Glad you like the bass! What’s your serial number? Got any more pics? These are really unique basses with lots of unique features that just work together so nicely to produce something really special. As I said in our PMs, the range of sounds available far exceed what I thought possible with two pickups so close together. And the clarity and even definition of both together sounds really smooth and powerful, like my friend said “like a brick covered in velvet” @LeftyJ you could replace the bridge no problem, the older basses had the excellent Schaller 3D bridge. I’m not actually a fan of the Kahler as I found the saddle position I wanted was always half a turn between the groove being lined up in the string direction (the saddles screw up and down like grub screws) - fine if it works out but awkward if not. In the end I filed the saddle down to taste.

You bloody love it

Reverb is one of my favourite effects and I use it all the time when playing at home, so much so that when I play bass through my headphones without reverb sounds really weird. I agree a reverb with a high and low cutoff can be useful - I actually like adding it to the lows and cutting the highs for some applications, it creates a nice warm soundscape. I haven't ever used it live.

Love reverb. Try the TC Electronic Hall Of Fame (they do a stereo version)

He has now

Done it a few times. Last time it arrived after a week or so, though the tracking said it hadn’t even been picked up yet. There was no duty to pay - until a bill arrived about three months later!! I should have moved. Fwiw I booked the courier myself with TNT through Parcel2go

Bon jaw! Your English is better than my French!

Its a shame because I like the form factor - plugging right into the bass is a neat idea (as are the Vox Amphone headphones) but the unit is seriously hissy and poor build quality, too.

Yeah the B1on, little one without the volume pedal.

Forgot to add them to my ‘tried, gave up’ list. Tried the HD2 from IK and it had latency that was really off putting. Then I tried the original iRig belonging to a friend, it was noisy and latent. I know some like them but unless it’s just me who suffers from latency issues, I really don’t know how people stand it. Suppose it might be ok live but really noticeable through headphones.

Yes you can. Also it has a built in looper and drum patterns.

I’ll beat everyone else to it by suggesting the Zoom B1on. I got mine here for £25. It does everything. Sounds fantastic, battery lasts ages - previously I had a Vox which was terrible, a Pandora that I liked but it went pop and a DI pedal with headphone output. The zoom is by far the best of them all.

Be careful not to scratch the plastic surround with the foil method.

Great!! See you there, and welcome to the site.

Well, the box is still there...

Basschat code? What did it say when you tried?

I think it’s about the same (530mm ish)

Looks really good for the price. I keep looking at them and really fancy one. How’s the preamp? Is it slightly larger body than a standard bass uke? It looks a bit bigger behind the bridge, though I notice the scale length is the same. I think it looks better balanced actually.

I played a Laka fretless one at the bash and really liked it. I see what you mean abiut the frets not impacting the sound so much but for me the fretless model has more ‘freedom’ and has a smoother sound. Where are you going to try them? I’ve been looking for a fretless one in darker coloured wood and this one seems the best value so far https://www.musiccentre.co.uk/product/eko-duo-ukubass-fretless-electro-ukulele-bass Here’s the Laka - I’ll probably get one of these as it played really nicely and Gear4Music are local https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Laka-VUB60EA-Electro-Acoustic-Bass-Ukulele-Mahogany/1LLY

Gear4music stock Lava Cables, might be worth a look

Everyone’s just being more inclusive

Don’t blame you, I love EICH/Tecamp stuff. I’m also rather partial to a cloth grille

Here’s his ad. Lovely bass!
