I bought this bass new in 1996 from Thwaites in Watford. Since then it has been upgraded by Bridgewood & Neitzert in London, who altered the angle of the fingerboard providing a far superior action and making it far easier to play. The bass is equipped with a Bridgewood & Nietzert bridge. Included in the sale is a K&K Sound Bass Max transducer pickup which provides an great amplified and recorded sound. I have used this bass professionally and it is the dominant instrument on tracks UD30 and Pookus Dub[/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][/left] [left][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1][font=Arial][size=4][url="http://cleverbunny.bandcamp.com/album/see-thru-pill-album-sampler"]http://cleverbunny.b...l-album-sampler[/url][/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][/left] [left][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1][font=Arial][size=4]you can hear the results by following this link.[/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][/left] [left][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1][font=Arial][size=4]This is a plywood constructed bass with ebony finger board and tailpiece.[/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][/left] [left][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1][font=Arial][size=4]Buyer collection preferred or organise your own courier at your own risk.

  2. Blimey! Those speaker screws are tight - my DeWalt won't budge them and I can't undo them by hand. I've got an impact driver but am afraid I might damage something if I start bashing the screws. Time for some professional intervention. Can anyone recommend someone who could take a look at my cab in the Faversham area - Kent?
  3. I used a multimeter on a speaker cable (one that I know works) plugged into the cab - the ohm reading stayed at '1'. I did the same with my GK cab to check the multimeter and got a reading close to 8 (it's an 8 ohm cab). Therefore there must be a fault with the cab. Next I'll have to check each speaker.
  4. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1324757608' post='1477693'] I don't think there's a fuse in the ABM810, but if there is then it'll be on the reverse side of the connection plate. If you're going to take a look in there then check to make sure that none of the wires from the jack socket are floating around loose - that could cause the whole thing to stop working... [/quote] Yeah thanks, I've had a look in there - no fuse and the wires are all secure.
  5. Thanks for your suggestions. It's not the cable. The amp works thru a different cab. So it must be the cab where the fault lies. What next? Is there a fuse in the cab? I can't see how the speakers could have blown (I was playing very quietly) and the cab is rated at 1200w.
  6. Can anyone suggest a possible cause and solution? I have a 5 year old Ashdown ABM Evo II 900 head going into an ABM 810 cab. Up until yesterday I've never had any problems. However, during a practice session the sound cut out. The power still going to the amp, the VU responding to input etc. I checked the line out signal to another amp and that worked. What should I check? What could be the problem? Thanks, Jamie
  7. Currently listening to Polar Bear, Bad Plus, Led Bib, Wibutee, Medeski Martin & Wood etc No formal jazz training but been playing for 30+ years (a young 44 years old) Plenty of live and studio / recording experience Likes a jam Lives in Faversham, Kent Acoustic double bass with piezo Various electric bass guitars Pro rig Pedals for various degrees of wonkiness, wobbleness and dubbiness Email [email protected] or phone 07957275324 Thanks, Jamie
  8. I dial out the feedback with my old Fishman Dual Parametric EQ. Find the offending frequency then cut it. Like others have said - elevating the amp works for me too.

  10. Hi, I am considering a Schaller bridge for one of my basses. I then discovered a piezo version which Schaller say can be used in a midi set up. Has anyone any experience of these? I have thought about triggering midi devices with a bass for sometime and this could be the answer!
  11. [quote name='Bottle' post='790413' date='Mar 30 2010, 11:14 AM']This might do the job (see attached - just a quick pen 'n' ink sketch). Does depend on how well the pickups are matched - if one has a significantly different impedance, you may have to put a blend pot between the two pickups to balance the volume. Are both pickups single-coil? Also, you'll need a three-way switch - on/on/on with a centre detent. HTH, Ian[/quote] Wow, thanks Ian. Just what I needed. Both pick ups are the standard Sidewinder Humbucker on an EB0. I've got a multimeter, maybe I can check the impedance of the pick ups with that? Cheers.
  12. Hi, I am adding a second pick up to an EBO bass, but just want to keep the controls simple - using existing volume and tone pots - just adding a 3 way selector for neck / both / bridge. Please can any electrical types help me with a diagram. Thanks.
