  1. Used at rehearsals ( loud ) and it sounds very good. Not far away from my ABM600 tone and is now the tone I need for my second amp Such a difference it makes using the contour switch and then boosting the low mids Unable to get that tone with only the Amp EQ rotary controls Good work GK Sounds amazing with a PBass
  2. The stock PU in my player are very nice and does the job well I’ve put Dimarzio D122 in my Squier CV 70’s and they are very nice too, highly recommend them especially for rock
  3. Used my new Boss WL-20 last night and I’m very impressed Strange thing I kept thinking / sensing I need to watch my lead under my feet only to see there was no lead !!! Years of playing with leads I guess ! Very liberating being able to move about more Sound was spot on
  4. Were the electrics quiet on it ? Im modifying my CV70’s and it’s now a superb bass. As stock it was a buzz fest if you took your hands off the strings Better grounding and shielding and new PUPS has improved it no end.
  5. My Player Series is whisper quiet and was from new. The CV was noisy with stock pickups and even more noticeable with the Dimarzio when fitted. Since the shielding job it’s now as quiet as my Player Series.
  6. This is so much the normal Without shipping you are at the mercy of the local collection market I’ve seen these go for £50 locally which is a reflection of the market They are worth £150 - £200 even for older models in good condition I keep all my boxes so come sale day I will offer courier shipping
  7. My Boss WL-20 just arrived and will be put through its paces tomorrow night Trying it at home so far I like it and the style of it ( far better than a strap pouch models in my opinion, was using Line 6 G30 ) Will be gigged this weekend 👍
  8. My fairly new GK 800 head has been a challenge at times getting my ideal sound ( close to my ABM600) Although it’s my backup or smaller venue amp I still wanted to get a nicer tone from it and I came close to selling it but …., Ive learnt a very good tone feature that wasn’t obvious and not one I would normally choose at first. The Legend has a bass boost, contour and presence switch and on its own Contour is a bit like the ABM600 SHAPE smiley face pulled mids sound. I normally avoid this tone as without the mids it gets lost in the mix. However I’ve found a great sound where you run bass boost on and contour on but back off the bass control and boost the low mids and high mids. You cannot achieve the same tone just using the B, LM, HM, Treb controls ( trust me I tried ) The resulting sound is fuller, more depth yet still punchy and the mid honk sound has gone. It sounds perfect with my PBass and is the best I’ve got out of this amp so far.
  9. After upgrading my pickups to the Dimarzio DP122 which are amazing pickups I decided the shielding buzz was the next thing to tackle. I purchased 20mm copper tape and lined the pickup cavity and the control plate cavity and it made a huge difference. I would like to change the tone pot and capacitor too It’s turned a good bass into a great bass Going to fit a HiMass bridge too as next job ( already fitted this bridge on my Player Series PBass )
  10. Just ordered Boss WL-20 to use live with my PBass
  11. I feel the Ray34 is an amazing bass to play, comfortable feel and balanced. Having said that I do love my PBass and I’m going to stick with that and sell on my nearly new Ray34 on here Tough decision and someone looking for a Ray34 will get a great bass at a reduced price.
  12. Up for sale is my 3 month old Sterling Ray34 bass Played it at home mostly and two gigs since I purchased it new this year but I really prefer my Pbass Has the roasted maple neck and 3 band EQ Comes with Sterling padded gig bag New strings recently fitted EB 50-105 coated roundwounds which sound great on the Ray34 it’s in very good condition, virtually as new apart from light playing marks on the pickguard. Can be shipped in original box / packaging to U.K. address if buyer wishes to arrange Withdrawn from sale and looking at trades instead

  13. I’ve come round to that way of thinking and I’m looking to sell my Ray34 or trade for a PBass
  14. Buy it and find out lol 😂 Yes it was nice but now it’s very nice I have three basses and this must go
  15. Wow didn’t notice that lol 😂 Corrected now SQUIER
  16. Squier CV 70’s PBass in black with maple neck Upgraded Dimarzio DP122 pickup fitted Good condition with usual playing marks on pickguard etc and tiny mark on back Purchased last year as a backup bass and no longer needed Can be shipped at buyers expense and arrangement etc
  17. The guys at PMT online are great and very helpful Matt has helped me before, top bloke
  18. My Hercules stand arrived broken that I ordered and the store just said they will ship a new one. Great service and quickly reacted to the problem. Again hassle for me but it’s the new normal. In fairness a lot of damage happens in transit as we all know. Quality checks on goods before shipping doesn’t happen and I suspect returns don’t get checked either !
  19. I have been known to use most of the big name stores for ordering guitars, amps, effects, etc etc from Andertons, PMT, and many others starting with G ! All of them have sent out damaged or B stock like goods sold as new goods. All of them handled the issues quickly and professionally but naturally hassle for me. I now accept online purchasing is a gamble ( mainly as many goods are returned so technically not “ new” anymore for the next customer. If I order a bass, an amp or cabinet I ask that it’s a factory boxed new stock and not a return and this has reduced the issues. I would say on average over the last four years 60% of the stuff I’ve ordered has arrived marked, damaged or faulty ! The joys of online shopping!!
  20. Was that with a Jack socket on side of bass like Ray34 ?
  21. How does the Boss WL20L perform with the Ray34 active bass ?
  22. The Orange LBT is a great amp and so are the Ashdown RM series Avoid the Ampeg PF range as they I believe still suffer from shutdown issues The GK Legacy range is nice ( Polar sell on EBay at low prices )
  23. Dam I would of purchased that !! The cab I mean
  24. Sell the SVT !!! I had one and they are lovely albeit very heavy
