    Hi there fellow Low-enders, The other day I got out a bass that's relatively new to me, plugged it in and the sound was not good. That bad it almost sounded like a Musicman!!! It sounded really zingy and clanky. Not good at all. On that day the weather was very wet. The rain was falling in sheets. A day later, better weather and the bass was back to sounding deep and gravelly, just how I like it. Is it just me, my ears, or do others find this too? This isn't the first time and it's not only this one bass either.

    Ohhh... tempting! You might do well to load pics to Photobucket and then paste the links to the thread using the "image" button in the editor window (not available on the mobile version of the interface)

    Id also say MarkBass, but add anther variable on the Barefaced BB idea could be a One10... If a cab is the right route. It's also seriously small in size, like the PJBS are, for use a time home. That's what I use in the lounge at home: LM3 and a One10

    Hello

    Grangur replied to lownote's topic in Introductions

    Hey, Welcome Lownote12, from a fellow SBL Refugee. Thanks for the amp btw. I passed it on for the same price to a needy, young man beginning on bass.

    That's not good with the neck. Sorry to hear that. If the oil doesn't work. try WD40 and try moving it to loosen off, rather than tightening.

    Sounds really interesting. Any chance of some pictures and other information? Video or sound clips would be great too. Please

It's a great piece of kit. It'll also take input from an MP3 player. It's about an hours drive from you too Ohh.... and another one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roland-Cube-CB60XL-Bass-Guitar-Amp-Combo-cb-60xl-/201605829933?hash=item2ef0a4d52d:g:XNgAAOSwepJXY~sv

    [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1466428596' post='3075705'] Yeah it occurred to me it might be radio pickup. Old corroded connections often act as diodes and single coils make great aerials. [/quote] Which is why I suggested eliminating all the other components and get it right down to basics and check out the pup and jack only. If that gives a clean output, then we're safe in saying to ditch the pots and cap. Get a new harness and all will probably be ok. If it's still noisy, then it's probably an earth issue?

    Sorry guys if this offends, but why do folk buy an American bass and expect metric Allen keys to fit? Do you take Euros on holidays in the USA? Why not go down to Wickes and buy a set of metric AND imperial Allen keys? Besides, how will you go about buying your 1/16" Allen key, single key?

    [quote name='TimCook' timestamp='1465222425' post='3066253'] Dropped price to £1400, feel free to get in touch if you've any questions. [/quote] Its too early. I read that a "get a free lunch". Have a bump for a great bass.

    Thanks for posting. This is interesting and has certainly got me thinking.

    That's a good point you have there about the capacitor. Maybe you can test this by having everything connected as it was, but unsolder 1 leg of the capacitor.

    It gets worse when you turn "one" of the volume pots? Does it get worse when you turn the other volume pot as well? I would start by connecting one of the pups straight to the jack; eliminating the pots and the other pup. Then connect the other pup in the same way. This would tell you if the pup has a problem.

    Nice strap

    I had a Wishbass. They do have side dots. I quite enjoyed giving it a refin. The sound from the Kent Armstrong pup was excellent. Mine was different from those linked here. It was heavy.

    Thanks for posting. I just got tickets forhis London gig on 29th June. Saw him in Camden last time he was here. He puts on a great show.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1466236577' post='3074280'] Each to their own The forearm contour does have some very smooth round wear, probably needs roughing up a bit to look more genuine. [/quote] None of it looks genuine. When did you ever see a genuinely worn bass as rough at at edges AND all shiny? I prefer the "cared for" rather than the "abused". Each to their own. Pleased the OP is happy. Good luck

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1466224342' post='3074233'] Despite my original and previous posts, in the past week I've had two more enquirees which involve shipping abroad... I'VE SAID THAT I CAN'T POST!!! Please, stop doing this to yourselves [/quote] I'm looking to sell my 5 string Thumb and I can post. So you can refer them to me.

    [quote name='bassbiscuits' timestamp='1466083050' post='3073250'] Well, i've now got a whole new range of sounds at my fingertips with a hollow body, ranging from soft thunks acoustic bass, to more nasally hollow sounds, and some real fat woody thump. As a result, its made me approach my playing a bit differently when using it. Instead of going for all out thump and power as i normally do, i'm playing a bit more inventively to use the sounds on offer, which are quite distinct from the usual passive solid body tones i'm used to. I guess i'm saying that semi/hollow etc have sounds that aren't in solid basses (and vice versa of course) which are worth exploring. [/quote] Thanks. That's food for thought. That's good.
