What's the most over-rated bass, or bass related product???
Musicman20 replied to silverfoxnik's topic in General Discussion
Ampeg again, after using a cab this weekend at a gig that sounded a bit 'meh'. I really wanted to like Ampeg. -
PICS! Also, guitar-wise, I sold my Fender Deville which was too loud for my needs and not really a mad fan of 10s with guitar, so Ive got a Dual Terror and an Orange PPC212 in Limited Edition White on order The Dual Terror is amazing for its size and price, and has options of either being on 7, 15 or 30 watts. 30 watts all tube is damn damn loud.

[quote name='Linus27' post='592210' date='Sep 7 2009, 04:33 PM']Do you know what pickups this has? American or Japanese?[/quote] Hi I THINK its the USA pickup.....Im not 100%. When I bought it new I never knew a lot apart from I wanted a Fender Precision, and this MIJ caught my eye. Old Git (Si) knows I bet.... -
I have yet to use the LM3 with my sansamp...quite looking forward to it. I think Im going to get a Tonehammer as well to be able to choose!

Basically this is dead pro and the band as a whole looks cool as hell. Thats exactly what you need for some dirty rock. Like it, and the Bass look and sound is great. -
Fender Jazz American 1975 Re-Issue and Darryl Jones Skyline
Musicman20 replied to Linus27's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Linus27' post='591944' date='Sep 7 2009, 09:40 AM']Just want to update this thread. I have owned a Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones for a good few months now and generally been very happy with it. The build quality is excellent. You can't fault it in anyway and it looks superb. It also sounds really nice. The neck is nice and thin and pretty flat and the bass hangs well. Its a great sounding and playing jazz bass. However, there has also been a few things that I have not been so happy about. Yes it sounds very nice, but the tone is also very deep. Very bass heavy and I have always struggled to get a bit of sparkle out of it. I even got a comment at my first gig with it saying it sounded really nice but it needs to cut through more and this was with me trying to cut through. The other issue with it is its a very rigid bass. I have an ESP Jazz bass which seems to flex and move with you as a player. It feels soft to play and moulds into you. The Lakland feels really stiff and rigid and does not seem to flex. I feel like I am attached to a pole. Its also very heavy at about 10lbs. I have just recently got an Fender American 75 Re-Issue jazz and it is a totally different bass to the Lakland. Sound wise it is excellent. Lots of attack, punch and sparkle. It still has the bottom end but a much more balanced sound compared to the lakland. Its also very light or much lighter than the Lakland. It has a very different shape neck and feel which seems to be more to my liking. It also feels flexible and softer to play and I felt at one with it from the word go. Fel wise, it reminds me very much of my 1977 Fender Precision which was my favourite bass ever. However, quality wise, its not a scratch on the Lakland. It looks rough and ready and nowhere near the quality of the Lakland. It really does look like a workhorse. So when it comes down to it, both basses are excellent but very different. Tonally and feel, the Fender just suits me better. I would not say the Fender is a better bass, not by a long shot. I would probably go as far as saying the Lakland is a better bass but it has some characteristics that just don't suit me. This is a real shame as I love the Lakland and its a top bass but it does not suit me and I may consider selling it. I never thought this would happen as I love the Lakland brand but I'm not sure I will play her. The Fender just feels right and suits me tonally.[/quote] Thanks for this review. I love the Lakland 5 String DJ, the neck especially. I did notice its a different Jazz tone to what Im used to, but something about that neck on the 5's is incredible. I am a Fender nut, but I really don't think their 5 string bass necks can compete, which is a shame I really want one of the USA 75 Reissue Jazz Basses, but I wish they were available in different colours. I already have 2 natural instruments (MM EB and a USA Telecaster Guitar) so now I want something different colour wise, which is the blue of the Lakland DJ Hmm...I just cant find another 5 string Jazz that suits me, the Sadowsky really wasnt my cup of tea. -
I DI'd tonight and the next band liked it so he did the same...basically his head was on the way out. I use a Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI....its a coloured Ampeg-ish gritty sound which is pretty good considering all you have to take is a tiny box. I really like the Aguilar Tonehammer and I intend to get one very soon as its totally different. Touring with a sansamp is really easy! Gareth

[quote name='alexclaber' post='590080' date='Sep 4 2009, 07:51 PM']I don't believe that's what they're saying, seems to be more the suggestion that for someone stating "as for cabs, I have no clue where to go" then tying themself into exclusively one speaker configuration is short-sighted. Alex[/quote] Fair enough. There is often an anti-4x10 stance though, so I was just making sure he knew that actually 4x10s are still all good, if you want that type of cab
-
HS410/AE410 both awesome. Dont let people say a 4x10 isnt necessary. I love 4x10s, and they do the sound I want, and LOUD!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='590030' date='Sep 4 2009, 07:00 PM']Well no Birdy, because an out board preamp will just do what my amp does. thats all a preamp does... i will just have more confusing amp EQ.. It will be done by a pro i know, so will be very neat..[/quote] I heard people mention this. I'd say an out board pre amp pedal is a really good idea plus can use them for DI and other features they have. Just my 2 penneth Beauty of a bass....keep it as it is and get a preamp pedal. Some of those pedals do a lot more/different things to an amp.

