    I bought a Status-necked Stingray from David in the easiest of transactions. Super smooth, great comms, overall top bloke. Seal of approval from me!

    Oh sweet baby jesus, I have the 5 string version. This is stunning.

    I’d say both—always wanted a B2, and a bass with a piezo too (though I do have a Yamaha TRB5P).
  4. biro
    You are right, misread! (Though I wonder if the piezo saddles are still there.)
  5. biro
    Is the piezo still working? Extremely interested!
  6. biro
    Certainly no harm in getting them involved!

    I had an embarrassing number of soundgears and I still have a few. I had intonation issues on one only—an SR1205, since sold, which remains one of the best playing basses I’ve ever owned. The intonation issue was only on the A and E strings but, here’s the kicker, the intonation was spot on with the suggestion strings (105 gauge). So, d’addario EXL165 yes, EXL170 no. I don’t really play flats, but I also have to say that in my experience flats can be a bit weird and inconsistent intonation-wise.

    It's an exceptional instrument! I had one which I loved dearly—should you ever sell it...

    I had a couple of EMG40DC lying around so I decided to drop them into the SR1306. It works well, but I promptly forgot that they use a barrel jack, and was in a hurry, so here you go. If it ain't broke...

    Having replaced a BBOT with a hi mass bridge in the past, I agree that the differences are truly minimal, if there are any differences at all. I am convinced, however, that a bridge can make a significant difference in some cases—think Warwick / Spector brass stuff and so on. But we are talking of a significantly higher mass to begin with, not to mention an entirely different design. In any event, the Fender Hi Mass is a fantastic bridge—in fact, had it been metric, it would have been perfect.

    I may be biased as I have too many anyways, but I am a big fan of the SR in general, and I really do consider them to be the new standard for everything. The SR300E or SR300EB basses I have tried (the new generations, with the powerspan pick ups) all sounded excellent and punched way beyond their weight. If you're unsure, Joshua Young plays an SR300. Does not seem to hinder him....

    These are fantastic basses. I have the non-signature version and it sounds incredible. Have a bump on me!

    I'll bite too. Here's the collection. In (what I hope will be the) order: SR30th5PII (Indonesia, 2017) SR5005-SOL (MIJ, 2009) SR1306PM (MIJ 1993-1994) and SR3006 (MIJ 2003) SR800 (1993-1994) SR1306 (the same as above)

    Hi all, Selling this, which I bought here. Fantastic pedal, and personally, I think it's an improvement over the original Microtubes concept as the crossover works very well on bass. However, as it turns out, I prefer doing things "in the box" using my laptop. Moreover, my partner keeps finding pedals under my desk, and at some point will realise it's not always the same three... Comes with original box and booklet. Blurb below. The Microtubes X series brings the studio method producers have been using the years to cover the whole bass distortion spectrum: from articulate high gain to punchy mild overdrive, raw and gnarly fuzz and everything in between. You now have absolute control in constructing your vision of what the perfect bass distortion texture, definition, and size should have. High-pass frequency: Controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100Hz (for thicker, fuzzier saturation) or 1kHz for ultra-sharp definition. Low-pass frequency: Controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side. Ranging from 50Hz (for only sub-bass) and 500Hz to preserve some clean mids. Level: Sets the overall output volume of the unit. Drive: Sets the amount of distortion for the high pass side. Mix: Sets the blend between low-pass and high-pass signals. Mids: Active mid control placed after the Mix control. +-12dB @ 500Hz.

    Going very much against the grain here, but I find the classic EMJ J set to sound fantastic on a fretless Jazz Bass. Highly recommended!

    Bought a Darkglass pedal from Mike. Easy comms, incredibly quick shipping—solid bloke, comes highly recommended!

    Apologies all, I came to my senses. It's a keeper.

    Hi All, I am considering selling this wonderful specimen. It is probably the best sounding traditional Jazz Bass I've played and I would keep it, but I have a Japanese one with EMGs that I cannot part with and suits me better anyways. So I am putting it up for sale. Comes with case and tools. Bought from Lozz196 of this parish, who is a top notch bloke. The bass looks immaculate to me. Here's the lay of the land: Priced to sell, and the price, which is very firm, does not include shipping. Absolutely no trades You are welcome to try it in North London, but I am not around a lot until the 9th of May.

    These aren’t just handmade, they are made by Sugi. It really doesn’t get better than that. Have a bump on me!
  22. biro
    I had the very same model. One of the best sounding instruments I have come across. Strongly recommended!

    Hi All, So, I am relisting this semi-hollow beauty, which is in tip-top shape (including a fret leveling done at the Gallery). It is a fantastic instrument, but having two MIJ Prestige ones I find myself privileging those over this one—not because of the series, but largely because Nordies aren't really for me. It is, overall, a stunning specimen, and it comes with its lightweight case. Happy to send additional pictures if there's a need for that. Specs pasted below. The bass you see in the video is the one that is actually for sale. Excuse the wrong notes! The bass is in London. Shipping of course possible. Happy to use Reverb, so long as you pay the fees.

    Spectacular. I have four SRs already, otherwise I would be seriously interested!

    If I didn’t have a 1993 800, I’d be all over this. These are incredible basses.
