    Nice idea but only a choice of a P or J bass (no Mustang option available) means that even if I had a couple grand burning a hole in my pocket I wouldn't go for it.

    Hoping someone can help, what can I use to pad this case out so my Mustang fits it snuggly (and if you can advise where I can purchase from that would really be appreciated), I appreciate any help with this, thank you

    Wow that's gorgeous, I've had gas for this bass in pink ever since these were released.

    Pedals for sale, these do not have the original boxes (apart from the Eden glow plug) and you will need a 9v power supply for these (not supplied) except for the Spark booster which also takes a 9v battery and the Eden glow plug which takes a 15v power supply which I can provide, please note that the bass tube screamer features a blend knob but you never get a fully clean tone from the pedal, I looked this up and this is normal for this pedal, the clean blend on fully clean just gives you a cleaner tone but not fully clean individual prices as below but if anyone feels like buying the whole lot then we can work out a discounted price Ibanez parametric eq pedal - £65 shipped - sold Ibanez bass tube screamer £65 shipped Joyo Scylla compressor - £30 shipped Tc Electronics Spark booster - £25 shipped - sold Tc Electronics Thunderstorm flanger £20 shipped - sold Eden glow plug tube warmer overdrive now £35 shipped Joyo double thruster overdrive now £20 shipped - sold

    Some cracking bass in on this song Talk Talk - it's a shame bass cover

    I had a black one of these many years ago, I remember mine being a very dark sounding bass, as I was very young with very little electronics knowledge it frustrated me no end, nowadays I would get a solderless harness fitted. I do wish I still had that bass, it wasn't a particularly good bass, it weighed about 15 ibs, the pickguard cracked in 2 places and had a tone that have been right at home only in a dub reggae band but but there is something very cool and quirky about these basses.

    The original song is much better, you are right though great bassline

    As per the thread title has anyone here played both? I have a player Mustang but for around £200 these have a lot of cool features not on the Fender (caramelised maple neck, neck binding, body contours, 12" neck radius) on paper I'm preferring the HB but wondering how they actually stack up, thanks

    Mine is slightly overdriven and on my parametric equaliser a slight boost at 80hz, slight cut at 250hz, big boost at 780hz, big boost at 620hz, slight boost at 1.5khz, these frequencies may vary very slightly but generally this is what works with my current band and I go for an overdriven mud heavy tone.

    I think you made the right call going with the Vintera, I had a Vintera P bass a while ago and I moved it on as I only really play short scales but it was a fantastic bass, way better than any Squier I have they played, you do get what you pay for.

    Definitely noticeably stiffer, the exception being TI Jazz flats

    I don't understand how anyone could argue that his style is not distinctive, you literally know it's him from the moment you hear his bass

    The way that certain strings work on certain basses and some don't is somewhat of a mystery to me. On my Fender Mustang I have tried Fender short scale 95-40(only gauge Fender do then in) Daddario and Ernie Ball short scale strings both in a more standard gauge (105-45 or 105-50, I can't remember) all of which have not quite sounded right. Of the short scale sets the Fender set sounded the least meh so I ordered a 105-45 set of long scale Fender strings with the intention of cutting them down to fit, I put them on and all of a sudden that bass came to life, Strange how that works

    I'm going to have to respectfully agree to disagree on this. To me the description when I looked up the programme seemed quite clear on what to expect which is why I decided to watch it, the description when I looked out up was as follows: Three bassists deconstruct the basslines that defined their careers, beginning with Joy Division and New Order founder member Peter Hook
  15. shoulderpet
    Hooky is my favourite bass player ever so I loved it, would have been bored to tears if it was a greatest basslines show
  16. shoulderpet
    Phew, if they were on sale here I would be seriously tempted

    Thanks for the replies, for those that have tried the Mojomojo other than rolling off the high frequencies is it fairly transparent? (ie is it only the high frequencies that get rolled off with the mids unaffected?) I tend to roll off a little treble anyway and go for a mid heavy sound so lack of treble is not a deal breaker for me, thanks

    Hoping someone can help, I know exactly what I want but not sure what pedal will get me there, I am super fussy when it comes to overdrives I am after an overdrive pedal that doesn't cut lows (or has a bass eq to add them back in if it does) doesn't cut mids and I am not a fan of clean blend as clean blend always sounds like 2 signals to me I am considering the Mojomojo pedal as a possible candidate, any others I should consider Thank you

    A short scale single coil p bass would be good

    The problem I found with the stock preamp is that it was quite scooped but also the treble frequencies were voiced too high boosting treble as well as brightening the tone also introduced a lot of string noise.
  21. shoulderpet
    It can't hurt to try, if that doesn't imply things it is also worth checking that the ground wire is making contact (I had mine years ago so can't remember what the wiring was like but I would assume that like most basses there is a ground wire under the bridge) single coils are noisy but they shouldn't be unusably so.
  22. shoulderpet
    I ordered an Artec but it seems it was dead on arrival, hopefully you have better luck than me. The preamp on the mezzo is pretty hot but I am sceptical that the pickup was too hot for the preamp as a I had a Seymour Duncan hot Spb2 in one a while back and no issues, I actually chose the SPB-2 to counter the mid scoop in the preamp and it was a great match and did exactly that.

    Ok, I raised another return request and they have to agreed to replace the bass so fingers crossed 🤞
  24. shoulderpet
    I've just taken delivery of a Mustang bass from them and there's a section of finish missing from part of the truss rod route, I thought about keeping it as it's a cosmetic blemish but every time I look at the bass it bugs me, especially on a brand new bass. Anyway I contacted them to request an exchange and they told me it's normal and within the manufacturers standards😡 I emailed them back and asked them to please arrange exchange or refund, fingers crossed but I am not impressed so far

    Not wonky just slanted for warmer D and G 🤣
