Rig Rundown: Tool's Justin Chancellor
uncle psychosis replied to Eldon Tyrell's topic in General Discussion
Somehow I didnt know that either. I also realised I had no idea what either he or Adam Jones looked like---I like Tool, but I know very little about them for some reason! Carina Round, who is the singer in Maynard's Puscifer side-project, is also English so I wonder if thats just a coincidence or if there's some kind of connection. I very much enjoyed the watch, good video. I did laugh when his tech admitted they change strings during soundcheck and then again halfway through a show. Thats pretty remarkable. I also like the fact that despite having quite a complex rig, there's no MIDI switching bollocks, and I definitely love the fact he's not using any "boutique" unobtainium pedals. Will probably have some Tool on my headphones on my commute tomorrow, although I find the albums a bit bloated. They have some absolutely glorious moments but I think they need a better editor at times. -
***SOLD*** Hi guys, I bought this on a total whim last week. Its a gorgeous thing, nice Japanese build quality, 32" scale. However after playing it over the last week I've come to realise I prefer my full scale / full size basses so I'm going to move it on again. Yes, I'm a shameless bass tart. It really is quite small --- the body is pretty much the same as a Les Paul Junior (guitar) and from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the body its not much different in size to my acoustic guitar. "the internet" doesn't know very much about these---there's a thread on here from a few years ago where someone went "does anyone know anything about these?" and the answer was "no, but they look cool". Pretty sure they were Japanese domestic market only which would explain that. Complete gallery of pictures here (being slightly cheeky and re-using some of the ones from the dealer). https://imgur.com/a/ojHLARs The bass is 24 years old but is in good condition. Given the age there are a couple of dents in the finish, I think the worst one is the one on the lower horn, which I have tried to photograph. Yours for £250 collected. I can also post it, I have the packing material that it came to me in --- can probably only post on a Friday though (its my WFH day so I can be in for a courier). TRADES wise --- I'm not desperate for trades but something semi-hollow, or a nice J flavoured thing might appeal. Can potentially add cash for the right thing. QUICK SPECS BODY: Basswood. NECK: Maple 3 Piece FRETBOARD: Rosewood with Dot Inlays NUT: Bone Approx 40mm FRETS: 22 Medium SCALE: Medium 32'' PICKUPS: TV4 Humbuckers x 2 CONTROLS: 2 X Volume, 1 x Master Tone HARDWARE: Chrome BRIDGE: Std 4 saddle TUNERS: Gotoh Sealed WEIGHT: Approx 4.1 Kilos COLOUR: Deep Red FACTORY: Fugijen Japan DATE: July 2000

I remember playing a 4003 in a shop twenty years ago and lamenting the fact that as a student I couldn't afford the £1300 or whatever it was. If only I'd known 😭 TBF, that was the last time I played one. I'm a lot better at bass now, I'd like to see what the 2024 me thinks of them.

I've never been that "into" Spector basses but I'd make an exception for that white one owned by @Paulhauser. Oofft, beautiful.

This thread has been far too inactive. Can anyone remind me of what the "normal" thinking is re:strings for a 32"? I can't remember if I can buy standard long scale ones or if short scales fit or if it's even more niche than that...

NBD - I know some BC members won't like it - but I do

Nice! I've wanted a DC Danelectro bass for about as long as I can remember (thank you Fat Mike). They never seem to come up second hand 😞- 168 replies

Hello, Picked this up on here recently but after a bit of experimentation I'm moving it on again. £75 posted ***SOLD*** Its a variable High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, and Boost/DI. Built by one of basschat's finest (not me!) Its currently set so that the footswitch engages the LPF. (You can modify this setting internally, you'll need to read the Schalltechnik_04 documents to work out how!) Lots of pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/oNrkLrP Here's a link to all the info: https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung Previous sale ad here :

Another Neotech Mega strap user here. Had several for years and never had any problems with them.

Picked this up recently because I've been wanting to try out the latest generation of Boss modelling. Verdict: very good indeed, but I'm still not a multiFX guy. Comes with power supply and also with the Bluetooth module for audio playback/app control (sold separately by Boss). Boxed and in good condition. Some slight residue/marking on the bottom from having velcro installed previously. Complete gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/iZ5dN8y Yours for £340 delivered in the UK. ***ON HOLD*** Would consider trades. I particularly fancy a shortscale bass like a Mustang or Danelectro.

Ha. If anyone wanted to be really, really, really, unhelpful they'd tell me which Mustang models have J necks too... -

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
uncle psychosis replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Mustang fans, how close do they get to P sounds? For *reasons* I'd quite like something to cover that ballpark but without it being a long scale P. -
As a Christmas treat to myself I learned the bass part to Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by the Jackson 5. Killer line, and a lot of fun. Merry Christmas!

Hi folks I have decided to part ways with my P bass - I have begrudgingly accepted my role as a Jazz man This is a Fender Player series Precision bass in tidepool blue. Bought new by me in 2020 (I think) and well looked after. I changed the wiring loom to a Ki0gon one but other than that the guitar remains as stock. Tidepool is quite difficult to photograph, its got a slight metallic nature so it changes a bit with the light. Hopefully I've captured it quite well but please ask for more pics. I can potentially post this at cost but would vastly prefer local pickup. COMPLETE GALLERY HERE: https://imgur.com/a/w8EfLte £500 collected ***SOLD*** I'm not really after trades at all but a Boss GT-1000 or GT-1000-Core in part-ex would definitely tempt.

Have acquired far too many pedals recently so got to make some room. Trades wise - I fancy some Way Huge pedals - particularly a Red Llama / Camel Toe / Supa Puss. But others interest me too. Prices include postage. Way Huge Supa Puss delay. Boxed. £155 Phenomenal delay pedal, but I don't use delay enough to justify having this lying around. Pics: https://imgur.com/a/NUzYuqo ---- Way Huge Aqua Puss (smalls) Delay. Boxed. £85 Great delay, excels at slapback Pics: https://imgur.com/a/CeX0M2Z --- Hungry Robot Moby Dlck V2 Delay.

40th Anniversary Precision £259 at Thomann!
uncle psychosis replied to Frank n funker's topic in Bass Guitars
Still really enjoying my SFG Jazz, but a bit of tinkering has definitely revealed where Squier cut the corners. I've replaced the pickups and the wiring loom with some Dimarzios / Ki0gon gear and it was a really frustrating experience tbh. The holes for the control plate (and for the pickups themselves) seem to be positioned right on the edge of tolerance so I had a hell of a time getting everything lined up. And whilst I was in there I realised that the pickup cavities (particularly for the neck pickup) were a bit of a mess. I also suspect the pickup cavities are cut slightly too deep because I am probably going to need more foam to get the bridge pickup adjusted right. Now, I'm not really complaining---the basic bass cost £259 for goodness sake---but its almost reassuring to see the difference between this and my more expensive basses. Next up will be to replace the strings but I'm not quite sure what for yet. -
@silverfoxnikbought some pedals from me, friendly messages and no hassles. Many Thanks!
