  1. Yeah I think that’s a good idea. It’s definitely the cross melodies that I struggle with, I’ve recently tried to learn a couple of songs on the keyboard to try to get my brain trained to focussing on a couple of melodies at once!
  2. I’m wondering how many of us bass lot manage to do backing vocals in bands. I play in a covers band and need to start doing some, but have had several attempts and usually ended in failure. Does anyone have any techniques to make this easier?
  3. He did mentioned in an earlier post that it is a short scale, it would be a good idea to update this in the original sale thread to save any confusion.
  4. Is this a short scale version?
  5. Lovely thing, I thought this model had a jazz pickup in it too but can’t see one on this?
  6. Part of a ‘rationalisation’ of instruments, for sale is my Ibanez SRSC805 in Deep twilight flat. Nice compact 5 string to play and good range of sounds. it’s got some playing wear on the body, I’ve tried to show this in the photos. spec below NECK DIMENSIONS Scale : 864mm/34" a : Width 45mm at NUT b : Width 74mm at 24F c : Thickness 20.5mm at 1F d : Thickness 22.5mm at 12F Radius : 305mmR Specifications Neck type SRSC5 5pc Maple/Purpleheart neck-through Body Poplar Burl top/Mahogany wing body Fretboard Purpleheart fretboard w/Avalon Oval inlay Fret Medium frets Number of frets 24 Bridge Mono-rail V bridge (18mm string spacing) Neck pickup Bartolini® MK-1 neck pickup (Passive) Bridge pickup Bartolini® MK-1 bridge pickup (Passive) Equaliser Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) & Mid frequency switch Hardware color Black matte
  7. Having a bit of a clear out so selling a really nice Cort B5 in a teal green colour. I took this in a trade and it is a great value for money, lovely to play and around 3.8kg.

  8. Yeah it must have been you. I was contacted by dub junkie to let me know the history of the bass, I believe you bought it from him! It is a wonderful bass, similar to you I need to clear some space!
  9. Thanks! These comments are making me doubt selling it! If anyone wants to offer more that is fine.
  10. Putting my bongo up for sale or ideally trade. I wanted one for a while and love playing it but doesn’t really fit in with my current band. It’s a great bass - light, very comfortable to play, and sounds great, it’s got a monster high output! 3 band eq, weight is around 8.5lbs. Its in great condition for the age, no real dings or scratches on it other than a bit of buckle rash on the neck plate on the back. Only thing to note is that the neck and body are a slightly different shade, the body slightly paler than the neck. It’s been like this since I’ve had it, can only assume they are different paints that have aged differently. This should be visible in the pictures. Never had the original case with it but have got a semi hard gator case for it. Im keen on trades for a Warwick, Ibanez ehb, or Dingwall 5 strings, but maybe 4s.
  11. The Omnific - Escapades 2 bassists - aggressive proggy instrumental rock / ‘drum and bass’. Talented guys and a very interesting listen!
  12. Thank you very much!
  13. I have severe gas itch for a musicman Sterling or bongo at the moment so I am offering up a beautiful lightweight Maruszczyk 5 string ideally as a trade. I am open to a 4 or 5 string version of either. I have owned it for a couple of years and it is in great condition, with just a few marks on the bottom of the bass where it has been in its stand, there are a couple of small indents in the neck I have also tried to picture and a tiny mark near the bridge. It has an alder body with resonance chambers, flamed maple top. Hard rock maple neck and dark katalox (I’d never heard of it) fingerboard. Delano SBC pickups and 3 band eq and mini switches. Monorail bridge with 18mm string spacing. See the attached paperwork which details the specification and certificate. Not really sure on the pricing for this, but I traded it for a fender us deluxe jazz, and as I say I’m ideally looking for a trade for a musicman Sterling or bongo 4 or 5 or perhaps an Ibanez ehb or Dingwall. based near Chelmsford in Essex. any questions fire away!
  14. Sorry Dan this has now sold, I’ve updated the ad
  15. In new condition, bought for a bass I ended up selling before I changed them, so unopened apart from one.
  16. Price dropped to £360 to try to clear a bit of space for Christmas! Up for sale is my cort gb95. It’s in good condition has a nice hard case with it and is wonderful to play with a great array of power and sounds in the active eq Ideally after a straight sale but could be tempted by a trades involving a cheap precision. I’m based in Chelmsford Standard description below Cort GB95-Custom - Active 5 string custom shop bass with Spalted Maple top and Seymour Duncan pickups This amazing bass is in as brand new shape. A steal at this price. The GB Series basses are for the modern players with a leaning towards the traditional look and feel but with modern appointments and features that improve the overall performance of the instrument. SPALTED MAPLE TOP ON SWAMP ASH BODY Classic body tone wood Swamp Ash is mated with exotic Spalted Maple top to strike an ideal balance between the traditional and the modern - both in looks and in sound. SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS AND DUNCAN DESIGN BEQ-3 ELECTRONICS The GB5-Custom bass is outfitted with Seymour Duncan SJB5-3N and SMB-5D pickups along with the Duncan Design BEQ-3 EQ and Mid-Frequency switch for vast array of great bass sounds at your fingertips.

  17. Can’t believe this has not sold yet, necks on these are awesome
  18. Up for sale or potential trade is this awesome 5 string American deluxe jazz bass, tough decision as I love playing it but wanting to go super lightweight due to function bands long gigs and dodgy back. 2011 18v active model in nicely aged white, it’s generally in good condition there are a few cosmetic battle scars which you can see in the pictures, but this just adds to the mojo in my opinion. I recently changed the pickups to Nordstrand NJ5FS a £200 upgrade which are specifically for this model, which sound great. I would be interested in any trades for lightweight basses sub 8.5lbs either 4 or 5string (this bass is ~10lbs for info) photos to follow
  19. Great basses these GLWTS You must be building up quite a collection Jack!
  20. I can post this would just need to source a box
  21. Wouldn’t really want to ship overseas at present as I don’t have a hard case for this
  22. I have just started playing this again, and am thoroughly enjoying it. I will check out the trim pots, thanks for the tip Wilco!
  23. I was hoping someone could help! I’m trying to fit a d tuner to my lakland Darryl jones and have bought a hipshot 1/2 HE6C, but the nut doesn’t seem to fit. Having read online that the hole in the headstock isactually metric and you can buy metric ‘nut/bushing’ which will fit. Has anyone had this issue or know where I can buy one of these?
