Bodies...... Top three, no idea, generic swamp ash although nice (top left is heavy). Prices Body 1 (£200) Body 2 (£100) SOLD Body 3 (£300). Bottom three Warmoth (£225), Mighty Mite (£100), 70's Daion (£250). If I were to make a recommendation Body number 4 with neck number 1 (lovely lightweight dark wood Precision Body number 5 with neck number two (stealth fretless Precision) Body number 6 with neck number 3 (monster Entwistle-sque Precision) Body number 3 with neck number 5 (fretted Mighty Mite jazz width although logog says Precision) or with neck on it, no name Maple fretless. I'll photo the above combinations ASAP, apologies this is a bit chaotic but two quite expensive things I've been after for a while, one bass-related and one not (🤔) have come up out of the blue 👍

So, what I'm going to produce later today is the Beedster Analogue Configurator. While the title suggests a retro pedal, it will in fact be a collection of photographs of various combinations of necks, bodies, pickguards etc. Those with low impulse control/easily parted with their cash, should avoid this thread for around 7-days 👍

FS: Ampeg PF-50t all-tube head - *SOLD*

Second..... nitro finished swamp ash Jazz body with FL Precision neck (brand unknown, was sold to me as Allparts many moons ago, then went to another BCer - @oldslapper IIRC - before finding its way back to me, a not uncommon take), PUPs are SD SJB1s, again I've kept them together because they work together, but happy to split: Bass £450, loaded body £325, neck £175 NECK SOLD
-
EDIT: I've deleted all the early photos of items that have sold, please check from page 4 onwards for what's left 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As per the bitsa thread, too many unfinished basses, not enough time, so here goes (I'll be adding stuff over the next day or two, if you want more photos of anything please ask). I'm pretty much emptying this box....... First up, Warmoth roasted swamp ash body with lightly oiled finish, plus very high spec Warmoth Precision neck (you can see the stunning flame in the abve photo, third bass from the left). I've kept them together because they work and fit extremely well plus both are very lightweight to the point that I would strongly suggest a set of lightweight tuners on this bass when built. All that's required are PUP and circuit. This will build into a stunning instrument. £500 for the neck and body or neck £325 and body £225

This bitsa is 100% staying however.......
-
So, I made a terrible mistake on Sunday, I started tinkering, "Mmm, wonder what that neck would sound like on that body with those PUPs and that bridge.....?'. Long story short, of the nine bitsas I have (had), three are staying, all rather interesting fretless mongrels, and the rest are going, albeit as projects/parts, as the time required to get each of them up to the standard that I could describe them hand on heart as ready to go quality instruments is a luxury I don't have at present. So, if you fancy doing you're own Fender-alike bitsa, or upgrading a bass with a Warmoth, Mighty Mite, Shuker, or Fender neck or body, as well as a load of bridges, PUPs, and tuners, keep an eye of the Accessories For Sale forum. I'll tease y'all with this pic again......

Accidental NBD... G&L Tribute SB-2 - the return

Not buying anything because there was nothing worth buying does not qualify as an unambiguous demonstration of the power of the spirit over the lures of materialism my friend -

Not sure just how accidental that was given you were in a music shop and did have your credit cards with you? Bit f*** me that's a bloody nice bass @neepheid 👍 -

Needs no introduction, lovely lovely lovel all tube head, it's had little use other than around 6-weeks of rehearsals and one gig during which it got me out of a few tight corners following a back injury earlier this year, when paired with the glorious and equally easy to carry Mesa 1x12 in the photo (now sold). I have all original packaging etc. No trades thanks as I've found a Mesa unit that I'm replacing this with. Current RRP a rather sobering £1075 here https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/product.php?product_id=GPF50TUK&source=froogle&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD8vqVrGdZdu_2PWdO4efJ-EmqAg2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5L6jhbL7jAMVQZxQBh2-IgcrEAQYByABEgLB6fD_BwE Courier/collection/meet-up are all options 👍

Struggling with sound engineering guitarist
Beedster replied to mrtcat's topic in General Discussion
Yep, this is not an audio issue it's a political one, far more tricky, and as I said earlier, I think it's one you just have to live with, not least because as I've found too many times, the mix/engineering I often hate at a gig other people love and vice versa. Good luck either way mate, but if you have in-ears and the sound isn't your responsibility, I'd just set up a decent mix for yourself and leave it there, or you risk winning the battle but losing the war 👍 -
Struggling with sound engineering guitarist
Beedster replied to mrtcat's topic in General Discussion
Not at all, as a band we're all happy. I think the point you're possibly overlooking is that nothing in this is about an identifiable and quantifiable 'best/ideal/optimal sound', it's about how expectations differ among people, and how those expectations affect perception and emotion. It sounds like the rest of your band might have agreed with you in principle, but don't share your expectations that it shouldn't happen, so they aren't worried when it does happen again. Re my bunch, we don't have any problem with our guitarist simply because we don't expect him to turn down, it's him (and there are plenty of singers, key's players, drummers, and bassists who are just the same who nonetheless get on with their bands without friction), and apart from a few of the type of musos who like to scratch their chins at a gig and then come straight up to you at the break and offer some well intentioned feedback, neither does anyone else. So there's no tearing out of hair needed. Is it ideal? No. Is it good enough? Yes.
