  1. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted when I commissioned my mind-bendingly expensive custom bass. I also knew what I wanted when I changed the pickups in it twice and the preamp in it 3 times. Then I knew that I did not know what I wanted. It was an expensive lesson.
  2. I have stopped booking insurance with the company but use secursus.
  3. I have had 2 full-size bass guitar boxes dropped off in post offices for me in the past 2 weeks. I am not boasting here. Just for info. The 60cm thang sounds like a royal pain.
  4. I have given up on pickups. I just book drop-offs.
  5. Urghhhhhhhhhh. I have absolutely no need of this. But I want it badly.
  6. I bought a new G&L bass from the USA. The truss rod snapped. I am not complaining about that. Things happen. I have just received a brand new neck from G&L in the US as a replacement. This is the customer service we like.
  7. It's gratifying when a concept actually comes to fruition like you hope it will. My track record of "improving" basses is chock full of "Ah, not all that after all" moments. This is all I hoped for.
  8. Ban this sick filth!!!! Not wrong though.
  9. Tone words. I played the Umm.....Bongo at church this morning. In a kind of strange analogy, it was like playing bass on an Aston Martin V8.
  10. I just bought a bass back that I sold 6 years ago. Don't let it eat away at you.
  11. Thanks for humouring me everyone And because it is an early one the tooooooone is better. Those are the rules.
  12. In the never-ending quest to mess with things, I (obv not actually me) have taken a Seymour Duncan 5 string (https://www.seymourduncan.com/single-product/70s-music-man-alnico-5-5-string) out of my MM USA SUB . I have also taken the Nordstrand 2B-MM preamp out (https://www.bestbassgear.com/nordstrand-2b-mm-preamp.htm). Don't be sorry for me. It is full of Bongo electrics now. Pickup - £80 Pre - £80 I also have a black (b/w/b) scratchplate and a white (w/b/w) scratchplate. £20 each Fancy them you know you do. Geddy Lee's big book of bass - £35 + whatever it will cost to post. It is not light. Or small. As the title suggests. East MPM-02 Piezo Mag Mixer Sold Hipshot D tuner bass extender. GB7
  13. But here is a screenshot of an old school (better toooooooone, obv) Nordy MM pre.
  14. Super close up action. Which I suspect will tell us nothing.
  15. I have looked at Retrovibe stuff and their boards seem to have Retrovibe on them. This does not. There are no clues under the DS tape.
  16. Incredibly powerful editor. But the really good bit is that some grown-ups have programmed a bunch of stuff so you can download loads of things and not have to get lost in the editor.
  17. I guess it could be an original SUB one. The seller on Ebay had put a Seymour Duncan pickup in it so it is likely to at least be decent. Selling it would be easier if I could actually give it a name though!
  18. This came in a MM US SUB I bought while playing Ebay Roulette. It was sold as being a Nordstrand, but I suspect it is not! Can anyone recognise what it actually is? It did the MM 2 band thing fine and dandy but I now have a different pre in there and want to flog this one. TIA
  19. I hear you. The A&H will do all that the extra onboard DSP in the 10.2 will do.
