That Jazz bass sounds good though...
-
Found this at the back of a cupboard recently, I’d forgotten it was still here! Bumperoo -
Tiny but very funky Envelope Filter that punches way above its weight. Had it for about 3 weeks, so it’s virtually brand new, just been used for rehearsals so has Velcro on the back. I’ll cover p&p to mainland UK addresses. sold. -
Bought a pedal from Nigel and couldn’t be happier; quick service and great comms from start to finish.

Oh my 😍

The basses are ‘no great shakes’, but some of the telecasters look quite tasty...

Nobody? 😪

Found this diagram on TalkBass; it's a fairly straightforward affair. If you don't fancy doing it yourself then I'd have a word with BC member Kiog0n who does custom wiring stuff.

Series is probably the way to go on this; the distance between the pickups on a Jazz causes the famous (and wonderful) Jazz bass tone, as one magnetic field interferes with the other they cancel each other’s midrange frequencies out.

Gone over a year without swapping in and out basses.

I’m down to 3 now; fretted and fretless Jazzes and a ‘beater’ P bass for sweaty rock gigs... ... for now. -
I’ve been having noise issues with my VT2 for a couple of weeks and finally opened it up today - I’ve got a stray black wire running from the input socket to fresh air at the other. An educated guess would be that it’s a ground wire, but I’d rather not chance it. What I’d like is for a fellow VT2 owner to photograph the internal wiring on the board with the pots mounted to it (there are 2 inside, stacked on top of another). Obviously it’s a big ask, and I’ll completely understand folks not wanting to take theirs apart, but if someone wants to take pity of me then I’d be eternally grateful .

I absolutely LOVE my DHA VT2, but am having some noise issues. What power supplies are people using to power theirs, and are they noisy?
-
Picked one up for less than £30 brand new last week and it’s a really good OC2 soundalike. Very impressed!
-
I fancy changing the look of my ‘beater’ bass, it’s an ash body with a rosewood board and currently sports a white scratchplate. I really fancy a tort one, but the control cavity is a little over size, does anyone know where I can buy a tort plate that’s on the larger size?
-
I’m guessing it can’t be powered from phantom power... 👻⚡️
-
Oh my god!! That’s beautiful!!!

I’ve not tried all of them, but the SWR amps have a ‘baked in’ mid scoop (aural exciter) that can’t be turned off, only minimised by turning the knob all the way down. It can be compensated for by using the eq though. In their defence they’re *really* versatile amps. The Studio 220 was my favourite, but was a little underpowered for the band’s I was playing in. I sold mine and bought an SM400. The Trace stuff is great, but again might need some PA support when in a full band on a large stage.

Had this for a couple of months (bought from another BCer) thinking I could replace all of my effects with a single unit, but as good as it is it just can’t replace my DHA VT2, so I’m not really using it. Comes with box, instructions and power supply. Velcro on the bottom for using on a pedal board but otherwise in excellent condition. Price includes p&p to mainland UK. SOLD
-
Have you updated ti recently? I struggled to get a good chorus effect until I downloaded the extra patches and found what I was looking for.
-
Fair point, but it’s the best half!

I like a bit of bite from my Jazz so I went for the Ernie Ball Cobalts - perfect mix of thump and bite when I dig in.
