Squiar Rascal arrived today, super happy!10 points

I did some experimenting on my lunch break today. I've been using my GX-100 solely for ages now, but was wondering what some dirt in the loop would be like. Magnificent is the answer... I need to tidy it all up and get a shorter stereo cable for the FV-500H, plus I've got a current double arriving tomorrow to power my GX from the main power supply. Looking forward to testing it at our gig tomorrow!6 points

Another day, another pedalboard iteration. Still not sure if the Black Math will stay on here or go on my mini guitar board. Thinking I’ll rig up the Thru on the Olympic incase I want to run guitar through this board into the Science Mother preamp.6 points

That was what I said after trying the Cort Space out at Bass Direct. One came up on Gumtree for a sum not unadjacent to £400, although I had a 280 mile round trip to pick it up. So today I went on that journey, braving the imbeciles on the M11 and A14, and picked up the black Space. The seller didn't get on with 5-strings, so was selling it after just a month or so. I'll be able to do a proper back to back comparison between the Space and the Ibanez EHB1265MS with added Aguilar pickup goodness.5 points

This thread looks like the right place. I played one of these at BassDirect last year (which sold) and loved it. I have been drooling over this one at Andertons since, and when it went on clearance with nearly 40% off I had to go for it. Arrived and gigged on the same day, no setup required. Sounds 100% what you expect it to.5 points

Hi, I've decided to go for something a little different so my RM800 is available. 800w model. Been used on about 20 gigs per year since I've had this, sometime simply as a preamp/di box where in-ears have been available. Works fine, only used the compressor but drive and octaver sound fine. All eq works as it should. Some minor scuffing on the casing. The bag has lost its zip but ok for carrying around if needed. Hope I don'y regret selling as it's the 3rd Rootmaster I've owned Will be available from midweek this coming week. Looking for £250 incl UK postage.4 points -
Thanks Dave, Here's our version of Ohio. Daryl4 points

Boss RE-202 Space Echo. Boxed. Excellent condition. With power supply. £200 £190 (+£7 postage via special delivery). Delay, Reverb, Saturation. With presets and midi. Bought new in May 2024 and only used at home (for DJ setup with record decks and mixer with fx loop, but I've now got digital decks and mixer that doesn't have fx loop). I have the shop receipt.4 points -
What is this EQ of which you speak? They're flats ... go with the way they sound. 🙂 You'll be hooked for life by the end of the first set4 points

Hello May very well regret this, but this was a 40th birthday gift to myself. And now I have to admit that I just don't play it as much as I thought I would and it is a tad ridiculous that I own this! So reluctantly exploring moving it on. So here goes This is my 1977 Fender USA Mustang Bass. Bought from https://www.vintagerareandretro.co.uk/ about a year ago. Bass is well played, the usual nicks and wear and tear from a bass over 46 years old. The headstock seems to have taken the biggest hits! Volume and tone controls work correctly and as far as I can tell the tuners and bridge are all original. Nice playing bass, just a bit wasted on me Also comes with hardcase Based in London and would be looking for pickup only and of course you are more than welcome to try the bass out Cheers Adam3 points -
but this guy is very nifty. However, he is also accompanied by superb bass playing! Apparently the bass player is Thiago Espírito Santo, not a name I've heard before Old video - 9 years ago ...3 points

Or almost, that is... Just ordered a new Ibanez GSRM20B Mikro Bass in Weathered Black finish from Thomann. Should be here Wednesday or Thursday next week. Just 28.6" scale length, Maple neck, bound Purple Heart (which is almost as hard as and stiffer than Ebony) fretboard, Okoume (which is a cheap alternative to Mahogany, lighter and not as hard, but is supposed to have very similar tonewood qualities, and looks a lot like Mahogany too) body. (following image is from Ibanez's own homepage) Plan on fitting at set of P/J EMG Geezer Butler pickups in it as soon as I get it. I'll update this thread with pictures of the actual bass, when I get it.3 points

In order to hit two birds with one slap. Ánd a 5-string for that one time in a month I crave that ánd the classic-ish stingray sound. Didn’t want to fork out the cash for a true stingray, and didn’t really fancy the standard 5-string Ray cosmetics. This appears to be the perfect blend of 4-string looks, somewhat seventies sound and style and at an affordable price point… picked this one up 2nd hand but defacto new (plastic still on the batter cover) for next to nothing… plays really nice, sounds a bit barky, but need to rewire it to parallel. An absolute boat-anchor though!3 points

