My bass runs at 9V and sounds just dandy (to my cloth ears at any rate).
-
Just reacquired my old ACG previously in the caring hands of @Gardenerben from Bill. What a gent and a real pleasure to meet and deal with. Bill was extremely helpful in terms of meeting up (still a long drive for him) and also for being kind enough to sell me my old bass back. Deal with confidence folks 👍

The top banana that is Gary (a credit to his family, the wider community and indeed the UK as a whole) splashed out a considerable some of his hard-earned on some Schaller strap lock items. I am relieved to say that he found them to be of merchantable quality and was patient with me during the whole postal strike debacle causing the delivery time from me posting them to the envelope landing on his mat to be in excess of a typical Covid isolation period. The man is a saint (even though he won't give me one of his Spectors of which he has far too many for one peep).

Nice. I think the plate was an old Stingray item but not 100% on that tbh. Certainly has the look of one. Pickup-wise my neck one is a good couple of mm lower than the bridge item and that does balance out the sound nicely.
-
I'm sure there's a picture of this somewhere. Wouldn't you want the pickup under the part of the string that has the most lateral movement to get the best output? To take an extreme example, if the p/up was under the 12th fret and you played a harmonic note over that 12th fret then the string at that point would be all but stationary and the pickup wouldn't hear much of it at all.
-
Here you go, and using the Mk1 eyeball technique so may be a mm or two out: 12th fret to the centre of the EA part of the pick up - neck - 247mm 12th fret to the centre of the EA part of the pick up - bridge - 373mm
-
No probs, will get back to you later today on this.
-
Do you want me to check the measurements btw?
-
The neck pickup soloed is definitely richer in tone than a normal P bass so your analysis looks spot on to me. Nice to see it represented graphically too. I might well 'steal' that pic
-
Just PMed you.
-
That looks like my old one. I traded for a Sandberg TT4 TSBS as I like the battered look. It has the Black Label p/ups that are rather nice too.
-
Sounds like an alternative version of Another Brick in the Wall. With apologies to Pink Floyd fans everywhere as well as all lyricists.... You don't need no girlie contours You don't need no neck control No body carving in the workshop Luthier leave that bass alone -
What is the weight please? -
This. I have the slightly earlier bass version and a (GB-10 as a spare). Really easy and you can do cool stuff like slow playback down without affecting pitch. They don't come up that often preloved which probably tells you what you need to know. If you're anywhere near Preston happy to lend you the spare one to try out.

Hi folks For sale are these Ernie Ball strings that arrived on a bass I purchased very recently and had been fitted new by the seller. I prefer heavier strings so they came straight off and are available to you good people at a decent saving on the new price (£27 + P&P) Looking for £17.50 inc. P&P to UK mainland This is the spec: https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/string-sets-c865/bass-guitar-c34/ernie-ball-extra-slinky-nickel-wound-40-95-bass-guitar-strings-p954 Here's a hi res pic of the beasties so you can see their condition. -
Responded. -
Hi folks These strings are brand new and unopened. They were bought for a DIngwall 4-string multi-scale bass with the two lower string being extra long scale. Gauges are 43/57/76/100 which give a really nice balanced tension. £25 posted UK mainland please -
Hi folks Clearing out the spares box and came across some strap pins in various colours and a strap fitting set in chrome per the pic below. Hopefully of use to someone here. £10 posted UK mainland

Yes I remember them well. I was volunteering for the charity at the time and saw a few fly through the shops. Foolishly, I never bought one.

This may be my favourite one yet from you know who

Apologies if so. I looked at quite a few topics but didn't see it. -
