    I'd really love Gotoh to make the matching lightweight set, I think they'd sell loads. Oh and my basses would liek them That said, one of my PJBS basses has Wilkinson and the other two have stock tuners and, with a wide strap, I don't really notice the weight if the bass after a normal 3 hour function. That said, one of my basses is much heavier than the other two, and, interestingly, that's reflected in the tone too. I love the GZr pickups, probably the best passives that EMG have ever churned out, but deep down,m I've been an Active EMG'er for over 25 years now and I love what they do, so I'd definitely recommend them, they do sound really good in the reverse P-J configuration, both pickups full on. That said, I have been having a hankering for EMG's Alnico PJ version (The standard pups are Ceramic), for a more traditional vibe. Here's what I used to ream out the smaller holes (by hand) to fit the larger potentiometers in my basses that I have upgraded. The pots dropped neatly in afterward.

    Logic Pro

    Dood replied to PaulThePlug's topic in Recording

    Hi PTP! I’ve done a quick search with what I know about Logic: Minimum System Requirements for the latest version of Logic Pro: macOS Ventura 13.5 or later 6GB of available storage space for minimum installation or 72GB of storage space for full Sound Library installation The following Macs can run macOS Ventura: MacBook models from 2017 or later. MacBook Air models from 2018 or later. MacBook Pro models from 2017 or later. Mac mini models from 2018 or later. iMac models from 2017 or later. iMac Pro (all models) Mac Pro models from 2019 or later. Mac Studio (all models) This would seem to be true as my iMac is a 2017 running Ventura. It’s an old machine but it has no problem running 40 odd tracks with plugins, glitch free. 4.2Ghz I7 Quad Core with 64Gb RAM and quad channel internal 2Tb SSD. I also have a 2013 MacBook Pro I7 that is running Logic with no issues, but I’m not sure if it’s the latest update, probably not!

    The video comments suggest this was recorded live and, Joe has an Aguilar AG head that is at least being DI'd. It certainly sounds more DI than cabinet (which I generally prefer anyway!) I think the Original '62 pickup would sound pretty good in a P bass for this tone, or a lil scoop from a CS62.

    The bass sounds amazing, but I wanna throttle the "camera person".

    Absolutely. XLR is just the connector and, there’s plenty of mic wireless sets on the market. My comment was really that you be looking at 8 units (or more if any instruments are stereo). If budget isn’t a worry then 8 Sennheisser / Sony systems could work, but I’m not sure I’d trust recording with budget wireless systems, even if 8 x £70 is a budget someone is willing to swallow. Jamming and rehearsal, maybe. Seems like a lot of extra kit to pack up just to achieve freedom from a cable. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of being cable free and I can totally see a market for extra low latency wireless connections, but for jamming and recording, if we had to cut down on cables, I’d put the 8x£70 money towards running a DAW set up and just plug straight in to the XR running as an interface. Eliminate all the amps, XLR and excess cables altogether

    I don’t even need a fretless for this gig lol.. I do however want a fretless!
  7. Dood
    both of my Shukers are taking a long hard rest too, my current gig only needs two strings!! Which does mean I want a lottery win, so Jon can build be the ultimate 4 stringer!!
  8. Dood
    The point of balanced line transmission, or DI (XLR is the connector type) is to overcome both limitations of long cable runs and noise being picked up. Wireless would negate the point of DI in that case. Rather than use wireless, which I feel, to get the quality you’d want would be costly and hard to implement (due to environmental factors such as interference), I’d look at running inputs and outputs over Ultranet - for example, using an ultranet stage box - one cable to the XR18. But then, you may find that you still have to run all your instruments to that anyway and you’d not gain much by it.

    If you follow Julian Krause on YouTube, you’ll know that the Clarett range of Focusrite interfaces consistently rides the top end of the performance pile in all of his reviews. I’m looking to sell mine here so I can get another with more inputs (the 8 Pre as it happens). So, when that arrives and it all works, this one will be all ready to go.

    I have PJBS’s too. I can tell you that the Wilkinson and the FB30 tuners do indeed drop straight in. I think Gotoh actually OEM’d the original tuners tbh! I can’t remember the weights but the Wilkinson tuners may have been a smidge heavier but when I got mine they were about £25 a set!! So, that was a little while ago. on the subject of the res-o-lites, I did ask Gotoh (or rather whine like a big baby) for them to make a version of the FB30, but they declined saying 5hey had no plans to, which is mad as I’d buy about 5 sets then and there, the 640 and the rest of the res-o-lite range are the best out there, I love them! Filling holes and re-drilling is dead easy, I’ve done a few guitars now with either cocktail sticks and wood glue or colour matched wood filler. i the the 640’s would look pretty nice on the PJBS headstock! I might end up seeking out another PJBS at some point, I think I’m getting a bit obsessed with them!

