    There's always one smartarse!

    I've just been having a good long chat with Guy at future publishing. No need for any more speculation, all plans for 2019 will be announced in formal press releases to basschat and the wider public hopefully later today. From what I've heard, with an eye both inside and outside the business,, if they can get this right it will be a great development for both manufacturers and us consumers... Fingers crossed!

    ....and if you're hankering for a Limelight (nothing negative to read here, I know someone who has three, they all play bloody beautifully!) or similar, thinking you need that kinda vibe in your life, then buy this instead. If you then really want it to look scratched and dirty as well as old, then a. shame on you, this IS already properly old, and b. pop down to Homebase for some paint remover, sandpaper and grime paint. Oh, and remove/replace the bridge and neck screws half a dozen times with the wrong sized screwdriver... that always helps! 🤣🤣🤣

    I can only echo @LukeFRC's comment! Nothing can beat the quality and character of these amazing basses. Forget it says Squier on it, because it really isn't one! This is a Fender Japanese Vintage bass, well up there with the very best vintage and custom shop Fenders. I have one, and you'll NEVER get me to part with it... Try, and you'll buy.

    Just spotted this... You sir, are a bit of a chump, you should have called me, as I live 8 miles from Taunton....! Do what I did with mine... do the fretless challenge... Turn it into something playable! I bought my Affinity for £50 (for one of my kids, who started out on bass with it) as it had been dropped in the shop by a prospective customer, so I made them an offer. The neck work I did on it has made a "meh" neck into a REALLY playable fretless, with incredibly low action, but it has also taken a Babicz bridge, better pickups and an East J-retro to really make it sing. Not sure it can ever be valued beyond the sum of its parts, but an interesting exercise! Oh, and have a bump on me!

    Beautiful looking bass which won't stop calling me, but sadly my back ain't going to like it... 😫
  8. MoJoKe
    Gorgeous! The inevitable question, is it lighter than my Lakland? (that is the subtlest way I can think of asking its weight, without actually saying it and setting off the "QI klaxon"... please don't judge me, I have an old back to consider!!)

    Markbass don't tend to publish much technical detail on their amps as they are protective of their Mark Proprietary Technology branding. Their call - I get that... However, they DO have an inbuilt subsonic low pass filter. It isn't and IMHO doesn't need to be switchable (and that goes for any bass amp thats designed well... it shouldn't need to be). I am happy to do some EQ curves after the weekend on a couple of different heads if people are interested.

    London Guitar Show

    MoJoKe replied to TheGreek's topic in Events

    We'll be there with DV Mark and Markbass. It'll be interesting to see how it compares with the bass show...!
  11. MoJoKe
    They are busy with planning for the London Guitar show (September 29/30th) at the moment. I'm sure it'll be announced soon!
  12. MoJoKe
    I'm absolutely staggered this is still here! Not only highly collectible, but probably the best Precision you'll ever lay your hands on...
  13. MoJoKe
    Snap! Just bought one on Amazon... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-000-CH400-00010-Powerplay-Personal-Amplifier/dp/B0784TMYPN
  14. MoJoKe
    Which ACS do you have? ...and now you had time to test, how do they compare with ZS10s?
  15. MoJoKe
    When I eventually get around to not putting mine up for sale, I'll certainly put the white guard back on!! 🤣 I agree, best sold all original! Good luck Paul!
  16. MoJoKe
    I have an identical one, with big "Fender", and while I still have the original white plate (and the original inspection tag!), mine sports an anodised guard... Definitely looks great, but I also like the white... I second that guarantee! I bought mine new in '82, and used it exclusively for most of the 80s (until I could afford a Wal!) then it spent a good few years under the bed having migrated to 5 strings, but I recently did a 60s theatre tour and used it as my main bass. It was like playing an old friend, these are without doubt (IMHO!) the best and lightest precisions I have ever played. Pretty much anyone else who plays it immediately makes me an offer or tries to make off with it! Mine will have to be torn from my cold dead fingers... You will NOT be disappointed. GLWTS!

    Any headohnes With audiophiles, opinion is split on whether speakers/headphones benefit from running or 'burning in". This article discusses it:- https://www.techradar.com/news/audio/what-is-speaker-burn-in-1301179 I've always sat on the fence on this one, but given the KZ's price, its not an unreasonable thing to try if it can improve them... I don't know what others have found, but I personally feel they have definitely benefitted and sounded warmer and less brittle when I had done this. I suppose if you don't burn them in, they'll still get to this point on their own, but the difference will be less noticeable between "brand new" and after a couple of weeks old, "nicely run in"! I've now been able to use these lots for mixing in the studio, in rehearsal and also as live IEMs, and I have to say I am well impressed!
  18. MoJoKe
    do try playing around with taping the ports, makes a huge difference to the bass... I gave mine a good 3-4 hour burn ing before I was happy, but as you say, for the money! I actually used them for a gig the other day... pretty damned good!

    The new Markbass Marcus Miller cabs are kickback too... I was playing with the MM STD102 on Saturday. I've personally never been a big fan of 2 x 10s, but it's got way more bottom end than either the old STD or TRV 2 x 10s I think the NY122 is a vastly under-used cab too... being 4ohm, its a really compact punchy single cab solution...

    WHAT was "In excellent condition. Comes with the plastic case, windshield and a 16gb sd-card?" Please stop deleting the post title! The forum requests that you simply add the word SOLD in the title, not delete it. Not a rule, just good form.... Thank you.
  21. MoJoKe
    Mine are really growing on me too... Undoubtedly great value and I'd highly recommend!

    I really like sires, the preamp is fabulous... A couple of people here have put lighter tuners on, and it makes them balance much better. I found myself looking online at a V9 5 string fretless this morning.... Hmmm very nice, and I'm sure it'll play well like all Sires, but at £780ish a bit pricey?

    So..... tarantarantaraaaa! big reveal time... I fully agree with all comments here, there is no "one way" or "best way" to mic drums... big books are written on this subject, and certainly many hours of debate amongst those who have an educated opinion...! as said, often the simpler the better. It happens the band I mainly work with configure with mics on everything, and multiples (top, rattle, in, out, etc) where the venue acoustics will allow it to make a difference without over complicating life. The venue I did on Saturday night was a massive and lofty old lime plastered stone barn with at least 1.5 sec reverb, so minimal mic-ing is the only way to go (though as they use in-ears and no backline, I always close mic everything, so they can get a better in-ear mix, but the FOH mix never sees them!) No. 2. I was always told that you go outward from the kick (kick, snare, hats) and then around the outside from the snare side... This then places Kick and Snare next to each other on the desk for easier, more logical, mixing. Once set, I always put the whole kit in a DCA group anyway, so I rarely fiddle with individual levels unless I have to. Thank you for your input! @Dad3353 remind me I'll need to write you a cheque or send you a postal order for 25p... which would you prefer? haha!
  24. MoJoKe
    Well that works!!
