    What bass?

    Nearly, not quite

    What bass?

    Fret markers along top edge. Pickups appear to have writing on bottom right of case.

    What bass?

    Don’t think it’s an MTD but the knob layout is similar

    What bass?

    Tricky isn’t it. Reckon it’s something fairly budget given the rig and so on but that’s not meant disrespectfully at all. Wondered about ESP? Not a Sire. Vintage?
  5. I got the fender short scale bag and recently wore my stang all around town for a whole day before a studio sesh in the evening (no way I was leaving it in the car!). Bag was fine, plenty of protection for carrying around and because it’s not a big padded bag it wore like a rucksack, very comfortable. I normally find big gig bags have straps that meet at the top which aren’t comfortable at all.
  6. Superb post Andy! Can you post again showing the long number across the front of the card lol
  7. I think I've got it set in bass mode, mix at 10 o'clock and drive at about 2 o'clock. Palm muting a bit, light touch. I think it works better with a single pickup input. I think it's especially good on the mustang because of the fat fundamental and less overtones.
  8. Ah I did wonder, nope that's the pedal on it's own, into my VB99 which is my audio interface and preamp, which is set pretty flat with a cab sim and slight compressor at the end of the chain
  9. Cheers that was with the 'mix' at 10 O'clock. Seems to be the sweet spot with this bass, so that slaps and pops emerge out of the drive relatively clean. I'll do some other samples with different levels of drive and dynamics.
  10. You can borrow it if you like, I'm not really in a rush to sell it and might not bother actually... let me have your address and I'll send it over
  11. Since listing it I have spent more time with it and cooked up some really nice sounds. It definitely feels more organic and rich than the FI and C4 I had, but the menu system is quite convoluted - it's OK once you're used to it but having not used it for a while I really had to re-learn how it works! Luckily I quite enjoy that sort of thing when I'm in the right mood.
  12. I'd also suggest the Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard - it only does a couple of sounds, but it can sound amazingly synthy. No tracking or latency and because you can blend in some clean mix, and because of the way the filter reacts, you can accentuate certain parts of baselines which poke through the synth sound. It's so natural to play and hugely responsive to touch.. play super light and it's a warm 'whomp', dig in and it splutters. Quick demo here
  13. Any takers at £180? Seems a shame to have this knocking about on it's own!

    BOSS Waza Air Bass.

    They are fine with all my basses except one - my Celinder makes a ticking sound every second or so. Fine if I send the signal from bass to my backbeat then to the sender though. No idea why.
  15. The ultimate single bass case? This super solid case will fit a P, J or MM style instrument. It has a nice squashy handle which is for once located in the right place so the case balances nicely. It's quite heavy but built for life on the road. All aluminium and inside there's a nice soft material. You can see some area in the pics below where glue has been used to stick down a piece of loose material. The lower bout has a sort of L shaped piece of softer foam which means a range of basses will fit securely. I used it with a Stingray, Celinder J and G&L P, all slightly non standard Fender shapes but near enough. I'd much prefer collection from York or nearby. I could post but it might be a bit expensive, I can supply details if you want to get a quote. Cheers ped
  16. There once was a guy called Paul He didn't like the smell of his bass at all He took it pieces and washed of the faeces and now he’s telling us all Damn I re used ‘all’
  17. EHX Qtron+ has a slow attack setting and fx loop, could work well…
  18. This works for older ones https://serial-number-decoder.co.uk/fender/fender.htm
  19. I mean it's obviously a bad one which he/his pal could return for replacement, and some of the others look like they're out of alignment a bit too, but presumably most of them are fine and they sound quite nice if that's your thing. I think he's being a bit sensationalist to gain some traffic, and who can blame him - but it does feel a bit OTT! Are the magnets in the pickup actually bars? if so then a 5 string pickup would have looked better. It does surprise me that there's any latitude for these to come out of the factory 'wrong' - does that in fact show that there's less cookie cutting going on that we think, or do they just keep nudging the router on the way to the break room?
  20. Ah yes I was forgetting that the GK system does COSM modelling with no latency for many of the synth + effect sounds (which I used far more) as well as PCM for some of the more random sounds, which do have some latency.
