    Candy Apple Purple? Sounds cool. I first thought you had made it up but guess what, there IS a bass in that colour - The 2020 Rickenbacker 4003 Candy Apple Purple Limited Edition and now I know who came up with the name 😉 "We are excited to introduce our new 2020 Rickenbacker Fab Gear Limited Edition Candy Apple Purple 4003 Model Bass. This is a Fab Gear exclusive, a limited edition run of only 30 numbered basses are being made for us. The stunning new Candy Apple Purple finish was inspired by the late 60’s Mopar muscle car color Plum Crazy Purple, a fabulous color Rickenbacker has never before issued, and is an exclusive for Andy Babiuk’s Fab Gear! We worked directly with our good friends at Rickenbacker, to design this super cool, limited-edition bass, and chose some ultra-cool specs like: checkerboard binding, vintage knobs, vintage nameplate, vintage toaster pickup in the neck, and more!"

    What an amazing looking bass. I can hardly cope with 4 strings, so I am confident that I can resist the temptation of buying a 5 string 🙂 GLWTS 👍
  3. Eldon Tyrell
    I know that feeling.

    Wow. Great price. New these go for almost £400! GLWTS 👍

    Also note that it says April 13 in the ad, which happens to be the first day of NAMM. So, we could be in for some more announcements in a week's time.

    Thanks. Interesting video. However, Sheldon got some details wrong. Rio was Duran Duran’s second album, not their first (that was “Duran Duran”, released a year earlier in 1981). Second, John Taylor was not 17 when he recorded his basslines for Rio but 21 ½. Third, Queen Elizabeth II did not “have a Neve PA system” but Rupert Neve “provided public address for Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth II at the reopening of St Andrews church” (see Rupert Neve Designs website).

    Anth just bought my GHS strings (flats and pressurewound). Transaction was super smooth and I received payment literally within a minute. Great stuff 👍

    Now comes with a set of mildly used GHS Pressurewound M7200 44-106 (home use only, bought in August 2022, cost me £46.99 plus £3.99 delivery, total of £50.98), taken off my EBMM Stingray 4H.

    More importantly, Ernie has been dead for nearly 20 years!

    Yes, he can be whacky at times, his claw shtick is a bit lame, and his fashion "taste" is, well, questionable to say it politely. However, I do like his reviews as they are proper "reviews" (he is not getting paid for them and he sometimes does rate basses lowly, just check out his videos on the Fender Gold Foil Jazz Bass (no claws out of 5) and the G&L Placentia JB (1 claw out of 5)) and not, more or less, concealed gear demos like what we get from most of these YT clowns ("Hey, I got this amazing (insert any random bass/pedal/amp of the week) that you have to check out. It's awesome, the best ever, you cannot live without it, your life will never be the same again (enter any other effxxx hyperbole)!") 😎

    Selling is the new buying!

    I am selling this beautiful 2004 Fender American Series Precision bass in chrome red. I bought it pretty much a year ago here on BC and the previous owner clearly took good care of it. It is in great condition for an almost 20 years old instrument. There are some scratches (mostly on the back, difficult to photograph but see one photo below for a larger scratch) and a dent (see photo below) but apart from that, it is in really great shape and plays well (no fret buzzing, noisy electronics, neck issues etc.). The bass weighs 4.2kg. I made the following changes/mods (I would call them upgrades but that’s for anyone to decide): I added a Hipshot A Style brass bridge (£90), the Fender Pure Vintage 63 Pbass pickup (£110), a KiOgon P-bass loom with CTS pots (£36), and 2 Fender Potiknobs (£20). I have also just put on some new strings (D’Addario EXL 165, 45-105). Of course, all the original hardware parts that I replaced come with the bass, including the S-1 Switch for series and parallel wiring and two extra pickguards - one from WD (solid black) and one from D’Andrea (3-ply - Black/White/Black). Collection would be recommended but I can also ship it (UK only, sorry!) using the original hard shell case and a decent courier. Shipping would of course add some costs. Specs: Photos:

