  1. Wonderful I absolutely love this
  2. very nice I had a 5 string version for a while - it does take a little bit of figuring out but once done this is the closest thing (at the moment) to 'proper' control of a synth with a bass. The key thing to get your head around imo is that synths work differently to basses so you can't necessarily expect to control them using a bass string and get the same outcome. If you are into or using synths though well worth checking out. Not sure about yours James but mine worked really nicely as a regular bass as well
  3. let’s hope that whoever buys this gives her a good home and doesn’t have to flipper
  4. You can go about your business
  5. Wonderful fretless bass and I think fairly well known This is the more unusual 20th Anniversary model, it has an ash body, Aguilar pickup and EQ (instead of the usual Bartolini) and the sunburst finish which I think Ibanez call tequila sunrise (?) It is a fantastic fretless bass, everything about the design works really well, it's light and resonant and the Aguilar electronics give plenty of musical variation The bass is currently strung with Dadarrio XLs but I do have a set of Dadarrio flats which can be swapped out if preferred. They are older but work really well on the bass Enlisting the help of R2D2 to evidence ownership Any questions let me know!
  6. I've used the Hotone Ampero control really successfully with the FI Four footswitches but will also accept additional TRS switches or EXP controls and then route the midi out to FI. Fully programable over bluetooth with a nice and easy phone app so you can set program changes or CC as you wish
  7. Thanks peter looks like different controls and bridge to the original pics, great bass though
  8. Lovely bass Could you confirm the controls please, with three stacked pots and a passive tone I’m counting one too many? One passive tone per pu? cheers abd
  9. Concur and lots of ka pickups on seis wonderful bass glwts
  10. Sure, here you go: Also I've had a question on the size, the pickups measure 91mm front and 95mm bridge. Both are a fraction under 17mm wide without the screw fixings. Depth required would be anything over 25mm to allow for solder and wiring on the bass. Hope that helps but let me know if you have any other questions gang!
  11. I really do not need this but boy it looks cool in chrome
  12. Good day to you. Bought these ages ago, can't remember when or why although I assume it was to do with bass guitars. I believe they are active pickups but they can be used without battery if required. Greater minds than mine would need to work that out. Most of the packaging refers to Model 9E as you can see on the manual although label for the box shows 9S - you can just about see this in the first photo on the right handside. From a nostagia point of view very nice though, all the original bart diagrams, warranty etc. Most of it was obviously hand drawn back in the day, nice. The pickups have previously been used and the wires cut straight although there is plenty of wire still left so not an issue. Looks like the hot wire for the battery has been extended too. Been sitting on my shelf for too long now, I'm not going to use then so up for grabs. No idea on price but the £60 will include UK postage. I would like a decent (i.e. sturdy and confidence inspiring) stand that will fold down small-ish and take an offset body style bass if you fancy a trade (starfish type thing?)
  13. Nice out of curiosity are these p bass necks or j bass on a p body?
  14. That’s really nice. Did they originally come with emgs? I’m sure I played one similar for a few years back in the 90s
  15. Important to note: if Peter has owned this it will have been impregnated with synth magic, this will not be your average c4!! glwts
  16. That’s a great demo, loving the skanky bass faces!! glwts
  17. It’s the 1/2 inch one matey, you mean diameter of the string post right?
  18. Not sure where to start with this. Let's go with the specs from the glock site: Technical Data: Outfit: 19", 3 rackspaces Built-in depth: 300 mm (12") Output power: 1000 watts @ 2,7 ohms (3x8 ohms), 750 watts @ 4 ohms, 400 watts @ 8 ohms Technology:Solid state opamp stages in the preamp, mosfet poweramp with extra strong power supply unit Inputs:2x 1/4" jacks for instruments, 1/4" jack for Poweramp In, on switachable Controls:Trim-pot for Input B, Gain, Master Volume, DI Level, Effect Level for Loop Equalizer:Bass, Low Mid, Mid, High Mid, Treble, on switchable Effects loops: 1x serial mono, on switchable; 1x parallel adjustable on front, on switchable Outputs:Balanced DI XLR switchable pre/post EQ, adjustable; Line Out 1/4" jack, Tuner Out 1/4" jack, 2xSpeakon Speaker Out Other features:Ground-Lift-switch, footswitch-1/4" jacks for Loop and Tune Dimensions:483 x 132 x 330 mm, 19" x 5.2" x 13" Weight:ca. 18,6 kg; 41 lbs. https://www.glockenklang.de/pdf/en/GL Heart-Rock II Top Technical Data %2B Garantie.pdf Wonderful amp and I don't really have the words to do it justice. Clean, powerful, warm - driving it a little gives great results, and can be felt as well as heard, even at low volumes. I've always found it impressive that as you increase the volume all that changes is the volume, the character and tone of the amp remain the same. Never had that on anything else. The 2.67 ohm load gives you lots of options to - 3 8 ohm cabs if needed. Here is a BC review by TheGreek from a few years back: I've listed the amp before but then changed my mind. I've had quite a few years and many great gigs with it since then but reality is I'm doing less work where I need an amp of this size, most of the time I take my other Glock Blue Sky instead. It's not as epic as the HR2 but it's close enough for me. I guess these days larger heavier amps are no longer in fashion. I do get it and I guess that's the reason I'm now considering moving it on, it sounds epic though and for someone with the right type of work it's an awesome amp. Equal (IMO) to the big Aguilars or Mesas..... Interestingly one also FS down in the Gallery: https://thebassgallery.com/products/glockenklang-heart-rock-2 So there you go. Feel free to get in touch with questions. Collection is best but postage is possible. I have the packaging for the SKB rack case which I think will work well, UK costs don't look excessive from a quick check this morning. Cheers Abd
  19. I’m using these at the mo, they say arco but I think they work really well for jazz pizz….
  20. So now, after many years of wondering, I totally relate to Britney Spears 'Whoops I did it again' Only in my case I didn't play with anyone's heart or get lost in the game, I bought another P bass with the idea of having a rounds and flats P bass then came to the realisation that I like my Ps with flats and my Js with rounds Admittedly there's no natural cadence to that sentence and I'm not even sure Tim Rice could cram it into a tune. Still, the facts are the facts Bought recently from Scooby, here is the original listing: I have made some changes to the bass as follows: Bridge replaced with a Badass 2 SB2 replaced with a Fralin (not overwound) Brown tort plate Smaller concentric knobs for the vol/tone stack If you would prefer the original bridge, knobs and plate I can put them back for you. You're stuck with the Fralin though unless you want to swap that out for a no-name spare P bass pick up I have in my parts drawer.... Btw white pickup covers are an option if you are an exotic person like that The bass itself is a great P bass, does everything a P bass should. It's seen use but is in great condition functionally and aesthetically. I've tried to capture the few marks in the pictures but will list them here for transparency: Neck has previously been fitted to at least one other body - drill holes just visible Small chip out of the headstock on the A tuner post Screw holes from original larger tuners Couple of dinks on the body Small gap and screw hole on the tort plate - the orignal red is a slightly better fit Sounds great. Lots of P variation from the combo of the vol/tone and the tonestyler. The neck however is beautiful - if I'm honest it's what attracted me in the first place, it has a great feel and is gorgeous to look at. Somewhere in between a J and P in terms of dimensions, plays great all the way through. Hope this is helpful info, here's some pics of the bass now: Really does need to be sale only, please do not offer me any more P basses!!!
  21. I've no idea on the pricing of these - is it reasonable? Seeing some offers around this point on ebay but tbh I'd prefer to sell on BC if possible...
