    Bumpity bump on this . Had a couple of enquiries , but nothing concrete as of yet . So feelers out again . Thanks
  3. E sharp
    Ah. Will do. Thanks for that
  4. E sharp
    Thanks for the reply. Was mainly interested, in how well the interior foam holds out, with the regular removing of the basses- as a normal case/bag would be used.
  5. E sharp
    I don’t know the answer to your question; but let me know what your thoughts are on it when you get it and use it. Will you be using it for regular gigging?
  6. E sharp
    Yes, that’s what I thought too. I’ve read a fair bit up on the pickups, and seems that sticking Nordstrands in, is a common thing- maybe Fat Stacks. Thus making a great bass, maybe better/different, depending on what you’re after. That was something I’d looked into, and just had a crazy idea of adding a third into the mix, that’s all. Contacted Nordstrand direct, to float the idea, with regard to whether the middle pickup would need to be a ‘neck or bridge’ one. They said bridge for the middle. I was just throwing the question/idea out really.

    I didn’t mean ruin as such. It was just that it was implied that by fitting a third pickup was ruining a bass. Yet it’s common practice with Dingwalls. Was common practice with P basses- adding a J at the bridge, before it was offered by Fender. Also I knew more than one person who added a second pickup on their Stingrays in the 80’s, were told it was heresy, then Musicman offered the same opinion years later. I wasn’t intending for this to be a Talkbass flame war thread - just merely putting out the question about whether anyone had done it, or given it a thought. That’s all. Paul

    I’m in two minds about it. But then again why do owners of Dingwall NG2s ruin them by fitting a third pickup, making them an NG3? I was just wondering if anyone had done it really, and not sure if I will or not. I doubt I’m the only owner of one who hasn’t thought about it. I asked the same question over on Talkbass, but not had a reply- I’m not in their click on that site.

    Hi all . Just throwing out the idea of a third pickup in a M5-24 . They're the 'P2 Bartolini' sized Sadowsky branded pickups. Was thinking about getting a third squeezed into the gap . The front would have to be moved forward by a few millimetres to enable this . The middle pickup would then be in the MM position pretty much I guess . Either leave the Pan pot as it is , fit a 5 way one , or the Dingwall aftermarket 5 way one . Has anyone on here done this , know anyone who has , or been thinking of doing the same? Paul

    Japanese Metro Modern 5 string for sale. Got this some time last year from BassBros. Went up there to chop in a couple of basses, and did a deal on this, for one of my ones. I’ve recently acquired another Japanese one that’s slightly newer with a maple board, which I prefer. This is the link to the shop ad … https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2010-sadowsky-japan-metro-m5-24-modern-2/ I’m not geared up to ship unfortunately, but can meet up within reason. Fancy another DB751, if someone wants a trade. Can post some more pictures if required. Thanks, Paul

    Does this have side dots? For a numpty bass guitarist like me?
  13. E sharp
    Top man. I’m in Norfolk, and was hovering for a bit on this. One of the best deals on here

    40th Birthday party tonight with the function band. Sonic Farm pre has died, so rolling with the Para Driver, with blend set to clean. Only one speaker tonight due to space. Second gig with the Sadowsky that I swapped my Stingray 5 for. Really liking it- so easy to play
  15. E sharp
    Perhaps they have an ex Sadowsky employee working for them

    Needed a pre amp pedal as quick as , for the weekend and ongoing , due to my Sonic Farm dying on me , and no one able to fix it that I can find . Checked various sites , and settled on a second hand Tech 21 Para Driver , from Bass Direct . Went online on Wednesday at work , and was ordered at 15:33 hrs . Got an E mail from Royal Mail yesterday at 14:09 hrs to say delivered . Can't fault that service at all .

    I vowed I'd never have another Bogart again , after the hassles I had with the one I had built ; but I always liked this one that Alex had. Almost tempted to get another , now I've seen this up for sale again . There's a link of him doing a demo of this bass on YouTube , but it won't allow me to copy and paste onto here .

    OK. If you want to PM your address and mobile number, I’ll pop over tomorrow night after work. Got kids football until around 8, so I could be in Lynn by around 9pm. Is that good for you?
  20. E sharp
    Oh sorry, I just saw the update of the ad. So £100 pick up in Lynn?
  21. E sharp
    Is £80 the same for a pick up in Kings Lynn. I’m only 30/40 miles away from Lynn. Paul

    All now SOLD

    Absolutely immaculate Stingray Special 5. Bought from The Gallery last month, but I probably am not going to gig it. 2018 model, and there’s not a mark on it. It looks like the previous owner had it from new, and never ever been taken out at all. It’s so new, with a lovely sparkling finish, that I’m almost reluctant to get it marked. The case is without a mark too. So I’d say it’d just stayed in their house. Another one of my impulse buys, that’ll cost me money- in true Basschat fashion. So going to lose on it. Link to the Gallery listing is - https://thebassgallery.com/products/copy-of-ernie-ball-music-man-stingray-5-special I’m up for trades of either similar monetary value, or something cheaper with cash my way. Got to be a 5er, but no Jazz type basses please, as I just can’t get on with them. I like 5P types, Sadowsky moderns/PJs etc. Also might be tempted by an EUB, or Aggie 751, Berg speakers etc So hit me up with trade options. I’m open to a lot of stuff. Thanks

    I've had my Sonic Farm 2idi stop working . The XLR line out , XLR DI , and 1/4" unbalanced out , are all dead . The 1/4" thru still works , and I can still use the aux and headphone mini jacks - so still use it for practicing . I'm having a real headache trying to find anyone local to me (East Anglia) , who'll touch it . I've E mailed Sonic Farm direct , but they've not replied . Anyone on here know of someone who's local to me - and trustworthy , as I've been ripped off in the past . Thanks
