  1. Past hour
  2. I'm looking to sell these items together as one rig.
  3. For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components. This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC. Specs: Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire) Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls) Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. Includes a finger ramp (easily removable – attached with double-sided tape). Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre. Reason for Sale: Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves. Price: £800 (sensible offers considered) Cost about £1500 to put together. Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.

  6. Yes, but it is me! Didn't formerly work for metallica did he? Well, your option is to walk if you can't persuade him to change, telling him it doesn't seem like it is worth being there when you are turned down. Alternataively when he turns you down, stop playing and see if anyone notices.

  8. Yes. It's all working and as it should be.
  9. Question. How are people measuring whether an amp is coloured or not? Are you using your ears and comparing against a DI signal, or are you looking at response plots?
  10. That is ONLY factor here..... The other factor being what do the audiences think...?
  11. MFD "J" does not equal J...
  12. Me too, I think we should have both got a hall pass. If you do fail, but your purchase isn’t described as nice, you should get a pardon, Trump-style 👍
  13. It's a filthy spitting distortion.
  14. Great advice ^^ When I was mixing FOH back in the dark ages I pretty much always used headphones on the vocals, and any other channels that I was having problems with. It gives you the best starting point and helps you 'understand' the voices. With the XR18 you have the possibility of recording whole gigs giving you access to both the isolated vocals and the rest of the band. I've never found a vocalist who can really give their gig voice on demand so this is a way of collecting the vocals as they are in a real life situation and you can play them back over and over. Remember that just like any instrument the equalisation that sounds good isolated is often not great when mixed in with the band at a gig.. The bass isn't the only instrument that sounds best isolated when it has a mid scoop, the opposite of what you need at a gig.
  15. Yep you're right- it's a compound neck. Thanks
  16. Darkglass Vintage Deluxe- used but good condition. Works perfectly but no longer needed. Fre
  17. Worst rattle/buzz I ever had was on a 1965 Precision, where it sounded as if the trussrod was about to leap clean out of the bass every time I played a fretted G#. Spent ages fiddling and faffing with everything nearby until I gave up and took it to a luthier. He put a drop of superglue on the E-string tuner, where the cloverleaf meets the shaft. End of.

  21. Too few strings and not enough knobs is something we have all been through. I have always hankered after active fivers but two or more basses, great in there own right have been moved on and my last purchase was a P. P/Js have always attracted me but the Jazz pup always sound weak/thin and even adding a bit of blend sounds great at home but sucks, literally, in the mix.
  22. Cheers R I tried couldn't do it and so replaced it with another ad. Just trying to figure out how to delete/withdraw this one.

  24. I pulled this as the new price has dropped below £500 now. However, on reflection I think £600 for the amp in mint condition, plus the bluetooth adapter, footswitch and carry bag is still a good deal, so it's back up again.
  25. Maybe, its this or the EBS
