Good to meet you. Good luck with the 73 -
-
Just done first festival with it. Loved it.
-
I’ve put a mint green on now like it but might go back to tort or anodised gold

First rehearsal last night. Band commented on how full it sounded.

Just got this from @Tomjbass (cheers bud, good guy) the 1967 Jazz is my favourite jazz - Adam Yauch’s stripped J is my absolute fave. Second to that is Sherwood Green or a gassed off Lake placid Blue to Ocean Turquoise- lollipop tuners, block inlays…so when the Adam Clayton came out, I was looked and thought yeah looks great but for some daft reason signature basses seemed too fanboy. also new too expensive and I’m not a U2 or Adam Clayton fan in particular. But I kept looking at Tom’s ad, and thought it might be perfect for what I’m doing. At approximately 9.5lb a bit heavier than the player 2 next to it but not much. I had the player 2 as a back up the the P bass I’m reluctantly selling - and just had a full set up on it. Luthier ran glue under the frets as a couple frets were dead and a full fret level and dress now it plays brill- but I’m now afraid it’s not going to get played The reason being - did a set up to my taste, oiled board, stuck a tort guard on and been playing it all weekend. The neck has a great silky urethane and a custom AC shape, quite a hard maple and bit neck divey, the frets feel really worn in and rounded edges. So great to play for hours. The best thing though, are the pickups, superb range of tones, if the player 2 had those pickups would be perfect. The heck soloed with birds mute us pure Jameson vibes, and a pick with bridge and 50% neck is brilliant- the time I need for my band. So when my P goes, I’ll be sad but ok going forward with this Jazz. Cheers Tom.

strip it- strip it- strip it!

Bottom pic of me playing is at a festival and represents what colour the bass is.

i've had the previous model for abour 5/6 years and it's been a rock - the only annoying feature is the DI/Tuner out being underneath at back - annoys me each gig - good to see that stuff on top now - if they could make one with the MB compressor then it'd be perfect - great amps - bought the extension took it to Newcastle City Hall and it was way too much said the engineer- sold the cab - just been using the combo - light and loud - all you need -
looks better IRL
-
Yes think so. Absolutely grade A sanding and sealing job - done by someone who knows what they’re doing. Not sure about the heal but really comfortable
-
Incredibly reluctant sale - but honestly, could do with cash at mo, but if it doesnt go it's a sign and i'll regret this - my dream P - John Deaconesque 1972 that was originally LPB has been stripped back and the seal is like the silkiest feel ever - it plays like a dream - sounds incredible - has been modded to house EMG active pickup but put back to original pups - it's alder body so very light (8ish lbs) and super resonant - i often forget i'm unplugged jamming at home - this thing just plays itself - with B nut width of 41mm and proper rosewood board - the frets are worn down but it makes it so smooth - just had deluxe set up at Doghouse Phil's workshop with brand new GHS pressurewounds - a few dings here and there but for a 53 year old bass not that many have pictured biggest - comes with 3 scratchplates- black, red tort and original 72 white that's aged see pics -it's actually slightly a tad darker wood than in pics - the sticker on back of headstock is removable no problems, but thought it looked cool Priced to sell at £2200,- that's the price and you're getting a stellar bass is my bottom line (it's less than what i paid and work/ strings ive put into it) - so no offers pls no trades as have cheaper replacement - I have a double box i can send it in or for £30 extra can throw in a case I'd rather you come to Clitheroe or within an hour to play it and fall in love with it (i feel a bit sick writing this) but postage to UK will have to include insurance so prob £50 again If i've forgotten anything or you want to come see it - or have questions please contact me some videos of varying sound quality of me playing this live. The Leeds Brudenell sound best. The cavern ones have bad quality audio

Poster that went to a few cinemas for Love Story 2008 - a documentary bio on one of the 60s best bands - only a very few were made - i got it as i interviewed the director for a radio interview - sadly the DVD long lost I've had it on my wall ever since but now it's time for a change - grab a bit of very cool memorabilia 100cm x 70cm framed in good condition Can post will be bubble wrapped and cardboard - but will be about £15 - or pick up Clitheroe or will meet within hour of Clitheroe-

Picked this up as noodle bass/back up but since got new 34" noodle bass back up - so this would make great mod platform, or at home noodle bass or great for beginner/intermediate as 32" Scale and super sating neck - and no fret sprout - was really nicely surprised on the QC on this compared to Classic Vibe etc as i'd heard horror stories about Affinity - seems in 2025 they have got their act together - I've but medium scale chrome flatwounds on this - which has made it a tubby thump monster - have the zingy new rounds it came with It's basically new so save a few quid and get nice plate with it Pick up Clitheroe or can post in original Squier box for £10 -or happy to meet up nearish Clitheroe on road -
Thanks - the SGT tone without the IR was exactly what I was after. But hearing the NUX IR 810 Ampeg and Aguilar presets sound great. Also the drive seems subtle
-
I think I’m going to get this as a back up. My ampeg SGT-DI has developed a issue that thankfully it’s under warranty and there’s a service centre not to far away. But think having this too will be good. Was looking at Microbass 3 but people saying it was noisy put me off. How is it for you?
-
Any thoughts on the Nux Melvin Lee bass DI. No compressor but liking what I hear - I only need light compressor at most and light drive
-
Any recommendations for Compressor with drive channel - doesn’t have to be DI - or 2 cheaper compression and a drive pedal.
-
3 month old AMPEG SGT-DI started making intermittent pops and crackles. Tried different leads. Using just the SGT with the supplied power cable. Bought from PMT before the closed. Hoping warranty will still be valid with AMPEG. Have emailed Yamaha UK waiting for reply but AMPEG pedal, doesn’t come up as option in their fault report form Have sprayed contact cleaner in the outputs. Tried both preamp out and cab sim/phone outputs and still crackles every now and then. anyone else having problems or may know what’s happening? Failing Yamaha helping will take to my tech guy. Pity as was loving the tone - was planning on getting a Venture V7 head and cab next year to replace this and have just bass - amp - tuner to take out. Might have to bring that forward as got run of gigs coming up.
