    Interesting input guys, better vintage tone ? what is that - rather subjective i agree. But I can understand why a high mass bridge will anchor the tone and give a clear fundamental that is more distinct. after all you must all agree if you have ever used a tuning fork - strike it, then ground the the end hard down on a solid surface . Hey ! presto you can now hear the note loud and clear. That is what a high mass bridge will do to help your strings pick up the natural tone of your wooden bass and better transfer that signature frequency to the strings that in turn will be amplified via your pick ups. may be this all comes back to the Old tone wood debate, A well constructed bass with seasoned woods, body and neck will resonate better than cheaper cuts. and the high mass bridge is simply confirming - you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear. ?????

    Just adding my +1 for going for a Fender Custom Shop bass. I bought a second hand one about 3 years ago, with all the case candy almost like an ex demo condition, after considering it to be the best option for getting a good player that will hold its value rather than being ripped off by a BITSA bass that may or maynot be what it seems i.e 60's or 70's model dead spots and weighing a ton. I paid £2250 for a 62P SB relic. So saving almost a grand on a new one. Very happy with it nice quarter sawn neck just great all round, now strung with Labella flats 🥰 There have been a few up on here lately nice white one. all the best with your search

    Owen - Feedback

    deepbass5 replied to Owen's topic in Feedback

    I Just purchased a Bravewood - 64 Sonic blue fretless jazz from Owen. with his usual attention to making the process smooth and painless, good communication and well packaged. It arrived covered in scratches and dents and looked like it was found in a canel Just as I had hoped, lovely jubbly 😍

    OK thanks guys - Just naturally taking note when things there to protect you say "Step away from the computer" 😕

    Just to say as I posted a while back and others since then - My new computor is preventing me from accessing Bass Direct due to a Trojan threat. Suggest you guys at BD have a look at what on your site is sounding the alarm bells on peoples security systems. I can access every other bass shop no problem, which may = loss of revenue if a large number of people are having similar problems. its interfering with my dailey browes of your lovely basses 🙁

    There a couple of old threads on this subject worth looking up. As an Electrical engineer and there are a few on here speaking some sense, I would seriously advise you not to take risk and get your gear regularly checked and tested. Its all about due diligence, and certificates should show a history of that equipment having been checked. It is not about buying a machine and pressing a button, Its about inspection and understanding what can go wrong and looking for it. If you are serious about your Band and your performance why risk your lives and potential earnings by calling a venues bluff and possibly getting turned away having traveled miles to get there.

    Always have mids cut on my amp to some degree, i'm just fingers only now but like the cut, loved the Markbass scoop and now the Mesa D800 mid cut. But also have preferred onboard active Para mid controls so i can adjust on the fly. East pre-amps are great for this. But found you will need those mids for outdoor gigs Marques etc, or you run out of steam and just get lost without the punch.

    Or a sound engineer that loves Kick drum

    This may not be a problem with Bass Direct, unless usual delay not communicated. Other shops I have sold through have made it clear that they have legal obligations to the buyer including a cooling off period maybe a week just in case they return it with an issue, then money clearance etc. So even if you see it on their site as sold you may expect a two week wait a least for them to then send you the money. Does this sound like your experience.

    😁 My two Acme lowB series III are front ported 👍, and will remain with me now till the end. But I have previously bought lots a cabs by looks or name and believed the sales hype. but we live and learn.
  14. deepbass5
    Thanks Phil a very thorough explanation
  15. deepbass5
    Its been a while since i read up on cab design, so rather than getting my books out can Bill and or Phil explain about phasing, as I believed that cab design and their porting - length and size (Diameter) of port was so that the air from behind the cone reached our ears in phase with the air from the front. If i am correct how dose this get achieved from both these opposite designs. I am in the Front port camp, pending the reply 😉.

    For some reason Alexa played Every Kind of People straight after Boz Scaggs ??? So will share this version also what a great record and Bass line , I also only just realised from this Andy Fraser wrote it - now that puts a whole new light on it and explains the bass line being so prominent. But just maybe Bob Babbitts creation on the original recording?
  20. deepbass5
    I always come back to Bob, great in the pocket bass lines nothing fancy but a nice change in the sax solo to a semi motown feel. The non video studio version shows the bass line better so worth checking out. David Hungate played with Boz and worth checking his discography quite outstanding.

    I was wondering why I had not seen or heard of a bolt on Mbass, but guess that makes sense to try it on a fretless and see the difference. good luck . Great basses
