Added options for sale and another p/x (Lakland DJ5) Cheers Si -
Ok thanks. Like I said, I’ve not heard of anything like that, but I’ll see what I can find out on Monday for you. Si // Focusrite (ADAM Audio)
-
It’s not something I’ve heard of, where did you get that information? Si // Focusrite (ADAM Audio)
-
I’m glad to hear it, if you run into any other issues, feel free to drop me a PM, or just contact Tech Support directly ☺️ Enjoy Si

You won’t get it cheaper unless a used one comes up over here (raarreee) Si

My hands are not very sweaty at all, and I largely play Precision type instruments (or not boutique basses basically), so no....never clean the basses or the strings lol. Si

ASAP. I’ll be back out as soon as I’m allowed to be Si

Jake is also currently running 15% off his Website shop too, and there are a few very cool prebuilt basses there: https://www.serekbasses.com/store/ Si

With regards to the gain halo’s, I would always keep yourself in the green....that way you don’t lose a take just because you hit a little harder and peak in the yellow. If you’re always in the yellow, and you accidentally hit a little harder, you’ll clip into the red. You’ll always want the channel set to ‘Inst’ rather than ‘Line’. With regards to output, are you only experiencing the distortion on bass videos? Not on all audio? What are you using to monitor from the Solo? Headphones? Monitor speakers? Are they working correctly? Si // Focusrite

There may be some misunderstanding about settings here if I have read the post correctly. Usually you would record with your bass volume up full, then temper the ‘Gain’ control at the Solo’s input in order to have the halo LED only ever showing green. The hotter the output of the bass, the less gain needed on the interface for it to sit happily in the green. With regards to output issues, it’s odd that it’s distorting, if you play any audio/music from iTunes/YouTube etc, is that also distorted? You may want to run through some Windows optimization such as in this article: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207355205-Optimising-your-PC-for-Audio-on-Windows-10 If you’re continuing to experience problems, you’re best to contact our tech support teams via here: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new Usually it’s a small setup issue and they’ll have you up and working straight away, however there are some rare occasions where a hardware fault is present, which will simply mean you’ll be sent a new unit.

Would be perfect if it didn’t have blocks Si
-
Thanks, I do remember that one. It’s a burst though, which I’m trying avoid really. I’m in no rush, my Expat is great ☺️ Thank-you though. Si

Yes, I would suggest recording direct (ie bass straight to interface), the amp is doing nothing for you other than EQ, which you may as well do in the DAW and take a connection out of the equation. Experiment with your laptop plugged into the mains and just on battery. I've been in some situations where plugged in is better, and just on battery is better....who knows. Also try using as short a jack cable as possible between your bass and the interface. Si

They’re almost certainly made to order, and they’re a custom builder, so they’ll probably be open to build whatever iteration of the bass you’re interested in. Si

Just out of curiosity, would you not be after a transparent sound rather than a ‘warm’ sound when recording DI? Then process it to taste during mixing? Latency is a lot to do (although not entirely) with the USB driver being utilised, our latest USB driver would improve Gen 1 latency, however as you mention, the Gen 3’s are a marked improvement in all specs over Gen 1’s. Also, zero (or ‘conversion-only’) latency is achievable with all interfaces assuming they have direct monitoring capability. Otherwise, your Computer spec, DAW choice, session size/heft, sample rate etc will also contribute to latency figures along with interface and it’s driver. Si // Focusrite

Lockdown has me enquiring about a Limelight. DOH

My very own DIY jazz bass configurator... lots of Fender custom colours...
Sibob replied to LukeFRC's topic in Bass Guitars
Weird, doesn't seem to work for me. Mac with Safari or Chrome, or even if I download the PDF onto my desktop. Fingerboard changes and thats it. EDIT: Sorry, just seen that it needs to be specifically used with Acrobat! All works fine Mmmmmmm, Walnut finish with black scratchplate 😍 Si -
Limelight 62 Jazz bass Black over shoreline Gold SOLD
Sibob replied to Gibbo9876's topic in Basses For Sale
Black over Gold is just the best! Si -
Tidied the post. Please keep all personal comments to PM's. Back to selling the bass. Thanks Si -
For balance, they also mention about the Audient: "Granted the price is higher than budget audio interfaces. In fact, the iD4 (entry-model) has only one 1-input. At the price you pay for the iD4, you could get many other audio interfaces with more ins and outs." Of course, my point here is that people will always have a choice regarding performance vs price, and there's always a line to be drawn with regards to what someone is willing to pay when you start getting into the margins spec wise, not to mention other elements (as the article suggests) such as customer support and software/plugin bundles.

Hi all, Back up for cash sale, only trade options would be an Elrick standard Jazz 5 (not sunburst). I love this Evolution, sounds awesome, light swamp ash body and looks great. It's a solid 9/10 for condition I'd say. A couple of small indentations, but nothing I'm able to photograph well. Stock, these basses come with Bartolini single-coils, however I've swapped those out for Bartolini dual coils that came direct from Rob Elrick. So spec is: 35″ scale Swamp Ash Body 8.5 Lbs (approx) Satin Matte Black Finish 3-piece Quarter-Sawn Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard 24 frets 2-way adjustable truss rod Bartolini hum cancelling Dual-coil soapbar pickups (Made in the USA) Bartolini 3-band pre-amp w/3-way mid and active bypass (Made in the USA) Fully shielded control cavity Black Hipshot Ultra-light tuners Black Elrick bridge – by Hipshot (Made in the USA) Dunlop Dual Design strap buttons (Straplok compatible!) (Made in the USA) £1550 - I'll include a Fusion Urban gig bag in excellent condition! £1500 - No Case Shipping would be difficult just at the moment, but we can talk about it as an extra cost, but happy to organise a socially distanced handover as a preference. UK only for now. Cheers Si

What do Limelight Precision’s tend to come in at new nowadays?

Just not worth the gamble at all! Si -
SOLD Since getting my Serek, I haven't really picked up the Mustang, so have decided to move it on. I'm not in a massive rush or need to sell it, so we'll see what happens. As title states, 2006, MIJ, all original. It has some knocks and bumps (pictures attached to post), the previous owner has also drilled three extra strap-button holes, presumably because they were left a handed. Overall I'd give it around a 7/10 for condition. Bass is a nice Orangey-Fiesta Red. No case unfortunately, and difficult for me to ship it currently, so I'd probably suggest a socially distanced exchange/pay pal type situation?! Currently strung with La Bella Mustang Flats, although I think I have some suitable roundwounds if you're interested. The bass (with flats) can be heard on this track: https://open.spotify.com/track/6vZW77FIMnfRlNfSRxkAIt?si=uNBYiy7_QdW3p-WKxnbAMA Not sure on an exact weight but around 3.5kg, action is great and plays beautifully. SOLD Collection from Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe. Cheers Si
