    I have tried various IR's from different companies, but for now I am using IR's from Shift Line and Celestion Speakers. Shift Line make the Olympic Bass preamp that works with IR's and they have a free (or pay what you want) pack you can download here: https://shift-line.com/irpackbass. These IR's are quite good and easy to use. I like their EBS 4x10 as a universal cab and I also like their Sunn 2x15 variations. They have got Ampeg stuff in there as well. I really like the IR's by Celestion Speakers, in particular their Pulse series. They are not free, but it's only £11 for the whole pack and they sound really good. They have single mic mixes and also some multi-mic mixes as well. You can find it here: https://www.celestionplus.com/products/bass-responses-by-speaker/pulse10/. They are very punchy and have lots of lows, good with overdrive. I also have their BL10 IR's and they are good as well, but I felt they lack the low-end punch of the Pulse. If you have a 5-string or a low-end heavy bass, you might want the BL10 for clarity. You can start with Shift Line as it's free and then see if you need anything else, really. The problem with IR's is once you have more than 10, you end up always changing them and chasing the perfect sound 🙃

    Hi guys, Still debating whether I should do this or not. I have a Fender Nate Mendel Signature Bass, a Fender’s version of his 70’s Precision Bass. It’s a great bass, especially if you like a reliced look of vintage 70’s basses, and Fender did a great job with this. One of the main selling points of this bass (apart from being played in Foo Fighters) is the neck, as its nut width is between a P and a J (1.615" wide, which is slightly narrower than the regular 1.625" neck width of modern Precision Bass models). Plus, it’s a nice C-shape, so easy on the hands. The neck is only lightly distressed but looks authentic, in my opinion. These days I find myself preferring all maple necks on P-style instruments, so I am putting this forward – I would like to trade this neck for an all-maple neck (Fender, All parts, etc.). I prefer vintage-style necks (50’s Classic, Vinteras), but I can consider different options. Let’s chat! Thanks for looking!

    Hi Everyone, I have decided to part with my brilliant Hamstead Subspace. The pedal is in as new condition, as it has never left my home, and I have never gigged or rehearsed with it. Comes with the box and all the paperwork from Hamstead. If you are reading this, you are probably familiar with this pedal. It’s a fantastic bit of kit as you can use it as a clean preamp with Bass and Treble EQ, light overdrive, distortion, or fuzz pedal. It has three clipping circuits that you can choose from, a parallel dry control. The EQ can be set before the clipping circuit or after it, making this very specific about the drive tone you want. It's an all-analogue design, and the switch is from GigRick, so it’s soft and absolutely silent. The pedal sounds incredible, and the versatility is mind-blowing, to be honest. I bought it for a project that never happened, so it’s sad to see it sitting on my shelf unused. It’s meant to be played or used in the studio to fine-tune your overdrive or distortion sound. I am looking to sell, but I can do a partial/full trade as well. Things I am looking for: · A good passive/active DI box · Bass preamps · A fuzz pedal (no particular model, run them by me) Tracked and insured postage in the UK included. The pedal is in SE London, can meet as well. Thanks for looking!

    I have a set of Fender tuners for sale. I am not sure what the exact model is, but these came off my Fender Jaguar made in Japan. Fender Geddy Lee bases made in Japan have the same tuners or at least used to. They don't have Fender stamped on them. Basically, this is a reproduction of a Schaller® BMF tuners found on many 70's Fenders. I have replaced these with Hipshot HB-2 tuners, so you can use the Hipshot dimensions as they are the same: https://hipshotproducts.com/products/hb2-bass-tuning-machine. Hipshots are slightly smoother and lighter, but other than that not much of a difference in my opinion. Set of 4 tuners, the ferrules and screws (4 per tuner) for mounting are included. £45 posted in the UK. Thanks for looking!

    Hi guys, I have a Gotoh 4 String Bass Bridge in Chrome for sale. It's their 203B-4 model, which is a replacement for a classic 5 screw Fender bridge. Works well for new builds or upgrading the bridge on your Mexican/Japanese Fender. What I like about this bridge is that it's not too heavy like a BadAss bridge, but still feels more substantial, and you also get two additional screws for an even tighter fit to a bass body. Made in Japan, standard 19mm string spacing. Comes with the box, saddle adjustment key. I only have 2 of the 7 mounting screws. It's basically new, it's been on my bass for a few days only. £12 posted in the UK. Thanks for looking!

    I am selling my Blackstone Appliances Mosfet Overdrive in absolutely mint condition with the original box and instruction manual. This is a really great pedal and unique in many ways. It’s praised by guitar players but works exceptionally well on bass, as it can be tuned using two trim pots inside. Plus, there is a removable capacitor that is responsible for the low-end as well. I have used it on my passive Fender basses with no low-end loss whatsoever. It’s a very dynamic overdrive and reacts to your playing dynamics. It has two channels that you can set separately. The first channel is a low gain overdrive that is perfect as an always on sound. The second channel can be set like the first channel with more gain, or it can be tweaked into a different overdrive sound. The recessed controls are unique and help you save your settings without accidentally bumping them. Uses 9V, battery or mains power. Only selling because I have another pedal that I can use for a low to mid gain overdrive, and I need something with a more contemporary sound for the band I am joining. I am happy to trade for another gain pedal like (with cash either way): Darkglass Vintage Microtubes Darkglass Vintage Deluxe Darkglass Alpha Omicron Otherwise, £170 posted in the UK. Thanks for looking!

    I believe they outsource the actual winding as many others do, but the pickups are fully made to their specs. Good pickups nevertheless.

    Hi, I have two sets of flatwound stings that I am not using, so they are looking for a new home. These have been taken of Pbasses that I had previously bought. I wasn't sure what these strings are, but I have asked people on this forum for help and we have identified them as Thomastik and Adagio. I have tried the set of Thomastiks briefly and they are indeed low tension. I am not sure how old they are, but they seem to be in a very good condition. They were installed on basses with vintage bridges, so they were strung through the bridge. I can measure the length if you need. They will come in generic packaging. The first 3 photos are Thomastiks (now sold), the other two - Adagios. £8 for Adagio posted in the UK. Thanks for looking!

    I purchased this pickup from Mark at Limelight (Classic & Cool Guitars) about a few weeks ago. There is a lot of information about Limelight Basses on this forum, and they have an excellent reputation. They make their pickups, and these come stock on Precision Bass guitars they make. These have Alnico 5 magnets, and they are quite vintage in tone. Even though they look very modest, a lot of people on this forum rave about their sound. I think they sound great, definitely vintage with a slightly higher output (not overwound, though). I would describe them as full, clean, and very punchy. These Limelight pickups have a lot of bark with rounds and are great with flats as well. I have installed them on a bass with a solderless harness, so they have never been soldered on. For the sake of transparency, both wires are a bit short, but this is the way they came from Limelight. You can still install them on a P-type bass, no problem. I have bought them for a project, but I am no longer doing the project bass, so these can go to a happy home. Thanks for looking!
