    As others have said, service lift at the back - access a bit tricky with a van but you should be able to unload there with ease and then park it across the road in one of the side alleys. Free after 6pm. House amps, they used to have a hefty Orange bass rig in there with so you wouldn’t struggle with level on stage. Wedges at the front around the stage in the back room. Front room more cramped and a bit more challenging sound wise from monitoring pov. It’s not the original venue but I used to play there most weeks and it’s still got some magic about it. Pretty touristy and mixed crowd, a lot of international visitors and always used to have a good feel of a weekend. Have fun.

    I’ve owned a 74 Jazz in the past which sounded great but on the heavy side. Any later I’ve found the quality to be inconsistent and seemingly from the late 70s onwards very much so. I think the AVRIs are really good and especially the ones they made in the early 2010s. I’d also consider a custom shop second hand for your budget. I know this might prove controversial but my experience is that if you want an older feeling instrument they do walk a pretty good line on replicating it.

    Open to reasonable and sensible offers here. Shipping wise, happy to but would really prefer to insure for your peace of mind. I can probably meet for collection within reason. No trades please, some lovely basses out there but looking for straight sale. Cheers!

    Jad Freer Capo

    I’ve also not had a huge amount of joy with the B side. The A side is great, extremely well voiced / versatile but the B side to me is pretty underwhelming as a drive or for tube saturation type tones. The rest of the pedal I could not fault. I’ve had quite a bit of luck using my Origin Black Panel into the Capo and cranking the gain and mids on the Bassman setting. Expensive solution to having a drive on my board but very satisfying as it does the squashy valve thing a lot better than the Capo.

    I’m on the Wirral, collection preferred but can ship. And yes got the original case for it.

    I had one of these, years ago now. Very thin neck profile. Not active, mine was vol pan tone tone. A totally honest appraisal were the pickups felt weak and the tone a little thin, as others have said they don’t sound a thing like the German built ones. I do remember getting it as a 14 year old though thinking it was the greatest thing ever.

    Very low by Stingray standards! I don’t have a set of scales to hand presently but I’d put it at 8lbs something. It’s the lightest bass I’ve owned in years. Part of the appeal of the Specials I guess. Apologies I can’t be more specific, I’ll try and locate some scales and update the listing.

    Thanks - amended the post earlier as I’m not interested in trades any longer, so this would be a straight sale.

    Back up for sale.

    Jad Freer Capo

    risingson replied to EmmettC's topic in Effects

    I agree, and it’ll be the reason I keep my Bass Rig on the board to keep the valve warmth it gives. The B side feels a little underwhelming in any scenario, which is a shame because everything else about the pedal is a remarkable achievement and so cleverly designed.

    Jad Freer Capo

    risingson replied to EmmettC's topic in Effects

    Got mine last week. It fills in the gaps of the Origin Black Panel with some of its features, including the post pre loop which I wish the Origin had. Both sound great but in different ways, the Black Panel is tube-like and has a pillowy compression to it which is undeniably great for vintage tones, and the Capo is more direct, faster transients and the added gain stage on the B side is really useful. The ability to sculpt the mid frequencies is something the Black Panel lacks somewhat with it being more a Fender tone stack, again just very different tonally. It’s probably a bit mad to have both but I’d struggle to choose between them. Everything runs into the Capo on the board apart from the Cali which is last and goes into the post effects loop. I played a Noble a few weeks back, great piece of kit but really there wouldn’t be much I couldn’t get out of this combo now and not widely dissimilar tones.

    Ha funny, I take mine into a Radial JDI. The Jensen transformer pairing, as you say similarly, sounds incredible. I played a gig through a Noble the other night (not mine sadly) and much preferred the 64 paired with my DI, although I’d be interested to have spent more time in comparing. Just wish Origin had figured the cab sim thing at R&D.
  14. risingson
    The ‘64 Black Panel is amazing, I really do love the tone but I do wish the cab sim was defeatable. As it stands I only use it as a preamp and take the 1/4” into another DI, which sort of defeats the point of using it as a standalone unit. There is the smallest amount of noise when I use the pedal this way, not enough to be an issue live but when recording it would either need gating or dealing with the noise which isn’t ideal for an engineer. I’ve just bought the Jad Freer Capo. I don’t expect it will replace my Black Panel entirely as I really love the sound, and it does that tube-like compression so well. But the Capo would seem to do more things and with a lot more functionality. Maybe not best or fair to compare them in this sense as they’re not apples and apples but the Capo I think will get me more places.

    That’s great info thanks! I love the Origin, it does an incredible job of emulating tube saturation and that compression and lag that I love but it’s missing the sheer functionality of the Capo which has made me want to bite the bullet. Love the idea of the additional drive capability as well, Will be an interesting comparison!

    Have been following this thread with interest as I’ve just bought one. A quick question from owners, am I right in saying the effects loop on the left of the unit is for additional pedals to go after the preamp and then out with the preamp DI? If so this is going to solve the major problem I have with my Origin Effects 64 Black Panel - I like to put my Cali76 after my preamp, which then defeats its use as a usable DI signal to the desk.

    This is something of a reluctant sale. Absolutely astounding bass, lightweight and an incredible roasted neck. 2018 model. In great condition. For those who don’t know (although would suspect most will) these new Specials have had the weight stripped out of them and refinements to the preamp which I find incredibly musical. It’s one of the best ‘mass produced’ instruments, stainless steel frets which are sublime. Everything on the instrument feels premium and so we’ll put together. Price is firm, these things are nearly 3k new now. Postage at buyer’s cost, might also meet it in north west. Any questions on the instrument feel free to ask.

    Yamaha BBP35. This is a reluctant sale as it’s a truly fantastic instrument and astonishingly well constructed. Would argue one of the best I’ve seen fit and finish from a production bass. Made in Japan, the top line of the current Yamaha BB range. Low B is superb, pickups incredibly well voiced, especially the P which I often keep soloed. It’s fitted in with virtually any gig I’ve taken it to. Resonant unplugged, bags of sustain, 6-bolt neck making it all very stable in its construction. The string though body also a nice addition. Why am I selling? Largely playing 4s and interested in getting something short-scale - I’ll be very sad to see this one go. Only trade I’d be interested in here might be a JMJ Mustang, other than that I’m just after a straight sale. Any questions on the bass do let me know! Quick vid of me playing it in the link below - would recommend headphones! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmsEnrdBm6b/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjOcvQ8MARb/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Liam

    I think McCartney is amazing. In hindsight with the way bass playing has evolved in the past 50 years or whatever it might be, it could be easy to see his playing as comparatively rudimentary and especially in isolation. But he evolved so much as a bass player throughout the history of the band and clearly he was applying the lessons of Jamerson and Brian Wilson’s arrangement skills as best he could and in his own way. Sgt Peppers has some absolute standout bass tracks - Getting Better, Lovely Rita, Fixing a Hole. White Album the same, Dear Prudence is inspired. Rick clearly expressing an opinion here but I think McCartney totally deserving in a top spot of historic bass players

    mods please delete - post not relevant here apologies.

    Hi Phil! Definitely not a V, more C. It’s very comfortable and easy to navigate. I had a late 70s P bass which was baseball bat territory but this feels much more ‘refined’ and updated while still keeping a bit of that thicker neck feel.
  25. risingson
    Thanks for this Goffman, confirming what I thought. The 63s are equally wonderful instruments too.
