    You could use the pitch shift function of software like Reaper or Audacity (or another one). I think Audacity can detect the frequency of the file and then you can correct that to the nearest "real" frequency.

    (... which has since been replaced by the Consumer Rights Act... I said I wasn't a lawyer!)

    I'm not a lawyer, but my layman understanding of the Sale of Goods Act is that your grievance is with the seller (Kenny's), not the manufacturer, since it is the seller with whom you made a contract - and they breached it by selling you goods which were not fit for purpose. I've seen good legal advice given at https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceuk

    Can "heft" be captured in a recording, or does it only exist in a live scenario? If the former, any good examples of recordings with and without heft?

    I think you're looking for a PJ bass. Check out the current Yamaha BB series e.g. BB434 (passive) or BB734A (active).

    I've probably misunderstood you, but the changes (i.e. the chords) are clef-agnostic. What do you need to read... the melody?

    Nate Mendel? Based on a 71, with a slimmish neck. https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_nate_mendel_p_bass.htm

    Good stuff. Glad you've found your tone. The Zooms are good units.

    What is the output of your Zoom plugged into?

    Bought a pedal with good communication and arrived safely. Thanks Alex.

    Someone coming to take a look on Thursday, so the bass is currently on hold. I'll post an update after then. Update: the bass is now sold.

    It's a good weight and balance, and I'm sure it's under 9lb. I'm right in the middle of moving house and not sure where my scales have gone, so bear with me - I'll come back with an accurate weight but it might be after the weekend.

    Yes, I would say so. I'm only happy playing P basses and I've been very happy with the Yamahas. Look up some videos on YouTube as that will give a better idea. The pickups are standard sized, so it allows experimentation with different pickups brands, if that's of any interest.
  14. jrixn1
    Good idea! Here is mine (not for sale):

    This one is currently in the marketplace (not mine).

    For sale (no trades) at £300 collected in London or £320 posted. Update: now sold There is a full set of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/G5lq8CY I bought this bass new in November 2018. Full specs here: https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_basses/bb_2017/400_series.html It is a great PJ with excellent fit and finish. I love the pickups and there is a clarity to their sound. Selling due to moving home and reducing number of basses I own. Any speckling or marks in the photos are reflections, as the gloss finish is quite reflective under bright lights and I have a textured ceiling. Please ask me for clarification if you have any concerns or questions. When I bought this bass, there was one slightly wobbly tuning machine. I applied a small amount of superglue which has addressed this issue to my satisfaction. However, I did mention this to the seller who then sent me a replacement machine, which is unopened and included in this sale. The tort pickguard was custom made by Jack's Instrument Services. The original cream one is unused (still with the protective film), and is also included in this sale. Collection from south-west London until the end of February, or north London from March onwards. I can post for £20 within the UK. Sorry, no postage outside of UK. No gig bag included.

    I have some strings here which originally came installed on my 3/4 bass. The 'D' string is 65" and the 'G' string is 62".
  18. jrixn1
    Gary Willis! I'd go for the bass you want + get a new fingerboard installed.

    Not sure that is true bypass - if it were, it would work even if the Zoom was turned off. You can true bypass any pedal with a true bypass looper e.g. http://www.brightonion.co.uk/mini-looper/
  20. jrixn1
    Sounds sensible to me. There isn't really a "wrong" way - if it sounds good, then it's good. The Zoom are not true bypass - I think it's still doing an analogue-digital-analogue conversion even on an empty patch (or the tuner). Opinions differ regarding if it makes an audible difference.
  21. jrixn1
    One of the points of amp/cab emulation is being able to replace/remove the thing you are emulating (i.e. the physical amp/cab). As such, one argument is to remove anything downstream of the Zoom which would modify its tone. For a traditional bass rig, that would mean plugging the Zoom into the "return" of the amp's fx loop, i.e. bypassing the amp's preamp. Taking that thought further, I've found that a powered PA speaker is more neutral than most bass rigs and provides no further colouration.

    Show us your rig!

    You could take two cabs, but only plug one in It does look better, I agree!

    I think the 600W is the power consumption of the amp itself. The power the amp delivers to the speakers is something different (as mentioned, 500W into 4 ohms or 300W into 8). Regarding wiring the cabs in series: will 300W into two cabs (receiving 150W each) sound any louder/better than 500W into one? You said yourself you're running it at lowish volume. Perhaps using just one cab and turning the master up will be easier/sufficient.
  24. jrixn1
    Agree with above. I also have them on a 5-string P. Good price at BassDirect.
  25. jrixn1
    For suggestions of five-string, active basses which come in both fretted and off-the-shelf-fretless: G&L L2500? They don't make the fretless one as a (lower-priced) Tribute, so it'd have to be a USA - not sure of your budget, but I've seen them come up used from time to time around £700-£900. Lots of tonal options and I found the controls easier to manage than (IMHO) the slightly-fiddly Sire.
