NickA Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Hey folks look at the knobs on this!!!!!!!https://www.ebay.co....ckAAOSw0xRZoy7F Ebony, carbon, ebony, yet more ebony and more electronics than you could shake a soldering iron at. Bit pricey tho. Edited November 19, 2017 by HazBeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I was expecting the new Mark King Status - but that only has 7 knobs and a few switches. Sometimes more is NOT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Good that Rick Turner could be bothered to reply.....I spent 2 years waiting for a response from him and I was prepared to pay him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 As a general rule of thumb, if it's got more knobs than strings then you're a technician, not a bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) The "Bass played on The Chain" seems to be up for sale quite regularly. I suppose people buy it and then spend a few months trying to find the settings to get [i]the[/i] sound and then give up in frustration and sell it on!

oldslapper Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Is it my imagination, but pic 12 shows a poor neck joint finish? Just noticed that there are 4 holes on one of the back plates, presumably for "trim pots"...just in case you still can't get the tone you want for the next song....😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I remember when Performance bikes reviewed the first GSXR with fully adjustable suspension. It went along the lines of ‘provides the opportunity for an individual to set up the bike to their personal perfection, but in the real world all the knobs will be turned by a guy called Kevin and you will end up with a bike that handles like a complete dog’. This strikes me a bit like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 You've all missed the point. T[size=4]h[/size][size=4]ose aren't control knobs, each represents one note in a scale and you play them by tapping the knobs with your right hand while tapping (in a slightly different way) the strings with your left hand.[/size] What appears to be a pickup selector is actually a rotary knob which allows you to choose which key the 'knobs' play in.

T-Bay Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 If you look at the link and the controls it’s a bit tongue in cheek, the increase hair growth rate and call waiter controls had me chuckle a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 And did you find one? The entire preamp must still be somewhere in the house as I removed it to have a "playable" bass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
