BassBus

Been around for some time now but has some good stuff on it. In the early days it was almost dominated by Brian Bromberg's music just because he had so many albums on the system. Now more artists are on it there is much more to listen to.

Scott Devine uses flats on his jazz most of the time. Hang around a bit and I'm sure wateroftyne of these parts will be along with his views. He's a great fan of flats.

I might mock it after 37 years but it got me started on the bass and that has been a passion ever since.

Can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would pay £30 for one of these. I started on something very similar only labeled as "Raver". Anything but. Cost all of £26 in 1977. I think I prefer my Status basses. [size=4] [/size]

As Bloodaxe says. It might also benefit from having a setup to adjust the bow of the neck. I've twweked trus rods before and that removed problems like that. Best take it to a luthier and have them look at it.

Hasn't that turned out nicely. Lucky guy.

You'll get twice the power from your bass with the J-retro. Even with a 9v power supply it has a monstrous sound. Really depends how fond of active circuits you are. I'm biased of course as I have one in my Tokai jazz. I like having the control over the mid frequency as well as cut and boost.

Great for gospel though.

It was the bass on Animals that made make start playing the instrument. Guess I owe him a nod of gratitude.

No. No good. Just brilliant. Love mine. Just the tone I like. And a real backsaver too.

Sometimes a song just sounds best when it is stripped down to the very basics. This is one of them.

I remember you describing one of your other projects as "comedy joinery". More of the same high quality comedy joinery here. Propper job.

Fantastic face wood, and I mean face wood.

The Ziricote is just stunning. The Macasser is a bit strippy for me. But I'm not the one making the decision.

You could always contact the Charities Commision. Registered charities are required to submit their accounts. Does this charity have a registered number? http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/registerhomepage.aspx

It depends on the £/euro exchange. I've always found Sounds Live compare very well with them.

That's the split pickup, don't you know.

Looks like someone has put in a shim. Whoever it was has been sensible and filled the whole neck pocket with that piece of wood. Quite a common job. Generally it allows you to get a much lower action. However, the action on your bass looks higher than the Tyne Bridge. I would take that to a luthier/tech and have a good setup done. That will make a good bass even better. EDIT: Skank beet me to it.

Thank you most kindly Sir.

My arrangement of Frankie Rogers fiddle tune Ookpik Waltz. Tune played on Overwater Scott Devine fretless. Bass line played on Status Electro 2. Hope you like. http://youtu.be/FgeBaxkX5eY

Have a look at RULES AND GUIDELINES ON MARKETPLACE USAGE at the top of the bass guitars for sale section. It's set out quite clearly in big red letters.

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1415991835' post='2605968'] Perhaps I can elevate my ranking to a top poster by being as controversial as possible! Simply a thought....... [/quote] ...and I'm sure you wouldn't be the first to do that.

If your item is less than £50 in value then as far as I remember posting the sale is free. Mods will confirm this. I'm sure the details are in a sticky at the top of the for sale pages.

Sublime. Makes me want to play the DB again.
