I’ve already been eyeing the bare knuckle pups 😂, when does it end 🤔

I just ordered the sunburst Harley Benton there. Every review I read was overwhelmingly positive. For €109 it looks like an absolute steal. I'll be sure to post a review when It arrives.

About 7-8 years ago Sandberg had a ‘take’ on the fender tele bass (the one with the big humbucker, not the ‘51 style) . I believe it was only available from Thomann . It has since been discontinued. Just curious to know if anyone purchased one? Is there anyone out there in bass chat land ?

Thanks for the feedback on this cool instrument. Now I've got some serious gas 😫 Any opinions on the Squier versions? Even Thomann have an own brand going for peanuts.

Anyone have any opinion about these basses vs the standard split-coil type. Every time I hear them on Youtube they sound great. Kinda spacious but warm, thumpy. That pickup looks kinda small, I Imagine its noisy??

Arrived yesterday, took 5 mins to install Looking forward to trying it out at Fridays gig, didnt take very long to lock down the D tuning.

I ordered one off Bass Direct.

Currently playing in a rock band that cover a lot of songs In DADG tuning. Sussing out a bass extender tuning machine for convenience while gigging . I’m just not convinced that with a flick of a lever the bass will perfectly be in tune to D and then perfectly back to E. I’ve a hunch that I’ll still need to fine tune it...which would defeat the purpose imo. I’ve worked out that a 1/4 turn of the tuning machine is all that’s required (more or less) . At around £100 I’m not sure if it’s worth it? Anyone using these ?

It would seem really wasteful it they were buried in a hole somewhere.

Can old strings be thrown in with recycling waste? I would doubt it given that they’re generally a combination of metals ? Sorry if this has already but I couldn’t find a forum on it.

Anyone ever try those platform thingies ?

Seller collecting a Carslbro 50 top guitar head I bought there a few months ago ‘for the craic’ as we say around here. It was a surprisingly lovely sounding amp for bass but totally impractical. It smelled very nice though 🤣. Oldie woodey burnt dust odour that you can only get with an old valve amp 🤣. And a heavy lump .

When I was in my 30s I wanted maintenance free lightweight hi-fidelity technology that I could put in my pocket Now that I’m in my mid 40s with Dickey knees I want 1960s Cold War technology that weighs the same as a small house and needs constant replacement of parts that were made in countries that no longer exist 🤣🤣🤣

You need to go to another bass forum that I think is called “talk basses” or something??? . Full of angry yanks anyhow 🤣🤣

The one problem with valve heads, small cabinets don’t really work with them , especially if they’re only around 100w. There isn’t enough power to get what you want and they physically don’t fit on them . You need big high sensitivity cabs with them (well that’s what I found )

Definitely think that head needs a lot of speakers

Bit of a rare beast. A 2008 Mayones Jabba4 passive . (No battery box) the switch runs the 2 pickups in series for extra oomph but I rarely use it. Sounds fab.

Here’s some of my stuff (seen be Raggae bass already 🤣)

You need one of these CTM amps . (If you haven’t one already 😂)

The Missus gone to the in-laws with barins so I decided to rig up my stuff together for fun and have a blast . 🤘 very very loud for 100w 😀

Check out my porn rig 😋

I've just sold an unused amp that I bought on a whim...at a loss of course. Now browsing through reverb, Thomann, BC etc and I'm just not feeling the urge to make excuses to get more stuff. Has my gas run out ??? ! To be fair to myself I only made one purchase this year, last year and the year before were ludicrous: Maybe in 2020 I can get through the year without buying anything 😂 (excluding consumable items of course). .........There's an EBS Reidemar 2ohm head that's taunting me however. Would be really handy for my 2 * 4 ohms cabs.........here we go again!!

Might be an over generalization but I just find people here have a bit of a self-deprecating sense of humour and don't take themselves too seriously. I find its a more friendly site and you're not walking on eggshells as much.

The eqs on those Ashdown valve heads are a bit of a art 🤣
