    Dave’s work is absolutely superb! One of the very best

    I’ve only used a Rumble in a rehearsal studio - 300w 15” combo(?) - but I was genuinely impressed. Solid tone with versatile eq and surprisingly light (though apparently well-built). Seems like a good choice and I’d certainly gig one

    Beautiful top on a beautiful Fodera - lovely to see you're using the Hellborg rig live. Not the lightest (!) but if you can carry it, the tone is simply breathtaking

    I’m not usually the biggest fan of the Orion body shape but it works extremely well on a 6 (IMO). Absolutely lovely

    The Bass Gallery in Camden could certainly sort you out with a new nut quickly and fairly cheaply - work is of the highest standard. Two very nice basses - I particularly like the P - lovely aesthetic

    Wow, thanks - I haven’t played a graphite Alembic but would definitely love to - thanks for posting, stunning!

    What What a thing to happen to a gorgeous Alembic though it seems to be a common situation

    Could be a lovely guy on a really tight budget. However, alarm bells all over the place here and as uncharitable as this sounds, I'm with mr4stringz above and absolutely not. What happens if there's any damage? I treat my own gear very carefully and other people's even more so, though I'm aware that not everybody is the same. If it was a cheap beater bass, then maybe, but not an expensive instrument. To be honest, I'm a little surprised you've been asked.

    That looks like a vermillion facing and in superb condition - really beautiful!

    No problem and I see what you mean about maple and chrome. The replacement process implies complete removal of the original heat-bonded gold logo and some flatting of the pickup cover. I've replaced a few logos where the original has almost vanished (to be honest, it makes the process a little easier). I'm pretty sure I've seen the Clown's Vomit covers - a really interesting addition!

    Beautiful - if you're looking to re-fin the pickups and add new gold logos, drop me a PM - I had some logos made by a very high-end model shop (horrendously expensive but an unbelievably good job). I've also been through the process of applying them to several pickups and refinishing the surface of the latter. A painstaking process but the results are very good (IMO). I was going to offer the transfers on the Alembic site (with Mica's permission, of course) but she didn't get back.

    Little to report other than I'm considering having my fretless fretted - that way it would get much more use. It's just sat in a mate's studio at present. I still play fretless but could get by with something a bit less elaborate. This all might be a bit nuts and I've certainly not convinced myself yet. A look at that lovely unmarked board certainly makes me think twice

    Legendary basses and for good reason - finest ergonomics of any Fender type I've owned - lovely

    Depends on the bass really. For a Fender-type, Gotoh FB30s (lollipops - the '66 J with dots and bound board with lollipop tuners makes me weak at the knees). For anything more 'modern', preferably an Alembic, it would be Schaller M90s - the 40% reduction in weight would be welcome.

    The finest tuner I've used - perfect for set-ups, especially intonation. It's accurate!
  17. three
    Without doubt, the same for me

    Thanks - I despise locking jacks (and actually find them potentially dangerous) - I have loads on basses and preamps. I'm about to make the mod.

    Mesa TT 800

    three replied to Smiles's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Have a look for BC member Steve Browning's excellent posts on the TT800 - I think Steve has a couple and is a long-time Mesa user. The downside with Mesa is the wait and it's possible that the TT800 won't make it to UK shores (and time soon anyway) - just a few units were shipped to the UK prior to the onset of various crises and getting hold of any Mesa gear new in UK/Europe has become highly problematic. Getting hold of a TT800 is particularly problematic. I was on the waiting list but abandoned the wait - not a bad thing as after hearing a TT800 up close, I realise that it wouldn't suit me at all and would have been going back. Still, if it's your kind of thing, then a great choice. Edit: found the link to Steve's review:

    My favourite Fender basses! I’ve had a few of these and rare to find them with the original thumb rest. What’s the weight on this? They’re often ridiculously heavy (though a mate of mine has a real featherweight)? Love the transformed colour on this one

    Really classy - alas one more string (and four inches more neck) than I need. Truly lovely.

    The finest bass amp ever built in my opinion - I prefer these to the 751. Great price too - pity for me it's not in the UK.

    Some great ideas above, some of which I've used. Recently, I've been using an Aguilar Tone Hammer with some success - there's a drive function that seems more than adequate, though its something that I don't use. It's a very hot unit so a bit of care required with gain and output, though a really useful and powerful EQ section. Essentially, it's an Aguilar OBP3 in a box (and the latter is one of my favourite on-board pres). Another alternative with a really fantastic EQ section is the Mesa Subway 800D plus - I had one until a few months ago and it really is a very well-built pre with an excellent feature set. I probably shouldn't have sold it as they're not easy to find (especially in more recent times).

    A lot of people seem to be using (and enjoying) GSS Sumo and Baby Sumo amps - there's a link here: https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-baby-sumo-ampxlite-bass-guitar-power-amp-c2x21844846

    I've seen and played a good number of these over the years but I haven't seen one in such condition for a very long time. Looks like a centre-jointed two-piece ash body too. These were quite a premium bass at the time of release. Absolute bargain IMO