Reduced to £300 The not to common AGB205 DVS* which is Ibanezes discontinued 5 string short scale semi acoustic bass, I believe they still do the 4 string, but the 5 strings are uncommon. Good condition, semi acoustic with 2 pickups that look like humbuckers but I dont think they are. Quite bass heavy plugged in, not that loud unplugged but fine for jamming in the room plugged in which is what I got it for. But I am not gigging this and tend to jam with headphones in the room now, so it is not getting used so time to move it on Can be picked up from here, or can meet up within a 50 or so mile region of here, so Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Basingstoke areas. Not so keen on posting as I don't have a hard case for it and it is a bit.. well.. hollow * which stands for deep violin and gold. Not sure how that matches, but there you go, ibanez letters are always a bit random.2 points -
NOW SOLD PRICE DROP (7/8/24) Now considering offers around £5500 Here we have my Lovaszi 'Stella' double bass that I bought new at Laurence Dixon's Bass Place (London) in 2016. This is a very unusual model as (I believe) it is the only bass Andras Lovaszi has put his name to with 'Busetto' corners. The bass is 3/4 size with a 41 inch scale length. The Bass Place website says that the Stella model "is made of maple and spruce aged at least eight years, and carries the top of the range machine heads and endpins from the same German supplier. These have aged varnish." These basses are fully carved by master craftsmen in Hungary then finished with high quality hardware in the UK. I used this bass extensively when I was working as a pro musician in London/SE England and it's an absolutely wonderful instrument. This model has narrow shoulders so the access to the mid/upper range of the bass is fantastic. Would be very suitable for Jazz or tuned to solo tuning. Currently strung with Evah Pirazzi Weich strings which I personally love. Pickup in person from Leeds and I would highly recommend making the trip to try the bass in person. It sounds as good as it looks! Offers around 6000 will be considered. NOW 55002 points -
Awesome EBS head. 600watts of Mosfet muscle with a great pre amp that features a switchable valve drive circuit, a great compressor, a variable bright circuit, deep, switch etc etc... The 'holy grail ' for some ... Happy to pack and post at buyers expense... it's got a bit of weight about it ...2 points -

The VU is doing what it should. Not having owned Ashdown gear for about 15yrs, I must say that I'm liking this head very much. Sounds awesome through the ST.2 points

I defretted a Squier Affinity Strat that I got for very little as the neck was somewhat bowed (Crack Converters staff don't understand truss rods). Must go back over it, the filling I did is pretty horrible.2 points

Update. Having read this thread, Phil Mann has contacted me directly via Faceache. He has arranged a full refund from Nathan at Sushiboxfx on the understanding that when/if the pedal arrives from its Chinese odyssey, I will repay Nathan. To put it bluntly, I am blown away by both Phil’s intervention and Nathan’s trust in doing this. So all’s well that ends well as they say, and hopefully the pedal will eventually show up on this side of the pond after its world tour.2 points

I agree, it's a normal poly coat though so as hardy as any others. It's had a couple of impacts so far and not even a dent.2 points

I asked for advice on buying this guitar and amp on another thread, and appreciate all the advice given. Well, I bought it....my first bass. A squire P bass and a Fender Rumble 25. Stripped it all down last night and cleaned & polished the frets and fretboard, body, chrome hardware. It was a bit too black and white for my liking, so put a matt black vinyl wrap on the pickguard. Put it all back together, and a new set of strings. Well pleased with how it came out. Plays really well, now to try and learn how to play the thing. Couple of before and after pics (hopefully).2 points

Gibson did that to me twice when I tried to buy a Grabber 3 70s Tribute bass... The second one had faulty wiring - buzzed and hummed all over the place. I sent them both back and gave up. Thing gave me zero vibes of the OG G-3 anyway - it was like someone had described the G-3 down the phone.2 points

It would have been perfect, if only they has drilled "cheese" holes into it, for the genuine "rodents at work on the attic" effect. I predict the next trend will be cutting off random parts of the headstock and body, and deep "going nuts with pointy end of the hammer" gouges. Maybe even protruding, broken off or entirely missing bridge, neck pocket, tuner and pickup screws, broken tuners, demagnetized pickups, faulty wiring, and clumsily ripped out, broken and missing frets, from stock.2 points

You are right. What I should have said is that the cover should be either in your genre or arranged/reworked to be in your genre.2 points

I think the point being made is that most of the time the two devices will be less than 40m apart. However if you've only got a 40m leads you'll always be coiling up 40m of cables. If instead you have a selection of 10m and 5m leads you only need to use enough to get from A to B and the rest can stay coiled up in your lead bag, and you'll only need to coil 40m of cable when you actually need 40m of cable. I makes sense to me.2 points

Nothing super crazy, but I wanted to add a dedicated compressor to my Quad Cortex setup. After a lot of hunting and review reading, I narrowed it down to the Empress MK2 Bass, and the Cali76 MK2. The winner was...the Source Audio Atlas! I adore how much control I have in the Neuro app, and the ability to do silly routing options (such as running it as a 1176 at the start of my signal chain, and also an LA2A at the end) blows my mind. Great pedal, well worth the money.2 points

IME, unless you are out in the sticks playing church halls only, as an originals band you don't need a PA. Almost everywhere I've played for the last 30 years has had an in-house PA system, and those few venues that didn't were places that didn't normally put on live music and we would hire a PA specifically for the gig. The only originals bands I've been in that owned any sort of "PA" were those that also had permanent rehearsal spaces and it was strictly for use in there. On the other hand the lack of a drum kit is probably more of an obstacle. I assume their drummer has at least "breakables"?2 points

Sold my Ampeg cab today and the fella came to try it out equipped with a Sandberg California II VS4 I believe it was and it sounded incredible. Never seen or heard one in person before and now I'm currently trying to find one to order, had a play on the one today and i'm completely sold!2 points

I disagree with the "stay in your genre" bit - we do guitar based songs with no guitars and drag them kicking and screaming into our world. Goes down well, familiar but different. Variants of "you guys do a kickass version of X" have been said to us.2 points

I've put the Meatball on my pedalboard (it JUST fits!) so I can do the final phase of testing against my Mutron. I might need to move the tuner sideways a bit but I stuck it down with that ridiculously strong dual lock and might leave that fight for another day P.S I sometimes like an octave or fuzz in the Meatball loop - I tend to use an OC2 but I might make another board just for the loop with another fuzz and phaser on it too.2 points
