Totally. Big round profile like on their 50s p bass. The black one is like a jazz neck.

I have a sunburst Jazz which is older and a real ⚓. The 2 pickup version of the musicman style bass and that's pretty heavy too. Maybe the all black ones are from a new run using lighter materials. I don't know but I have the P Bass and MM bass in the Stealth Black and both are a beautiful weight.

Have been working on an interpretation of Betty Wright, Clean Up Woman, adapting it to suit our style without losing the feel of the original. I fancy a break so going to do an ACDC track from Let There Be Rock today

Best Wireless ‘Bug’ Devices for Home Use
stewblack replied to Deedee's topic in Accessories and Misc
It's the 5.8ghz model, the WS50. Plastic but feels as sturdy as you'd expect. Latency entirely unnoticeable (to me, others latency sensitivity may vary) bought (new) from ebay seller for just over 30 quid, arrived after a few days. I've been using it on and off for three days now and the battery shows no sign of dying. In a direct comparison with a quality cable there was no discernable difference in sound quality. I paired it with a line 6 g75, bug to pedal board, line 6 from pedal board to amp and the latency was there, no question, but the actual playing experience was like using a very, very small amount of echo. Playing live it would be as good as unnoticeable. Again, other people's sensitivity to latency varies. After a lifetime of gigging under all manner of different circumstances I've grown a fairly rugged shell and so minor niggles don't bother me in the least. When you've lost all sound on stage and are playing to what you can make of the front of house until the guys get it sorted, then you can talk about latency. Anyway, my very early take is that this is the best bang for your buck available, simply because it works, costs less than a pack of strings, and above all you are out of the 2.4ghz traffic jam. -
Harley Benton MB-4 Satin Black (REVIEW and SOUND TEST)
stewblack replied to dave84's topic in Bass Guitars
I do have one of the older HB basses and it could do with a bit more salad and a few less beers. *fewer (sorry mum)- 99 replies

Sonuus Wahoo - Could this be the best bass pedal ever? new vids!
stewblack replied to gazgoldstar's topic in Effects
Resurrection time. Nearly a decade on and I've just joined the Wahoo love in. Anyone else still using theirs has any useful tips or tricks.. feel free to share. You will be rewarded with my undying gratitude. -
Meanwhile back on the topic of covers bands

@leftybassman392 sounds like absolute paradise

I try not to moan if I can avoid it but the Super Fuzz (£21 brand new from a shop) can be purchased used, unboxed for £25, £30 and even £50 and £60. I get it, some people are out to make money out of the unwary and some of you will see it as the buyer's responsibility to shop around, but I can't bear it. Blatantly hoping to rip off some poor soul, I don't blame the victim.

I do have vibrato on the multi effect which at present is putting a little upper octave in, I'll give it a try, it's the SF300 on the top of my hitlist right now. Oh and I discovered there's a third wah pedal in the Behringer armoury!
-
I do like a nice wobbly synth I must say!
-
Is it good for bass? Whoops my mistake I thought it was the fuzz!
-
Update: I've had a few problems with this bass. I restored it to active with the original electronics and gold scratchplate. However I have a crackly pot which causes the sound to break up when turned. Given all this I'm going to withdraw the bass until I get it properly up and running and then probably relist it. Thanks for your interest, hopefully I'll be able to relist a fully working bass soon!

I'm in awe of musicians who can play such disparate parts and still keep tight and together.
-
Wonderful!
-
I had both the 3 and the 5 and both were garbage. The Behringer is excellent, so is the tuner and the chorus. The filter and wah pedals work just fine too. In fact it's all perfectly useable. The multi effect is a bit meh, and I need a distortion still. Otherwise I'm nearly good to go.
-
😂😂 (You'd be surprised actually. Some of the discontinued ones are creeping up in price.)
-
Fixed, thank you!
-
I have connected it all back together and apart from a couple of scratchy pots everything appears to work. I can certainly achieve recognisable bass notes from it. However... all is not well. It buzzes. Loudly. But only when I touch the controls. No other metal parts buzz when touched. Any ideas?
-
The Donner one is excellent, pairs really quickly, goes weeks between charges.
-
Aaaaaargh - completely forgot to put the expression pedal on the board 🤦🏼♂️ It's only a small volume drop, not much of a problem and fixed with a boost pedal. In fact the boost gives me more sound sculpting options with the filter. So a behringer expression pedal goes on the list! I will need a new bit of carpet at this rate 🤣
-
It interests me particularly because I used to be so angry all the time, and always with other people refusing to adhere to my point of view. Back then if I accused someone of sitting on the fence it was literally the worst insult I could throw. More recently I've been trying to change the way I live and recognise that what other people think is none of my business. To be accused of being a fence sitter myself is wonderful indication that I am succeeding.

Just as I thought I'd finished my all Bxxxxxxxr board, two more 10 quid specials arrive in the post. So looks like I'll be pulli g it apart again. The ABY isn't working properly anyway. I am running two separate paths, the idea being that the WAH pedal (and/or the filter) are on their own track which I can turn up on the level control of the ABY. This is to combat a palpable volume drop with the filter pedal engaged. Unless I'm missing something I thought the ABY would do this. However volume A increases both A and B, while volume B appears to do llareggub. I was using the EHX tri parallel mixer to solve the levels issue but it spoiled the brand purity of the idea. There is a clean boost on FB market for 25 sobs but I'm maxed out on my effects budget until next month.
