Schecter J4 Sea Foam - £425 (reduced to fund GAS) - *WITHDRAWN*
MrDinsdale replied to MrDinsdale's topic in Basses For Sale

First up, absolutely love this bass, but dream bass came up so selling some stuff to try and justify a purchase. The best Jazz bass Ive tried, every preferred to my mates American jazz. The neck is excellent. Its had a couple of dings on the body but nothing substantial. All set up well and plays great, could go lower. Photos all suck but will try and upload some better ones tomorrow when lighting is better. For full specs see https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/181213336008008--schecter-j-4-maple-fb-sea-foam-green Price drop - £425 Shipping available, collection preferred

Haha I was trying to sing along (badly) to Science of selling yourself short yesterday which is on the easier side bass-wise and it was an omnishambles 🤣

I was always a big fan when I was younger, rediscovered them after introducing my daughter to them. I think I learned My Best Friends are Metalheads back in the day very sloppily, figured it might be a little easier to learn now but I was wrong 🤣

I do my best 🤣

I'm working through some Less Than Jake songs, Roger is a monster bass player.

Well Im grabbing some pickups for my Schecter J4. Was never an issue with the band I was in as it was all pick, now I'm using it for finger style stuff I'm finding them a little uncomfortable so time for an upgrade. Shame I couldn't make the end of Feb but can't turn them down! Longest I've gone without a bass purchase in ages!

Another band with the same name?
MrDinsdale replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
We had a similar issue, took us ages to settle on a name, we got some logos made up etc. The first of our gigs lined up was opening for an all day music festival, turns out the guy running it had invited an indie band from Manchester we'd missed when researching. He had to send them a really awkward message explaining the mix up. Felt horrible, they were apparently really excited albeit confused as to why a small indie band had been invited to a punk all-dayer. 🤣 -

Kind of reluctant to get rid as they're excellent but making an effort to stick to the Quad Cortex where possible. While the built in compressors aren't as good, I use them so sparingly that its hard to justify the money and board real-estate. Origin Cali76 Bass Compressor - SOLD Origin DCX Bass - SOLD Darkglass Element - £120 All with boxes and include shipping. Let me know if you have any questions! DarkGlass Element

They're great, hopefully this means more ongoing support and updates!

Phwore! 🔥🔥🔥

I use a Cioks + Crux, which is a little overkill but really handy as I also have a couple of pedals that benefit from 18v. It's excellent, though.

Apologies for the picture quality! I've been meaning to try the ipad with the QC for a while as somewhat portable recording set up, handy now I can't use my work laptop for logic any more. First time I've tried Logic on the ipad but pretty impressed at how easy it was to jump into. I didn't feel particularly restricted compared to the full desktop version. Just need a way to mount an ipad stand to the back of my board and then I'm sorted 🙌
-
That's ace, really tried but struggled to get anything dialled that i liked. I didn't have a filter pedal to compare with though which didn't help!
-
It was an exaggeration of the cognitive leaps folks had spent a page discussing and the weighing up between a minimalistic set up that does the bare minimum well vs an elaborate set up that does everything.
-
Good luck! I just like geeking out with gear, the QC has enough depth to allow exploration but without being overwhelming like I found the MOD Dwarf. The Nano Cortex is a great deal, I keep eying it up 🤣
-
Ahhh yeah, our daughter is in her first year of school now, but it never seems to stop being expensive! Keeping the QC means I'm not spending a bunch of cash on pedals, though so not selling it is practically making me money surely?
-
Hahaha yeah I'm very familiar with that! The QC does everything I need and is the first multi-fx where I've managed to dial in a tone that was almost exactly what I wanted within minutes of turning it on. In a side-by-side comparison, some of my separate pedals do just sound better to my ears but not enough to be a deal breaker, fortunately the QC has enough routing options that I can easily bolster it's effects lineup with a couple of faves.
-
Aye, I'm mostly in the same boat here. I did buy a Cali76 and a few other bits, so it's not entirely GAS-free, but every time I switch back to the QC built-in stuff, I'm pretty impressed. My longing for expensive pedals is mainly gone and when I hear something I like, I can usually replicate a sound in the right ballpark via the QC.
-
Yeah, that'd definitely be possible. Add a little spread and EQ and I think you'll have something usable. With all the parallel processing, the GTCore shines in stuff like this.
-
Simmer down, it was clearly said in jest in context of the ongoing discussion 😂
-
If I play with the QC too much and experiment I feel like I’m spending too much time playing with patches rather than playing bass/guitar. If I don’t spend time faffing and just stick to my saved patches I’m talking about getting rid of it because I don’t make the most out of it. It can't win really 🤣
