I own two zoots which mike built for me and I can’t speak highly enough of his workmanship. Someone is going to bag a fantastic quality instrument there!

I’m actually asking for a colleague who’s looking for something for her daughter. I reckon this will be perfect and great value. I’ll pass on the info mate. I expect it’s whether she can make the journey out from Essex to collect it. 

Will keep you posted!

thanks

Hey there, do you know what model this is? Affinity, VM etc? Thanks!

Could you be persuaded to ship??

thanks...

Afraid not... I think you can pick up expansions fairly cheaply on eBay though.

Offers?

Offers??

I was going to build some cabs and never got around to it. As such I have the following for sale as a job lot. All items are new...

2 x heavy duty spring loaded handles

2 x recessed plastic handles

1 x metal back plate 

4 x large rubber feet

1 x guitar case handle

8 large corners

8 small corners

7 medium corners (not sure how that happened!)

£20 the lot...

For sale... Roland 1u rack mount multi timbral synth. Boxed with user manual. Bundles of vintage patches. £100 or near offer... free tea and biscuits if you want to come to Essex and give it a test drive.

I have a massive pile of bass magazines which I’m not taking with me when I move next month. They stretch back many years and are too numerous to list. If anyone wants to come to Brentwood, Essex and collect them they are yours! Otherwise they will end up dumped which would be a shame 😞

theres a few guitar mags amongst them too but please don’t hold that against me...

Thanks all... just to clarify why I’m planning on using one to improve intonation. I play unlined fretless and whilst I can rely on intoning by ear for most intervals I find it really difficult to hear if major 7ths and b9s are in tune. Due to the natural dissonance of these intervals the ‘beating’ between a drone and my note makes me automatically start trying to adjust the pitch. I’m hoping using a tuner to check these intervals will give me confidence in exactly what they should sound like so I can be more secure and confident in what I’m aiming for! Maybe it’s a waste of time but I guess it’s gotta be worth a shot.

thanks for the suggestions all...

Looking for a clip on headstock tuner which is accurate in semitones to use to work on my fretless intonation? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance people! 

i recently saw an amazing eye opener on getting your head around odd time on Scott’s bass lessons. Scott did a course recently with a drummer (Gavin Harrison?) and he had a brilliant way of looking at this, particularly useful for higher beat groupings such as 11,  13, 17 etc. I’m not going to butcher his method by explaining it poorly here but get yourself over to SBL for a free trial and take a look at the course. Suffice to say in about 30 mins I was pretty comfortable grooving in 19/8 and playing fills across the bar line etc. 

Note: in no way am I affiliated with SBL... other music educators are available etc etc etc 😉

Do it! You won’t be disappointed 😉

Yes as far as I know but not sure if it’s any deeper. As it’s a custom bass not sure if the cavity was routed any deeper than usual mm... it’s a cracking idea though ain’t it! 

Today I picked up my new custom zoot bass from Mike Walsh and... oh my!

firstly, the workmanship is stunning. Every aspect is top drawer. It was great to be able to specify the exact neck profile and radius of the ebony board and mike absolutely nailed it. Although I decided to do unlined on the board facia I’m pleased I got lines added to the top of the fretboard to give me a helping hand. The ebony board is so thick too! Really makes it sing.

its fitted with a Noll 3 band active preamp and amazing pups from Harry Haussell. The neck is a 70s jazz and the bridge is a music man with a jazz coil sitting between the two mm coils. The amount of switching options is ridiculous... it’ll probably take as long to get to grips with the electronics as it will to learn to play it in tune! 😂

if you’re thinking of getting a custom build do yourself a favour and have a chat to mike! 

Hey Lee, yes still available if you want to make me an offer?? 😉

Head rush is now on hold I’m afraid but I’ll put you 2nd in line if you’d like in case it becomes available again?

Forget air con... You strike me as a guy who needs more fuzz in your life! That fuzz factory is an absolute filthy animal! 😉

Ooooh bump. I’m depressed and I have money. This is a bad sub forum for me. 

I can help with both parts of your problem! Buy my pedals and you will have less cash... (problem 1 solved) and you will have more pedals... and we all know pedals = happiness! (Problem 2 solved!) 😉😉😉

Head rush and Mooer fog now on hold...

Hey all, so not sure if I’m allowed to invite offers on any of this stuff (mods?) but I’m going to give it until the weekend before shoving them on eBay. I’d much rather sell to the good people of BC so if you have any interest please pm me and we can work out something you’re happy with.

cheers

Russ

On hold... 

In response to a pm from Ben the bass weighs about 8lbs according to my most unscientific bathroom scales. Not sure how accurate that is but it’s significantly lighter than all my other jazz and p basses. 

Hope that helps

Sorry, just reread your message! You mean dead spots? No issues here mate!

Hey Edd, I’m in Brentwood. A few mins from the M25 / A12 junction. There are no dots on the fingerboard itself only lines which are perfectly flush. There are dots on the top edge of the neck but no issues with these either. 

You know you want to come and give her a go 😉
