Yes and if I turn slightly. I remember in an old house my bass amp would make a whining noise when the light in the lounge was on, the room next door. Old wiring I guess.

It wasn’t a comment about this bass specifically just a general observation.

L@@k!! RARE! (Add £1k to price)

Definitely not related to any other equipment interference? I find my bass uke hisses a bit when my fluorescent desk lamp is on.

Maybe a PM would have been more polite -
Hi there. Thanks for supporting the site. It looks like the renewal invoice was issued 13 hours ago so you might have an email to alert that payment will be taken. If you’d prefer to do it now manually please use this link and there should be a ‘renew now/pay now’ button https://www.basschat.co.uk/clients/purchases/ Cheers! ped

That's right, thanks @Reggaebass you can find it there or by clicking here Cheers!

Lovely stuff.

What about command strips on the back of the bass. Invisible. Quick. Easy. Dangerous.
-
You know the ones that were on my Vigier you briefly played - they’re over two years old!! Love the strings and Elixir are good friends of the forum too.

That one needs to go in the 'Famous Basschatter Basses' thread! How long have you had that now?

Here's your answer Cheers https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/387908-basschat-app/?do=findComment&comment=3940044

She’s toast. Thanks. Normally just a spambot she isn’t a real person.

😂 I'm starting to think I don't want to sell it now!! Not sure of the measurements actually, but I think the spacing is 19mm at the bridge and 40mm at the nut, specs which Ken has stuck with up until now. 34" scale. -
It's unique for several reasons - the early ones varied quite a lot as you know, with different pickup spacings, pickup types and construction. This is one of the earliest with the now traditional double near the bridge configuration and is unusual in that the bass has a dark bookmatched top. The BT shape remains to my mind the classic Smith design. As said above, I firmly believe such a great example of such a pivotal bass will grow in value over time, especially as Ken is changing his business setup and, although things have always been outsourced to some extent, I don't know what'll happen when Ken retires. So I'm in no rush to sell, and quite happy to keep it but if another player wants a unique piece of history and a thoroughly modern and fantastically constructed and sounding bass for less than a new one - let me know

Bass sounds great in that tune. Fits the whole sound perfectly IMO. -
The best I found was the dark green sparkle version. With a limiter afterwards to stop it going too deep - and preferably in a loop with some clean blend. Oh and a volume boost too! But the FX25 has a unique squelch when the input overdrives the pedal which I love. Nearly everything else I’ve tried produces a nasty ‘whistle’ rather than a squelchy fart. I also found it sounded ace with one bass and terrible with others. Best with single pickup basses, and funnily enough works great with a stingray!

I used to crank up the little vocal/bass solo bridge in ‘Freak On a Leash’ all the time. I used to wonder how he got that sound. But then at the same time I’d go nuts for some grand funk railroad. It was a confusing time with hair growing in new places and I didn’t have Basschat to turn to so I had to kill/downtune to A to satisfy my internal demons. -

Tbh he was one of my first influences. I actually really like his percussive technique and think his tone really works in Korn, with that clinky treble overriding everything else, cutting through quite a thick mix. Probably one of the first bass players I ‘noticed’ along with Mike Porcaro 👍🏼 -
Think it was just the fx25 not the later 25b. I’ve had loads of fx25s and some of them sounded bang on but they vary a lot!

Hey come on if everyone did that we’d have no Basschat!! On topic I must admit to feeling a unique sense of.. I’m not sure what the word is... comfort? - when playing a cheaper instrument and it sounding and feeling great. Conversely if I have an off day and I’m playing a 3K bass I kind of feel like I’m not good enough for the bass! One of the reasons I love my #1 bass is that it cost me relatively little, it’s been modified a lot over a fifteen year period and it’s seen off everything else I’ve had from the best regarded manufacturers on earth, so it makes me smile to know it owes me very little.

I don't think a pinned thread will work - people come and go, and it'll end up being inaccurate quite quickly, unless anyone who wanted to be involved updated you every month or so. Also pinning threads is the number one way to make sure it gets overlooked. I think the best method would be a forum where people wanting help post the from>to in the topic title and then leave it to people to work it out from there on a case by case basis.

Last bump at £2500 or it goes back in the case for me to rediscover in a few years time

Very tempting use of company funds...
