Correct. Also, your 'tech' hasn't done a very good solder job. I'd get all of that re-done.

Xotic RC Bass Booster V1. Not boxed but great condition, just one or two small paint nicks. Hook side velcro underneath. Beautiful clean boost and mild OD / break up. Great EQ with no loss of bottom end, whether driving a tube head or dirtying up a solid state front end. May regret letting this one go! No trades thanks. UK only

Centrre Neg. I got one of these - works great: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312072256549

Looking forward to hearing about it!

Saw Gary play many times, always great. Stand out gig was on the Scars tour when he had Cass Lewis on bass and Darrin Mooney on drums - phenomenal 3 piece sound.

What a great band they were

Ben bought my Tone City Plexi pedal. Paid quickly and stayed in touch to let me know it got there. Heeps of fun apparently!
-
Great Marshall Plexi style Distortion / OD. This is the updated version with the much improved gain control. A seriously good pedal which im selling as part of a fund raise. As new condition and boxed. £32 posted. No offers or trades please. Watch this great demo! (sounds start at about 2 mins): https://youtu.be/TC2oMzMiVMQ?si=tgm26OWQF5SptlL8

Always try cutting some bass frequencies if you are being asked to turn down by FOH. Chances are that your usual (rehearsal room) settings are too bass heavy for that room/stage and you will run the risk of being asked to turn down to the point that you haven't got enough on-stage amp volume to monitor with - bass down and then vol can go up. The tone on stage shouldn't be too much of an issue as you should be sending a good, clean, pre-EQ signal to FOH anyway - and you can always get the FOH mix in the stage monitors.

Fender Custom Shop Jazz in relic blue sparkle. I like the stack knobs mainly with Neck PU vol full on, tone backed off about 10% and bridge vol slightly rolled back, tone up - gives a nice bark. This is a very full sounding Jazz bass.
-
SWR Grand Prix is one of the best sounding clean pre's I've used. The semi-para EQ is a joy!
-
Same with SVT's

One of my Precisions has EMG Geezers in it and is currently strung with 760FL's. Sounds great for rock, soul, R&B. I've also tried 9050L on it, which were also good - more high mid focused and tension not bad, a bit more stiff. Tried 77s on it and didn't like them at all on that particular bass. LOTS of tension and not too much fundamental output. The GZR pickups are killer. Not OTT output and a great vintage vibe. Well suited to flats

EBS Multicomp in dual band mode for just a touch of compression at all times
-
Maybe try looking out for a s/h Dave Hall DHA EQ/DI - best I've used.
-
Not long since put a new set of 760FL's on one of my Precisions - all seems as should be and how they have always been
-
For anyone impatiently waiting for the new Vintera II basses...
NAS Bass replied to michele's topic in Bass Guitars
Hopefully as good as the original MIM Classic 50s and 60s series, some of the best Fenders I've ever played - still playing one of the first 50's Precisions -
Bought a set of Fender 9050 flats from Jono. Great price, everything as described and a great guy to deal with.

Any one tried an Ashdown 12 band 600 / MK 500 / JJB 500 ?
NAS Bass replied to boristhespider7's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've used the JJB500. A very clean, powerful amp. No real drive on tap and a really useable 12 band EQ. I had a drive pedal in front of it (maybe a Beta or SFT?) and it was a beast with a 610 and the sound certainly filled a big stage. As has been said, I believe the input gain is set higher than the MK and possibly a different transformer? -
I use an ABM 500 EVO I and an EVO II with a Bergantino NV215 and I can't imagine needing anything louder onstage anywhere - I've used that rig on some pretty big stages too, indoors and out!
-
There's a nice looking ABM EVO II in the For Sale section at the moment and I can thoroughly recommend the EVO II. A nice Spyder 550 for sale too!
