    Brinsley is ageing well. I had a long conversation with him, years ago, when he was also the amp tech at Chandler’s. A thoroughly nice gent and a mine of information on the workings of amplifiers. Also saw him with GP at the Marquee and Mean Fiddler, back in the late ‘80s; great player.

    Just appeared in the FS section…

    Valeton’s Tech21 Flyrig ripoff covers the bases (no pun intended): https://www.thomann.co.uk/valeton_dapper_bass_effect_strip.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWE-6JzW8zHoZd5QvudOBxdP&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6bfHBhDNARIsAIGsqLisLZEhPjbAD0q4veQXyBqU8otRoWXUvs-KscV4ck-xk0GfIMmmdlkaAkWLEALw_wcB Or the real deal but not on the cheap of course: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/210226367217025--tech-21-bass-fly-rig-v2-multi-effects?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17147278064&gbraid=0AAAAAD76p-0F4n-A_Ckl-voJvrNemZYYW&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6bfHBhDNARIsAIGsqLifpUd8rU6NafbgzXxb2oNHoenstMCx1btGLB31FSdSMblAcQXsROEaAjfUEALw_wcB

    Something very similar currently on the FS section

    Been there, done that, tone, volumes, D Tuners. Rite of passage that never seems to end. My best one was a guitar gig, where my lead had snaked itself through a pedal’s controls. I walked around a bit and suddenly had no sound, took me a while to fine that said cable had rolled the input gain to zero.

    Sweet, a nice solution you have there and it plainly works for you and your band. There’s certainly precedent for this, IIRC Robben Ford’s own, signature Fender was wired directly from the pickup selector to the jack output, he controlled volume and tone from his pedalboard. Not for everyone, but it’s an elegant solution, removing unwanted capacitance, etc from the signal path.

    That’s like saying no one should have a graphic or parametric pedal, or indeed an active EQ bass, they should buy the right amp for that bass/basses. I don’t need, or want, a different amp, I like what mine does and if I want to enhance it to my tastes, then that’s my choice, plus I’ve had it longer than all my current basses and I wasn’t going to buy a new amp with every new bass I’ve acquired over the years. YMMV of course and you’re free to buy as many amps you think are right for your basses.

    Rush.

    She’s popped up on my YT feed a fair bit recently. Great player, who, to my ears, has a real Vinnie Colaiuta vibe to her technique and sound. She’s also played with Jeff Beck and Lari Basilio, both of whom have used Vinnie in the past, so perhaps it’s not just me. It’ll be interesting to hear what she brings to the table with Rush, outside of those essential, Peart fills. I reckon it’ll be great.

    Depends on the EQ notches of your amp. My SBP2 does something that neither my amp or VTDI do. Plus there’s the buffering element.

    The pickups on my Maruszczyk J type are Delano JSBC 4 HE/M2 (catchy name), split coil humbuckers and the neck pickup sounds just like my P Bass.
  13. ezbass
    I use a Sadowsky SBP2 for much the same reason/effect.
  14. ezbass
    I only know them because folk have mentioned them here, I certainly have no experience of them. However, aren’t a lot of, let’s say ordinary (I can’t think of a better word), bolt on neck basses basically bitsas?

    Sounds as good as it looks. GLWTS.* *I’m now hiding under the bedcovers with my wallet, hoping someone snaps this up sharpish .

    I reckon a TRB 5 or 6 string with everything downsized would be a winner.

    I’m not an expert on Retrovibe gear, but it seems to receive a fair amount of love on BC. All I know is that he orders the parts (I assume from a Chinese source, but I could be wrong), assembles and fettles them to his spec and sells the product on. If the Ric-ish ones weren’t single cut, I’d be all over them.

    I love that Viv has gone down this route. Rob Allen has something similar (long scale) but really, really expensive ($5.5k at least + import duties)*. This isn’t cheap of course, but it is boutique and that’s always pricey. I’d love one of these, I mean, just look at it 😍.I reckon 32” is probably spot on for me. *https://www.roballenguitars.com/solid-4-gallery
