I recently bought a bass from Wunjo and had the best buying experience I've ever had. The guys were helpful and 'appropriately attentive' when I first visited; did me a great deal when I called to order a similar model to one I tried (offering alternatives on loan when the order time was longer than expected too - I didn't need to take up the offer, but appreciated what is surely beyond the call of duty) and specific delivery requirements were no trouble. After disappointing shenanigans with various shops and online retailers in recent years, this was a breath of fresh air - I felt looked after by real people, who cared about their customers. I will go out of my way (I live in Manchester) to give them my custom again in the future. All in all, a confidence-restoring experience with a real music shop. Cheers Wunjo! Tobie3 points

"What do we want?" "Anarchy!" "When do we want it?" "soon really but not until the bass player has negotiated a reasonable price for a suitable venue where the safety of the site has been confirmed and a full risk assessment and method statement are completed, yeah!"3 points

I traded to this at the SW Bass Bash. It appears to be 93/94 MIJ without the Silver Series decal and has had a Bassass II added. Not come across this shade Blue before but such a nice Bass, weighs in at just under 4kg and has nice punchy pick-ups and 40mm nut width. It came with a different scratch plate and creme covers, swapping them out I noticed there was a brass plate below the pickups in the cavity. Not an expert on early Squiers so if anyone can help with some background...?2 points

Keep the Wal and buy a Harley Benton shorty as a second bass and modify as you go along. More fun and you don't need to feel bad about selling the bass. Second option sell the bass and give Alan at ACG a ring and discuss your requirements with him.2 points

I'd say it was better than using standard foam tips but not as good as proper custom moulds. That said I was also impressed with the comply t600 foam tips. My wife helped me do the diy moulds and that made life easier. The best bit is that as soon the second ear was filled with putty I couldn't hear a word she was saying for 10 mins.2 points

Just got back from rehearsals, so these are first impressions only., From the moment I plugged it in everything sounded just a bit better. It was still my tone, only with a bit more definition and punch. It might be the fact that I had the comp on, but whatever it was, I liked it a lot. The EQ is pretty subtle, but it seems to be just at the right frequencies. Itโs no Q/strip, but it more versatile than my BDDI and VTBass. The drive section wasnโt quite as positive. Kicking in the stock tome print I lost the fullness and low end. Beaming the Natural tone print resulted in a nicer OD, but nowhere near as nice as the Aftershock. In fact the AS sounded really nice after the Spectrdarive, better than it has ever been. The two work really., really well. The Spectrcomp sounds exactly like I remember from the standalone, so no complaints there, and its nice to have it integrated. The โissueโ I have with it though, is, like the Q/strip, its not going to colour my tone like Iโm used to with the BDDI etc. This isnโt a bad thing as such, nor a negative, just that I will still need to use other boxes to add the colour. Tonight ill test out thei headphone side, cant wait as that was the original reason for getting it.2 points

All I can tell you is that it was bought new in Germany, before its owner (my uncle) went to live in the States in around 1996! The BadAss was fitted 10 yrs later when my first go at a build was broken down for parts (a sad day). It looks better with the original bits back on - what was I thinking?!?! Pretty sure I put the serial number in to an online decoder years ago and it told me the factory it was built in (canโt remember now though) so maybe try that too? Glad your happy with it! Iโve started concocting all sorts of strange mod ideas for the tele!1 point

@TPJ and @dand666 - There's always Null audio in Singapore, they do get mentioned on headfi from time to time, but I have no direct experience of their reshells. https://www.null-audio.com/collections/earphone-remolding-service Just looked into the cost - nominally about ยฃ135 with postage and import on costs. You'll probably get it around the ยฃ200 mark door to door with all the extra costs, so comparable to what inearz was doing it for.1 point

Sorry I can't resist and it's probably not what you want to hear. Why Class AB? you probably think there is a 'digital' sound? Honestly you won't be able to hear a difference, all else being equal. Your bass amp is made of three parts, a pre amp that shapes the sound, the power amp stage that makes the watts and a power supply that... supplies the power for the amp. The two things that primarilydetermine the sound of the amp at high power are the pre amp shaping and whether the power supply is adequate for the job. I'm not telling you all amps are equal, just that the class of the power amp isn't the critical factor. You specify a compact, and I'm assuming lightweight amp. They only achieve this if they have a switch mode power supply. Anything with a big and heavy old style copper wire transformer is going to be big and heavy by definition. If you have a lightweight switch mode power supply then you might as well have an efficient switch mode amplifier. If there was a difference in heft (there I said it) between the old heavy amps and the new switch mode amps a lot of that is down to poorer power supplies than the more mature designs of the old class AB amps. There are later models of class D with decent supplies. I don't know of anything with an old heavy power supply and a class AB power amp but maybe someone else will come along with a suggestion. It doesn't matter, audition a range of amps, if the only ones that sound the way you want are heavyweights you'll have to suck up the job of carrying them but I think you should give the newer amps an audition. Just think, if you play a big venue your amp is just a stage monitor, the bass you hear at big concerts comes from the PA and that will certainly be Class D. You'll never get that big a sound with your bass stack. Actually I've just noticed you wanted to bypass the pre amp, why not just buy a PA amp, run it straight off whatever you are already using, your sound but louder. Cheaper than a bass amp with a pre amp you don't want to use anyway.1 point

The ones fitted on your bass are the first passive generation EMG's, only the preamp is active, otherwise the passive switching wouldn't work. The real EMG's are active pickups only working with a battery so passive switching is here impossible. Some years ago, EMG put the HZ (high impedance) series on the market, which is a recreation of your passive ones. Loop the loop. Clearer now ?1 point

A fantastic and very versatile multi FX. At its core it is a dynamic flanger, a double phaser (one dynamic, blended with an lfo based one) and a step filter. Internally you can switch this to all be manual rather than dynamic, so you can get regular flanger, phaser and envelope filter sounds. ยฃSOLD Inc UK postage, PayPal only please - gift preferred1 point

Greta Van Fleet donโt even have a full album out yet. They have their first four track EP and an extended EP (From the ๐ฅ). Yes, they do demonstrate large influence from Led Zep, but so have others before them so for me itโs a non issue. If you like the music why does it matter who they sound like anyway?! As long as they donโt peddle someone elseโs music as their own, which they have not done.1 point

Iโd suggest something like this: https://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_multimix_4usb.htm decent build quality and a usb that wonโt be too latent, youโll need a mini jack to 2x1/4โ cable for your iPad.1 point
