  1. Yes. Melodyne is very good. I haven’t tried AutoTune yet 🫣 Getting used to it- I had a Harley Benton short scale fretless that sounded wonderful, but seeing as I’m trying to play upright bass as well, the jump in scale lengths was one step too far and the more I played one if them, the more out of tune I seemed to get on the other! Everything seems to fall into place easier for me on the standard scale fretless. That said, playing along to other tracks still show that there’s work to be done! One thing I find helps quite is to ensure that you’re playing your FRETTED bass on top of/just behind the fret - ie. at essentially the correct position for a fretless. Muscle memory becomes much easier then, as you don’t have to change your technique as much when switching basses.
  2. Actually, since you have a high post count and a little trust isn’t a bad thing… do you want me to post it to you, and if it fits you can pay, or else send it back?
  3. I have no idea… mine is an American Special from around 2012. I know I bought an aftermarket Fender plate for my 90s MIM Jazz, and that fit, but not sure if that’s the case with Ps too. If someone comes into the studio with a MIM soon I’ll try and find out!
  4. Thanks, Yeah, I was thinking it would be much bigger than the Ampeg. If I were to buy it would be to stay in the studio (and to entice bass players to the studio! Although the V4B does a decent job of that too!) I think I’ll pass though, good luck!
  5. Thanks. I almost bought a Pf20T and cab today but it fell through. I had one, liked it and really regret selling it. Has anybody used the Ashdown and Ampeg? Is the Ashdown a clear step up? The one thing I’d really miss on the Ashdown is the ability to use the Ampeg as a very posh DI without the cab.
  6. Ok I’m tempted… does anyone have an idea how much it would cost to get such a thing hauled across England to north Wales?! And are they just styled after the B15, or are going for that sound as well?
  7. Well, to answer my own question, I tried the 3 they had at Wunjo’s in Denmark St yesterday, and walked out with one. I was very impressed, sounded beautiful, and the weight, feel, sound and build quality were very consistent between the three. Also a shout out to the excellent and patient service at Wunjo, even on a busy saturday. They currently have the Casady fretless at £649, which is cheaper than anywhere else I can see.
  8. Two Klark Teknik CT1 inline mic boosters for dynamic and ribbon mics. £30 delivered.
  9. Boxed as new. Stereo Big Muff Pi than can be used as a ‘hardware plugin’- ie. routed from DAW through the pedal for recallable analog fuzz in your DAW. Also works as a conventional (stereo) Big Muff. Very neat! £200 delivered
  10. Instrument/amp selector £20 delivered

  11. Simple slapback echo £20 delivered
  12. A bit road-worn and missing one knob and the runner feet, but otherwise working great. £70 delivered
  13. The mics will be fine. Ribbon mics with conventional XLR wiring are also perfectly fine with phantom power as long as nothing’s faulty- it’s become a bit of an internet myth that phantom power WILL break ribbons! XLR outputs from other equipment is a different story - some (most, perhaps) are fine being connected to an input with ohantom power present, while some don’t like it. I’ve seen a few digital mixers shut down when their outputs are connected to an inout with phantom, and I’ve some some older equipments outputs go bust. It will PROBABLY be fine, but it’s safer to use the jack inputs* if you can (or a t transformer isolation box/phantom blocker) *Phantom power should not be present at the jack inputs, and this is true in most cases with properly designed equipment, but sometimes, on some equipment using XLR/jack combi inputs, the phantom can be present on the jack input. Always best to check!
