[b]Yamaha RBX270 (1999)[/b] First bass, traded it for my Yamaha BB N5II [b]Yamaha RBX270F (2000)[/b] Sold, great bass [b]Yamaha BB N5II* (2001)[/b] My first 5-string ever. I traded it for the Frankenbass but regretted it so much I bought it back. It's tuned E-C now and I love it so much... [b]ESP/Knooren frankenbass (unknown)[/b] Traded it for the TRB5II [b]Blade B2 Tetra Jazz* (2001)[/b] Bought this really really cheap. It's a very nice bass but I upgraded it anyway, with an Aguilar OBP-1 and Nordstrand NJ4s. It got signed by Marcus Miller I'll never ever sell this. [b]Fender Jazz Bass Standard Fretless* (2004)[/b] Best fretless I've ever played. [b]Yamaha TRB5II (2001)[/b] Sold... it was an awesome bass. [b]Yamaha BB414 (2007)[/b] Traded it for one of my Aguilar cabs. It was an excellent instrument and I want one again some day. [b]Johann Georg Kessler double bass (unknown)[/b] Sold. I got tendonitis from playing upright so I had to sell it. I still have the urge to play... [b]Motion B-05 BK (unkown)[/b] This was in a terrible state when I got it. I cleaned and repaired it, played it for a while then sold it. It got me GAS for a proper acoustic bass though. [b]Blade B1 (2003)[/b] Sold. I will regret this for ever. [b]Cobelens & de Bruyne Primo merbau (2008)[/b] Returned it to the luthiers, so they could use the electronics and hardware for my new bass. My endorsement ended (they stopped building entirely) before I got the new one. [b]Squier Vintage Modified Precision* (2008)[/b] Changed the pickups to Fender Original, it got a new bridge and new pots, and it's now way better than a USA Fender. [b]Yamaha BB300 (1989)[/b] Good bass, but I traded it for the TRB5F [b]Yamaha TRB5F (1995)[/b] Awesome fretless, but I liked my Fender more so I sold it. [b]Squier Standard Jazz Bass (2007)[/b] Sold. It was good but not good enough. [b]Celinder J Update 4* (1998)[/b] I have dreamed of having a Celinder for about 5 years and now I was able to afford it and get it for a reasonable price. It's an old one (and the one in the Basschat banner) and one of the most comfortable basses to play I own. It's certainly the loudest. [b]Squier Classic Vibe Jazz Bass (2009)[/b] This was absolutely fantastic and made me buy my '66 Jazz. I sold it anyway [b]Fender Jazz Bass* (1966)[/b] Thanks to me and my brother winning a Dutch TV quiz I could buy this. It has been my dream to have a vintage Jazz for my entire bass life, and now I have this one Everyone who plays it, including yours truly, is astonished by the playability, feel and sound of this creation from heaven. * indicates I still have them.

I don't have all the basses together right now, but this is my Jazz Bass collection. The OWH is a refinished bass from 1966 I also own this: And this: And this is on the way, probably:

Very nice

Update: the Cobelens has gone back to its makers (they're building a new one for me and needed the electronics and hardware of this one) and I've sold the TRB5 to afford a car. So, now I have this: Around Christmas I will be owning my new Cobelens & de Bruyne ánd I'm about to buy a Squier CV Jazz Oh, and the Squier got a Fender Original Precision Pickup, and the Blade got Nordstrand NJ4s.

My B2 is lighter, I think. About 8.

The first one is accessible again!

Yes, part 2! [url="http://www.hidderoorda.nl/the%20bass%20orchestra.mp3"]CLICK[/url] Basses used: Yamaha TRB5II and Fender fretless Jazz Bass. Effects used: Dalgic Muzik Small Tone (Small Stone copy) and Boss CE-2B.

That's it?

No, it slows down... That's the weird thing. I've found a name on the PCB: "Dagic Muzik".

Nope... I've just tried it out "fa real" and, when actually switched on, it doesn't sound half bad. It's the switching that's crooked. It sounds a bit like a car starting.

I bought a phaser pedal second hand, assuming that it was a Russian EHX Small Stone. The seller had posted a picture of one in his ad, and the title of the ad was "small tone". I thought that was a typo, because the rest of the ad was very badly written as well... I received it today, and it turned out to be anything but a Russian Small Stone. It's a brandless phaser pedal called a "Small Tone". It works, sort of... The pots are rusted, the casing isn't what it used to be, one of the pots doesn't seem to work at all, the switch is cranky, the phaser makes some weird sounds that don't belong there when I turn it on, the inside is a mess, the PCB isn't attached to the casing but loose inside... It has an EHX power supply input, that's weird as well... It looks like this: Does anyone know what it is?

I once owned this. It was way too good for its price. I sold it to afford my Cobelens & de Bruyne custom bass. I want one again! So my bass of the day is a Blade B1. Availability second hand: none.

The new demo is done!!! Check out the tracks on [url="http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass"]http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass[/url] They're called Open Your Mind and Everything.

Nobody?

We, as in Nona and her band, have been playing for about a year now and there is some live stuff on YouTube that I wanted to share with you guys I do some of the writing, of course the bass part and backing vocals. In chronological order: I wonder what you think of it! Our new EP is also done!!! Check it out on [b]http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass[/b]!!

I want to have some new pickups for my Blade B2 Tetra Jazz: It's a great bass already, but I am still a bit unsatisfied about the sound. I've replaced the preamp already (it's equipped with an Aguilar OBP-1) and now it's time for the pickups. I'm looking for the really good stuff. A vintage tone with enough punch and width, I'll do the rest with the preamp. I've thought of a couple of options: [b]Nordstrand NJ4[/b] + Good stories - Really expensive [b]Fender Custom Shop 60's[/b] + They sound great in my Fender fretless Jazz and they're cheap - Don't know how they'll sound in a fretted bass [b]Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups[/b] + Noiseless - Don't know the sound [b]Lindy Fralin[/b] + My favourite Dutch luthier loves them, they sound great in my Celinder - Expensive Am I missing something, do you guys have other/better options?
