    Hi guys. Going through my drawers and I have a lot of stuff seeing no use now. Worth noting none of the pickups have screws, but these are easy to come by. 1. Tonerider Precision Pickup - I believe a TRPB-1. No Screws. GONE!!! 2. Set of Entwistle JBXN Jazz bass pickups. These get a great write up, and with good reason. They are tremendously loud, very nice Jazz pickups - GONE!!! 3. Fender JJ bridge pickup. This type of pickup was on the "modern player" series Jazz bass. SOLD!!! 4. Wilkinson Jazz bass pickup set. Came in a Harley Benton. Not bad for price. £10 delivered for the pair. 5. Dunlop Strap Locks - black. bought these for a bass that I moved on before installing these. Still in box, untouched - GONE!!! 6. Black Jazz bass pickguard. 3-ply black/white/black Northwest Guitars brand, never used. Takes 10 screws (not included) - GONE!!! 7. Fender US Active Preamp. Active Fender US Preamp for P/J or Jazz basses. Needs some love (new battery compartment needs to be fitted, new Output needs to be fitted). Because of the work needed, selling for £30 delivered. Comes attached to lovely tortoiseshell P-Bass pickguard.

    I had one just like that but sold it. Regret it a bit to be honest

    Sold Pending all the usual...

    I have been offered an Xvive Bass Squeezer for relatively little money. I have had a look at some reviews and it seems ok, with a built-in drive circuit and very basic compression knobs. I am tempted. That being said, the built-in compression in the Boss ME50B has sounded good so far, so who knows.

    Don't know how I managed to overlook Risk to Exist by Maximo Park. Great Album, some great basslines, great to dance to. Superb.

    A more extreme example of what can be achieved with a cheap instrument and a clever Midlander that can do her up: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/298152-finished-pics-lighter-and-with-pizzazz-pumping-up-a-harley/?page=6#comment-3232961

    Please see AndyJR's build thread on a Harley Benton Jazz.

    Yeah I have just had a search and I believe it is still available so maybe. For now, I have pulled out and wiped the dust off the old Boss ME50B - it has a few compression settings to fiddle with despite it being fairly limited. But hey, some of the other effects on there are pretty nice too so will have to use it a bit more methinks.

    Maximo Park - all their albums. I saw Risk to Exist on Spotify and thought I'd download all their albums again. Have since seen them 4 times this year. Also, Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals. Packed with great choons.

    The Marshall and the Joyo ones are both "guitar" comp pedals - is there any real difference in performance between the two? Should I just be looking at good guitar compressors?
  13. YellowLedBetterBass
    Just checked - It's now discontinued They do have the Behringer Limiter/Enhancer thing though that has mixed reviews for £20 or so. Might be worth a punt?
  14. YellowLedBetterBass
    Hi guys. Does anyone know of a cheap bass compressor that's decent? I have found a few recommendations for guitar but until now, no decent bass ones for less than £50 or so.

    How Did We Get So Dark - Royal Blood or Everything Now - Arcade Fire or After Laughter - Paramore

    Hi, I would prefer collection aye, but I'd meet within 10 miles or so for a shady services handover and maybe a bit further for petrol change.

    With a heavy heart I am listing for sale my bitsa PJJ. With me moving house and planning a build next year, I need to cut back on basses. It was bought on this site around this time last year and has seen some changes since. The neck is a no-name one Jazz-type one with a rosewood board, pearloid block inlays, cream binding and a 'Mojo' waterslide decal on the headstock. There is a Hipshot string tree and MIM Tuning machines. The body is a squier one, in a 3-tone-sunburst finish, fitted with a Seymour Duncan SPB-3, Fender USA dual coil jazz humbucker and a KiOgon wiring loom with coil split for the bridge humbucker. There is a battery box on the back of the body as once upon a time there was a preamp installed, but I wanted to make the switch to passive. Finally, there is a MIJ threaded saddle bridge and it is strung with Rotosound flats. The only picture I have currently is this one here, stood next to my "signature" jazz bass. I will get more pictures later if my phone allows 😅 The bass was put together and given a setup by our very own AndyJR, and as such plays wonderfully. Price is £225 collected from B36 Birmingham, but will listen to offers and trades.

    I will have Wombats, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Ocean Colour Scene, Kings of Leon and The Drums album please?

    [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1506312850' post='3377769'] The Law of Bass n = B + 1 n is optimal number of basses B is number of basses currently owned. You can't argue the maths [/quote] Ive saved that quote for a later date

    In a random bout of GAS Ive been looking for something with a Music Man style pickup and sound. That being said, the few actual Music Mans (Music Men?) I have played I havent liked the weight of or the neck, but the sound has been killer. So who are making good, cheapish clones? I know Cort do a something-or-other with a P or J pickup as well as the MM, and I do like the look of these, but any more recommendations?

    [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1503655470' post='3359966'] I could never get on with the modern Thunderbirds for that reason. The old-style Thunderbirds have brighter pickups so popping in some Thunderbuckers is an option. Bit pricey though! I'm really looking forward to getting my hands one the new Epiphone Thunderbird - if they've nailed the pickups it will be a monster. [/quote] Its funny you mention the new one. I saw the thread on here the day after I bought mine. If I'd have known I probably wouldve held off for the new one because they look awesome. Although, I could own two birds...

    Hi all, So a few months ago I bought myself an Ep Thunderbird Classic, the white one with the Gibson USA Thunderbuckers. Lovely bass. Nice, fast neck, surprisingly well balanced and looks cool af. Thing is, I'm having trouble getting the sounds I want from it, particularly from the neck pickup. All seems very muddy with little to no top end unless I completely roll off the neck pup. Any Thunderbird users give any recommendations of what I can do re EQ on amps, string choice, etc, to brighten it up a bit? I know Jared Followill (Kings of Leon) used one of these Epi Birds for ages and got some great tones from it, so surely it can be done. I love the look and how it feels and how it plays, but Im still trying to get the sound 10/10 to match.

    I remember playing this at the GMMB. If I had the money trust me it'd be mine. Instead I just have to sit here and be jealous...

    [quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1500893889' post='3340843'] I just popped into a well known Birmingham independent store that has just moved to new premises (I won't say which in case it's considered promoting the sale of Fakers!) and they had a load of Rockinbetters on the wall for £399 (in-store only...) two of which were white with checkerboard effect binding. I recently traded my Fireglo Rockinbetter due to it's weight and I mistakenly thought I'd got the whole Faker thing out of my system. Having seen the white ones I'm now not so sure. Probably a good thing I left my credit card at home... [/quote] I think i know the store in question...
