  1. And refund him through PayPal when you have your sax in hands and are sure it's really yours...
  2. We were invited to play at a folk festival. We were a prog-jazz-fusion band. I didn't understand why they were calling us for this festival, but it was well paid. We said yes. The folk guys said us after the balance : "Wow what a sound.” When we started to play, everyone left the venue, I mean we really played for the tables and chairs. Even the sound engineer left. They came back when we had finished, saying : "The sound was better outside". No kidding. And yes, we got our money...
  3. The only Kickstarter thing I bought was a suspended system with a flash and a remote control for smartphones. Took two years to get it and it was utter Chinese crap not even conform to the original presentation. Went to the bin ! I'm afraid this one would be the same.
  4. Of course, they will. You'll have just more of all with Cubase Pro compared to AI. The interface is a bit different too.
  5. It's not expensive, it's a theft ! Here is the original cork one, named Kalbass :
  6. When I was much younger there was a cork self adhesive thumb rest... Now there's is this : https://m.thomann.de/gb/kala_u_bass_thumbrests.htm
  7. It does only by the truss rod cover engraved with Mark King, otherwise it's a Supernatural. This one has special inlays. But it doesn't make it worth 2000 GBP... I had this very white one :
  8. You are right and ... wrong. When the OP started the thread, this Ibanez range wasn't available and the EHB's were firstly advertised with much noise as fan(ned) frets basses... Even if the range also covers regular fretted basses, of course.
  9. Another The Jack Custom V in Germany for a very slim price including a spare set of strings and a case. The guy is even looking for a trade... https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/hohner-the-jack-custom-5-saiter-headless-in-topzustand.6592/
  10. MUSIC MAN (ERNIE BALL) StingRay 5 fretted with a rare one piece light ash body and the "shell" pickguard. For sale only as I'm thinning down the herd (again). Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £1175 GBP !!! In fully working condition and in excellent overall condition. Here are the specifications : Body : one piece light ash body Neck : 6 screws bolt-on maple Fingerboard : rosewood Frets : 22 (no wear) Headstock : typical Music Man 4 + 1 shape Pickup : Music Man AlNiCo Preamp : Music Man 3 bands with 3 positions switch Controls : volume, treble, mid, bass, 3 positions switch (series/series filtered/parallel) Tuners : Music Man Bridges : Music Man Strings spacing at bridge : 17.5 mm Nut : bone Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : original black metal Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : chrome Truss rod : 1 (fully working) Finish : natural gloss slightly yellowed with original shell pickguard Land of craftsmanship : USA Serial number : E29111 Year : 15th of March 2002 Weight : 4.3 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret (can go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with the original Music Man StingRay hard case (which was still a paid option in 2002). Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd as I've just acquired a Status S2 Classic 5 headed fretless, which suits my taste better than any fretted bass. Here is the link to the StingRay 5 page : https://www.music-man.co.uk/instruments/basses/stingray-5 The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery and is fitted with a brand new set of D'Addario EXL170-5 nickel round wound strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130), which fit the bass to perfection. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with the very few scratches, the most "important" ones being on the headstock (bloody low ceilings). Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  11. In fact, I didn't like the overall sound of the Quilter 800 (too mid scooped for me) and being a tech geek, I like to know what I'm really doing when turning knobs. I'm still a big fan of a, say, a 32 bands graphic or even better fully parametric EQ... That's why I prefer the 802 approach, even it's still Quilter sounding. That said, if you like the overall sound, go on, you won't be disappointed.
  12. At home, I play totally unplugged most of the time. And it helps a lot to hear the default in your playing too. I could play through my soundcard or my preamp through headphones, but I don't like the unnatural sound coming out of them (and they are high quality, before you ask), especially with a bass.
  13. It also depends if you want to buy new or used. As already said, I wouldn't go for the low end unknown combos. Depending on your style, you will maybe need some Watts under the hood even for home practice. There was an old SWR Workingmans 12 for sale here on BC. This combo coupled to the high quality Jazz Bass Lag (before Lag bankruptcy) you own is really good (excellent, in fact) and will be more than enough for rehearsals or small gigs. Sadly for you, I checked and it's gone.
  14. I do like the names of the frequencies as it's what they really do, plus the frequency itself is labelled below, just in case. I prefer the 802 to the 800 for the real frequencies filters instead of some useless predefined curves.
  15. STATUS GRAPHITE S2 Classic 5 Headed Through-neck, the very one tested by the German magazine Gitarre&Bass in November 2000. For sale only as I'm thinning down the herd (again). Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £1750 GBP !!!

Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd as I've just acquired an S2 headed fretless, which suits my taste better than the fretted. This bass was bought new by a friend of mine by Music Store in Köln (paid by his wife : some guys are lucky) on the 2nd of December 2000 (original invoice will be delivered) ! He then asked Christophe LEDUC to put some front dots as there are only side dots. Here is the link to the Status Graphite main specifications : http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has two new batteries and is fitted with a (now) used set of Elixir nickel plated Nanoweb coating strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130tw), which fit the bass to perfection. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with the very few visible light dings photographed, the most important ones being on the headstock (bloody low ceilings). The lower milky line on the headstock photo is a reflection of the case lining. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  16. Traded another bass with Victor. We planned to meet un Brussels, but the Corona virus stopped us to do it. So we sent basses to each other. Now I'm the proud owner of a Status S2 Classic 5 fretless bolt-on. As usual with Victor, everything was smooth, fast and easy (sounds like some Motörhead lyrics 😉 ). And another perfect deal with Victor !
  17. Is it the one you sold me for peanuts, you know the one with tippexed serial number ? 🤣
  18. Even Lemmy was an Abba fan. That said, they came long after the Beatles and did learn their lesson more than well. Great pop tunes, for sure, very very well composed and arranged. Wish there were still so good pop bands nowadays.
