Guest Marcoelwray Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 @BreadBin Thanks for these videos! I found that my bass sounded very different of what I've already heard.... Maybe the natural reverb? I noticed that a lot of people play with twin jazz selector down. Theoretically, that's series, worst mode to me. Up it's parallel, very much more articulated sound, punchy and clean, middle is single coil (I mean 1 jazz), more for jazzy nosy sounds... When you play it alone, it's a world of difference! Who's next? Thanks again! Quote
BreadBin Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 I was surprised by the reverb on the videos as it wasn't so obvious in the room, maybe to do with the frequencies the camera picks up? The true sound was deeper with less top end. Someone else must want to try this out? I have 3 days off this week and am happy to meet up somewhere within an hour or so drive. Or do we send it back to Tim to continue the love affair?! Quote

Grangur Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Is it possible that others may be thinking they don't have much more to add to the comments that have already been made? So if the following don't respond, maybe it's time for the bass to go back home? @TrevorR - Staines, Middx @Bridgehouse - Peterborough, Leicester/Nottinghamshire @Geek99 - Coalville, Leicester @honza992 - Nottingham @Vinny - Wales Quote
Vinny Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Where is it currently? I can maybe get to north Staffs over the next few days. Quote
BreadBin Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 It's in Trowbridge, Wilts. I am happy to drive for an hour or so if it helps Quote
Grangur Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 If it helps, I can probably get down to Wilts/Devon again in 3-5 (approx) weeks. I can collect the bass and get it to @TrevorR. Regrettably I don't have cause to travel much north of Huntingdon these days. Quote

Bridgehouse Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I’m playing bass at an organised jam on 24th November in Leicester which I could take it to and there will be half a dozen bass players there who could try - would be video’d too.. if that’s of interest 1 Quote

Expand See the problem is, if I like this bass I might get you to do a fretless one If someone can get it over to me before the 24th Nov then I'll take it to the Jam and let loads of people have a go on it.

Grangur Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 It's a bit late now but something I had thought of, was if all who played it left a small donation in the case, this would crowd-fund the times someone needs to send it by courier. Quote

Bridgehouse Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Given it's current schedule, is there a way to get it near(ish) to me by 24th Nov? Quote

Grangur Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 That is very good of you @Marcoelwray I get back to the UK on 5th November. It would be at least a week before I can get to the south. So, there is a chance, but posting it would make it more certain. On the idea of photos; iconic picture ideas I've had are taking the bass with: Black cab/taxi. Red phone box. Stone miles distance sign. Football stadium of a well know team... Quote
Guest Marcoelwray Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Nice ideas Rich! The question is, who's next? There's no rush here .... 😕 If one of you want to get it back a whil it's OK I'll pay the send costs to @BreadBin Quote
