  1. I gained this bass in part exchange recently. Several things have been confirmed for me. The quality and value of Sire basses, my lack of skills in the fretless department, my preference for a 32" scale and that 3 Jazz basses is probably 2 too many.

     

    The fretboard is lacquered and unmarked.

     

    The bass is virtually flawless. It still has the pickup guard protective film in place. No knocks or dings except for a tiny one on the rear of the neck as shown in the photo. Strung with D'Addario Chromes and the active/passive 3 EQ 18v pre works perfectly.

     

    Can be viewed and tried in Kendal. Will post at cost.

  2. I've always intended to sell a bass when my (stupendous) Zoot 32" Funkmeister P arrived. It was to be my 2008 MiM Jazz but I realise that I have bonded with it to the extent that something else would be offered for sale first. That's not to say that the BBPH isn't superb, it is and it's mint.

     

    The BBPH is a proper limited edition, not just a cosmetic marketing exercise. I believe that 150 were made. It has a reverse P pickup and an effective 3EQ pre-amp voiced with Peter Hook's tone in mind. It has a passive mode by switch and the treble control doubles as a passive tone. Passive really works well on this bass. The body is a 3 piece sandwich and with the efficient neck joint sustain is remarkable.

     

    It is, as hopefully the photos show, mint. Strung with new Newtone nickels. It comes with the original gig bag and all the bits. Weight wise it's certainly not a shocker.

     

    I'm in Kendal, UK. Viewing and trying is welcome. I have a lot of good feedback over many years. I can ship but I don't have a hard case to use for that purpose. I'm travelling down to the Bristol/Chepstow way next Thursday and back on Saturday.

    Yes,but no,but...

     

    Yes, in that if you play C and go up to G it's a 5th, but if you go down to the lower G it's a 4th.

     

    No, because chords and scales are spelled and counted going up from the root. So in C, G is always classed as the 5th no matter which way you go.

    Thank you 😊 

     

    Your last comment is the way I used to understand it. But, as you say the descending interval is a 4th and a 4th sounds slightly different to a fifth. So in terms of the interval being smaller does that alter the overall feel? 
     

    Perhaps a 5th to a 4th isn’t the best example. A major 3rd interval ascending would become a minor 6th interval descending. 

  4. I’ve been working through the early chapters. One assumption that I’ve made for years has been dispelled. 
     

    If I’m playing a fifth up I assumed that fifth down will do too. I suspect that is often the case but I didn’t realise that the intervals from the root are different. This applies to just about all intervals if you choose a different octave. 

     

    I like the book. It’s thorough. I’ve got both her books and I’m learning while enjoying the process.

    and “mad” because it’s a lovely mix of designs.

     

    I had to research the Jag Stang bit :)

    Your syntax is all over the shop. From the pic and general rambling it looks like you want shot of the Broughton for sumthin' simpler that isn't a Thumpinator?

     

    Just blob up the knob on the Broughton with a lump of BluTac. Job done.

    Thank you for your less than pleasant critique.
