That's a stunner.

Worth checking to see if the preamp has internal gain pots to allow for pickups with differing output levels. Quick and easy fix if it has.

Has anyone blagged their way into the Musicman factory?
ead replied to stingrayPete1977's topic in General Discussion
Why don't you try it on a bit. Get in touch with their PR folk and tell them you own 15 MM basses (or whatever the real number is if you're averse to doing penance) and have come all the way from The Old Country on a pilgrimage just to see them. You never know... -
Will do. Just snuck on at work this morning and it seems fine at the moment. Maybe my laptop is doing something in the background that I was not aware of? Sorry to have troubled you.

I seems to me that the site is slow again. I can be typing and it will take several seconds before the text actually appears. Pages are slow to load too I feel.

Hi folks I'm taking the momentous decision to acquire a new Barefaced "One Cab To Rule The All" so my trusty long-serving Midget & Compact are up for sale or possible trade for the right BF product more than likely with cash your way. I'm thinking Super Compact, Big Baby 2 or possible Super Twin. Both are in excellent condition and have served me well at many gigs. They have never been abused and mostly serve as monitors as I tend to 'broadcast' through the PA rather than from the backline. In fact for the past 12 months the Compact has been more of a speaker stand for the Midget. Specs are here: http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/midget.htm http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/compact.htm It's a great setup and plenty of positive comments on here and t'interweb. If nothing happens then keeping them is really not an issue! I would really prefer for the cabs to be collected or I can deliver for a modet contribution to fuel costs so they can be seen and tested by the buyer. Also happy to meet up somewhere. I've recently driven 2 1/2 hours to trade a bass so I'm quite accommodting really. Price wise I'm looking for : Compact £350 and Midget £325. If you would like to relieve me of both ot them then happy to discuss price. Here are some pictures. Let me know if you'd like to see anything in more detail and I'll do my best with my modest photography skills, but I've discovered that it's tricky to photograph black things well. -
Not altogether a bad price when seen next to an MIM Roadworn bass. A lot more individual attention to detail I feel and they don't all look exactly the same

@discreet we're just not appreciated. Maybe we're an acquired taste?

There's a queue you know. You can't just push in like that, it's just not British.

Older Barefaced Compact (15) vs Newer Super Compact (12)
ead replied to Tradfusion's topic in Amps and Cabs
Interesting, going through this very thought process myself if only because I'm playing through PAs mostly and the Compact is more often than not used as a stand for the Midget as a monitor. Alex is recommending an SC as the One Cab To Rule Them All option. -
Good point, well made sir.
-
Does that mean if you wear gloves to play you could legitimately Smell The Glove? On a related theme, I've seen Sandberg talk about steamed oak fretboards. No idea what they're like though, anybody played one?
-
Barge poles come in different sizes?
-
Personally not keen on single cuts. Also white and blue basses; completely irrational I know.

SOLD ACG J-Type 5 String 'Dirty' White Ash SOLD
ead replied to lowregisterhead's topic in Basses For Sale
Lovely. Most of Alan's 5ers are 18mm string spacing. -
I've recently left a band that did 40 or so shows a year to do around one a month. It was becoming too invasive into my family time, plus Mrs ead is getting over cancer atm so I need to be around a lot more. Something like would be fine for me. Aside from the 'gigging' band I also belong to an 3-piece originals band. Definitely hobby/social aspect to it. A couple of rehearsals a month and we'll do a few gigs when we feel like it, although of course venues for original music are getting hard to find around here.

What the G man said ^

Ours evolves constantly. We'll drop stuff, put new tunes in and then resurrect old ones. We often play the same pub 3 or 4 times a year.
-
Keep a weather eye on the For Sale section on here or maybe evilbay. Some little gems do come up. I got a decent P bass item from a seller based in Holland last year, straight fit, no issues.

Just traded a bass with Martin at the usual service station type rendezvous and what a nice guy he is. The bass was exactly as described and if anything I'd say he'd undersold it as it looked better than the description The meet up went entirely to plan and was easy to arrange as he was most helpful and communicative about arrangements. Top bloke, deal in confidence folks, Martin is one of the good guys that makes this place tick
-
Love that.

You can now drag and drop an image into a post. Here's one of my recent speculative creations...

Sorry got this the wrong way round, I was ripped off! Try Jack's Instrument Services for a pickguard. It will still be a significant percentage of the cost of you bass though. That having been said had I had to buy the DP126 set new it would have cost almost the same as the bass.
-
Damn, you paid £10 more than me Did you get the red or the black version? They are great value at this price level. I picked one up the other day and after playing it for a while I decided it was a little too polite and as you say, the J p/up is quiet. So having stuck a set of DiMarzio DP126s in and a proper Kiogon loom and the bass sound has been transformed. Super punchy now with a great tone. Gratuitous pic.:

The configurator is the devil's work. I spend too much time on there imagining more Sandberg basses that I might one day buy! Why not give us some of your options to consider. Is there anything nailed down at all?
