    SOLD Amazing preamp pedal, and in the newer/better fabricated enclosure. To the point where I picked this up from the first batch of new enclosures at Winter NAMM 2020, with the serial noted on the box as NAMM001. Gigged once, other than that it’s been stashed away as I’ve simply been using my Noble for everything. As such, aside from the velcro on the base, you’re getting an ‘as new’ pedal, boxed, manual, stickers etc etc. Info from the website: The Minnow is a high quality, low noise bass preamp DI pedal equipped with our Bullhead EQ section. This single channel Bullhead preamp features shelving EQ’s for the BASS and TREBLE controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the LO MID and HI MID. A selectable mid frequency for both LO MID and HI MID controls provide complete control over the midrange. We’ve also added HI SHIFT to the treble frequency to further tune the cut/boost capability of the treble control. In addition, the Minnow preamp includes a tuner out for silent tuning and a balanced XLR output for use as a DI, great for both live and studio use. Minnow Specifications: Pre-Amp: Low noise solid state Instrument Input: ¼’ Phone with rotary gain control Input Level Indicator: Signal level and Clip LEDs (green/red) EQ: 4 Band with switchable Mid Shelving Bass and Treble Low-Mid and Hi–Mid -Variable Gain, Band Pass EQ with selectable frequency/bandwidth options Hi-Shift treble frequency selection Master Volume: Rotary Control EQ On/Off Footswitch Mute Footswitch Tuner Out: ¼” Phone jack Amp Out: ¼” Phone jack Direct Out: 600 Ohm Balanced XLR, Pre/Post, and Ground Lift Power Supply (Not Included): Switch-Mode Power Supply, Output 12V (0.5A) Chassis: Steel Removable Rubber Feet: Adhesive backed Size: (H x W x D in.) 6.05″ x 4.85″ x 1.73″ (H x W x D mm) 153.8mm x 123.4mm x 44.1mm Weight: 1.81 lbs. No power supply (see spec above), I just ran it brilliantly from a Cioks DC5. Postage £7 or collection from Amersham/Wycombe areas. Cheers Si

    Back up for sale with some specific part-ex options. Let’s get me a Spector 😁 Si

    I’d say that’s equally down to the guitar tech, they’d have all the guitar changes written down too. Oh well, all of a 10 second divert. Si

    Has anyone used a BB234 in lower tunings? Probably strung BEAD or up from there to C# standard? How does the neck hold up? Nice and stable for a cheap bass? Si
  5. Sibob
    Just another mention about how amazing Lakland necks are! Si
  6. Sibob
    Saw this and immediately thought this bass would look mint with an ebony top! On the rest of the build, looking awesome so far, Mike is so quick haha! Whereabouts are you now @Cosmicrain? Last time I popped to see you was in Witham….long time ago! Si

    Decent enough body (as it's been for the last 40 years), but that neck is hideous! All the wrong spec! 🤢 (other than the 30", shortscale is fine) Si
  8. Sibob
    Fortunately Rob was smart enough to do the Elrick one himself, and have Daric get involved too: Si

    If anyone likes original soul/r&b/pop type vibes, we're playing at Chealsea's Pizza Express Live venue, the Pheasantry. Thurs 21st Apr 2022. Tickets here: https://www.pizzaexpresslive.com/whats-on/jocee Have a listen here: Cheers Si

    Interesting on the Elrick front, I think I remember speaking to Rob about something happening with the 'Expat' range, wonder if this was it. That said, the Czech made NJS's are still handmade, but I wonder if these Cort ones will eventually supersede them. Spec wise, they look to be largely the same as the Czech built NJS's, but different bridge and no US Bart pickups, I'll wager that the Hipshots are licensed too, minor step down from the US Hipshots on the Czech NJS's. Nothing wrong with any of that at all, but as someone mentioned above, with the current NJS's fetching around $3k, I'd expect the Cort ones to sit around £1200-£1500 maybe? I bet they're fantastic basses in any case, got a lot of time for Cort built stuff! Si

    I might be alone in this, but would you also consider adding full size ‘fender’/elephant ear/paddle tuners? I’ve always felt that Y tuners make hollow body basses look a bit…..not quite right, they’re not of the right time/vibe imo. Si
  12. Sibob
    Winding isn't all of it, it's core size/shape too. Talk to Newtone Strings here in the UK, they'll be able to wind you a custom set of strings that have an appropriate tension for the tuning you need. Whether your P-bass neck can take that tension is another question, should be fine, but therein often lies the benefit of multi-scale basses or other more specialist/custom neck specs. Si

    SR5’s are 17.5mm aren’t they? Stunning bass though, Alan is one of the best! I’d like another someday. Si
  14. Sibob
    Yes, I remember a few people talking about these a while ago. The baby Sumo also looks similarly powered to many Class D amps in our sphere. Si
  15. Sibob
    That’s why I was quite interested in gigging the new Markbass power amp: http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/little-mark-vintage-amp-1000/ I had GR Amps equivalent, which sounded ok, but the fan was very loud imo. Si
  16. Sibob
    100%, I bought it used as the sentiment was good around them, just ended up not being for me. Si
  17. Sibob
    I couldn’t sell mine quick enough, horrible thing haha. YMMV as always. Si
  18. Sibob
    I had a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 for a little while once, awful amp. Underpowered and couldn't get a decent tone out of it no matter what I tried. Not to mention it's Gain, Volume and Master control setup. I understand gain-staging, but come on! Si
  19. Sibob
    Nothing further to add I'm afraid. I didn't move on the Trickfish cabs and stuck with my Barefaced setup, which I know I love. I would have been changing for the sake of it. I wouldn't rule them out if I was forced to buy something new though. Si

    I don’t think anyone is saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to express their views, but freedom of speech is not freedoms from consequence. Say something that the majority believe to be abhorrent, as is one’s right, get excommunicated by the very nature of a majority not wanting anything to do with you. Si
  21. Sibob
    Just the skewed reaction was fascinating, nothing more. Si
  22. Sibob
    But you honestly see a difference between how you’ve communicated your ‘extreme boredom’ and when others standing up for what they believe? It reads like you put yourself above them in some hierarchy because they’re ‘offended’ (your words, not theirs) about sexism in this case, but when it comes to you literally shouting about it on a forum, that’s ok, you’re just extremely bored?! Colour me fascinated. Si
  23. Sibob
    All about these two for me: Although I would have put a dark fingerboard on the gold one! Si
  24. Sibob
    A reverse headstock? A left-handed neck essentially? If so that limits your options a fair bit, further than just buying some import from ebay. Probably your best bet is just a left-handed Fender placement like this: https://richtonemusic.co.uk/fender-player-series-precision-bass-lh-neck-22-medium-jumbo-frets-9-5-maple/?gclid=CjwKCAiA4KaRBhBdEiwAZi1zztKliyXQvL0KSy9aSCLsUDq9jowkqU7lU2K4e8Z7-b5ECeIC14SZFRoC9M0QAvD_BwE Cheers Si

    Letting us know the preferred specs would greatly aid in people giving advice Si
