  1. Thanks guys, I agree re both. I bought this when I was playing upright in a 3-piece band which had a very specific challenge with live sound and especially vocal monitoring (some songs required 3-part harmonies supported by upright bass, slide guitar, and banjo. I'll give you a few minutes to calculate the chances of the whole thing being in tune with anything but 100% monitoring fidelity......) Anyway, I loved the guys and and the music, but ultimately it was a real niche band (think Wood Brothers gigging the pubs of Kent), and we sacked it shortly after I bought this unit. My current band is one of these rare beasts that plugs into a mixer, plays, and barring a few tweaks, sounds good, so replacing the simplicity of the current Peavey desk that works really with the (relative) complexity of this unit seems unnecessary. A sound guy who I was talking to at our last gig however said he'd love to get his hands on one of these because it makes his job infinitely easier. Guess it's horses for courses πŸ‘
  2. Good thinking, I'll edit accordingly πŸ‘
  3. Just interested really, there always appears to be a lot of interest when a fretless is up for sale here, but having looked around there are probably far fewer being manufactured that I'd assumed? PLEASE RESPOND TO THE SURVEY EVEN IF YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN FRETLESS BASS, IT'LL TAKE YOU LESS THAN 5-SECONDS πŸ‘
  4. I also have an older version of the SKB case that I'll throw in if the buyer wants it, it's perfect for the Ui24 as it it has an area for laptop/tablet built in above the unit itself πŸ‘
  5. Ah, sorry I wouldn't be able to get it to you I'm afraid
  6. This is the truth πŸ‘
  7. Good Basschat review here..... I paid Β£325 for this eBay used a few months back so was aiming to sell for what I paid, however having just checked they're only Β£379 at Anderton's so how about Β£275 πŸ‘
  8. Whole lot better than I was expecting when I bought it for a specific gig project, and it transpires these are really well thought of instruments. Can post Stock photo, will upload actual photos when I can get to the music room
  9. Details here https://www.soundcraft.com/en/products/ui24r Long story but I paid for this on behalf of my then band a year ago and things have moved on without it ever having been used bar a simple 'does it work' check at the time. It's been housed in a very high quality SKB case since so has probably been better protected than would have been the case in a stock warehouse! Cheapest I can find online is Β£779 at Anderton's here https://www.andertons.co.uk/soundcraft-ui24r-digital-mixing-multi-track-recording-system/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20730020355&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUrk3NmIqXRRA2FwnV9VrsuUr&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0pzQ-9i5jgMVBj8GAB3mGgs6EAQYAiABEgLdSvD_BwE Thomann/GFM are considerably more expensive. I prefer lo-tech mixers to be honest, hence not giving this a go. Will come with all original packaging. Trade-wise a large all tube head will always interest me
  10. Always struck me that with graphite necks, given the cost or manufacture the relatively limited marketplace per instrument - Fender Jazz excluded - that a modular headstock design is a route worth exploring, essentially a headless neck with either some prongs or inserts that will take a range headstocks of the major designs (Fender/EBMM as well as more niche options such as Wal, Warwick, Sandberg). If it were wood the join would be way too vulnerable to stress/impact, much less so with graphite?
  11. List a Status Graphite 4-string Jazz neck for sale on this forum and it will be gone within minutes at a price higher than its original RRP, simply because of both rarity and the vast number of instruments already owned that it will work with (Fender MIA, MIJ, MIM Jazzes and Precisions, plus many other brands). Cheap? It's simply good business sense. A lot of businesses go under because they fail to recognise the nature of the market they're selling into.
  12. Biggest market has to be Fender Jazz in both fretted and fretless, followed by Precision and one or more Stingrays (depending on whether they are pre-drilled) πŸ‘
  13. Nicely done mate, what did you use?
  14. I’m sure if you let us know where you are someone could help out in person?
  15. Likewise πŸ‘
  16. Did you age the pickguard?
  17. Lovely @kevin_lindsay πŸ‘
  18. I'm not sure where I got this from (either here or TB I imagine), but when I bought my EBMM US SUB in around 2005 I read that EBMM were using bodies for the SUBs that were considered of insufficient quality for the EBMM 'rays (weight/grain etc), and as the SUB bodies were polar I'd assume the same was true of at least some of the rays. Happy to be corrected, but given that the PP is also poplar it suggests that there's some truth
  19. But rosewood board...... πŸ‘
  20. Exactly, custom, not a regular line πŸ‘
  21. Agree, likewise Fender make fretted Jaco and Tony Franklin versions of their respective sig instruments, it’s a case of offering what is likely to sell I guess πŸ‘
