Wombats bass tone....a Stingray, a Jazz?...no, a P bass.
Rumple replied to iconic's topic in Bass Guitars
Before seeing the video I would have said it sounds a bit like a Rick to me but I'd have been way off track -
I bought these for a new 5 string Jazz Bass I'm having built for me but in the end decided to go for Hipshots instead so these are for sale, I purchased them new from Ebay (Stratosphere) in the US and sadly got stung for customs and VAT this time 4+1 configuration.

I bought these second hand for a 5 string Jazz bass build that's about to start soon but at the last minute I changed my mind and I'm going for humbuckers instead so these are for sale, AFAIK they have never been used. [s]£70.00[/s] [s]£65.00[/s] £60.00 including UK mainland postage. R. [attachment=163631:P1010051 lr.jpg]

I bought this recently from Ebay to use on my pedal board as a DI, although it works very well indeed and adds a little warmth to the signal the fact that it needs 9v AC rather then DC means using a separate power supply which is something I want to avoid so I'm moving it on. When I bought it it didn't come with it's wall wart but I'll supply it with one I had knocking around. Velcro dots on the bottom but they are easy to remove if you are not using it on a pedal board. Amazing bit of kit for not a lot of money. [s]£32.00[/s] £28.00 posted. R. [attachment=163630:P1010049lr.jpg]

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1401022475' post='2459202'] Good player but a nasty, thin and fizzy piezo pickup sound on this one. I've never heard a piezo pickup that sounds good. Much prefer magnets. [/quote] Weird as I love the tone of the bass in that clip, it sounds fat and warm through my amp and speakers but understand it may not be a tone everyone likes
-
Nice tone and playing. I always got to this clip when I need to listen to some nice fretless. [url="http://youtu.be/ycN9x_5MqHQ"]http://youtu.be/ycN9x_5MqHQ[/url]

Direct from the Status website, they are reasonably priced. I know some people have had issues with a dead string in a set, not something I've noticed but worth knowing before making a decision on whether to buy a set or not.
-
FYI Mark the bass of mine you played last week has Status half wounds on it.

I seem to be making a habit of buying basses from Mark, it makes sense though as he's an absolute joy to deal with the bonus for me is that he only lives down the road! Thanks for the Jazz
-
So I 'built' a bass, a fretless one. Feeling proud!

I do like an unlined fretless maple fingerboard. -
I bought a Hartke Bass Attack pedal from Rayman, it was sent really quickly and great comms.
-
I bought a DVD box set of The Wire from Ray, very smooth transaction, great comms and the the whole package is in great condition
-
That is lush.

I bought a Diago power supply from Ryan, product is in excellent condition and the deal was as easy as anything
-
I've owned loads of 5 strings and the neck on the SR5 suits me perfectly, it's my benchmark for how a neck should be but for some the string spacing is too small and they prefer 35" scale on a 5er.
-
Very nice. A small aesthetic change if it were mine would be to change those knobs to the plastic old fashioned Fender type.

I think you need a compressor that is able to do peak limiting.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400342744' post='2453090'] [size=4] so I may as well have bought a 5-string set, binned the G and tuned my 4-string B-E-A-D. [/size] [/quote] A route I've thought about taking.

VANDERKLEY BASS CABS - PLAYERS VIEWS PLEASE
Rumple replied to BassManGraham's topic in Amps and Cabs
I thought I'd mention that my 212MNT is now up for sale on Basschat, the thread can be found here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/237099-vanderkley-212mnt/ -
I had one for a few weeks and thought it was fab especially for the money, I moved it on quickly because I only like 17mm string spacing on a 5er and the VMJ was too wide for me. Have Fun

Due to the fact I only every play in rehearsal rooms and they have serviceable cabs this is a bit of an unnecessary luxury for me so I'm moving it on to make some space in the spare room, I bought this cab on here about a year ago and then purchased a new Roqsolid cover for it with matching red seams, it's in good condition but does have a little bit of bobbling to the covering here and there and obviously some scuffs to the plastic corners, nothing major but worth mentioning. Absolutely awesome cab and light enough for even a weakling like me to lug up and down stairs on my own. These are nearly a grand brand new and that's without a cover, I'm looking for £600 including the cover, collection from South East London only (includes a cup a coffee) Additional info can be found here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Vanderkley_Amplification.html"]http://www.bassdirec...lification.html[/url] [u]Possible[/u] trades: Basses - MM SR5, Pre 1974 Jazz Bass, Sandberg California 5, Fender Jazz V or Kala U bass. Guitars - Fender Telecaster or decent nylon strung classical. Pedals - D.I./ Pre Amps, Thuminator or quality compressor. R.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400331952' post='2452990'] The stock pups are both the same size (I think) and are approx. 100mm X 17mm not including the lugs. What size are the Barts? [/quote] Just dug the Barts out and they are 57J1 L/S which means they are different lengths for the bridge and neck pups so they will not fit

I was just having a look at the Mooer Pure Boast pedal, it's tiny and has bass and treble controls but I can't seem to find out the frequencies the tone controls work on, it may not be much good with a bass.
