New Sequential Take 5 portable polyphonic synth
Sibob replied to Quatschmacher's topic in Other Instruments
Correct, Sequential are now part of the Focusrite Group, which is nice haha. Unfortunately I've not tried one yet, Sequential are of course still based in the US and so I haven't seen one in the UK office yet, REALLY want to try one though. Si -
SOLD Hi all, Continuing my little clear-out, I have my excellent CV Squier Mustang Bass for sale. It comes strung with La Bella Mustang Flats, as well as a very good Gruv Gear Edge gig bag. It's a guitar bag, but the Mustang fits perfectly in it, so none of that pesky wasted space. £350 Everything is in excellent condition and I'm only selling as it was serving as a backup to my Serek. I would prefer for a collection/meet-up from Amersham/High Wycombe/Hemel areas, however we could discuss postage at your cost and liability. Cheers Si- 1 reply

Don't discount a well-setup bass too. An analogue Octaver requires a nice clean note to latch onto, hence why people suggest using neck, pickups etc. Rounder, bigger tone for the pedal to grab. Similarly, a buzzy neck will stop an octaver from having a solid no to track. So if you're running a bridge pickup and a low/buzzy action....you're not going to get decent tracking. Si

That’s exactly what Lakland have said, if it’s a 20 or 21 serial number, it’s Rosewood! Si
-
Probably last bump with a one and only reduction to £1650. If no bite, it will likely be sold/part-ex'd elsewhere! Cheers Si -
Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?
-
Thought I was going to be able to buy back my old Lakland 55-01, but the guy I sold it to (who said he would sell it), is currently ghosting me! Lame! Si
-
Fair enough, helpful to know, cheers! Si
-
I think I am leaning now to this being Laurel, however it's possible they've had this for a while and it arrived before Rosewood was such an issue. Si
-
Indeed, however they were Rosewood before the change over. So it's conceivable it could be either. Si
-
Thoughts? Is it Indian Rosewood or Indian Laurel? Shop says it's Rosewood......but thought I'd get some other thoughts. Cheers all Si

If I've understood you correctly, it's a shame that you can't mix the P's and the Mudbucker. I like the idea of the bass for sure, I'd like to see a refined non-signature version perhaps. Single 'normal' P and mudbucker (with the switch going between/blending those) and tidying up the ridiculous fingerboard guff.... I mean who, other than Mr Watt, has double dots on the 5th fret, three on the 12th fret, two on the 17th and wording on the 19th fret? Silly. Anyway, sounds good at least haha, will be awesome with La Bella flats!! Si

Really cool! Si -

@ped Have we lost the Bump feature on sales posts? Also can’t seem to see the mods/admin forums now. Si

Does it have to be Fender? If so (which is fine of course), I'd go Japanese or Limelight. Si
-
Yes Guitar Northwest are great. I had a Precision neck from them for a parts project and it was excellent. They were also very friendly and helpful over email. Si
-
The Lakland website is pretty diabolical, there’s been all sorts of customs runs and Ltd editions etc. For a while they were offering any colour options on the Classics (which typically are just sunburst I think!?). Si
-
Probably not, and that’s the fun of it 😊 My top Precisions at the moment are: ModernVintage Moollon Lakland That’s not including my ‘71 Precision, because that’s just the OG obviously! I’ve tried Olinto’s, but only at a trade show, so I’d really like to get one on a few gigs! One day! Si
-
Very very favourably! I haven’t had them side-by-side yet, tomorrow evening….maybe I’ll do a little video, and they do have very different strings fitted (flats on Moollon, tapes on the MVP4). Build wise there’s not really much between them at all, the MV has the roasted maple vs the vintage tint maple of the Moollon, so depends what aesthetic you prefer, and the Moollon is a very thin Nitro finish compared to the poly finish of the MV, but other than those differences, the fundamental quality is essentially the same I’d say. Si
-
Well funny you say that, the website spec says Indian Rosewood, but it is very dark (it’s lovely), so wondering if it is Ebony, need to confirm with them! Ebony works great on vintage spec instruments as it does look like aged Brazilian Rosewood, it’s what my Moollon has too. Si
-
Definitely not, custom colous always look better with mint/white guards to me. Tort for Olympic White and Sunburst only please! 😊 Si
-
This arrived a couple of days ago direct from Modern Vintage (Rob Elrick & John Files), but I wanted the La Bella Black Nylons on and the bass setup before I posted it. So far I love it, fantastically built bass, sounds great and a neck finish, feel and shape to die for! Loving the finish too, really nice vintage Shell Pink colour with matching headstock! Si

From what I gather, the HB-30's are quite rare at the moment, not many about at all (none I can see in the UK anyway). Certainly they're a much smaller body to the Starfire, more akin to the Mustang, but obviously deeper. I kinda see the HB-30 sitting directly in between the Mustang and the Starfire..... I'd probably buy the HB-30, because i'm a Lakland fan, but the Starfires are very cool Si
