really serious. This bass has been played with extreme caution. Judge by yourself :
  9. But you can't play everything you want using the palm muting technique, as it's a technique by itself. Have you ever tried tapping and palm muting at the same time, for instance ? And it's damned pretty interestingly sounding in fact (tapping + Bass-Mute). I think, I'll put my spare one on my Leduc PAD 6 eventually, just to give it a new try.
  10. The advantage of the Bass-Mute is that you have nothing to change to your right hand technique. I used one for years on my main 4 strings fretless for studio and live.
  11. I had two, one four and one five, nice fretlesses, but no double bass sound at all... Also had a lot of Godin Zeta Z1's or other brands names : these were terrific basses especially the fretless ones. And also had two Zeta Prism basses, terrific looking and sounding too, the Zeta BP-410 bridge and electronics were brilliant ideas !
  12. Thanks @fleabag, this reminded me that I have one of these bass-mutes in my big "unused things" box that I have to sell...
  13. Yes and Cort for the bass. Should ask Gillette for the moustache.
  14. Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use for different reasons. FOR SALE OR TRADE. NOW £2000 GBP !!! Quite rare fully original Jerzy DROZD Obsession Basic 7 with some extra options (CITES free woods). The specifications : 35 inches scale. 24 frets (no front dots), in pristine condition. 1.5 mm action under the F string up to 2 mm under the B string. 17.5 mm strings spacing at the gold (option) 2 parts Jerzy DROZD brass bridge. 8.5 mm at the ebony nut. 1 truss rod (fully working). 7 gold (option) USA Hipshot Ultralite (option) tuners. Bolt-on (7 Torx bolts) 3 pieces maple with wenge stripes neck. Ebony (option) fretboard and matching etimoe (close to mahogany) headstock and upper heel (option) => some red colour on the headstock angle volute (see pictures), maybe it's been transported in a red carpet interior case that has discoloured. 2 JeD 7XS split single coil hum cancelled pickups with wooden covers. Active only 18 Volts (option) Aguilar OBP-3 preamp with 2 new batteries and a new gold barrel output jack (volume, blend, low, fixed 400 Hz mid & treble EQ with original wooden knobs). 2 pieces etimoe (close to mahogany) body with gold Schaller security locks strap pins. Weight : 4.8 kilos (very light for a 7 strings bass). Delivered in original well used (but not abused) Jerzy DROZD lightweight foam case. Fitted with new Dean Markley SR2000 2698C round wound strings (22 - 27 - 47 - 67 - 87 -107 -127) => the F string is also wound. Satin polyurethane finish. Made on the 27th of December 2007 (#42206). Complete set up made by Christophe LEDUC. Official price today would be around £6000 GBP if you can get one made as the Basic model doesn't exist anymore and hasn't really been replaced. Also don't forget that it will take close to a year of waiting to have it made. Asking price is £2000 GBP is a very fair price due to the rarity and overall very good condition of this bass. This bass is really terrific sounding, very well defined, absolutely hum and noise free, as versatile as you wish thanks to the construction without becoming aggressive, has an incredibly easy to play neck (you won't believe you are playing a 7 strings bass with a 17.5 mm strings spacing), but due to my right frozen shoulder (which is now non recoverable), the 35 inches scale is a real pain to play and is the only reason why I'm selling it. Every detail is totally thought and everything is close to perfection, which is so rare that it has to be mentioned ! Here is what Jerzy DROZD was saying about this model : "OBSESSION™ Basic™ Five piece bolt-on maple neck with wenge stringers, etimoe body, 24-fret fingerboard, two Jerzy DROZD JeD XS type pickups, active 3 way Aguilar OBP-3 electronics, two piece ( bridge & tailpiece ) bridge, satin polyurethane finish, lightweight foam case included." And about the pickups and electronics : "Our proprietary JeD XS single coil split are used on the entire line of our basses. The latest generation of our Neodymium magnets yields great gain, wide frequency response, and wide dynamic range in a hum-free, compact design. To power our instruments we use Aguilar OBP-3 onboard preamps as standard equipment. Our new JeD XS pickups were specially designed and tuned to get the maximum performance from these fine electronics." Some links : http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/pdf/Catalogo2006final.pdf https://www.deanmarkley.com/products/10474-sr2000tm-bass The pictures to see the real condition (not that flashing as there was a lot of sun when photographed), which shows only some very normal wear after 11 years of use, with deep thumb anchoring marks above the pickups and some other scratches, dings and dongs, but nothing really serious :
  15. Direct pickup coupling, à la Anthony Jackson, is even better than volume only : my newly ordered Leduc U-Basse 6 strings fretless will only have a balance (blend) control. And just 666 posts on the counter right now. 😁
  16. As long as he is not playing his broomintheass music, he can be a very good bass player.
