  1. I've seen thin wire used for this purpose, coiled helically around the pot shafts.
  2. Another shocker...
  3. How's the B string on this? Been interested in one of these myself but if the B string sounds like a damp fart I'd be a tad annoyed...
  4. Just watched your pedalboard video the other day and thought it was a great setup! Interested to see what way you're going bow. Would love these but not playing enough to justify them. Good luck with your sale!
  5. Wampler 65 Black, EBS Valvedrive... If you're handy with a soldering iron Fuzzdog does the Tone Mender kit which is basically a boost with a Fender tonestack. If you aren't pedal-build friendly they can build it for you for a fee.
  6. Lovely looking bass! Looks like a Euro 5LT in tiger eye. Is it a Darkglass preamp?
  7. Colour me interested @Dood!
  8. Oh man... A custom RST sold through Music Loft in the US... Lovely...
  9. That's a total bargain!
  10. Bad luck Jack! I suppose the full effects won't become clear for some time, but you have 3 other digits to keep you going! Adapt - a few more index finger position shifts and more use of the pinky than you may have had before but reassess the situation when you've healed.

  11. Hmm, liked the look of these, but some of the CST models Bass Direct have just received have the WORST burst paint job I think I've ever seen...
  12. Hornet plugins 80% off with ALMOST80 code until midnight on June 26th
  13. Wish I wasn't potless... I'd have this in a second!
  14. Anyone have an Mbrace walk-up stand attachment thingy they're not using any more?

  15. You like EBS, stick with EBS. The Reidmar looks like a great amp.
  16. A friend who owns a local recording studio had one of these. Brilliant bass. Another one to add to the "if only I had a few quid right now" list...
  17. That's beautiful! Health to enjoy!
  18. Is that like that clear nano gel tape? If so I bought some recently at The Range...
  19. Best budget jazz bass I've had my hands on was a Farida FJB20 (I believe Farida were Dawson's music own brand, sunburst, maple neck with block inlays). Going back a few years but I got to spend some quality time with one as the owner had abused it a bit and dropped/threw it down face first and knocked 2 of the tuners out of the headstock, stripping the screw holes. Wanted that fixed and pickups upgraded at the same time. If you could find one of those I'd heartily recommend it. It didn't need the pickups upgrading to my ears... Beyond that it'd be Sire every day of the week for me on that budget. I haven't tried the v2 versions with the newer "worn in" neck shape, but I can only imagine how nice the neck feels having loved the 5 string V7 I had for a while.
  20. Because I already had them and could get similar sounds with them. The simplification/space element wasn't an issue for me.
  21. Easy pedal to use if you ignore the manual and just watch Amos Heller's video review on Youtube! Sounds really good clean and very easy to set it up to be clean, but I personally went back to separate pedals. I wouldn't put anyone off buying a Photon though, and the Alpha/Omega engine is the nicest drive Darkglass do IMHO.
  22. This is giving me strange feelings in the trouser region... And I really didn't think it would do it for me after seeing a few on TB before... https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2021-usa-spector-ns4-shoreline-ultraviolet/