    I am selling my mint Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion pedal. I bought it back in June last year and only used it a few times at home. It is in pristine condition. It is currently stored safely in its original box in a pet and smoke free house. The price is firm as new ones currently go for £189 (GAK, Gear4music), £199 (Andertons, out of stock though), up to £220 (Thomann). Here on BC, one recently also sold for £125, so I think it is a fair price. Shipping costs are included (UK only, sorry!) using a decent courier. About the pedal (from the Source Audio website): "Get down and dirty with the AfterShock Bass Distortion. Out of the box, this stereo pedal delivers three bass overdrive engines that span the gamut of low-end crunch, from smooth and natural overdrive to full-on fuzz attack. The Tube engine belts out a subtle, but powerful vintage tube overdrive with a smooth breakup and plenty of punch. Heavy creates an aggressive scooped sound with ample highs and thundering lows. The Fuzz engine offers intense germanium fuzz tones with loads of bottom and mucho grit. The Aftershock’s simple, yet powerful control panel provides the tools to finely sculpt the perfect bass tone. The Clean knob lets you to mix in just enough clean signal to maintain a rock-solid low-end without compromising the pedal’s SONIC GROWL. Adjust the onboard Tone control and find that thunderous sweet spot for any bass/amp combination. The Official Aftershock Demo Video By itself the AfterShock offers tremendous tonal range, but dig a little deeper and discover its hidden power and flexibility. Every pedal in the One Series line is compatible with the Neuro Desktop Editor and Mobile App (free downloads iOS, Android, Mac and Windows). Connect the AfterShock to the Neuro Editor and access its extended equalization capabilities, stereo routing options, as well as Source Audio’s free library of over 40 overdrive, fuzz, and distortion algorithms for bass AND guitar — each algorithm can be downloaded directly to the pedal. The Aftershock is also built on dual drive platforms providing the opportunity to simultaneously run two fuzz tones in parallel, stacked, or split in stereo. Plus, every One Series pedal is fully MIDI compatible when coupled with the Neuro Hub (formerly Soundblox Hub), providing the power to save up to 128 different presets." Specs: Pedal Type:Bass Distortion, Fuzz Analog/Digital:Digital Inputs:2 x 1/4" Outputs:2 x 1/4" Other I/O:1 x 1/8" (control pedal) USB:1 x Mini-B True Bypass:Yes, switchable to Analog Buffered Software:Neuro Desktop Editor (Mac, Windows), Neuro Mobile App (iOS, Android) Power Source:9V DC power supply (included) Power Usage:150mA Height:2.21" (including knobs) Width:2.75" Depth:4.58" Weight:0.62 lbs.

    Last summer, I bought a set of GHS flats for my Stingray but never used them. Cost me £41 (£37 for the strings, £4 P&P), can be yours for £25, incl. P&P, UK only.

    For a used BB, I would go straight to the source, i.e., Japan. I recently got my 1200 from there and it is in great condition for a 45 year old bass. Reverse P and neck-thru, sounds huge!

    None

    Great looking bass. Very tempting as I am currently on a Yamaha trip and love red basses. So, I did some digging and the Attitude Specials were made for two years only in the mid 90s. They were made in Taiwan. Here is an old Reverb post with the info (also a seafoam green model) https://reverb.com/item/2777967-yamaha-attitude-special-bass-1994-seafoam-green-billy-sheehan-w-deluxe-hardshell-case-included

    Speaking of non PJ BB's, I recently got this beauty which needs no introduction. It is from 1978, which is great as the world's most expensive bass ever sold at auction (same model and colour but obviously LH) is from the same year: https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/2021/12/paul-mccartneys-yamaha-bb-1200-bass-auctioned/ The bass is in pretty good shape and sounds killer. I really like the reverse P and neck-thru combo, same as on my Spectors (but they are PJs, expect for the NS-1 and the Euro 77). Great bass!

    It's from 2004 (serial nr: NB3608) From the Spector website (https://www.spectorbass.com/faq/) If there are four digits after the NB, you would add (1) to the first digit to determine the year. Examples: NB 0212 = 2001 NB 2517 = 2003 NB 9914 = 2010
