So close.
unfortunately…got lots of follow up work to do after a bad day at work.
anyhow…at some point…
The Modern player will be fully rescued.
Thanks to @OllyWfor the heads up on the tuning pegs.
Er.
Its the notes out of one of our tracks (soon to be released) but played like a level 42 song called “43” I think.
message me your number in a bit - I’ll send the rough mixdown of the track.
To be honest - I had my bass hands on that day, not my knackered hams I have today 😂
right. Now beer.
need to remember that Neck pickup is right there.
But this is a great bass with plenty of sounds.
I’ll do Some better vids when I’m not brain dead and 24,000 steps into a day 😂
Always thought the big Al looked ace.
Weirdly, it’s probably a bit more conventional than the bongo in appearance.
like the caprice and cutlass p/j & p - maybe it was a solution for a problem which didn’t exist.
What do I know?
Anyhow. Just in from work. Going to cobble together a video (no talking, just some out of practice playing).
Will go through the pickups and eq etc. should be ok for the curious.
I did some stuff on a guitar for a mate and he “paid” me with this - handy 🤣
Its a really decent overdrive, and sounded much warmer and nicer than the previous drive pedal I had.
I’ve just bought a TC Spectradrive, so this and my comp are up for sale.
Here are some pictures
Got this recently but another comp/drive pedal I’ve been after has come up which I’ve bought.
I’m not big into pedals. So won’t keep them for the sake of it - I know others do.
But this is a lovely compressor - apparently there are 3 versions of this pedal and this is the one to own.
on the face of it, it’s a very clean pedal…the underside has seen better days - but it works and sounds great.
Velcro for pedalboard and works with battery or mains.
Ive used it for 2 rehearsals and loved the sound overall. Used it for some recordings too and it did a great job.
Anyhow -
Here it is.
Yeah - feels nice, smooth satin on the back.
4 clover 1/2” ultralights on order.
total spend on the fix is a bit high. But never bin a good bass.
need to find my draw full of pickguard screws.
Sooo…yeah. Looks like I’m ordering the hipshot ultralights.
Neck holes are pre drilled. A little wax and pre fit screw check…all good.
but I’m not getting into pressing the bushes in.
Will be a nice bass when it’s done.
Needs a good clean still.
The first version was just vvt with two double jazz pickups - glossy finish.
The second version (like this one) had the rotary.
im going to offer up existing machineheads (gently) and then make a decision.
Neck has arrived.
feels like it weighs less than the original neck.
@OllyWi had read this - will see what’s what. I’m not rushing with it as I’ve not got anything on with the band this week.
is the back of the head pre drilled for machineheads?
