I've got one of their P necks on the bitsa I'm selling and it's really good. Nice maple, really nice Rosewood, solid, holds it's setup. Great Si

Why don’t you just send the mix-engineers you know to this thread? That way, they can learn, and you can do less work. 😉 Si

Ask Carey on socials? He’s pretty active on Instagram Si

But if you don’t know how the rest of the mix is being set up by the mix-engineer....how do you know what needs ‘fixing’. Their ability is redundant at this point, the point is not to second-guess what you think they want from the bass....THEY might not even know at this point, as nothing else is mixed yet either. Si

In my opinion as someone who has done a fair amount of remote recording, the less you do to the stem, the better. Unless there is a specific part of the brief that says 'make it sound like an SVT', I'd be recording DI (as you are), and letting whoever is mixing the piece do whatever they need to, whether that's re-amping it, or using an amp/cab-sim on your track. To me, there's little point in mixing a great bass tone, only to then send that to the mix-engineer and it not fit well in their mix. Si

You sound surprised lol I’ve owned a couple of BB’s before, 614’s and 615’s. Si

Decided to do a little Google of 1983 BB’s (because it’s a solid birth-year bass), and this wonderful BB3000 popped up, was for sale here for a bit! Would like like an ‘83 BB3000 to fill that BB/birth-year hole in my life haha Si

SOLD Moving on my OG Dark Driving. Now discontinued, this is a bass-tuned overdrive draws its roots firmly from the Blueberry Bass Overdrive. Also excellent on guitar. Excellent condition, never gigged. No trades thanks. Postage is £5 or collection from Amersham/Wycombe areas SOLD Si -
I've owned a couple of Marusczyk's, and they're ok, if you pimp it out with decent Hipsot hardware, then it'll be on the way. But I didn't really get the feeling from those basses that they're doing anything particularly special. Fender, yeah fine, their QC has gotten WAY better over the last 5 years or so. But I find their new basses just a little bit uninspiring, I couldn't tell you why. Sandberg, similar deal, clearly got a lot going for them, lots of love, but they have just never done anything for me really. Where I settled was Lakland, in my opinion, their Skylines are on-par with US Fender stuff, and if you have the budget to move into their US Custom stuff, the necks are wonderful as well as a full pallet of custom options. You said you've checked them before, but was that one of their active models? Worth bearing in mind that they do make straight P and J passive models too. Still a family-run company too. I think the only place I'd go after Lakland would be G&L, they seem to be very decent for the price, even if they are a mild deviation from the 'Fender' aesthetic. Si

Fave 'heavy' band is The Dillinger Escape plan probably, but heaviest I go is probably something like John Frum: Si

Oh no.....I had my Lakland DJ5 set up properly, and now I don't want to sell it!! 😅

If only it was their short-scale version These are lovely though Si -
Thanks but Warwicks aren't my bag Cheers Si
-
No trades I'm afraid, unless you randomly have a Lakland Hollowbody short-scale (HB-30) hanging around. Cheers Si

Great bass and a great seller! All the confidence! Si

Price drops Si

And to add to the Elrick love, here’s my NJS5 which effectively replaced the bass I sold to @Al Krow, because black: Effectively the same bass, but with ‘Jazz’ aesthetics and the switches on push/pull knobs. Si

SOLD I bought this in January 2020, it came out on 1 gig with me, and then of course the end-times happened. So, basically new, mint condition, still has the box etc. While I'm looking to reduce my gear currently, I might be tempted by a Little Mark 2 in p/x. This is the GR Bass 'pure' amp. It's essentially their power amp, with a gain stage (so you can plug in your bass directly), but with no EQ, so great for those using preamps on their board or bass etc. More info here: https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/pure-amp-800/ SOLD We can talk about postage at your cost/risk, otherwise collection/meetup around Hemel Hempstead/High Wycombe areas. Cheers Si -
If you can find a set, I’d go for the Bartolini B-Axis P/J set. If not, I’d go Dimarzio Model P & J Si
-
How do their satin finishes wear? I imagine they might be more susceptible to bumps and scrapes? Lovely collection! Si

SOLD Mild deja-vu here, as I sold one of these, albeit different colour, a few years ago (to great regret as some of you might know haha), however I need to sell either my DJ5 or this, so while I'm not sure I want rid of this 55-01, the first one to go...the other stays. This is an excellent condition 2010 Lakland Skyline 55-01, and has upgraded pickups and electronics. It's been fitted with US Bartolini Dual Coils and Bartolini's 3 band, active/passive NTMB circuit, the same as in many high-end boutique basses. That's around £350 worth of upgraded electronics, not including fitting/setup etc. Lakland Skylines typically don’t come with a case, this will come with a simple gigbag/cover, or for an extra £50, a Fusion Urban gigbag in excellent condition. Weight comes in at approx 9.3lbs on my kitchen scales. Balances beautifully. It's currently strung with La Bella Gold White Nylon Tapewounds. Although I can switch these out for some La Bella RX 45-105 steels if preferred. The bass will almost certainly want a setup if we do that though. I'm pretty firm on the price due to the work done on the bass. No trades I'm afraid, unless you randomly have a Lakland Hollowbody short-scale (HB-30) hanging around. Would prefer safe collection/meetup in Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe areas. Can discuss postage at your expense & risk (I would then recommend the added Fusion gigbag). SOLD Many thanks Si
