Up for grabs is a mint Tobias Signature 6 string15 points -
And - other than a bit of invisible fill of one of the knot holes (easy with ebony), the carve is pretty much done on the half fitted so far. It's a very subtle curve but, certainly in real life, transforms it from the 'slab topped' look previously. I'm happy with this. I also drilled the bridge earth wire hole while I could see what I was doing. Oh, and the ebony fretboard blank arrived this morning!7 points

Can't understand why someone would do that and then not put chewing gum in the holes. Amateurs.....6 points

Up for sale is a VERY nice Alembic Europa 5. The previous, and original owner, was a collector and didn't play his collection much. This bass has VERY little sign of use. The bass has a mahogany body (standard) with a quilted maple top (see spec sheet) The neck is an 7 piece multi laminate (upgrade). It has the usual Europa electronics, with volume, pickup balance, filter, and switches for bass and treble boost/cut. The bridge sits in a massive brass block. And she sings! The neck would push the price from Alembic to around $15.000! Comes in original hard bag with papers, and shipping is included. I do apologize for some of the photos. Had some trouble with the light shine back. If you want to talk before buying, I will happily arrange for an online meeting where we can talk and I can play the bass to you.5 points -

Mine’s nothing fancy. Two/three simple signal paths. The zoom is my primary sound. Each bank (a-J) has my basic clean sound in position 1 with the relevant EQ, NR compression etc. Then the remaining three are used for other effects. It mostly stays on bank A where chorus, drive and synth are located as my most used sounds. Everything is then duplicated on the next set of user banks (0-9) but with amp sim for headphone practise. Live I mostly just go from the zoom headphone out to the rolls for my IEMs, taking an aux feed from the desk. This way I have a ‘more me’ control. If I’m using my headrush cabs I go to the eq to cut the very low and very highs, to the preamp strip for volume control and minor tone shaping. (None usually) and then the A/B/Y pedal sends the signal to both cabs. (If I daisy chain them, the second one is noticeably quieter, so this way is better) Finally, if I’m in a rehearsal studio using an amp, or recording, then it’s just straight out the zoom’s L mono out. Simple and not fancy, but I like it.4 points

Should be picking up a VM5 as a trade tomorrow. Super excited. Natural body, pau ferro fingerboard, maple neck. From what I've heard these sound immense and is hopefully a step up from my Cort.4 points

Fender Jazz Bass Guitar - Made In Japan - 1993/1994. £650 Shipped Mainland UK Weight is 4.14kg or 9lb 2oz. Serial number dates to 1993/1994. Good overall condition given the age, getting towards 30 years old. Dings and dents are shown in the photographs, has certainly been a players basses, lots of dings and dents on the body. Some tarnishing on the bridge. Hairline surface mark around the G string Tuner - shown in photograph. Looks much better without the pickguard to my eye. Comes with the 1 ply pickguard - has yellowed with age and looks to have had a sticker on for some time that has left the white patch, again as shown in photos. A great players bass - set up with a nice medium action, still loads of life left in the frets.3 points -

Have owned this for a few years and loved it. It works as it should with no issues. Capable of producing some beautiful tones. Only selling it to fund a new a amp purchase would prefer collection but happy to find a box and ship it at extra cost.3 points -

Up for sale is a gorgeous Alembic Europa 5 fretless. The previous, and original owner, was a collector and didn't play his collection much. This bass has VERY little sign of use, and a store could probably sell it as new. The bass has a mahogany body (standard) with a top that I don't know what is 😬 The neck is an 11 piece multi laminate (upgrade). It has the usual Europa electronics, with volume, pickup balance, filter, and switches for bass and treble boost/cut. The bridge sits in a massive brass block. And she sings! The neck would push the price from Alembic to around $15.000! Comes in original case with some papers, and shipping is included. I do apologize for some of the photos.

