    One for flats and one for rounds?

    Ah wow amazing! I wonder why the preference for a '74, not sure what changed between 71-74. Good to know Matt is a mustang fan though, all the best people are

    Probably due to shrinkage. Got any pics of the whole bass?

    Lads, yea or nay?

    G&LBTQIA - whatever next!

    Was it frozen solid? Can you tell us what/where the bass was just in case one of us buys it?

    He's good isn't he? (Andy, not referring to myself in third person!) I do have a claim of it before somewhere, it sounded very similar to be honest - the aim was to keep the 'mini P' character and I found the thunderbird pickup with one hot coil was a great mimic for the P sound whilst also filling the existing cavity/cutout. Now I've had time to get properly cork sniffer with the pickups I'm hearing a really nice almost stingray like top end from the pickup which adds a lot of definition.

    I was interested until I realised the hex saddles don’t connect to a 13 pin output like their Synth Access models did

    Done mate, lovely collection 🤩

    I got the fx59 back from fxpedalmodsuk https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100065048851696 who were fantastic. They’ve added a clean blend (not a straightforward mod to do because of the type of circuit annd because I still need room for an battery) and pink led to the pedal. I’ll give it a try later I put some new knobs on it because it wasn’t bright enough already

    Just adding these pics to keep the story going. Just playing ahead of us now

    I think the 80ohm are a nice balance between flattering the sound without going too far, and they have a really wide soundstage so they're excellent for playing bass along to a track. It never sounds crowded.

    Yeah I used to export the audio and sync in iMovie which was a real pain. But I tried dragging the video into GarageBand and it worked!! Syncing is much easier as you’re able to drag more accurately. Then you export as a video. I looked it up and it’s for adding soundtracks to films so it makes sense. Mine is an old version of GarageBand too.

    Thanks 😊 I definitely cringe at some of the mistakes but I’ve now found an awesome way to record using the Moises app to remove bass from the source track and use my work laptop for the video, then sync in GarageBand (which I didn’t realise let you add video!)

    I've thrown some Elixir rounds on this thing and it absolutely works. Here's a small clip to demo the sounds (80% neck, both, bridge, neck again, then I turned the Mutron on for a laugh). The tone is about halfway for most of the video - it has a really useful range and mixed with the different pickup flavours it means I have loads of options. It has such a tight and full bottom end, even being short scale and in drop D!

    That's great - I saw another Muff mod where someone put the extra pedal INSIDE the case of the Big muff, with the bypass switch poking through a new hole in the housing. If you've ever opened up one of those muffs there's basically nowt in the bottom. I also saw a Mini Qtron where someone folded the bottom section up so it was half the size. Looked pretty cool!

    I like the battery block. The plastic swing out battery cages you normally find never seem at home on an expensive bass imo. This looks far more robust.

    I’ve got the U500 combo and 250act extension if that’s any help. Briefly because I’m pissed I’d say I’m super happy with the amp, especially the built in compressor and range of sounds available, even if I tend to use ‘classic’ and ‘linear’ modes mostly. My last amp was a Mesa 400+ and matching cab and the Blackstar gives me just as beef.

    Normally something of that vintage moves from Tyneside TO Bermuda, but I bet the bass is happy to be in the hands of a busy and talented player such as your good self! Lovey thing, sounds great - a real 'thumbprint' bass!

    I’m going to stick my neck out here and say I don’t like it and don’t get it! Also every demo makes the bass super anaemic and thin before the pedal is turned on - well what were you doing before when you played that bass to demo some other pedal where it sounded perfect? Even so I always think the bypassed sound is much better but these boutique fizzy preamp pedals seem to be all the rage at the moment. Just not for me I guess.

    Congrats on what looks like a brilliant bash!
  21. ped
    Yeah super cool. Did you order them direct or second hand? Didn’t know if they have a UK dealer. Interesting pickup placement in the new one, I’ll have to check out some sounds on their website 👍🏼

    I’m getting tempted to get a JMJ as a backup for my 66. For keeping flats on. Now that the 66 has rounds I think they’re staying, it just growls and has so much punch, and with the pickups blended it has a really sweet J bass slap sound which I couldn’t believe came from this bass! I think Gear4music sell the JMJ but not sure if you can order one in to try, or a couple, and choose the best.. would be nice to do that if poss. Sounds like they’re pretty consistent through although I gather there were some issues with incorrectly offset (or not) saddles early on, with some reporting their bridge being slightly off centre to compensate.

    Probably easier than now. A few letters back and forth, an cheque and done. And I bet you could drive up to the plane on the runway to collect it!

    I’ve just checked that out and it looks like it does a similar thing. Speaking of GitHub I’ve just downloaded a really good YT Music app someone made (as there’s no MacOS app). Works really well and has some useful plugins.

    Yeah same but then again in a few years there’ll probably be a free alternative.
