Turn a knob towards the bridge, I'd expect to hear the bridge pickup. That makes more sense to me
-
You people are weird (Not really, and I could probably get used to it as it would be my only bass with a balance pot).
-
As long as it sounds great, looks cool and plays nice, it's all good with me😎
-
I know it's standard but it still feels like a flaw in design I've had the bass open and of course it's easy to flip the wires, but still...

Well, I've been working for De Bassist for quite a few years now and I recognize absolutely nothing of what you say. I know the chief editor quite well and I can't imagine he did this on purpose. I am 100% sure that if you'd e-mail him now you'd get a free sub anyway. Claiming it's "the worst magazine on the planet run by a totally incompetent publishing company" by one experience is IMO waaaaay to harsh and completely unnecessary. Anyway, the Sadowsky is in and I am quite impressed. Sounds great, feels awesome, is super light and has one maaaaaaaaajor flaw: the pickup balance knob is reversed. Turning it counterclockwise gives me the neck pickup. WRONG. But still: great bass. I might buy one. The review will be in Dutch of course but if you guys ask reeeeally nicely, I might translate it

I'm getting one in tomorrow to review for De Bassist (Dutch bass magazine); a fiver with maple fretboard. I've read up a little about the MetroExpress series and am now extra curious about this one. I was actually considering buying a four string as a backup for my vintage Fender.

And sounds nice too 😇

Played at Dutch national radio yesterday! Three songs, three basses, three techniques.

Released the 50th (well technically the 51st if you include the Pino Palladino bonus episode) episode of my podcast today. 50 episodes. And far from done.

Padded cover for my vintage Bassman 100 head?
BassAgent replied to BassAgent's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks all! I got a tip from a friend: Coversforall (coversforall.de), a German company that also makes amp covers in leather, with padding -
A while back, I bought this awesome 1974 Bassman head, but I'd love to have a decent padded cover for it. Somehow I can't seem to find a (affordable) cover for it. Does anyone know where I can get one?

I have had quite some lenghty conversations with excellent luthiers that are absolutely convinced it does. More than anything. Aaaaaanyway. I was on Dutch national radio yesterday. Brought three basses for three songs. I can't embed the video (and I hope it can be viewed abroad) but here is the first one, where I used my Blade that's currently armed with Lollar pickups and an Aguilar OBP-1: clickyclick And here's the other one, with my Mustang: clickyclick We recorded the third one for the podcast of this radio show. Don't know if it's coming online as a video as well.

Wow, they look great! I honestly thought I'd seen all Yamaha models but have never seen this one. Great looking thing.

Let me know what you think (and there are more English spoken episodes if you like it ), enjoy!

I interviewed Pino about his gear, his new album and everything else, released last Thursday as an episode of my podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/65MAcnzE1Ja59w5DoXweCx?si=TaQ1xT5uR3eL6Uv50RZYGA&dl_branch=1

Still waiting for some power cables but otherwise finished. I've added the octaver and compressor this week and very happy with the board as it is. The Boss is there when I play guitar, the grey pedal is a custom built bass tube screamer that sounds absolutely killer.
-
I'm honestly probably going to use the MXR I just bought mainly without the dry signal😅
-
This is an exact description of what I was looking for. I was at the local music store here in Amsterdam and they had one in stock. I tested it and bought it immediately. Killer pedal.

"...and why?" 😁

So I'm looking for a new octaver and the obvious choice is of course finding an OC-2 for a decent price, but I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking options, especially affordable ones. I've owned two OC-2's in the past (which were great) and a grey label OctaBass (which was so-so in tracking) but I've been out of the octaver market for a few years now. The Octabvre looks great but is a tad more expensive than the Boss and the EBS, I've been checking out the TC Electronic Nether (which is very cheap), the Korg OCT-1 (which is very old) and the MXR Vintage Bass Octave (which is pretty pricey). Soooo I guess I'm missing a few? I'm, as is everybody, looking for that square wave Tim Lefebvre/Stu Brooks kind of sound and will probably rarely use it with the dry signal mixed in. A bit like this: https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZfstnIxEN0ZAQjQw4hb19?si=a12f0870c87d470e

I grew up in Coventry in the 70s and 80's surrounded literaly by 2Tone/Ska. Loved listening to it but never learned any as I drifted into classic rock, metal and punk. Then one day a few months ago I had a mad fit and decided to learn some Specials basslines (Gangsters/Too Much Too Young/A Message to you Rudy). Best fun Ive had on a four string ever.

It feels surrealistic: I have two gigs in one week next week. And one is in Belgium. And they're with an audience. And I can't wait.
