Removed from another project bass I was making. I bought this new. This is a clean and clear Glockenklang preamp. It’s in full working order. https://www.glockenklang.de/en/products/bass_systems/onboard_2-band.htm Volume, Balance, Treble and Bass controls with passive tone circuit activated from Push/Pull volume control. Specs from the Glockenklang website: ‘Onboard preamp 2-band The GLOCKENKLANG 2-band onboard preamp is active/passive switchable (at the volume push/pull), has a balance-pot with no volume dip in center-position, a treble-pot with +/- 18 dB@18 KHz in active mode, acting as classical highcut in passive mode and a bass-pot with +/- 14 dB@40 Hz. Battery-connection is 9 / 18 volts. Due to the high performance electronic, in flat position of the eq you can hear no difference between active and passive mode! It comes pre-wired with highflexible cables.‘ £69 plus shipping. Pete

Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete

Hopefully better than I did...I could'nt find the right size of threaded insert for the thumb screws to go into, so I just drilled into wood. Somewhere in the comments on that video is a comment that says the right kind of insert (I think...).
-
Yes, it is. I have had an issue on my Precision with it. Turns out my Precision doesn’t have pickup polepieces that are grounded. So, if I don’t have a good path to ground (e.g. because the strings are coated in non-conductive material), I get a ton of noise touching the polepieces. Like when Elixirs are installed.
-
Good responses. I’m going to try these Dragon Skins out then. Though one thing I need to check - do they allow strings to ground properly at the bridge? (i.e. Is the coating conductive?)

Hello all Cleaning out the parts cupboard. I somehow have accumulated 3 sets of these Hipshot Licensed Ultralite 1/2” Clover tuners in chrome. All in great condition/fully working as you would expect. I love these tuners - great value. I’m going to suggest £70 shipped in the UK for each set. First come, first served! Now down to 1 set after 2 sets sold. Pete

I meant to say. Here’s what these Turner pickups sound like with an ACG EQ01 preamp - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxJtT8a3cc And here’s what they sound like with the Lusithand Double NFP (the Mark 1 version, not the Mark 2). - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic They sound great with the preamp in this body - the Double NFP mark 2. -

Hey all Since I have a fully working Wal-ish Mark 2 bass after all my YouTube adventures, I’m selling off the Mark 1 Wal-ish bass. Well, most of it, since I’ve used the neck somewhere else for a project. So I guess there are 2 ways to do this. The first way is I sell everything here as a unit, and someone gets a bargain for the loaded body. Stick a neck and strings on, you’re good to go. A fretless neck would be ideal for this. The second way is that folks want different bits of it and I part it out as people ask for them. I’d update the thread as we go, in that case. I don’t mind which way it sorts itself out. The body is an alder MIM Fender Precision Bass with a custom black pickguard. Fully loaded with all parts, it weighs 3.17kg. Unloaded of the parts apart from the pick guard, it weighs 2.52kg. The loaded body has the Turner SPSC multicoil pickups with parallel, single coil, and series switching for both pickups. These are hooked up to the newest Lusithand Double NFP Preamp Mark 2 and loaded with the Lusithand Knobs. The pickups are placed where Wal Mk1 pickups sit. These bridge is an aluminium Hipshot A bridge, and the body has a battery box and Dunlop Straplocks. These are of course all premium parts. Cost for the fully loaded body - £469. Shipping is additional to this. This is a great deal for someone, the cost of parts and work to get something like this is obviously much higher. ————— The other way is for the individual parts to be sold off as folks ask for them. This will mean the pickups need rewired to the switches etc as they don’t all come out whole. 1. Turner SPSC multicoil pickups with switches - details at https://reverb.com/uk/item/50385599-turner-pickups-multicoil-4-string-mc4-n-spsc. These will cost you £310 + shipping + import fees from USA for you to buy a set presently. £229 2. Lusithand Double NFP Preamp, Mark 2. This is the newest version with all the latest features like the attack switch. The knobs will come as part of the preamp if desired. Details at https://lusithanddevices.com/product/double-nfp/. New with knobs, it is £220. To you as individual part, £149. 3. Hipshot A bridge in Aluminium. This allows string through bridge stringing if wanted (not used on this build here though). £49 4. Heavily customised Fender MIM Precision Bass body in Electron Blue with custom pickguard, Dunlop straplocks, battery box, and side jack. Some light scratches as photographed. £99 Shipping is additional to all prices. Pete -
I’m getting a little tired of the higher tension of Elixir SS, even the lighter sets. I do like how smooth they feel though. Does anyone know if the Dragon Skin steels feel very grippy? I might try the quantum nickels if so…or maybe I’ll get round to the Rotosound Nexus sets I keep thinking about…
-
Agreed @eude - I prefer @stevie’s designs! I have a feeling the TE Elf 1x10 will have to truncate the top and bottom end a fair bit, focusing on mid range efficiency. And I did briefly own a BF One10 (non tweeter) but found it a bit too coloured for my taste. And not enough ‘ping’ without a tweeter. Also the low end was tighter than I wanted…but they are very power efficient cabs… The Goodwood is massive by comparison to the others. So would have much bigger low end. And the compression driver is excellent. I’m looking at a novel solution for busking power. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ALLPOWERS-Portable-41600mAh-Generator-Emergency/dp/B09M3S5H9M?th=1&psc=1

@stevie, how well would the Goodwood work with a Trace Elliot ELF or a Warwick Gnome? 200W amps but into 4 ohm; more like 100W-ish when into 8 ohms. I think I can rig up a battery solution that would work with a small amp like one of those for busking. It just depends then on how efficient the Goodwood is with not much power. I have been eyeing up the TE Elf 1x10 combo and the BF One10T for the same job but would prefer to stick to an LFSys solution!
-
Sold Tim some strings, completely straightforward. You can deal with him very confidently! Pete
-
Ah, you’re too kind @eude . I’ll try to live up to that kindness. The Monzo I tried was excellent. I didn’t buy then as I couldn’t quite justify having 2 cabs both doing basically the same job for me and I didn’t want to sell my Silverstone. (Serial #1, I am proud of that…) The Goodwood is tempting me though. I wonder if I could use it to busk with if I rig up some kind of battery powered amp solution. I use the Everse EV8 for that presently, but it does compress hard when I push it. It also is a bit shoutier if I push it hard. Very portable though. But a plastic cab never sounds the same as properly braced wooden bass cabinet.
-
Hmm. That’s such an endorsement I’m considering trying a Goodwood out. I wouldn’t mind going even smaller for my gigs. I’ve never run out of steam with the Silverstone…hmm

I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Precision for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... as it turns out. I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold White Nylon Tape The Gold White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings are the latest addition to our popular tape wound lineup! Constructed with Golden Alloy (80/20 brass) underlays, these strings are brighter in tone compared to the Copper White Nylon Tape Wounds, and also have dramatically increased attack and sustain. White Nylon Tape Wound on Golden Alloy Underlay Brighter in tone compared to Copper White Nylon Tape strings Standard Tension String Gauges: 750G (.050, .065, .085, .105), 760G (.060, .070, .094, .115) Made in the USA Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness All standard bass sets are LONG scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 ¾” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should be cut or else the string will break. £23 posted in the UK. sold. Pete
