I owned the one in Aroundabout briefly. Sadly that one had issues but I'd love another one. I had a pearl guard made (possibly this one) and I think it was £40 must. Step. Away from the bass !

I gigged the fna jazzman for years, a great versatil bass that I really miss. A huge range of tones available and very light but tough. Slightly iffy balance on my beer gut though and careful use of EQ required

Def the micro pog, you get octave up and down and its polyphonic so it tracks beautifully even on chords, its also so versatile, makes you sound like an organ etc, one of the best pedals i ever bought!

I had a special trad unit made and oh my god it was amazing, edgy grind at full tilt that just nudged back to proper retro p tone, stunning pickups, stunning service, i have two more en route as we speak for my 'secret project'

The bass is in natural light coloured wood with a rosewood board. Fantastic nick as hes a drummer lol, fully active 2 band eq, two humbuckers wasburn branded. 24 frets, very hi-fi sounding, hardly played ever!, also has the buzz feiten tuning doo da thingy. Its well set up and plays like butter. Aint a fender else id buy it lol!

Pics soon, he's asking £280 he lives in cheltenham. i reckon hed take offers

its a washburn bantam xb400


more pics available on request

Heres the latest version of my gigging board, nothing special but works nicely for me.


Its just practical and functional and easy to control. Nothing boutique or out the ordinary though, and yes i STILL say the zoom 506 is the greatest bass fx unit ever, i have another smaller board and have one on there too! lol

He played it and said some lovely things too :-) got the song name wrong though lol

Nice one boss blow em away

I'm 90% bass player, 10% human, nothing else really interested me. I owned a few strats cause I thought I should but
They just have no draw for me. But basses occupy the larger part of my brain at all times lol

I must admit the amount of cone excursion does worry me, but I've never wanted for volume. I do miss the big stack though, except at load in/outs lol

Tbh I've no idea what they look like and havnt ever listened to em either :-/ but I'm sure you're better off without.

Lol, cool. Turns out our singer Suze did email him four months ago but forgot till now, suddenly makes more sense! Not been on the radio since my Doublecross days.

Dude, really sorry to hear that. It sounds like hopefully a likely blessing though. Good luck as you move on.

cheers dude ;-)

Cheers dude, just got in, four tracks nailed. Used the lm2 from the xlr no probs at all, coupled with my compressor, hartke vxl and noise suppressor I managed to get a cracking, well controlled signal that sounded fab, and crucially sounded like me. Pretty much the same as the live mic sound on the useless wooden toys stuff.
Thanks again for all the help guys.

Awesome!! See that's why I love you guys!!! Thanks loads. I can only assume by turn off the volume he means turn it down.
Bless the lot of ya!!
(I'm off to do more Loungefly songs. We got an email off Rick Wakeman asking if he could play us on his planet rock show which is nice. So we are this and next Sat am apparently.)

Is it safe to run a little mark 2 as a preamp into the studio without speakers connected? I'm pretty sure it is but thought I'd check 1st as I can find it anywhere and have to go in half an hour. !

Lmao :-)

The 2-tek was awesome. Required routing a big chunk out if I recall? Wasn't it endorsed by some chap? Loius someone? Johnson perhaps? I Vaguely it assciate with a Treker bass? (which I'm sure inspired the guy that drew the Warwick katana) but it coulda just been on the same page of a magazine.

I spent a lot of time at Quad doing some session work a few years ago, great place. Im a Leicester lad too, all my life till i moved to Cheltenham just under two years ago.
They say true Leicester folk navigate by telling you which Bruccianis things are near lol!


Oh and i use a full Mark bass rig downsized from a Trace UBER stack too!

Um, its looks cool! i just let my strings wear the grooves, not had a problem in 15 years or so of having a badass on pretty much every jazz ive owned. Only issue i have now is my new squier has the HMV bridge and i want a gold bridge and apparently the badass holes dont line up with the hmv.

Hmm :-(

I don't really have a main bass anymore, just a bunch of jazzes, but what I have done is narrowed things down from wicks, rays, statii and god knows what else to discover I'm most at home on four string, passive jazzes with maple necks.

I'm the same, ' oh God, I love this, it's great, it's perfect, now how can I mess with it!'
:-)

Christ im still wincing from reading that!

I use em a LOT and totally recommend em. They are excellent for the money and seem to last longer than rotos. Downside is they seem to be about two feet too long!!
