  1. This is for a big band gig. Can't be arsed to take my rack for that! Bass, tuner, compressor, amp. and now an Octave. Although I had forgotten the BSW does a great octave. I'll have to dig that out. Only downside is that it eats batteries and for this I want to keep a battery powered board.
  2. I've got a MXR BOD and it definitely doesn't track as well as say a microPog. But the MP sounds more artificial.
  3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47442312
  4. EBMM will want the serial numbers and stuff. They don't like their kit being installed on other basses or bitsas. Saying that - if you can convince them to let you have the new lightweight bridge from the specials (if the screw holes line up) you could save a bit of weight at the same time.
  5. I ran a dual amp rig for about 10 years. I loved it. Then I got old and didn't want to lug about a pair of VBC412 cabs. And now I can do it all in my Helix.
  6. Without me having to read a dozen pages.... is there any agreement as what is the best tracking octave pedal?
  7. Nut is 41.3mm. The 44.5mm is for the 5 string
  8. Nice video! I really must get round to trying a Super P or J at some point. Never heard a bad demo of either.
  9. When I read the title I assumed you had found a page that detailed all the different dimensions of various Fender basses. I was looking forward to nerding out on that. As you were.
  10. Anyone seen the Active Flea out in the wild yet? Im really drawn to it!

    Larry bought my Bass uke. Easy transaction, even if we were both sitting at the same train station waiting for the other to arrive! Good to meet you.
  12. That’s gorgeous!
  13. I’d be surprised if there’s enough margin in them to drop the price by anywhere near a grand.
  14. Sold and gone.
  15. I really like Nordstrands. I've got a set of Big J Blades at the moment. I ordered from Best Bass Gear in the USA as they were cheaper than going direct to Carey, and cheaper than UK prices even with the Vat on the way in.
  16. One of these
  17. Sandberg make stunning basses. I’m a big fan. The relics take a lot of time to get right, and I think Sandberg make the most realistic ones on the market. But at the end of the day it’s just another finish option. Some will pay the extra and some won’t.
  18. The model of the Fender Bassman is great for guitar as you might expect in those amps. Takes pedals well too.
  19. Sold pending collection.
  20. 40-50 songs straight away is bollocks. Agree on a set list for the next couple of gigs and learn them only. Then add to it later at a rate of 1 or 2 songs per gig until you've got them all.
  21. Selling a Yamaha DXR10 powered PA / FRFR speaker with a Stagg cover / gig bag. I've been using this for my Helix, but I've recently got some studio monitors so this is sitting around being a post stand for my helix! It's in excellent condition and has only been out of the house a couple of times. It's frighteningly loud (1100 W) and is a perfect fit for any modern modelling unit, or as a PA cab. I bought this rather than other options because not only was it excellent for guitar use, it was also the best option for bass. Handles a low B (or A) very well indeed. Also comes with the Stagg SPD-10 cover / gigbag / giant handbag (£40 cover) that I've never actually used! Full specs are on the Yamaha site here: https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/proaudio/speakers/dxr/features.html#product-tabs Including the cover I'm looking for £350 collected from Northants.
  22. Power Slinky Bass 5 strings. Never fitted - brand new in the packed. £20 delivered UK
  23. Selling this wonderful tiny instrument. It's 20 inch scale, has a tuner and preamp on board and can sound bang on like a double bass played pizz. They originally came with white Aquila strings, but this has the massively better Thundergut Red set. Better tuning and intonation all round (and about £40 a set!) RRP is £179 + the posh strings (£40) - the cheap strings (-£25) which I don't have anymore - say £135 ono collected from Northants. Would prefer not to ship this as I have nothing to send it in. And here is a video by someone on youtube using original strings
