  1. Martin E started following NGD — but the gigbag is a bit whiffy , Never use my G string , Mismatched top, would this bother you? Cort space 4 and 4 others

    Blimey, had a rehearsal this morning, lots of swing jazz, probably used every note on every string up to 10th fret or so. Plenty of notes available even on a four string, a shame not to use them.

    Peach Guitars have a few in stock with a picture and weight of the actual bass you are buying. The matching does vary quite a bit, maybe at that price point Cort think that's appropriate? Personally I'd send it back as well. I bought a sunburst Player Jazz from them and was able to select one with no visible joins in the body which also happened to be the lightest. It also came with an excellent set up. Worth a look.

    My first bass amp was an Ohm 'Pukka' bass combo. 60 watts, 15" speaker, 5 band EQ with compressor if I recall. Really weli made and good looking bit of kit, it sounded great and I have fond memories.
  5. Martin E
    Yes, by far the best one. Didn't know much about Nate Mendel but an articulate and interesting chap.

    I appreciate bassists are deconstructing their basslines and Peter Hook may have made his own unique contribution to the music scene but honestly there’s not an awful lot to deconstruct is there. And I don’t know what I was supposed to glean from last night’s effort. I was hoping perhaps I could recommend this series to my non bass playing chums to show them what it’s all about. The odd glimpse of Jamerson and King helped a bit but otherwise no. Tonight’s episode may be a bit better.

    People who rap all seem to call themselves artists. Great self belief always helps I suppose...

    I've been using a D400 with a BF one 10 (no tweeter) for some years. Very pleased with the amp and speaker, it does sound a bit old school I suppose but I like that. I play in a quite jazz group so it's great for swing and Latin, still amazed you can get so much authoritive bass out of such a small cabinet. All this is probably not much help to you but I can say boxy it definitely is not.

    Still up for sale. I have had a few enquiries but just to reiterate I don't have a hard case or packaging so collection only. Thanks for looking.

    I acquired a gig bag that absolutely reeked of smoke. I opened it up and left it in the garden for the day in the sunlight. Wrong time of the year unfortunately but it works and all the smell went completely.

    After a couple of near misses with smaller stands I bought a Fender deluxe hanging stand. Only 25 quid but has larger footprint than many and hence is very stable.

    Can I suggest a row of music stands as the first line of defence, if that is breached a prod in the eye from a headstock mounted tuner usually works.

    Hi Chienmortbb I've tended to go for coloured cables just to help identify stuff in dim light on stage hence my observation. And just to brighten things up a bit to be honest! Quite appreciate if you're making these things in bulk you can't keep a load of colours but maybe just one bright colour, red, yellow, green or whatever as an option in future ?
  14. Martin E
    Can I add that I find a coloured cable, well anything other than black, is useful just to identify it on the floor from all the other stuff.

    Hi flippyfloop Yes indeed, access through the soundhole. You can just about see it in the close up of the bridge above. This is one little bass that played absolutely fine when I first got it so I've never had to adjust it TBH. Martin

    Ibanez SRH 500 semi hollow bass in Dragon Eye burst flat finish. £285 This is the fretted model, (Ibanez now only make the fretless version). Standard 34 inch scale, 38mm nut, piezo bridge pickup with tone and volume and is very light around the 7lb mark. It's perfect for those woody upright tones. Currently strung with TI flats and comes with a nice Maruszczk standard gig bag. In very good shape just a few little marks on the body which I have photographed and there is a slightly worn patch where I've been resting my thumb on the end of the fingerboard. Truss rod and electrics all function as they should. I bought this at this bargain price from a very nice chap on here around 4 years ago and in the spirit of Basschat I'm passing it on at the same price. It's been ideal for playing jazz and latin. Only moving on as I'm mainly using my jazz bass again these days. Collection only please from Horsham, West Sussex where you can try out obviously. (I have no hard case or packing and cannot post). And no trades thanks as I'm trying to slim down my collection a bit.
