  1. I bought this for a project that never took off, so it has sat largely unplayed, which is a shame as it’s a lot of bass for the money. This is one for those who like to seriously down-tune. Pretty rare, not least that it’s a 35” 4 string. Niche & Awesome lol. It’s currently strung/tuned in Drop B. Features: - Neck-thru-body construction - 35” scale - Mahogany body - 5-piece maple & walnut neck - Ebony fingerboard - Anniversary inlay - EMG 35-DC/P4 active pickups - Volume & balance controls - EMG B64 active EQ - Black hardware - Grover tuners - ESP BB-604 bridge - 24 XJ frets I’ll get a weight asap but it’s pretty decent in my view. It’s in decent condition, but with it being a satin/matte type finish, there is some play-wear and bumps/dings as you’d expect, including some areas that have ‘glossed-up’ through use. I’ve tried to capture any imperfections below. Comes with a very simple gig bag, and as such would prefer collection/meet-up. I’m in High Wycombe. £375 - big price drop just before Christmas. Cheers Si Cheers Si
  2. Indonesia, the changeover was 2008/2009 (both factories were Cort interestingly), so this would be a very early Indonesian build, certainly before the changed the neck specs as mentioned. Si
  3. Hi all, Moving on this fantastic 2008 Lakland 55-02 for a couple of different reasons; I’m primarily a 4 string player and I’m looking to order another Lakland US bass. Last in, first out and all that. This bass is stock, so Lakland LH3 pickups/preamp, as well as the more slimmer thickness neck, before they changed to the more recent chunkier necks. The colour is a solid ‘piano’ black, not a black sparkle like more recent 55-02s. The bass is in great condition, no wear to write home about other than the standard swirling you might see on a 17 year old bass. The input jack has a slight intermittent issue which would be a simple fix for anyone with a soldering iron. Typically I would, but only have lead solder and don’t want to have the fumes with a new baby in the house. Weight wise it’s pretty much bang on 9lbs (see photo). Not unusual for Skylines of this era, but fairly rare of the newer ones. These are the only pictures I have of it so far, will grab a few more tomorrow (along with a post-it haha). Cash is king, but might entertain a Yamaha 235 or Sire P5 5 string in part-ex. Don’t really have the means/brain space to ship it at the moment, so pickup/meetup preferred. I’m in Hazlemere, Bucks, basically High Wycombe. £850 inc basic gig bag if needed. Cheers Si
  4. I can’t think of a brand I’d be less inclined to give my money to! Si
  5. That’s a tough one! The Noble board is my main board and has been for years, so that is just dialed in. The Pedaltrain Nano below it is an attempt to capture a similar vibe and sounds in a smaller footprint for when I’m not taking my full rig out (my amps and Noble board typically live in a packed away flight case). The ‘clean’ board top-right is cool, with the CE-5 being one of the early analogue ones (they’re all digital now), old Octaver too, May ‘82. I often use that board with Jocee. The ‘dirt’ board at the bottom is just for fun at this point, but hopefully will get to apply it to some music at some point, lots of big grindy tones. And the HX Stomp is for when I just need any of the above in a tiny, easy-to-transport package…plus a mic-level DI. All of them, but ultimately, it’s all about the Noble board! Si
  6. I’m not quite sure what you mean, but I like it. It’s 5 separate boards really. Si
  7. Yup, that’s my Fuzzrocious BDPG 🙂 Si
  8. Indeed, that’s not really the issue here though. Si
  9. Yes, now if they’d called them Shreddies, we’d be into DemonFX territory. Si
  10. I sometimes play with a guitarist who heavily relies on sounds from a laptop in a similar setup. Largely fine, but there has been a couple of instances where the laptop has crashed and he’s had to restart it…..which is 3-5mins of particularly awkward space to fill, especially when it’s a private function. It’s not for me lol. Si
  11. It’s a fair question, it’s purely because I want the option to send Mic level, which the Stomp can’t do natively. Si
  12. Need? No…..but where’s the fun in that! 🤣 Updated ‘board family’ pic coming soon. Si
