ped

Black and maple

It’s on its way!

Missed that! Fair price I think given what they do and how well they’ll do it (I hope!)

My dream has come true - I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair. Released today and hopefully available by Xmas. https://www.boss.info/global/products/waza-air_bass/

Thanks very much

I like the look of the One Control Dimension pedal. I have a fetish for tiny pedals that take a battery 😆

Try the EWS stormy bass drive

Because it’s £20 😂 I could maybe do a £20 donation with supporting status but it wouldn’t renew and would be a pain to organise ‘back stage’

You can be a supporting member and just not use the marketplace. Separating them into two products would be more complicated

The seller has been pretty slow with sorting shipping and packing (although he's been very busy and I'm not in any rush) - but I think it'll be posted this weekend. The neck looks like it's got a similar 'golden' colour to my SB1, I guess from the varnish over time (though SB1 is only 1991). Well if I hate it then you can buy this one

Hi there, can you email us at the link at the bottom of the page? Thanks

We’ll check if a wreath or similar would be ok, great idea Mick. I bet he’d have loved a bass shaped one (graphite reinforced)

Isn’t it incredible how many people can feel the good vibes of a single person through our little community. Buying and selling here has always been a pleasure because it takes trust, and more often than not leads to friendship. Martin’s family are truly humbled by the fantastic showing of memories and tributes posted here. What an awesome endorsement of the community and what a tribute to Martin.

That’s amazing. You’ve truly made that your own - it’s a fantastically coherent design and it looks like it’ll play itself. Congrats, I hope it’s everything you wanted. Does it have a nickname yet?

I was tempted with that but I gave myself a strict brief on the exact combo I was after, sort of hoping I wouldn't find one. And then I did. So it's kind of bad and good.

I'm pretty sure the Tributes use USA hardware and electronics, so the difference is in the wood and finishing. The tributes look like fantastic value, but then again the USA models feel amazing and go for a steal on the used market compared to their better known relatives. I've never played a tribute or seen one in the flesh, though. Based on video evidence alone I'd say the difference in sound is negligible. With any product like this with a diffusion line it's normally the higher priced line which is more consistent, the attention to detail such as the fretwork and feel of the neck etc will be paid more attention, but the import model will be more variable - potentially the same on a good day, especially given the same fittings.

Good story - meanwhile I'll be probably spend well into the New Year critiquing the sound of the switches themselves 🤣

I’d be Digambara if it meant I could still own basses. ☑️Be naked ☑️Look after animals ☑️Cool logo

Saved, cheers

I won't touch anything other than Elixirs when it comes to rounds! I can't be doing with rounds that lose their edge.

I totally missed that post!! Thanks. It's hard to tell, tbh - the standard sounds are quite different to others I've hard, influenced a lot by the string type and other settings. I think it's going to be just a bit of trial and error. As you suggest, I'll keep the bass in passive mode and play with the sounds that way to get to 'know' it, before trying active sounds, and eventually I'll get the K-mod done with outers and perhaps try inners after that. It'll give me something to play with... I'll probably put rounds on it

I don't think I've seen an inner coil demo, got a link? And yes I never pan my pickups on jazz basses; it's dead centre for me every time!

It adds a third position to the series/parallel switch which splits the coils. So in this position you can for example isolate the outer coils of each pickup for a J bass sound (although I'm unsure of the spacing, it sounds sort of in between 60s and 70s, nice and raspy). I think it can also be done by way of a 'pull out' pot on the volume pot, and you can also choose the inner coils if you prefer. I think adding a switch to choose between inner and outer would be one step too far on a bass with hundreds of possibilities already, which I think I'll probably use most in the Smith-esque all on/series mode as a counterpoint to the P.