    Has anyone seen this bass on their travels? Last known location was that it could have been sold to a studio in Suffolk. Note the holes I drilled near the bridge for a thumb rest.

    I'm using the Mk1 still, it's brilliant, hasn't let me down at all! I do have the Super Pre too, which is the Mk2 architecture in a pedal preamplifer format.
  13. Dood
    And a bump for you, I feel your pain.
  14. Dood
    Awww thank you for the kind words . They are on my radar and I hope to get my paws on one soon for a full review! Great review @ead! It's funny you should mention EMGs as I have a J set here ready for a J bass. I'll do a comaprison video for those when I have a moment to set that up too.
  15. Dood
    I've just been listening to Nothing To Lose, great bass tone!
  16. Dood
    I'm glad you recommend them as I have indeed snapped them up for the same reason! Thank you! Glad I made the right choice! I also grabbed Coherence, DynEQ, MasterTool, Spikes, TotalEQ and VHS. Some I got free, probably through soemwhere like Bedroom Producers, others on the 90% deal. I've also just picked up some free Limiters, because for some unknwon reason I've decided that I need more - Yet Korneff's El Juan is just insane (I managed to snag that one free!) - So I'll post my finding when I get a chance.
  17. Dood
    Their deals have had me buy a few of their plugins! They're not bad at all. Certainly can't gripe when they're just £5 when on sale sometimes!
  18. Dood
    I hope that the receiving end of me asking if there's any wiggle room on the price has been received favourably. When I had money to burn, I didn't haggle at all, but alas after years of financial torment, I am hugely and warmly appreciative of the wonderful BassChatters who have offered a little discount. In return, I truly hope that everything I have sold has been below value (usually because items are in meticulous condition as I baby everything). 99% of the time it has been brilliant, though there's the odd BCer whose behaviour was far from community spirit and they have their cards marked.

    Awww, I love this bass! If anyone has any doubts whatsoever about the stunning, top-tier workmanship that comes out of the Shuker workshop, feel free to message me! Shuker really is up there with the very best the world has to offer. I will be buying another one day!

    I love having a full range speaker solution behind me to get the clarity where it is needed, (top end and all-important upper mid range as wwell as deep lows!) so there's definitely options out there. I wondered if soemthing like this as an add-on might help? I've never reviewed one, so I have no experience of.

    My immediate thought was this. Angling speakers towards your ears is the simplest solution. I just wish that all guitarists learned this sooner too. Often, with a speaker off-axis, the top end and upper mid-range (which bassists need for pitch definition) gets lost. Guitarists with cabinets sat on the floor poitning towards their knees will then crank up the treble and presence so it sounds nice and balanced where their ears are. The audience, being 'on axis' with the cabinet have to deal with razor sharp tinnitus inducing searing top end. So many issues could be solved if their speakers were on axis with their lug-oles!!

    As a teacher myself (and I say this with a huge respect to those I regard as my friends who do online lessons and courses only) I'd strongly suggest getting 1-2-1 lessons in the first instance with a really good, vibrant and well respected tutor ( if you can find one locally, that is!) Nothing beats being in front of an experienced teacher with proven knowledge, who loves what they do and is enthusiastic about making sure their students have the skills that they need and the bad habits they don't. And, that includes teaching a student skills in self-motivaton and how to learn learn for themselves. (I am sure I could have made more money if I left that out of my syllabus, but that's not who I am). I have had a student who came to me in the same position, wanting to get the solid foundations down with a view to moving to an online course later to suit their future budget and work hours. I have no issue with that and, it worked very well. He's pretty busy gigging these days!

    Yes, the Z series shape is much better. A subtle reshape and it looks less like a 4 year old drew it originally ha ha!! I think the Z7 looks like a great instrument. Looking forward to reviewing them.

    Following on from @Tim Chapple's superb Spotify Playlist of Basschatter's work, I thought I'd remind us all that there's this collaborative list floating about (I'll add it back to my signature soon) for a great bass line general resource! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246416-spotify-best-bass-lines-evaaar-playlist-get-involved

    I've an EP with old band mate Andy James (Five Finger Death Punch) floating around somewhere that needs to be uploaded along with a couple of solo tracks I recorded with him.
