Storing a neck that is not attached to the bass
ped replied to Jeffskowski's topic in Repairs and Technical
Then maybe a nice pre and a pickup, have it refinished and... -
Looks good so far. Only thing I'd recommend is to help people build trust with you would be a bit more personalisation on the 'about' page. A picture of you with one of the necks, maybe a bit about you having moved to China and so forth helps people realise where you're coming from and the face behind the business. You wouldn't want UK/US/EU customers being put off (wrongly) because they see it's a Chinese company and become wary for whatever reason. It would also be great to see more of the process, workshop, materials etc. In time, testimonials and warranty/support info would be reassuring, too

Eich BC112Pro. It does everything - and if you need more, the DI is great.

You know what this does! Comes with the Roland UM-One interface which works very well. It has velcro on the back but it's in great condition. Cheers- 1 reply

The Bassballs is one of my favourite pedals, and I've had lots of different versions. The sis one of the first Russian editions. Originally in green, the paint switched to black, the foot switch changed to a more modern type, then they changed the switch from the big chunky one here to a more feeble thinner version, then, over time, the boxes got thinner and more matte pain finish. Sound wise, this has a more 'robotic' feel than my first version. It's totally original, works great with battery and power supply. The bypass on these is brilliant; if not true bypass it's as clean as can be. Comes with original pine box and block of foam that they used to hold them in place, and warranty card. The pedal is in great condition; the screws are a bit rough on the surface but they all are! If you open it up you can adjust the two filters (using a flat screwdriver) to create different sounds. Postage included. Pity the post that has to carry this 😆 Cheers ped -
Hi mate yes all original. It’s a really nice colour. All the wear is genuine. -
Tbh the Roland response sounds like they just agreed with you and don't actually know or really care if you can just exchange it. I think if the other patches are OK, the new one will be the same. I'll give mine a go on that patch later and see. Of course in a synth mode if the input isn't triggering the synth properly then it will cut out and sound rubbish, but even if it's dialled in perfectly the synths on it are borderline useless anyway, from memory.

Tbh all the presets are horrible. I just made my own clean patch and never touch the others!
-
Yeah it’ll be the patch. It’s probably gated and trying to track.
-
Trust me, this one isn’t! 🤣
-
Yes there's an app. Once you fire it up you can access the patch settings and levels. It sounds strange that it should be crackling and cutting out, though. Check there's no debris in the headphone jack. It might be damaged, because it definitely shouldn't do that, volume issues aside. Also, I'm pretty sure the display function you describe is normal until you change something in the settings. After a while it'll revert back to the circular pattern presumably to save battery.

Great video! I really enjoyed that. Quite a trip down memory lane - although I just caught the tail end of the 80s, it was the 80s bass mindset that characterised the way I thought about gear for a long time. Glad to see lots of Vigiers in your video.

Check the amplifier settings in the settings. You have output levels there which influence the master volume. I leave my master volume on max and use the amp output setting on my clean patch to get the right level. Same goes for compressor and effects.

Cheers m8 yeah I can't use a plectrum to save my life but I love muting like this, especially with a filter, so you can lift off and let certain notes ring or trigger the filter more than others. That's one of the reasons I really like the lovetone, because it is so responsive to your input and sounds good whether it's sweeping a tiny bit or a lot. Others I have tried could sound indistinct when sweeping low, or produce an uneven response.

TC Spectracomp. I much prefer it to the big box Cali, FEA Opti and many other super expensive alternatives.

Don't worry, he has a crime number

I’m not sure how to but maybe @Woodinblack might know if it’s possible

I don't wear mine, never have! I think it's in a box somewhere but it was only a cheap one made of Tungsten Carbide - my wife doesn't care and I felt it looked weird! I did notice it clacking against the neck of my bass originally, so that's why I took it off. She married a pro bassist so she knew the risks.

Just reopened for you as requested. Cheers 🍻 -
If you're worried about the police getting involved, don't be 🤭

A couple of sound clips (not me playing!!) With flats (this is an almost identical 1970 bass, mine sounds exactly like this) ...and with rounds - pretty funky eh

Hi folks I haven't had this very long but I have found that my Mustang covers similar territory so I don't think I need both. I originally bought this for flatwound strings to get a really nice fundamental tone which this delivers really well. The pickup is all original and has BOTH tone caps installed and untouched, giving a really meaty bottom end. The bass was purchased by its first UK owner in 2000 from New York, and I bought it from him. I have carried out a full setup to get the neck straight (rod works well) and low action. I gave it a clean and nourished the fretboard. I left everything else original - the scratchplate is slightly cracked (they all are!) - it's fine if you're careful when unplugging. Electronics are fantastic - very little noise even with the single coil pickup (maybe because of the tone caps?) It's fitted with LaBella 760FM-S strings (49-109) which feel great. I also have a set of rounds which came on the bass, unsure of the make. I do have a (full sized) hardcase you can have, and even a box, so shipping is an option - but I'd much prefer pickup from York or nearby (happy to travel a bit). It's really hard to capture the colour! I'll try and add some more pictures in different light. Let me know if you have any questions. As Musicmasters go, this is the one to have. Why not treat yourself? Cheers ped

Lovely - what's the little extra bit on the cavity cover? And the extra strap pin - did someone play it upside down? Or maybe with one of those waist straps?
