  1. Thanks Guys. The bridge is great Richard and is a massive improvement for adjustment in the stock barrel one!
  2. I've just finished my Precision Frankenbass with all the parts sourced from Basschat! The bridge is a Hipshot A Style, the pickup is a Seymour Duncan SB-1 Vintage, flatwound Fender strings, neck and tuners from a Memphis Bass for sale on here and electronics from bits of that and some parts I had lying around. Sounds superb and I'm very pleased with how it looks. Just need to add some strap locks and then drag it to rehearsal next week. I had to do some chiselling and drilling here and there but apart from that, it came together very simply. Here are some pictures, I hope you like it.
  3. s.bass b50 made in italy + attenuator Video: https://youtu.be/ancwgpu-Fzw 50 watt bass head, made 1972 in Italy, running 4x EL84 valves, point to point wiring. This was serviced by the previous owner about 12 months ago I think? It is a gem saturn, great old school tone, similar to sound city in tone, great for p bass or semi with flats , the 2 channels are eq'd differently. Channel 1 has got loads more bottom end . Its got a clank to it and it breaks up nicely. The 2nd channel seems like a guitar channel rather than for bass. In a live band situation I found I was having to crank this up pretty much to max and it was just too overdriven for the type of music I was playing. To resolve this I bought an attenuator which lowers your amp’s output to line level. When using a tube amp, the speaker dissipates energy from the amp as sound. You must always have a load of some sort connected to your speaker-out jack, or you can severely damage the amp. This safely loads the amp into the box rather than a speaker and gives me a Line Out level (with a level boost toggle) and a Headphone Out (with a level boost toggle). You can also use the Speaker Passthrough so that your amp and speaker work as normal but you can also take a line level out into another amp. You can crank the gain up and down on your amp to get the tone you want without affecting the overall volume (much). Run the output from the attenuator into a power amp or the return of your regular amps effects loop and you've got loads of headroom with that old school valve tone! This would be quite expensive to post but if you'd like to arrange a courier yourself I can box it up. Otherwise I'm near dartford in Kent if you want to pick it up? Just after my money back as I need to fun a new project and the amp isn't getting played much as I'm using a lightweight combo to travel about with.
  4. £65? Got to be a bargain?
  5. Hi there. Sorry, only after cash for this. Thank you though.
  6. Bank holiday bump £42 posted. Surely a bargain for a rack mount multi effects?
  7. I've got no way to record unless it's an iPhone propped up so it's not going to be much use. Here is a video though of the same model but my one doesn't have the "Colour" distortion switch/dial, headphone input or di. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cYpdDY3dMxo
  8. I'll record some sounds through my amp later today. I takes a 12v adapter and has a 1/4 inch in and out. No DI on this version.
  9. Was that the Rickenbacker version?
  10. Top bloke, fast payment and a pleasure to deal with.
  11. Bump for a cool cheap bass which plays well!
  12. Ah, maybe that's it then! Thanks!
  13. Apart from flat wound string and a bridge/pickup cover, does anyone know the difference between their Detroit Bass and Power Bass? Does anyone own one or tried one and how do they compare to a Fender?

  14. Bump for some fat tube effect!

  18. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Wooly Mammoth clone from Little Bear.
