    Loads of great ideas & advice, thanks guys. If it's still here after the weekend I'm going go try a couple of the suggestions, nowt to lose, possibly a lot to gain. You know that bass that don't work properly, you sit it in the corner out of the way but you can FEEL it looking at you 😆

    Ooooh, there's a thought. Another star, thanks Vin, that's something I'd never have thought of, but I've read about it in the past. My memories not, er, what was I saying (I'm here all week, the government insists 😆).

    Firstly, WALSHY, you're a star! Bassman, the relief is around 1/32" at the high point. I've had the neck off twice & tightened it. The truss rod MAY move a little more, but it's tight & I don't want to put anymore pressure on the screw. Doing a shim will only push the neck up at the heel, it won't alter the relief??

    You Walshy, are a legend, thanks so much Paul, way above the call mate. Stay safe.

    Wanted one of these because of the neck dimensions & pickup, I gave £800 in trade against a more expensive bass. Quick, windy & wet car park meet, he said he had the action high cos he played hard with a pick. Hmmm. Anyway, not sure if the neck is twisted/warped, or truss rod is maxxed out, hence the price (remember this cost me the equivalent of £800 + fuel, in the days we could drive). Pictures are dreadful, but action is 4/32 at 12th fret on bass & treble side. IF (BIG IF) you do like a high action, you may well be getting a bargain! IF YOU have great luthier skills (or a spare neck in your bits box 😆) you may be getting a bargain. 2013 model, one of the first. Light at 8lb 12oz. Gator style hard case included, I have the FF plate somewhere. UK courier only, BUYER TO ORGANISE & PAY. Payment by either bank transfer or PayPal family & friends. My feedback shows I won't stiff anybody (linked below). Sorry, unusually I'm not open to any negotiation on this one, I'm losing a bloody fortune. It won't be up for very long as I'm really thinking about throwing more money at it & getting a maple boarded jazz neck. Thanks for looking & please stay safe, cheers, Karl.

    E mail from guitarist, 3 more to learn Man of the world, Fleetwood Mac Fool for the bright lights, Climax Blues band The Ocean, Led Zepp. 7/8 time. WTF is 7/8 ???? 😆

    @Deedee I really do like the D800. Even more so now. I started a bass share gig (alternate weekends with main bassist) & did my 1st two gigs the weekend before the pubs shut. This band is superb, being going years. I did the sound check etc, through FOH, monitors etc, they are LOUD but a kinda clear loud. Despite bricking it (two sets, no rehearsals with them, learn stuff at home) about 3rd number in I had a ridiculous grin on my face. You see, for the first time I'd actually had to wind my rig up past halfway on the master & 9 o'clock on the gain. The Mesa, with my 2 Orange OBC112's. It punched me in the gut, the trousers were a flappin' & the stage was a bouncin'. FABULOUS 😁

    I've moved on to the next on the guitarists list. AC/DC Down Payment Blues. Dear God, I do hate AC/DC stuff.

    I had 27 to learn in 2 weeks for a bass share gig (main bassist one weekend, me the next). Did the first 2 gigs the week before close down. Guitarist has sent me another 7 to learn lol. One of them is Zep'd Ramble On REALLY not my style😮. More like struggle on 😋 Oh, and they don't do rehearsals.

    I tried a couple of the Performer series about 18 months ago. These pups were standard. Opinion only but to me they were a little weak & underwhelming.

    Daft bugger, you know what I meant. 😆

    Really, shouldn't sales be DELIVERY only at this time? Mods?

    I changed to "buyer arrange shipping" a couple of years back. This was when shipping costs rocketed, for example, a £1200 bass was going to cost over £70 insured from Wigan to London. The buyer didn't want to pay that so I offered them the chance to book their own, save some money AND TAKE THE RISK FOR THAT. They declined. I know when I send a bass it will be very well packed and as per photos in the advert. I also take photos of the packing process. I don't want to be tied up with; A. Chasing courier up because it's gone AWOL B. Spend months trying to get my money back from a courier who has charged me to insure they have dove the job I paid for!!!🤬 C. Both are exacerbated if outside of UK. In the UK theoretically I could (well, not for the next 3 weeks) get in my car, drive to the UK HO of the courier & cause them some grief! So, if you can't come to my house or meet up half way......................

    ^^^^^^^^^^ Thought he might, but poor lad timing isn't going to help. http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/GR_Bass_Cabinets.html

    Yup, standard PB 62 from late 80s early 90s, hootenanny, that neck plate seen quite a few before, the serial number under the made in Japan will be one letter 6 numbers. Probably non export.

    Black or Lava Red?

    Chorus with page 1 allround half way round and a cut on 400hz on page 2. Near enough for the 1st hour of pratting about whilst I try to figure out how to use it.
  23. karlfer
    Sussed with the aid of a MS-60B, thanks folks. Mind it's the only effect I've managed to figure out & no idea how to save it, or put it on one of the empty numbers after the phase/hintofphil/owl sorta stuff 😂
  24. karlfer
    Yeah, but what about the GELF I ask?
  25. karlfer
    Like yer style Jack me lad 😁 No I don't have any effects, never used any but if I can get something for this one piece, I'll use it. And sell it when I get fired after 2 gigs 😭