Now sold Price dropped to £700. Also open to trade offers (see below) I'm not gigging bass any more so this beauty is sitting unused and that's a shame. I bought it new from Gear4Music in July 2020, The full spec is here but in summary, it's an Indonesian-made model from the Soundgear series and is part of the Premium line finished in Dual Shadow Burst. It has two Nordstrand Big Single pickups, passive/active electrics and the MR5S bridge with 16.5mm spacing. It comes with an Ibanez gig bag. Condition is immaculate, it's super comfortable to play and it sounds...immense. Trades: There’s not a lot I’m after at the moment but I’m open to suggestions. Among the things that might pique my interest are: something Ashdown in the bass centric stuff or, non-bass related, synths or keyboards or even skinny string guitars. Available to try out here on the sunny Lincolnshire coast or I may be able to drop off/meet somewhere within an hour or so. I also come down to London quite regularly so PM me for details. I'd prefer not to post but if there's no other way, I have the original box so I would be prepared to courier at buyer's expense within the UK only to long-standing BC members with (positive) marketplace feedback. Any questions, please ask. Here are some pictures;2 points -

Somehow this reminded me of this Danish bloke who got money from a museum to create a piece of art with that money and then just he delivered an empty frame, saying that "he had no intention of complying with his contract. “The work is that I have taken their money,” he told Danish radio. “It’s not theft. It is breach of contract, and breach of contract is part of the work.” Genius. That's proper (post)punk art! https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/sep/28/danish-artist-delivers-empty-frames-for-84k-fee-as-low-pay-protest2 points

True, but what if you're "just" a bass player and literally 90% of the fx on the unit is aimed at guitars? Personally I find it a chore to have to wade through stuff and audition it on the off chance it might also work well on bass. I love the fact that Zoom are prepared to make some of their pedals tailored to bass with ALL the fx being potentially suitable. Horses for courses, I guess? Both Helix and Zoom sell well, so there's clearly a market for both approaches as we seem to be demonstrating!2 points

Bass Preamp by Ronald Passion is great too but unfortunately it's 32 bits only, if your DAW can handle 32 bits plugins then download it here. https://plugins4free.com/plugin/2171/ Here's another favourite of mine, unfortunately 32 bits too but works very well. https://plugins4free.com/plugin/2255/ Here's the link to the B.O.D https://plugins4free.com/plugin/1321/ And here's a link to Tonelib, this is the last free version they released before going comercial. It has tons of guitar amps and effects and a very nice Ampeg SVT with a couple of cabs. https://plugins4free.com/plugin/3003/ Hope you find something you like and can use.2 points

Indeed. Outside of America the words "Made in the U.S.A." are rarely associated with quality, so it does seem odd that they have hold much a view. American or German car? American or Japanese electronics? American or Italian coffee? German, Japanese and Italian for me please. Anyway, Behringer user here. Always been happy enough for the outlay. DI box, tuner and overdrive, and despite people moaning about the plastic cases (thats why they are so inexpensive) they are extremely robust and surivive night after night of me doing the fandango on them, and im 19 1/2 stones. I recently gave them a clean with baby wipes and the came up like new. I could spend 3 or 4 times as much on Boss gear, for little appreciable performance, sound or durability gains.2 points

Caravan update from last night: turns out the Union Chapel sent out duff info re timing, so thanks to @Mickeyboro for the heads up for actual set times. Excellent show, well surpassing the last time I saw them at the QEH a few years ago. Of course the Pomeroy chap played a blinder, turns out the lad can sing as well! His spot in 9FU was a delight. But it highlights how much I miss Richard Sinclair from the band, so today I'm spinning those awesome pre-Plump albums.2 points

Political comments will be removed, so please refrain from posting any. To be honest, I do think it would be unfair to expect Thomann or any retailer to cover return delivery costs if it's not a faulty item. Can you imagine how much that could cost them? However, surely you could arrange your own courier, they're not insisting on going through them, are they? You can ship to Germany for a lot less than what they're quoting.2 points

Nice. Cort make excellent basses - got a 5 string jazz that I really enjoy. Much advice on here about playing fivers. I did it by starting off playing around the 5th fret. All seemed to fall into place after that (makes playing in F, EB and D an absolute breeze).2 points

Small changes to my board, but I dropped the reverb and just use the spring in the volante. I want to use complex reverb pedals but having been through a load, I'm not sure they ever quite work for me properly in my bands context. Not sure how many people use a treble booster here, but the war pig is brilliant. I used it through a cranked amp the other night and it really was wonderful. Anyway, this will be my board for a while now. I don't use the G3 to its fullest, but it opens the volante up for me and makes transitions really easy. I still kinda feel my boards a bit big in footprint....ah well. Stick for now 🙂2 points
