    I wouldn't jump to go down the mixer route yet as I've found most preamp pedals (I have 5 and all do) will drive an active PA cab. I'm sure someone cleverer than me (i.e. all of the above contributors) will know how many mV etc you need.

    Not all pedal preamps are created equal! I've got several preamp pedals that happily drive an active speaker QSC K10 but I've recently become aware that not every pedal will be guaranteed to do this. I know the word 'impedance' is the incorrect term to use but effectively the output of the pedal needs to have enough juice to drive the amp section; you'd think being a preamp that this would be a given but apparently not!

    On hold pending.

    The fact that the bridge and alignment of the ferrules are 'exactly' as per the Hondo screams that the body is simply a Hondo.

    Cant see the neck clearly but the body is a wrong un!

    No drill mark just a little paint chip. Strings are nickel 45-105 but I'll need to check brand.

    ...and free (mainland) UK delivery.

    £435 is less than I paid for mine this year and a good deal. I've used mine loads (even at rehearsals) and it has been flawless.

    From memory (and I don't have a bass to hand) I'm fairly sure playing the ascending riff it has a different note in, than the descending bit (if that makes sense). We used to play it in a weird key to fit the singer so I've no idea what actual notes we played.

    Get it bought... and I'll have it off you! LOL

    I have a Kala U bass and it's not worth me putting it on analogue bathroom scales as I doubt it would register... I'm sure that you'd be safe with a U bass.

    If these didn't go can I take them?

    Reduced £1400
  14. warwickhunt
    Lots of initial interest but nobody actually putting hands down into pockets... how about a reduction to £1300.

    I've had a few enquires re courier; to make it easy, UK mainland courier cost (inc 'proper' insurance to £1400) is £35.

    Fender geeks might be able to help with one thing I've never figured out. The headstock rear has a 5mm (approx) wood dowel/plug between the E A tuners; this is entirely from the factory but I've never understood why/what. I did wonder whether they tried fitting drop tuners to the very first production basses but they maybe didn't fit. I know the 2nd series had a larger headstock which DID have an E string drop tuner fitted.

    The exact opposite of the 79 P bass that I'm selling, this is an all original series 1 Fender Urge bass. Fender's first 'signature' bass designed with/for Stu Hamm. It is an amalgamation of the Precision, Jazz, and Kubicki Ex Factor basses (Kubicki active circuit with by-pass). Features a downsized alder body, Lace Sensor custom noiseless Jazz Bass pickups + custom Precision pickup, dual-band EQ, a panning Jazz pickup selector control, asymmetrical oval neck profile with a sculpted heel, string-through gold-plated bridge, black Gotoh GB7 tuners and a medium-scale, 32" graphite-reinforced maple neck featuring a 2-octave pau ferro fingerboard with 24 medium-jumbo frets. This bass also had a rotary switch offering four modes: standby (off), active mid-boost, active no-boost, and passive (urge). Weight is a very easy on the back 3.6kg / 7lb 15oz Comes with the original fitted case (inc keys). If I've missed anything I can only apologise and I'm happy to answer any questions. The absolute only trades I'd be interested in would be an early Warwick Streamer or a newer Sandberg VS / VT P bass (ideally black but open to talk). Obviously the price reflects the fact that this is all original and in excellent condition with the original (faux grey baby crocodile) case. Based in the North East but happy to talk about meeting up or courier.

    The obvious stuff... Refinished years ago from red to black (serial number sticker in the neck pocket shows original red paint), paint work is appropriately scuffed, dinged and not immaculate. Presently fitted with a Badass bridge; there is an old bridge here that will come with the bass (as it came to me) but I can not swear it is the original bridge to this bass. Nut is a well fitted brass replacement. Pup is a Seymour Duncan replacement but it is passive so no extra routing etc. Scratchplate is not original. It looks like one of the nurbs is original, the other not and I'd not think that the pots are original... mainly because there's no horrible crackle (who wants old pots any way?). Straplocks fitted - I'll supply the strap fittings or I can fit good quality replacements ('might' even be able to source some 70's ones off the Bassdoc). As they say... other than that it is ALL original! LOL The neck/headstock serial number and the body (neck pocket) sticker match, no issues on that front. The neck/fingerboard has a 'little' of the usual discolouration on the very edge of fingerboard but it isn't bad at all, I've seen plenty maple boards that are WAY worse than this. It is set up really nicely with brand new fresh strings on and sounds very healthy. Overall the bass is really nice and has all the late 70's vibe that you'd expect... inc' the fact it is 10 3/4lb in weight (proof it is genuine )! Perfect for that 'Stranglers' or 'The Jam' tribute! I'll include a case but it will be ratty and only fit to keep it safe in (a) transit but if you are collecting from me and making it easier, I'll include a far nicer tweed style case! If I've missed anything I can only apologise and I'm happy to answer any questions. The absolute only trades I'd be interested in would be an early Warwick Streamer or a newer Sandberg VS / VT P bass (ideally black but open to talk). Obviously the price reflects the non original parts and refinish. Based in the North East but happy to talk about meeting up or courier.

    Underhand and sadly unnecessary I'd have thought! One way to view it is that were you around and they'd asked you to change the band direction, what would you have done? You'd likely have walked which would put you where you are now (but without the feeling of betrayal). As has been suggested, approach the singer pointing out that you are going to resurrect the original idea and tbh the ground work has been done, so it could be she jumps at the chance!

    A traditional Irish bar... in Scotland... please tell me you were playing all Welsh band's material!

    Tomorrow night (Friday 30th) in Darlo!

    Can you not just use the Zoom as your mute/tuner?
  23. warwickhunt
    At this quality level it begs the question; what did you settle on? GLWTS

    That's the man! Great lad and a cracking player.

    This is why I still do it. I was going to say 'despite being 62 years going round our sun' but my age has nothing to do with it. AQOzzp_MbGHfoAfMTQA1oiNsW-zwmZT5u24bHPuASSIQATZ39KIoRCU9CEJAPvAOx7yQKG27BpFrfK2z5luGATub.mp4
