Yeah I’ve had plenty of fretted basses with tapewounds, and if you get on with the low tension, they sound awesome! Si
-
I heard stories of the necks being a bit unstable (not retaining a good setup) with heavier guage strings, and so not great for low tunings. Would be great to see if that is an ongoing issue or was a one-off as they look great to fill the void left by Status (from the graphite neck perspective). Si
-
Weren’t they typically supposed to be flush with the butt if the neck? Thoughts? Si

Hey all, Just getting rid of some bits I'm not using currently. This is is a Clarett+ 2Pre (ie the very latest version of the 2Pre), great upgrade if you've been recording for a few years. ADAT in and out, so you can even add another channel strip for up to 8 more channels. Comes with everything you need of course, box contents as per new. You'll also be able to register the unit in order to receive the optional free software/plugins etc. The 2Pre is great because you can also bus-power it if you're running a USB-C Mac Book, no power adapter needed (although that is included of course). Perfect working order of course, couple of marks on top and that's it. £270 + £10 postage. Happy to part ex for a Jad Freer CAPO, with cash your way of course. Cheers Si -
Solid basses and about a good a 5 string you can get for the money! Also a solid base for upgrading pickups/preamp too. Mine is awesome! Si -
Yup, from the mid-60’s to the mid 70’s (around 76 I think), pretty much everything was nitro over poly I believe. Nothing new, Fender are simply talking (marketing?!) about old techniques here. Si
-
Yeah, the old German Standards didn’t have the two-piece bridge, this looks genuine. Si
-
Oh I’d be in trouble if this were fretted! GLWTS Si -
Elrick NJS5s 🔥new pictures and video🔥 - *SOLD*

Phenomenal basses, I have a blacked-out stealth version of this, not quite as light as this one, but still an amazing instrument. GLWTS Si -
I think essentially you’re going to get the same high quality, great sounding instrument, but with the ‘B’ width (1.625”) nut, my preference too! Presumably the pickup is voiced slightly differently too, but won’t be too much of a tweak I shouldn’t think. I’d love one of the 70’s Mocha ones they do! Si

Here’s the latest mini board I’ve settled on, primarily for heavy sounds, but it’s so versatile it can quickly and easily serve as a backup to my main board. Fuzzrocious Cat Tail -> HX Stomp -> Sansamp. All powered by a Cioks SOL. Si
-
Presumably this is an MTD Kingston Saratoga? Si -
A wishful thought 😂 Si
-
Looks like the latest news item alludes to the 40th anniversary bass that was somewhat suggested (albeit cryptically) in Rob’s original retirement message. I wonder whether they’re purely in a holding pattern to put those out as a limited run, and then who knows. Si
-
Cat Tail with clean-blend in 125b enclosure! Sounds brutal into a Sansamp! Si
-
Similar to LW’s point, off-the-shelf zat that price will probably also been a lot of variation in weights even if they’re the same body wood, so not many manufacturers will advertise the weight. Best thing is to try a bunch at Peach, GuitarGuitar, Bass Direct, Bass Gallery etc Si
-
Yeah it's unlikely you'll get anyone else to do it as Real Electronics will have exclusive access to the schematics. Si
-
Just out of curiosity, why are you looking to do a stripboard build as opposed to buy a PCB? Si
-
Easy to mitigate the scooped mids by using a bit more of the blend. I appreciate that's not idea, but I get a nice mid'y clank with my Sansamp BDDI without too much effort. Si
-
The Suncoast version had a switch for selecting between the two channels, and then a separate switch for combining them (plus another for bypass of course). Seems like a nice setup?! Si
-
I had Chromes on my P for a couple of years, started bright, died off nicely as you'd expect. I replaced them with La Bella flats and they instantly sounded like the worn in Chromes, straight out the pack. Lesson? Buy La Bella flats for Precisions Si

Hi all, This band is pretty much defunct now, we all live in different countries now and the others don't know how to record haha. But we had this sitting on a hard drive, so I decided to mix it and have it mastered by Izzy McPhee. Enjoy: https://corybantic.bandcamp.com/track/anxious-liver (It's on Spotify too) Cheers Si

Yes saw that, I have the Sunn beta on the way, so we’ll see how that goes first haha Si
-
That cap positioning under the IC's is......novel haha. Si
-
Would love to try one, but not a financial likelihood at the moment unfortunately. Let us know what you think. Si
