Hi all, this is a question that I'm going to ask here as you're all players of the big beast. I've been using pedals with my electric bass and they work well. When I tried the same pedal assortment with DB it seemed to such all the bass out. It's odd. I'm using a magnetic pickup into an EBS pre-amp (Stanley Clarke) then through an octaver, fuzz pedal and delay (not all on at the same time!). Partly this could have been because the amp I was using was rubbish (Ashdowm RM 500 combo), so will try on the big rig when I get a quiet day. But any other ideas?

It’s clown level stupidity. People on here will take the time to strip a bass down and photograph it all for something worth £1000 or whatever. To refuse to do so is rank idiocy. My guess is this is an old neck on a new body. Just looks all wrong and the guy should be embarrassed to ask £1500 for it let alone £6000.

This is what drives you mad about the vintage guitar world. I want £6000 but I’m making literally no attempt to prove the age, legitimacy or originality of it. Utter, utter madness. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186382317486?itmmeta=01J3PTKS5936TZS7M2H0Z8MRC0&hash=item2b654077ae:g:AOIAAOSwVARmFAH4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8NdZ7C4IJJAUEd0eDNZTJq%2FQEyON4sDzVdnR4YsJ33vg5Ct6rm7cUjzNQCCHTUzvqq%2Fluwrf3PIXIXvLo3J4CjsZ2X%2B%2FoSWZCkz8QqD%2B8f1XHY3UKm6ySP%2F8cW4l1J7HDvlP%2FSaSnFW4tKjAre9PkSjERd%2BRLml6i6cTmUn4FXcdxJFFDfIvmN9c05Hu56Z5KJLFkQZTemY9tovQ4rYoHEaHvRn%2FxWKYpP1tT6xHSnSkY0c%2BNVcfUMa%2FUNzk%2FOCxOOgW1eILm7hCrll%2F8g0V8VeTogMTHKFodVArDew6KkiaL1W0Y93GKRGrDi5bokgQxw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9iSz9qdZA

1972 Jazz Bass - Verification of a few things
Burns-bass replied to TheStarsmith's topic in Bass Guitars
You did the right thing by getting some extra advice, Lee - no harm done. Have a chat with the guys, let us know how it goes and enjoy your time at BD! -

It’s out of stock because he has put a deposit on it. The guys at BD are pretty good. I’d get your money back or look at the 76. -
The guys from indie rock band Embrace used to sell double glazing between albums and tours apparently. My brother used to work with Roni Size’s bass player (he was a film editor as well - what a career!) Nothing but respect for people who take this path.

This is a legendary hand-built and uniquely finished Dave Hall Amps (DHA) VT1-EQ-DI-Std. This is a Tube Preamp/Overdrive/DI. Comes with a 12V power supply and nearly new valve. I currently use my EBS preamp pretty much exclusively, so this beauty is left in the cupboard looking lonely. Price includes UK postage or you can collect from Bristol and try it out if you want to. -
i'm selling a set of D'Addario Helicore Orchestra (Light). These are primarily an orchestral string and are favoured by those who like to wield the bow (I believe). these came fitted to my Czech Ease bass and I believe they're very recent (a few months old, at that). I've played one gig with them and I found them to be fairly high tension (which makes sense if you're going to be using a bow, I guess). Enough length after the nut for winding at the peg box and they don't appear (to me at least) to have been cut down. The Czech Ease is a full 3/4 scale so there's no need, I guess. I've subsequently swapped these for Spirocores which are my preferred strings and so they're for sale. I'm having a stab at the value. Price includes postage. Hit me up with offers if you want to. I won't use these. Will upload pictures ASAP.

He advised me that it’s more cost effective if he sells for you. He offers a 15% commission basis which is very fair indeed given he does professional photos and a setup.

Looks lovely Brian. -
Love this. It makes perfect sense and it’s great to hear you’re happy with what you’ve done and are doing.
-
Yeah, I get it. I only know a few full time musicians and most of them are teachers in the week and then play in functions bands on the weekends. And no worries for posting twice, doesn’t matter!
-
Oh I quite agree. There was a Radio 4 show about why ignorance is key to innovation. People who approach problems from a unique angle (because they’re savants, non neurotypical, incredibly intelligent or from another culture, for example) can often find new opportunities that others have ignored or simply never considered. Musicians have incredible skills that can be applied in new areas. I used to work with a woman who studied music and played professionally. She moved into music therapy and, from there, moved into the NHS and is now head of a national charity. Power of music!
-
I sort of get it, but there are ways around this stuff. The video was a guy moaning about how people can’t make money from music anymore as the opportunities aren’t there. That’s basically it.
-
You don’t need to have a user account to watch the video. (I don’t have one and I could see it). Isn’t this the same video as last time?
-
That’s excellent advice. I see Mark is selling a set on here at a very reasonable price.
-
It’s currently in transit!
-
Let’s hope they get found!
-
That’s a real shame. I’m sorry to hear that.
-
That's excellent advice. Didn't know the size limitations.
-
I thought the point of BassBros was that it would be setup perfectly for you? Lovely bass.
-
Loads of places online. I’ve not done promo prints for a few years but costs get lower with scale. Double sided printing is more complex so I’d do one side if possible. Not sure of the sizes for QR codes so that’s a consideration. Would a functional QR code fit on a pick?
-
I think if the seller makes that clear then absolutely. However, if you make an agreement and then go back on it, you’re a wrong un.
-
Excellent advice. I’d love to check one out.
