That’s just a 44-64, but with a Darkstar/Bisonic pickup. You have two options: 1) Find a stock US or Skyline 44-64 and mod it yourself, Guild and Curtis Novak sell their versions of the Darkstar/BiSonic pickup. 2) Have Lakland USA build the bass for you from stock….although they may ask you to source the pickup to be sent to them.

Ooo, is that the one from Andy Baxter’s? Soooo nice! Si

I mean, for me, partly the price is due to never needing to change them, similar to flats. When they go off, they do so in a really musical and toneful way. So really, you're saving money over roundwounds haha. My experience of them has been very pleasing, I love how flexible they are, and they sound amazing on recordings and through an amp. What I will say, is that because of their very low tension, instead of finger noise, you do have to be careful of 'acoustic clatter' if you have a heavy touch. Either you have to be comfortable with adapting your approach, or already be a light-touch player. But if you can make them work for you, they're wonderful strings. Black Nylons much the same but without as much brightness, I've got a P strung with them all over the new Jocee recordings.....but unlikely to be released until 2023. You can hear the Gold White Nylons on my active Lakland 55-01 (US Dual Coil Barts and NTMB Pre) on this track here: Si

Gah, could you just shave a pound off the weight? 😂 GLWTS Si -
SOLD Like new with box, power cable and assorted patch power cables etc. There is some velcro attached to the unit, I can remove that if needed. "The DC5 link is a professional, small and very flat power supply for effect pedals with 5 isolated outlets. Being only 31mm high it fits under the flat Pedaltrain nano, mini, new nano+ and all metro boards. It offers voltages 9, 12 or 18V and has a total output current of 900mA. The top two switchable 9 or 12V outlets can power any two Strymon, Eventide or other two medium to high current pedals. The middle outlet in 18V setting can power one or two dirt pedals, Pigtronix, MXR or other 18V pedals. The bottom two outlets configurable to either 9 or 12V can power two or even more standard low current pedals when used with Split Flex or 3-way daisy chain Flex. In 12V setting using Stack Flex, they’ll power a 24V pedal. If needed, all 5 isolated outlets will give you 9V DC in the default position of the settings switch." The price includes delivery in the UK. Stock photo for now, will upload one of the actual unit this evening. Si -

Not me I'm afraid. Lovely looking Precision though! Si -
Hi all, Anyone have any interest in giving these a go? These: https://www.labella.com/product/dt54/ I had them fitted to a bass for a few months in drop C# tuning, however the bass has been sat in my cupboard unused and is now being sold in standard tuning. As such these are cut for a 34" neck, 2+2 headstock. The strings have had a tiny bit of use at home, probably about an hours playing. They do not have the packaging, they're just coiled up at this point. £10 inc postage. Cheers Si -
I have a DC5 and would quite like to upgrade it to the DC7, it's not really a financial priority, but I think Cioks really do have the power-bank market sewn up with regards to features and quality. Si

I had a very similar issue with my 1971 Precision, one side of the pickup died during lockdown, just randomly (as they do): I considered replacing the pickup and leaving the original.....well..."original". But I came to the conclusion of 'why leave something original if it's ultimately useless'. So I had Aaron Armstrong rewind it to vintage spec, cost was around half of a new pickup (as only one side needed doing), if the other coil also needs rewinding, you're looking at a similar cost to a new pickup. I would highly highly recommend Aaron Armstrong. Si

Bless ‘em, the wheels really fell off when they started talking about scale length 😅 Si

To be fair, if you Google Fodera, the first site that comes up is there's and in the title it says "Handmade In Brooklyn". Si

Fantastic drive pedal, I still have the prototype that Tom and I devised, can't say that it's going anywhere! Si

This was the exact rig I rocked for a number of years, probably mid-2000's to early 2010's....something like that?! Even down to the UK built aspect of all three. I found the head to be a delight, albeit large and heavy. The cabs were fine as a pair, but I personally found them to be lacking individually (on a gig that is), it certainly taught me that rear-ported is not for me. Si

It looks like a stripped finish, partly because of the wood combinations used for the body (not perfect matches), plus they didn’t (to my knowledge) offer natural finishes in 1968. So you’re obviously looking at less than a fully original example, but still a nice looking bass. Si

Yeah First Gen Scarletts are fine on Windows 10 and 11 (as per our compatibility page here: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403683106066-Focusrite-product-compatibility-with-Windows-11), and as you say, you'll just get that relevant driver from our Downloads page. So hopefully, you'll be all sorted Si

All about the P bass for me, in almost every setting. I can stretch to a decent P/J.....as long as it's a J pickup on a P body/spec haha. Si

Indeed, I know that all our USB products (Focusrite and Novation) are class compliant on Mac, but require USB drivers on Windows. I believe that is also a fairly reasonable rule of thumb for other audio gear too from what I've seen, although I do seem to remember seeing some gear being class compliant on Windows, but I think that might be the exception rather than the rule.

I think with a lot of the Sansamp suggested settings, they’re set to full on the blend control (ie no clean bass sound). I know that the key with the original Sansamp to get the mids working for you again (which kind sounds like the issue here) is to start to bring that blend control in, tried that? Si

Also just bear in mind that PC's are somewhat of a minefield with regards to their parts and those parts compatibility with recording gear. Places like Scan do their best to put together machines where all the composite parts work together nicely, but then add in more 3rd party music gear which require drivers to play nicely with the PC's hardware and it can become tough. It's why many people choose to work on Mac when it comes to Audio. This isn't a "you should swap to Mac" post, more to make sure you look at what the PC is made up of, and whether that hardware/drivers are fully compatible without issue with the recording gear you have/are planning to use.

Hofner Beatle basses - so bloody many in the range!

It does make you think that the Ignition models are more preferable to the CT ones, especially the new Ignition SE, which seems to include the 'correct' knobs and a few other bits. For just over £300, not too shabby to approximate THAT sound. Still prefer the Club models though, especially the black one. Si -
Ooohhhh I should have bought this when it was attached to the body 😥 GLWTS Si -
I looked at it, but didn’t have the weight listed, and didn’t mention about the state of the truss rod etc. I’m not in a rush. Great price if it’s solid though! Si

That’s one way of putting it. Si
