    Trouble is, Bass Direct only have the ProVintage in white at the moment, when the best colour is clearly sunburst May be a little while before BD gets more in stock but they will eventually I’m sure

    Alas, I can not play like Tibbers.

    Was literally just about to post re: Dingwall. They’ve tweaked the shape of the bodies and headstocks on the “D-Bird” and renamed it the “D-Roc” Before and after photos: To be be honest (and this hasn’t been clarified by Sheldon Dingwall) I actually doubt Gibson have gone after Dingwall yet. I suspect Sheldon just sensed the general stench surrounding this entire Gibson situation and decided to avoid it altogether, whilst making some cool mods to an already very popular model. Good on them I say.

    Ah, yes. I was eyeing these up very recently too! Sounds great and the Xotic preamp is nice.

    @bubinga5, fancy giving a Lakland a try? I played a 55-60 last week and was blown away by the feel and sound. Still thinking about it! Edit: and it was a Skyline so cost ~£1,300ish

    Sold!

    Very true. Assuming they’re both 8 ohm cabs and given that the BBT will be rated for far more wattage than the One10, @chris_b is totally correct. Unbalanced is the word.

    I believe Alex Claber’s advice is that mixing any of the 10” driven cabs with each other is fine, and mixing any of the 12” driven cabs with each other is fine, but mixing the driver sizes together is not so great. Ultimately though, the world won’t end if you do decide to do it. If it sounds good...

    This. On paper it seems like something that wouldn’t make a huge difference to the playing experience...but it does!
  11. CameronJ
    Alas, needs must. Can’t have it sitting in a case doing nothing any longer. It needs to be played!
  12. CameronJ
    Heresy.

    If I were in any way a 4 string player I’d be keeping this. It’s in really good condition with the only significant sign of wear being a scrape in the neck which I’ve photographed. I’ve had a few mods done to this, all at @thebassgallery in Camden. Firstly, I had the finish on the back of the neck taken down from gloss to a nice satin feel. Also had a passive tone control added, to supplement the stock Glockenklang preamp. This tone control works in both active and passive mode (Push-pull on the volume knob). As a result of this, the orientation of the knobs is now Volume, Tone and Treble/Bass on a stacked pot. I then fitted some matching Delano knobs to complete the look. Plays and sounds great, and is IMO an incredibly tasteful homage to the classic Fender Precision Bass. Weighs in at 8lbs 4oz on my bathroom scales. It’ll have to be collection or meet up in London as I absolutely hate couriers

    Hmmm. We shall see...it may end up staying with me!

    Recently bought Mark’s Mono M80 Dual Bass case. An easy experience from start to finish - great communication and swift postage. Pleasure doing business with you sir!
  16. CameronJ
    So true. It’s been flawless. If my board were bigger than a Pedaltrain Nano I’d be keeping it!

    Price is now £30 posted.
  18. CameronJ
    In excellent condition, boxed with all the original contents, cables etc. Not to be confused with the R30 expansion kit - this is the full standalone pack with its own power brick. Selling as I’ve massively downsized my board. Price includes UK postage.

    Jon Willis is doing great work. I’ve downloaded all his patches and I have to say he really knows what he’s doing. The website is a very new thing (I think it’s only been online for a week or so) but his Facebook group is where it’s at. Jon himself often posts videos demoing new sounds which he’s either releasing or still tweaking to get just right. If you comment in the group saying something like “Trying to get the bass sound that ‘X’ had on ‘Y’ album. Any suggestions?” Jon is likely to reply either suggesting adjustments to an existing patch of his, or he’ll cook something up from scratch that fits the bill. Bearing in mind he’s doing all this for free as a community resource, I can only applaud him!

    There was one going for a decent price a while ago on Facebook which I think @Cuzzie snapped up while I was twiddling my thumbs. So I ended up paying full price for mine from Bass Direct. Still worth it IMO! When Martin at The Bass Gallery saw the price tag he was like “is that price for real?”
  21. CameronJ
    I hear you. I’ve listened to so many bassists who sound absolutely godlike with a solo’d bridge J pup. Not I!

    Wow. Picked my Super P up from @thebassgallery earlier and have just gotten a chance to give her a proper spin at home. Just spent the past hour or so joyously noodling and I can say I’m very pleased with the Tonestyler! This bass always sounded great but this has just kicked it up a notch. I’ve got the “Bass Ten” version and it just gives me everything I could want tonally. I feel like I have an active bass but with 1 knob! Love the fact they’ve included the “pickups straight to jack” setting, bypassing the circuit altogether for maximum treble content, and on the other end of the spectrum I really enjoy the “sub” setting at full counter-clockwise on the knob. Though for slightly more articulation and definition while still feeling very subby I prefer just one notch clockwise from the “sub” setting. Everything in between is really delightful and I found myself just now realising I could cop a reasonable upright sound with this thing in a way I couldn’t really do before. Must be that mid frequency hump. A fantastic bass just got fantastic-er. Anyone wondering whether to take the plunge and go for a Tonestyler. Just do it. They aren’t cheap but I’d say they’re worth it.

    Ah, that’s helped quell my GAS, thanks

    Though at that price I couldn’t justify it. @thebassgallery had one in a while ago for a great price though: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/g-l-l5000

    @ped you’ve got me eyeing one of these now: https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_g-l-5000_id4670194.html