[quote name='Moos3h' post='589379' date='Sep 4 2009, 08:48 AM']It's always worth getting in touch with The Bass Merchant too - Darren is good people and his prices are often excellent I too have bought SOME stuff from Thomann before - as long as your goods work ok and the transaction goes okay then you're fine, but believe me, in my experience it's a world of pain when they don't![/quote] Agreed, Darren did me an ace price on the LM3...and I mean ace. I wont put it up. Needless to say he will sort you out, great shop as well.
-
I agree about the sun issue. Its blazing on the Sadowskys, the Aguilar amps/cabs and the TC Electronics gear. I would not want to buy anything thats been sat in some of this heat weve been having....plus, why put the most expensive basses in the most dangerous place?! They are a dream to play, not my thing when plugged in. SR5....I agree....love em!

[quote name='johnbiffa' post='589263' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:28 PM']If it doesn't sell please let me know, Im in E Yorkshire so collection pretty easy..........also how about a Marshall Super Bass 100 from late 70/s early 80's very loud. I have 2 and 1 is a spare that I never use. John[/quote] Hey Ive got a chap off Gumtree first dibs, then the chap above your post, then if it doesnt sell ill give you a message. Thanks for the interest. If Im honest Id much prefer the cash as Im getting an Orange guitar setup.

Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi USA for sale - PIC ADDED!
Musicman20 posted a topic in Effects For Sale
As per the title, this is a very excellent condition Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi USA Effects pedal. Comes complete with the original wooden box, instructions, packing material, warranty card and sticker which is a rarity. Seen one on here for £36 w/o box posted, so with box how about £40 ONO posted? Or £35 picked up ONO. Its a classic USA one, and its mint. PM me any offers....Im on London this weekend (Sat/Sun/Mon) if you are based there. I live in North East Lincs though. Thanks Gareth Edit: Picture added! -
[b]NOTE - In London area 17-18th October...so can deliver for small fee or meet. Alternatively, can meet anywhere on the way from NE Lincs area to London.[/b] Made In Japan Fender Precision '62 Reissue. Colour is Olympic White, guard is Red Tort, fretboard is rosewood. I have had the bass from new, around 1996 ish. It even still have the '50 Years of Fender' sticker on the back of the headstock. The bass works exceptionally well, it is light, comfy, and worn in. Sounds like a Precision should Throaty deep and aggressive with a pick, or roll back the tone and it does fat and warm. Just had a setup and check costing £12...everything is 100%. The has sentimental value, so I dont want to let it go cheap. This bass has served me well, and has years and years left in it! I may well withdraw this if nothing firm has been made. This is the ’62 Reissue model and not a standard MIJ, hence the price. I have been advised that this is just about the right price, but I am willing to negotiate. I have also done some research and these basses were held in high regard at the time, and are becoming quite collectable. Condition: We are looking at an almost 14 year old bass here, but you would never guess it. There is no actual damage to it, just very [u]light[/u] wear n tear. I [u]never[/u] wear a belt buckle facing the bass when I play, no matter what the bass cost me, so there is [u]no[/u] buckle rash. A few light small dings in the headstock that cannot be seen unless closer, few areas of very light ageing, but its been cleaned and cared for. It has great sentimental value, and even though I was a young player when I first owned this, it has always been used properly. All as original, stock parts. Two tiny little dints near the scratchplate, but it hasn’t done anything to the paint apart from leave a little mark, and they are not visible to the camera. Cannot see it at a distance! For almost 14 years old, its doing very well Paint looks great for its age. Give it ten years and this bass will look even better. Scratchplate is in tact and fine, it has the obvious scratches, but if you wanted to you could replace it. Personally, I think it looks good how it is No damage to the neck area what so ever. Smooth varnish finish on the back means this is sooo easy to play. Nice tint to the neck. The rosewood board and the frets are fine. This stays incredibly in tune, all the time. Comes fitted with Rotosound 66 Swing Bass lights…if you want a higher tension and a little bit more aggression, put a normal/heavy set on it. Case: Fairly lightweight hardcase, it has only been used for 6 months. Weight: Light! I have no idea on its actual weight, as I can’t weigh it, but I know it is light and comfortable. Compared to the USA Fender Precision Deluxe I sold a while back, this is much much lighter. I have never experienced any ache or problems back-wise when using this bass. Feel free to test it. Sound: Well, this nails P bass thud and punch without a doubt. I have recorded a fair few times with this bass, and I have always had compliments on how well it sounds in a mix. Believe it or not, some of my latest recordings are just this P Bass, a Sansamp BDDI with a little grit and fairly new strings. All straight into the board. Sounds huge, chunky, fat and grindy. Roll back the tone and you have that classic P Bass thump. . Location: I am based in NE Lincs, but I am willing to travel halfway for trades or sales, (fuel contribution for sales). Feel free to PM me to come and test it. I can post this bass, but it would be much safer to pick it up. Please note: Due to its sentimental value, I will withdraw it if I don't get near what I would like. The majority of the pics are quite dark...the bass itself is quite a vibrant white...but creamy. [b]Price[/b]: £365.00 including the hardcase. EDIT: Very recent setup [b]Trades[/b]: I am open to trades on USA Fender Precision/Jazz Basses 08/09, (plus a chunk of cash from me).
