  2. I’m looking at getting the jazz
  3. Yeah just pups swapped - she did a rug rundown video - great basses for cash
  4. Possibly
  5. I was thinking of getting one of those
  6. Lovely looking and good playing 2021 SX vintage style p bass with SX gig bag very light - no scales but about 7lbs much less than my jazz. Full scale 34 inch. nut 42mm chunkier neck but not baseball bat. Absolutely no fret sprout - this Chinese factory are going the extra mile for SX - amazing quality for the price. Strung with flats but probably can find some decent rounds too Possible great mod platform but pretty good as is. Make a good spare or knockabout was in need of a good set up when I got it. Cleaned and Have tightened everything up, given truss rod half a turn, intonation 98% there now. priced to sell at £135 plus £12 postage to uk.
  7. Cheers Sir. Just started this new project- funny story our debut 10 Aug - Will Sergeant turned up to check us out! https://x.com/Will_Fuzz/status/1822610225121157278?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
  8. Can be heard here - compressed then mxr80 then bass clone through mark bass combo 112 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/TgXN1j3rUBXruGYd/?mibextid=WC7FNe
  9. Yes good. First rehearsals and added bite, clarity and punch. Really happy - turned an already good bass into a great bass. They definitely have sauce as the kids say. Kinda like paying £200 for a pedal but that’s always on. Well balanced and not overly aggressive, kinda mix between modern punch with vintage warmth well done Tim Shaw
  10. will report back - hoping for less noise and a bit more note definition - the originals are good but have a bit of hum when not both full on - saw the colbalt and thought give em a try - pricey gamble but videos have been good on these
  11. Just arrived.
  12. Just ordered them for my jazz - £205 from gig gear paid for from last gig - hoping as advertised they’ll be quiet and have more clarity they look good too. Once compressed my G string sounds different more zingy than my other strings so can alter the pole piece now get them hopefully at weekend- will report back after next rehearsal
  13. Actually in the end went for the colbalt bass one from Fender - after again watching videos
  14. Gone for the Gen4 noiseless fenders £151 with delivery- watch a few videos - look like what I need.
  15. Was looking at the Gen4 Fenders as I don’t fancy a battery really. Cheers
  16. I have a passive Fender Japanese Jazz bass circa 1998- 2000 and it’s ace but I get single cool hum unless both pickups are on full. I like the sound at about 90% neck and 60% bridge - but hate the hum - 100% on both is just not doing it for me. Looking at up to £200 to replace. What recommendations do you have. I play in an Echo & The Bunnymen tribute now and Les had a 70s MIA Jazz - where as mines a 62 RI but no too bothered about getting 100% his tone - just freedom from 60 cycle hum ta in advance
  17. Surprised how good these are for the money GLWTS
  18. Funny enough I was just watching a video on 4 cable method which said modulation and delays to be in fx loop. I’m going to try it. After I try the chorus at end of chain - though if I go ampless it’ll have to go back into before mxr Di
  19. Nah keeping it. Be a good back up Lovely looking and good playing 2021 SX vintage style p bass with SX gig bag very light - no scales but about 7lbs much less than my jazz. Full scale 34 inch. nut 42mm chunkier neck but not baseball bat. Absolutely no fret sprout - this Chinese factory are going the extra mile for SX - amazing quality for the price.

Cleaned and Have tightened everything up, given truss rod half a turn, intonation 98% there now. prices to sell at £135 plus £12 postage to uk. Or possibly trade for jazz SX or Squier Jaguar or maybe a semi but 34 or 32 inch

  20. Thanks sir I'm getting noise after chorus which is after compressor - which when i add the MXR at the end (so boss tuner/ Seymour Duncan compressor/ EHX chorus/ MXR preamp di) then i have hiss from treble on the chorus - without the MXR it's great no hissing - the MXR was an afterthought and doesnt hiss on it's own - but i need chorus for 80s stuff i'm doing at mo -
  21. Hiya I meant about going into the balanced line in on the top of the MB (it's a CMD121 combo) from my pedalboard to reduce noise then use the amp's DI to go to front of house - that is when i'm using the amp - i was just wondering if using a Preamp into XLR in on MB would cause any problems? ta
  22. Hi All Mark Bass manual isn't clear - but the balanced line in - i take it it's for double bass inputs but could you take DI output from MXR Bass DI into balanced input - i'm guessing this doesn't bypass the power amp - instead you'd need to use the FX send and return to bypass the power amp I think i answered my own question but wanted to check the bass brain whats best as i want the pedal board to be the source of my sound and the Mark Bass to be a monitor which i can use or not use if i choose ta in advance - my tiny brainand lack of MB details on manual doesnt help
  23. Great pedal as you'll all now, it's only about a month old - just going down different route - so surplus to requirements - has velcro on bottom Here's what MXR say about the Bass Preamp The MXR Bass Preamp combines a pristine bass preamp with a studio-quality Direct Out in a Phase 90-sized box, providing clear tone without hogging precious pedalboard space. Use it to add a new voice to an old passive bass, sweeten up any amp, or put some special sauce on a particular song. Dial it in just the way you want it and send it straight to the house-pre or post-EQ-with the built-in Direct Out. The Bass Preamp features separate INPUT and OUTPUT level controls and a 3-band EQ section with sweepable midrange-from 250hz to 1khz-for extensive tonal flexibility. It's all delivered super clean with high headroom thanks to our own Constant Headroom Technology, and you can use the PRE/POST EQ switch to set whether or not your Direct Out signal is affected by the Bass Preamp's EQ section. And of course, the Bass Preamp features a GROUND LIFT switch in case you encounter ground loop hum. The Bass Preamp is factory preset to operate in 1/4" out buffered bypass and Direct Out active. For players who only want to use the 1/4" out, there are two internal switches that disable the Direct Out and 1/4" out buffered bypass for true 1/4" out bypass mode. £125 posted in original box plus bubble wrap and outer box to UK
  24. Yes certainly one of best pedal compressors I’ve used.
  25. Cheers yes. Very useful and quality
