Also note that it says April 13 in the ad, which happens to be the first day of NAMM. So, we could be in for some more announcements in a week's time.

Thanks. Interesting video. However, Sheldon got some details wrong. Rio was Duran Duran’s second album, not their first (that was “Duran Duran”, released a year earlier in 1981). Second, John Taylor was not 17 when he recorded his basslines for Rio but 21 ½. Third, Queen Elizabeth II did not “have a Neve PA system” but Rupert Neve “provided public address for Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth II at the reopening of St Andrews church” (see Rupert Neve Designs website).

Anth just bought my GHS strings (flats and pressurewound). Transaction was super smooth and I received payment literally within a minute. Great stuff 👍

Another new wacky EBMM Joe Dart short scale bass ...
Eldon Tyrell replied to Adee's topic in Bass Guitars
Yes, he can be whacky at times, his claw shtick is a bit lame, and his fashion "taste" is, well, questionable to say it politely. However, I do like his reviews as they are proper "reviews" (he is not getting paid for them and he sometimes does rate basses lowly, just check out his videos on the Fender Gold Foil Jazz Bass (no claws out of 5) and the G&L Placentia JB (1 claw out of 5)) and not, more or less, concealed gear demos like what we get from most of these YT clowns ("Hey, I got this amazing (insert any random bass/pedal/amp of the week) that you have to check out. It's awesome, the best ever, you cannot live without it, your life will never be the same again (enter any other effxxx hyperbole)!") 😎 -
Selling is the new buying!

I am selling this beautiful 2004 Fender American Series Precision bass in chrome red. I bought it pretty much a year ago here on BC and the previous owner clearly took good care of it. It is in great condition for an almost 20 years old instrument. There are some scratches (mostly on the back, difficult to photograph but see one photo below for a larger scratch) and a dent (see photo below) but apart from that, it is in really great shape and plays well (no fret buzzing, noisy electronics, neck issues etc.). The bass weighs 4.2kg. I made the following changes/mods (I would call them upgrades but that’s for anyone to decide): I added a Hipshot A Style brass bridge (£90), the Fender Pure Vintage 63 Pbass pickup (£110), a KiOgon P-bass loom with CTS pots (£36), and 2 Fender Potiknobs (£20). I have also just put on some new strings (D’Addario EXL 165, 45-105). Of course, all the original hardware parts that I replaced come with the bass, including the S-1 Switch for series and parallel wiring and two extra pickguards - one from WD (solid black) and one from D’Andrea (3-ply - Black/White/Black). Collection would be recommended but I can also ship it (UK only, sorry!) using the original hard shell case and a decent courier. Shipping would of course add some costs. Specs: Photos:

I am selling my mint Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion pedal. I bought it back in June last year and only used it a few times at home. It is in pristine condition. It is currently stored safely in its original box in a pet and smoke free house. The price is firm as new ones currently go for £189 (GAK, Gear4music), £199 (Andertons, out of stock though), up to £220 (Thomann). Here on BC, one recently also sold for £125, so I think it is a fair price. Shipping costs are included (UK only, sorry!) using a decent courier. About the pedal (from the Source Audio website): "Get down and dirty with the AfterShock Bass Distortion. Out of the box, this stereo pedal delivers three bass overdrive engines that span the gamut of low-end crunch, from smooth and natural overdrive to full-on fuzz attack. The Tube engine belts out a subtle, but powerful vintage tube overdrive with a smooth breakup and plenty of punch. Heavy creates an aggressive scooped sound with ample highs and thundering lows. The Fuzz engine offers intense germanium fuzz tones with loads of bottom and mucho grit. The Aftershock’s simple, yet powerful control panel provides the tools to finely sculpt the perfect bass tone. The Clean knob lets you to mix in just enough clean signal to maintain a rock-solid low-end without compromising the pedal’s SONIC GROWL. Adjust the onboard Tone control and find that thunderous sweet spot for any bass/amp combination. The Official Aftershock Demo Video By itself the AfterShock offers tremendous tonal range, but dig a little deeper and discover its hidden power and flexibility. Every pedal in the One Series line is compatible with the Neuro Desktop Editor and Mobile App (free downloads iOS, Android, Mac and Windows). Connect the AfterShock to the Neuro Editor and access its extended equalization capabilities, stereo routing options, as well as Source Audio’s free library of over 40 overdrive, fuzz, and distortion algorithms for bass AND guitar — each algorithm can be downloaded directly to the pedal. The Aftershock is also built on dual drive platforms providing the opportunity to simultaneously run two fuzz tones in parallel, stacked, or split in stereo. Plus, every One Series pedal is fully MIDI compatible when coupled with the Neuro Hub (formerly Soundblox Hub), providing the power to save up to 128 different presets." Specs: Pedal Type:Bass Distortion, Fuzz Analog/Digital:Digital Inputs:2 x 1/4" Outputs:2 x 1/4" Other I/O:1 x 1/8" (control pedal) USB:1 x Mini-B True Bypass:Yes, switchable to Analog Buffered Software:Neuro Desktop Editor (Mac, Windows), Neuro Mobile App (iOS, Android) Power Source:9V DC power supply (included) Power Usage:150mA Height:2.21" (including knobs) Width:2.75" Depth:4.58" Weight:0.62 lbs.

Will Yamaha ever reissue the old BB3000 basses??
Eldon Tyrell replied to Brian18242's topic in Bass Guitars
For a used BB, I would go straight to the source, i.e., Japan. I recently got my 1200 from there and it is in great condition for a 45 year old bass. Reverse P and neck-thru, sounds huge! -

F/S Yamaha Attitude Special bass - Price reduced to £550 - *WITHDRAWN*
Eldon Tyrell replied to ead's topic in Basses For Sale
Great looking bass. Very tempting as I am currently on a Yamaha trip and love red basses. So, I did some digging and the Attitude Specials were made for two years only in the mid 90s. They were made in Taiwan. Here is an old Reverb post with the info (also a seafoam green model) https://reverb.com/item/2777967-yamaha-attitude-special-bass-1994-seafoam-green-billy-sheehan-w-deluxe-hardshell-case-included -
Speaking of non PJ BB's, I recently got this beauty which needs no introduction. It is from 1978, which is great as the world's most expensive bass ever sold at auction (same model and colour but obviously LH) is from the same year: https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/2021/12/paul-mccartneys-yamaha-bb-1200-bass-auctioned/ The bass is in pretty good shape and sounds killer. I really like the reverse P and neck-thru combo, same as on my Spectors (but they are PJs, expect for the NS-1 and the Euro 77). Great bass!

Did anyone here actually buy a EBMM Joe Dart?

Yes, Lee Sklar, I remember him performing on stage during a jazz-blues or blues-jazz festival on the Isle of Lucy. Happy days 😉

Good to know, here's goes my GAS. Thought they would have the thin neck specs (Ian Hill)

Wow, no wonder this finish has already sold out!
