  1. Omnicab sim will do some of what you want, got no compression though.
  2. I think tort looks better with a rosewood board, and pearl goes better with maple. I reckon tort for this too, as it suits the ‘60s control plate - the Pearl looks too modern. Nice bass too!
  3. Yeah, Abe’s the 6 stringer.
  4. Some folks prefer that though; mostly on here too, the filthy deviants. 😄
  5. Oh my! That’s quite, quite disgusting.
  6. Contact Roland Lumby at The Amp Clinic in Salford - valve amp genius. 0161 7878082 or email him at [email protected] He’s also on Facebook at The Amp Clinic.
  7. Got this off the ‘Bay a couple of months ago to experiment with a wah, but I’m ore of an Envelope Filter player, so it’s been sat languishing in a cupboard after a couple of uses. Treadle works identically to the Dunlop, in that the wah automatically disengages when you take your foot off. Adjustable Q and Range controls on the side as well as a boost circuit. The wah mechanism is optical, so no worries about the pot wearing out either.
  8. I done a thing with both of my Jazz basses: Usual J pups with a MM hum bucker in the 'sweet spot' with individual volumes for each pup. Recently I've put both Jazz pups on a stacked knob and put a master tone control on there just to add a bit more functionality. The switch is an on/on/on - enabling individual coils of the MM, or both in parallel for that classic 'Stingray' sound. I was a bit twitchy about routing the bodies, but they turned out great, and sound amazing too!
  9. Shove some Rush in there - pick anything from Hold Your Fire or Power Windows and no one will notice that you haven’t got a guitarist! 😄
  10. Early Cure songs work well as a 3 piece.
  11. Most humbucker manufacturers go with the following convention: red and green - south coil black and white - north coil So it looks like the 2 coils have been wired in series (one coil into the next) to give more output. To get the classic ‘ray sound you’d have both coils running in parallel and a 2 band eq. If you’ve got a battery box in the bass already then it’s fairly simple to achieve this, but if not then it’s a lot more work. To use two volume controls (one for each coil) as a passive arrangement follow standard Jazz bass wiring like this: except that the top pot will have the black wire as the ‘hot’ and the white as ‘ground’ and the middle pot will have red as ‘hot’ and green as ‘ground’ . you’ll probably notice less output like this, which might be why it’s wired in series in the first place...
  12. OK Hive Mind, I'm trying to locate a pair of stacked knobs for my Jazz and would really, really some black plastic ones like this: Everywhere that advertises them seems to be sold out, except for somewhere in America that charges £20 plus £12 P&P for a set. Ki0g0n might know, so I'll PM him, but if anyone knows of anywhere in the UK (or even mainland Europe) that has them then please let me know.
  13. I thought this thread was about the Rolling Stones...
  14. Now redundant Onespot power supply virtually brand new. I bought this last year when my old PSU failed and used it to power my board for about 3 gigs, then I bought a Zoom B3n at the start of this year and it’s been sat in the cupboard since. price includes p&p to mainland UK. Output is 9v ‘standard’ centre negative supply and up to 1.7 A of current, so plenty of juice on tap. Powers up to 8 pedals, not recommended for mixing analogue and digital pedals, but will quite happily power one or the other.
  15. Probably for the best; if you haven't the balls to carry a pink guitar through the town centre then you've got no business playing a ukulele.
  16. I’m rocking the Zoom B3n for the majority of effects; still loving the DHA VT2 for my dirt though.
  17. I had a Blade bass years ago; best Jazz I ever played!
  18. Samson wireless unit for sale due to not really gigging bigger venues anymore. I bought this from Mickeyboro last year at a bargain price of £40 and have been gigging with it since, but due to work commitments I’m scaling back my gig diary. as stated in the original post the battery clip on the transmitter had come off, but a rubber band works fine, and the top 5mm it so on one of the aerials is bent, but works fine. Flipping this for the same bargainous price that I got it for. Probably a couple of quid for p&p to mainland UK. link to original post is here:
  19. Nothing on the Wals that he used for about a decade then?

    Nice! Looks like someone's really thought about the EQ (switchable bell curve on Hi and Low) Compressor on the XLR inputs and a G series Buss compressor too. Still kind of pricey though...
