Bit of a weird one this … so I bought a used 5 string Squier, pulled the frets, filled with epoxy and sanded, installed two Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, (£200 right there… ) bought a Musicman-style plate, connected it all up together, threw on a set of gold nylon coated strings and presto … an extremely playable 5 string fretless with a great sound! This bass won’t ever win any beauty contests but it sounds really good. Incidentally, the Squier neck is EXACTLY the same profile as my Fender Elite 5 string, super comfortable and weighs in at 10lbs. Not for everyone, but maybe of interest to someone who’s looking for a decent budget 5 fretless. Pref. pick up in sunny Bournemouth but happy to courier at cost. No case on this one I’m afraid but my packing skills are legendary! Thanks for reading …

Anyone seen one of these for sale in the UK??!

Not in the 34” Omni …. at least not as far as I can see! -
It’s an NS Omni in white. Seem to be as rare as the proverbial here. I am loving my Amberburst Omni, but there’s something about the white ……. GAS!!!

So here is my BG150 - 150 of your Phil Jones watts through four of your Phil Jones 5” drivers. Perfect for recording and small shows…. bigger shows with the DI on the back. In great condition, with an active/passive input and limiter, it’s pretty much a one-finger lift and sounds a lot bigger than it should. Pref. collection in Bournemouth, will travel for gas or prepared to courier at cost at buyers risk!

Thanks guys - all comments and suggestions are understood and much appreciated! I should have mentioned that I would have been using a fretless, so I guess pitch-to-midi is a bad idea all round. Time for a rethink …. gonna try a BOSS SY200 and see what I can get out of that.

Hi all - so I have this idea that I’d like to play some melody lines via a pitch-to-midi device (sonuus g2m) into something so I can achieve individual sounds like piano, flute, whatever. I know I can do this with, say GarageBand whilst recording, but I’m thinking of using it in a live situation….. is there a box that will allow me to select ‘oboe’ or ‘harpsichord’ on the fly whilst on stage?? Anybody?? TIA!

So I bought this bass new from Thomann maybe six months ago just to see if I could take to fretless. Turns out I could, so have since invested in a more expensive instrument. This bass weighs nothing and is actually a lot of fun to play - I put GHS Pressurewounds on it and lowered the action. It sounds way better than it should at this price point… comes with a very solid moulded StudioLogic flight case which I bought off our favourite auction site. It had been hacked around a bit inside but it doesn’t affect anything. Prefer collection only from Bournemouth.

My life in music summed up in one Meme

Same here …. been playing for 50 years plus. Never really made much money at it, but the love of playing music has taken me places and introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise. It’s been an obsession that ruined both my education and social life, still does and I don’t regret any of it! -
Bummer - what goes that mean for the rest of the tour??
-
Caught you guys last night - just before Mr. Sutherland came on stage and cancelled his own gig. Bleedin’ Covid. Loved your band though, a good show!
-
Don’t get it …. maybe I’m missing something. So I ordered two sets of TI’s specifically for Hofner basses, the JF324H. This is what I end up with, (the E and G) which is what I always thought was a def. no-no. Same on both basses, a 1964 violin and contemporary Club. Thoughts anyone?

Hey - could be up for it! Whereabouts in Dorset? (I’m in Bournemouth).

Here’s my second SP212 …. this one is in superb condition - in the original box and packing it came in! Again, incredible sounding in a small package. A one-hand lift (for me at any rate!) The original Orange cover is included of course. You’d be very welcome to try out here or will meet up for gas. Thanks for looking!

You’re right … typo. Read that as ‘77.

I have two of these great cabs available … here’s the first. Great condition generally, drivers in good shape, tolex all good but the handle could do with replacing (although it works just fine) Roqsolid cover included. These sound phenomenal with a tiny stage footprint! IMO, the second speaker pushes out extra bass. It’s just that my tonal needs have changed so I’m now going down the 15inch rabbit hole. Welcome to try out here if you’d like or happy to meet up for gas.

Post your pictures, Lets see what you all look like.

Me skankin’ with my trusty Hofner Club …. -
So I saw the KT Bush band at the Rose of Lee (music pub in s.London) in 1979. Might even have been her first gig…. I remember thinking it was more theatre than anything else, don’t remember there being an actual stage, she kind of floated into the audience (maybe 200 of us?) good gig - stayed to the end! We all knew it was something special…..
