    Had a search through the forum I'm sure this been covered but for about 2 songs i use a Bass Clone and even with crossover and bass turned up it sucks the tone out and makes it sound like volume drop - to my ears maybe it's just not suitable to the 80s indie we're doing? So looking for a lightish (in colour) chorus - thats not too extreme but that can add to tone/even boost that doesnt drag the ass out of the b-ass got about £120 that'll spend - even considering completely not using it but recommendations sought. Been looking at the Ampeg Liquifier and Walrus Audio Fundamental chorus one with the faders - which seems like just the ticket but what say you - i'm not spedning £200 on a pedal i dont really use that much so got to be within budget

    It didnt quite do it for me - just about kept up with band probably needed 4ohm cab - also borrowed a footswitch - but without editing i didnt like the options available apart from basic compressor, overdrive and chorus, it was a downgrade from what i already have - i was doing it so i'd have an easier set up - but it's a compromise i couldnt live with - also the burning smell was there again - might've been a dodgy unit - i've had a lot of trouble with new stuff this year - but it made my mind up to send it back.

    Noticed a bit of a slight burning smell - this just thing burning off residues from inside or should i worry? Also fan can be noisy at home but obv in band setting no one will hear it...whirrrr Rehearsal tomorrow so will see if i made a mistake with the Fender 210 at 8ohm - drummer whilst not a monster - can get loud, ditto guitarist - but i like a loud lead! was thinking for festivals might just get another same 210 cab then will have a 410 at 4 ohm - and for usual 150-300 venues just the one cab

    Got it this afternoon can’t crank it at home. But love the chorus sound doesn’t suck the life out of the bass. Octave ok, T wah…nah! Digging a bright tone but on the vintage amp setting. Overdrive good. The other 2 drives not for me - so will play around via iMac. Compression just needs it on about 9 o clock and that’s plenty. got feeling this might be good for gigging with band I’m with. Went for 700w black cab 210 from Fender it’s 8ohm - my Markbass CMD121 has never needed to go above 12 o clock - so should be loud enough - might go 4ohm down the line. rehearsal next week. Got a gig tomorrow but too wary to go blind with it. Guitarist lending me his GA-FC - definitely needs footswitch

    Sounds great Mine arrives tomorrow- yes think some of my pedals might be redundant- apart from mxr80 as can be in gig bag back up. Guitarist is lending me his foot switch for it too Glad Thomann sorted price out.

    Just not getting played enough and trying to recoup bit of cash from recent splurge insanely pretty natural like new Dub King very light. Got some new La Bella LFTs on it. Superthump - thin neck fast playing - like a violin bass combined with a Guild Starfire with extra padded fender gig bag £20 postage boxed up or north west/west yorks meet up though really could do with cash might consider faded blue Jack Cassidy with case as a swap as prefer 34inch neck

    This is a very beautiful LPB jazz bass (that has gleaned many a comment from other bands) that has one of the finest necks I’ve ever played, since my luthier pal sanded off the sticky gloss - was much lighter but sheer amount of hours I’ve played this has put the colour back in. 7.25 radius and a lush dark rosewood board He also installed some excellent colbalt chrome pickups to add extra bite and note definition (£190 cost me) plus fender hi-mass bridge. I’ve just had the deluxe set up from Northwest Guitars (usual luthier pal was touring at time) with new TI flats. So frets all now shiny and life back in them. Electronics cleaned. Shielding paint applied too - I rehearse under strip lights so was a noisy environment- now not a problem also comes with original bridge with Fender aged ash tray cover (doesn’t fit with himass bridge) and original pickups and spare cream covers Weight approx 8.5 lbs. It’s light but still feels substantial- easy gets through 3-4 hour rehearsals For extra £35 can send in soft case but would rather keep it if possible when bought it historically has had a fine headstock crack and both luthier and northwest guitars luthier said it looks absolutely fine. I have had no issues at all but this is reflected in the low asking price as are the dings or battle scars - that people pay good money for in a relic someone will get a superb bass that is very resonant, a dream to play, feels alive - I’ll be sad not to hold on to this one but having just spent nearly 4k on new gear I need to claw some back. £20 boxed to UK or local north west/west yorks meet up - welcome to come round and have a play too

    First gig for the BBP and yep digging it At first out of the box, felt the BBP to be a bit soulless but totally got over that last night. Great to go from P bass to zingy jazz - my fender jazz has other qualities but can’t see it getting played ahead of the Yam at the moment
  14. Duroc17
    i’d certainly be doing the same - or they might just give discount than go through the process- always had good customer service from Thomann
  15. Duroc17
    Yeah thought £499 was tempting was waiting till payday but…Wondering if a new version is about to drop with an fx loop? I’m going to use the foot switch with tuner on pedalboard
  16. Duroc17
    And they confirmed no import duty. Yeah if I sold my pedals they’d easy pay for this head. Though I’m not doing that till I’m convinced this is the way to go. But yeah great deal.
  17. Duroc17
    Just ordered the Head from Thomann UK BLACK FRIDAY DEAL £422! So hopefully the bit on their website about no import duty is correct and a fender 210 V3 black cab - had a 210 and fender 500 head before and was nice and punchy and will do for what i'm doing now

    The BBP34 passed its audition with the band. Had to turn the amp down. Noisy jazz pup but blended in was great and easy to change down the line. So easy to play. Wore thinner strap and after 3 hours started to feel it. But my wide strap will sort it. Balance on strap great. Did I say so easy to play? Well it was. Keeper.
  19. Duroc17
    This arrived about an hour ago. Keeper. Just put flats on it. Amazing tone, sustain, intonation, playability- yep 👍 well done Yamaha taking it to studio tomorrow- first gig Saturday

    Nice one Dan
  21. Duroc17
    excellent!
  22. Duroc17
    Let us know - but i'd double check - but if not that's a sweet deal and i might follow suit - tho - a new cabinet might be first on the list
  23. Duroc17
    Thomann have reduced the Katana-500 Bass to £499 - it's still 20% on top duty to UK- hoping some UK shops will see this and make theirs sub 600£ - read a comment about the mute button doesnt mute the DI - which seems daft and the fan is a bit noisy - but still like the idea - as some of demo sounds have been great from Bass the World video
  24. Duroc17
    I’ve heard good things about the 400 series (thinking of possibly one down the line) but I wanted something of a sure thing after having last 2 brand new basses both have faults and was a really good deal - I have a superb Japanese Fender Jazz bass and in fact have never had a bad Japanese made bass - whereas I’ve had some mediocre MIAs - so after the short experience with the 734a, I’m pretty confident that the 34 will be fantastic… hopefully
  25. Duroc17
    Yes same pickups same everything except the IRA sound treatment and made in Japan as opposed to Indonesia - and better case. But yes love the passive tone. I used the 734a in passive mostly - I love a sunburst which I’ve gone for but the cream and the midnight blue are nice too- wish they did a natural finish though really looking forward to this one - got some gigs coming up
