Absolutely, thanks for your input. Unfortunately your sound remedial suggestions are wasted on me 😕 I had factored a bridge replacement into the price and have since sold a load of dusty old gear to the lady that I bought the bass from, which eases the pain somewhat 😅. I'm in communication with a guy in Beverley, North Yorkshire that can sort it out for me 👍

Well, thanks again for all the collective help /advice. I have a jazz trio on the go, currently using a mix of electric fretted / fretless. I've depped on a few gigs for a couple of rockabilly bands using a '76 Jazz whose DB players have damaged themselves (building site related injuries). The other band is a 6 piece function covers band which is irrelevant here. I do need a setup, strings and lessons but have sorted the correct height of the bass and stance sorted out for myself. All the best 👍

Thanks for that your reply 👍 Well, it's home, very pleased with it and looking forward to the journey ahead. A setup & strings, as mentioned in the above posts are fairly imminent but I'm getting a decent noise out of it, as is.

Thank you. Would you have any suggestions for that style. I get that string choice is personal but any guidance would be gratefully received. Ian

Another bloody rabbit hole 😄

Ok, for better or for worse, I've done a deal at £900 subject to viewing on Saturday. I'll report back. Thanks to all for your advice, I'm sure I'll be back for more. All the best 👍

Thanks for your input guys. I'll go and have a look at it. I've talked my D B player mate into coming along so will see how it works out.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1238010064525230/ https://ebay.us/m/S5NwaJ As an electric bass player for over 50yrs, I've never been down the DB route. Obviously, I haven't got a clue but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I've done research on these but as always, everyone has differing opinions. There are a couple of rockabilly guys around here who could possibly try it out for me, it's only 25 miles away. I'm sure the price is negotiable, lots of variables I guess. Is it worth a punt ? Cheers Ian

This crash landed yesterday. Out of the box into rehearsal last night, just needs a tweek on the setup. I like it 👍

Lee, I've been down that route. Alcohol numbs the pain but nearly cost me my life. Hang on in there. It will get better 👍

Done, all the best 👍

I tried but failed... Must have been the '76 T Bird.

Received Peter's Atlas compressor earlier today. Faultless transaction, kept me informed along the way and packaging was spot on 👌. Thanks again Peter.

@Jack Did you resolve this? I can't recall it being an issue when I owned it. Saying that, it wasn't played that often. I'd quite gladly buy it back though 😉.

Currently for the Revolt & HX One. I have a Source Audio midi adapter ordered to link the Atlas. This is my 1st venture into midi. It's a steep learning curve for me but the Morningstar software is pretty good 👍

#3 board.
