    That said, I've just listened to his cover of 'Close To You', and that's pretty special. Si

    [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1461546112' post='3035593'] This track, Hideaway, from his new album, is just lovely [url="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3zyPEy-Po"]https://m.youtube.co...h?v=4v3zyPEy-Po[/url] [/quote] I've been aware of him for a while, and like a few, blown away by his ability, but just not bothered about the excess of covers. Was a little underwhelmed by the tune he did with Snarky Puppy, but still a cool collab, but just heard that Hideaway track for the first time.......that's more like it!! Genuine interest! Will explore the album Si

    [quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1461927555' post='3038779'] Just checking, are you connecting the correct way round. i.e. in and out the right direction. [/quote] This sounds silly, but I've had a few people do this with pedals I've built for them, certainly worth checking! If plugged in correctly, and all volumes (octaves and direct) are up full, and still no signal. I'd pop it along to a pedal repairer. I recommend Owen Electronics, did a cracking job on my Line6 DL4: http://www.owenelectronics.co.uk Si

    [quote name='Joebethell' timestamp='1461874335' post='3038469'] It's a cracking bass! I no longer have the need for a 5 or I would have considered getting it back. Who ever buys this will be very happy! [/quote] Thanks Joe, yeah it's a fantastic instrument, easily on par with Fodera quality build! Si

    I've got it on Gumtree too, not on eBay. Although there's another very similar build for sale on here, so could be that one Si

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1461846197' post='3038127'] I had no idea that the Mantic even existed. This has opened a whole new seam of GAS for me [/quote] It was a short run of pedals by Mantic, an exact clone of the Meatbox (whereas their Density Hulk is remodelled). The Beefbag was discontinued the day the DOD reissue was announced. Si

    Harmonic Frequency Generator, basically a very synthy fuzz with sweepable frequencies, gated and a 'chaos' control (who doesn't love a chaos control. Excellent condition (velcro on bottom of pedal), boxed with instructions. SOLD Trades welcomed, although not much I'm after at the moment, try me though Cheers Si

    Hi all, I really really like this bass, but in an effort to get down to 3 basses, I'm looking to sell my Fender Japan Medium Scale Jazz (Made In Japan). This is a 32" scale bass, with the rest of the bass also slightly reduced in size, meaning a slightly smaller body etc. These are fairly rare and really wonderful basses. Mine is what you might call a Candy Apple Red, all stock except for Dimarzio Ultra Jazz pickups. The bass is passive, however a previous owner has had a plastic battery compartment routed into the rear of the bass, ready for a preamp should you want to add one. I'll also include two new and unopened sets of Dimarzio Pro Steels medium scale strings (45-100) - EXL170M: [url="http://daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=130&productname=EXL170M_Nickel_Wound_Bass__Light__45_100__Medium_Scale"]http://daddario.com/...0__Medium_Scale[/url] It's currently strung with EXL170M strings (as above). The bass comes with the original white 3 ply scratchplate, but is currently fitted with a see-through acrylic scratchplate. I would say the bass is in 8/10 condition, with only a few small impact marks on the underside of the bass, and incredibly light swirls on the rear of the bass. There are a couple of very small rough patches to the lacqer on the very end of the headstock, can't capture on photo though. I do not have a spare case/bag for this, so I would highly advise collection from Welwyn Garden City, High Wycombe or London. You can listen to the bass at the following link, all three Corybantic tracks were recorded with the bass: Corybantic.bandcamp.com £450 - No Trades Thanks Si

    Yes Malcolm is retired now, but I've had some dealings with Neil recently and the service and strings are still brilliant. Si

    Hi all, Prices include postage: 1 x D'addario EXL170 45-100 Nickel 1 x D'addario EPS170M 45-100 Medium Scale Pro Steels (stated as fine on basses upto 34" scale, I used them for my old 32" Jazz) SOLD [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/4kd5yh.jpg[/IMG] Cheers Si
  14. Sibob
    £2k for a refinished '73.....meh It does look nice, but I wouldn't pay more than £1600 for it. But then we're back to this being a shop, it's going to be more expensive than the private market. And I agree, some really fantastic 70's Fenders about, I've still never played a better Precision than my '71 Si
  15. Sibob
    Still eying up one of the Elwood 5s in stock for when my Shuker sells, either one of those or an Xotic Si
  16. Sibob
    Yup, standard for all Maruszczyk payments, including my custom. Si
  17. Sibob
    *Forum shocked that a shop sells a bass for more than the private sale value* Si
  18. Sibob
    Bought a pedal from me, easy to deal with a paid quickly. Thanks Si

    [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1460965688' post='3030102'] Love Victor for the simple reason that he has no inhibitions, restrictions or boundaries to what he does, or attempts with a bass guitar. He has an extremely fertile imagination as well as a mountain of talent. Sure, he's gained a reputation as a show pony, but so what? Put him in any context and he'd be able to absolutely nail it. He is also, by all accounts a very genuine, humble and generous man. [/quote] Fully agree with everything above. I studied with him a couple of years ago at one of the camps and he's incredibly lovely and very accessible for anything you want to know! Si
  21. Sibob
    He's a master musician and educator, enough said, and I don't like slap solo stuff. How's this for emotion: http://youtu.be/3mBfTe9owUw Si

    [quote name='Hugh971' timestamp='1460750937' post='3028562'] My custom Elwood arrived today! I'm proper chuffed with it. The craftsmanship is excellent and it plays like butter. The setup out of the box is perfect for me too, which is unusual. Usually I've got the allen keys out within 5 minutes of opening the box. Hugh [/quote] Very nice! What's custom about the build? Compared to their stock 'Human Nature' builds. Si
  23. Sibob
    Cheers guys, yes it's a beaut of a bass, just fancying a bit of a change is all Si
  24. Sibob
    It basically just sounds like Stefan Lessards SSB rendition from the Dave Matthews Central Park concert, not awful, but meh. I'm not sure what tone people are expecting him to play with, a nice fat P-bass tone isn't going to cut through in a stadium like that, it isn't a band after all. Si

    Which muff fuzz?

    Sibob replied to Bigwan's topic in Effects

    [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1460454136' post='3025778'] Thought I'd give a quick update. Last night was the first opportunity I had to sit down with the TFR and Musket pedals I built. The Musket is the hands down winner for me. So flexible and can get SUPER aggressive. Just haven't clicked with the TFR, although I'm not convinced I haven't made a boo boo somewhere in the build! It sounds REALLY congested, although it has lots of the standard TFR cap values replaced with higher values for bass use. I think further tinkering is required so I'll add a blend and mid control while I'm at it. Maybe add switchable diode options too... Any suggestions on a decent blend circuit Si? Is a paralooper overkill? [/quote] If you don't want to go down the route of a paralooper, just take a look at the Fuzz Dog Blender kit, nice with the onboard pot. Or JMK did a nice layout if you're not fussed about onboard pot: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3414.0;attach=2704 Si
