  1. Wondering if I should change the strings for rounds and do another video?
  2. I had a Series 3000. Such an 80s icon! Bombproof neck . Cool AF
  3. Omg want! Can’t have as I have no space for one and it won’t suit my need in an amp but I’ve loved these since they first came out. Legends.
  4. thanks Nik- it was a pleasure to geek out with you over the basses, and I really enjoyed your playing. You’ve properly got the chops!
  5. I have had a great meet up with a fellow bass-chatter who came around with a couple of very yummy basses but we decided not to swap/buy. My jazz wasn’t for him and I have come to realise that my Dingwall Combustion 5-3 can do everything and I don’t really need any more basses. So really I want to move it on. Ideally I’d like to meet up so the buyer can try it and I may be able to deliver within the M25 by arrangement, I’d really prefer not to courier as it’s such a faff but an open to conversation…
  6. I think I read that Supergrass recorded through an old Carlsbro combo so I can well believe what you say.
  7. Should have made clear - I was just at low practise levels, low volume - using a preamp with compression - he trusts me with his kit, I’ve been helping I’m out for decades - I bought him a second rig, a light one that’s easier for him to lug around.
  8. I just checked my savings. I don’t have enough. Sad face.
  9. He does and he has a bit of a whinge but I had the amp repaired when it went wrong so I’ve earned the right to use it as I wish!
  10. Just sharing this from this guy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richard.quittenton
  11. I'm talking to a bc'er who has a couple of 5 strings he may be up to trade and we're planning on meeting up in a couple of weeks to try each other's basses out and see if we want to do a trade. Am putting on hold till then. Cheers to everyone who has been in touch and if this doesn't work out will be back in contact. Thx!
  12. I never know what to play for this kind of thing (I hate going into music shops) so here's a few sounds of the bass. Starts with both p'ups on full. Jazz Demo.mov
  13. Just picked it up to weight it... damn. The neck is really lovely. I love a satin finish. May record a quick bit of it so you can hear. See if I have a moment later.
  14. Let me see if anyone wants the whole package first. I'd really rather get rid of the whole bass in one go and swap for a five string.
  15. I love Jazz basses and have been putting this together for ages. Bits from here, there. Squier body, Fender roast maple neck, badass bridge, Fender '74 pickups, Hipshot ultralite tuners but I'm just not playing anything more ther than my Dingwall 5 string. I'm in London - up for any kind of test. Would rather not post but do have a hiscox case could include for extra. I'm not really looking to trade any more but do try me. Currently strung with Olympus flats (cheap ones) but I have a set of Elites in the case I can put on so that's £40 worth of strings for a start. Update - 4.1kg so nice and light. Sorry - no idea what the body is made from.
  16. Class d amps and neodymium drivers have changed my life!!!
  17. They went into pro-PA installations by the start of the 90s didn't they? OHM?
  18. It's not dignified what with my MarkBass CM121 on a trolley and the bass in a gig bag but I've gotten across London on the tube with it.
  19. I play through compact 1x12" cabs which are a miracle of portability (I can get my whole rig to a venue on the bus!!!) but man, it's lovely to plug into a big cabinet with a 1x15 driver in it...
  20. Probably very similar except for the preamp.
  21. It’s really just a small PA head in a combo. I’ve never liked the sound with keyboard as it’s really brittle and sharp but with this bass it’s epic!!!
  22. This is my dad’s OHM KA140 keyboard amp from the mid 80’s that he’s had since new. It’s got a nasty piezo tweeter and is quite shrill but makes for a fantastic bass amp! Really snappy and deep, very very modern and hifi. Honestly it’s one of the nicest tones I’ve achieved in years!
