    No, sorry. Still just looking to cash it in.

    A good two hours in a hired room. Five new original tunes to be worked into the set for an upcoming gig on the 2nd. Punk/pop originals. Many rehearsal rooms in NYC are pretty run down but this place is plush; top-shelf gear, really good sounding rooms with good PA and a crew that actually knows their stuff. The bass rig was a Bergantino head and 3x10 cabinet. Very uptown stuff. It’s a pleasure to play there. Our bandleader/songwriter’s songs aren’t overly complex so the new songs came together quickly and we’ll clean them up further at one more rehearsal before the show. One of the guitarists had to miss our last rehearsal so it was good to have the whole band at this one. I took out the Rickenbacker again after a long stint of playing Fenders and I always need a little time to get used to the Ric and its quirks so I had to really pay attention to what I was doing. I mostly pulled it off…. Tonight I’ll be rehearsing with a different band in Brooklyn for a show on the 3rd. Their studio is a dump and a nuisance to get to so it will be a very different experience than last night’s. They’re nice folks, though, so it’s all good. I’ll stick with the Rickenbacker until both shows are over so my brain doesn’t break.

    Thought I’d lower the tone of all these super nice NBDs with a lowly Toby! Played the perfect Toby Pro in 1996 or so, but couldn’t afford it. Bought a lovely example from @AndyTravis a while ago, but didn’t gel with it like that one back in the 90’s. Sort of forgot about this Deluxe I bought off fleabay about 15 years ago. Leant it to my wife’s cousin years ago, but as he wasn’t using it he returned it to me. A little bit dusty and unloved, but a quick polish and a tweak of the truss rod has it sorted. Will need to investigate the electronics as battery that expired 11 years ago had leaked! Might pull out the preamp and wire it passive, too. I don’t know loads about actives, so any comment on the at plan are welcome.

    Chrishi_J replied to Kev's topic in Effects

    They have added a Block List on their Website. My Anagram arrived and I don´t know if I got a faulty unit. The IR Loader is not working. I just got really heavy distortion out of it.

    I'm familiar with Pinky & The Brain. I saw a post the other day when someone said that they'd be willing to hear Brain's plans, to which someone astutely responded that at this point they'd be willing to hear Pinky's!

    You can, and you can always opt to not accept them at the point of collection/delivery whereupon the person bringing the stuff will invariably process your refund on the spot.

    Pretty good rehearsal on Sunday (yes, I'm a bit late), and I think we have our two new tunes almost nailed. We had a bit of a chat about more new tunes but I don't think certain members of the band have much ambition in terms of what we should add to our set list. A number of absolute bangers (e.g. Go Your Own Way, or anything by Oasis) have been dismissed out of hand because the singer is vehemently opposed, so we're reduced to now learning a couple of plodders by Tears For Fears and Somewhere In My Heart by Aztec Camera, none of which I think will exactly get people in a party mood. Ah well, I'll have to put more effort in, because the last song I proposed (Two Tribes) is now a well-established crowd and band favourite. The seeming tradition of arranging rehearsals on holidays continues, as after having one on Easter Sunday the next date we can all do before our next gig in August is on Fathers Day.

    Absolute pleasure, Franz. Good luck with the gig, Chris!! Pete

    Alan has an excellent supply of ash for necks - this will be my third! I find it gives a deeper and more rounded tone than maple, then combined with the ebony you get a beautiful rich harmonic content across the octaves. Will try to do a demo soon 🤓
  19. Mottlefeeder
    Yes, that's the plan. Most of my busking is done on 240v from street furniture or battery power packs provided by the event organisers. For those I would use the Meanwell power supply. Where there is no 240v supply I would need a little under 2 × 7AHr batteries to run for the 5 hour set. For open mic nights, and / or Victorian pubs where the only power socket is on the wrong side of a gangway, I can play for a couple of hours on one battery. For 'acoustic' rehearsals and the like, the smaller amp and battery will reduce the weight by about a third. David

    I saw an animation as a kid where an elf painted chessboards with checkered paint. Boy, that was quick!

    Some very interesting wood choices there (at least in my limited experience). The holly is unique, but it’s the ash neck which has really caught my eye! A very handsome bass overall. Looking forward to a report once you’ve settled in with it.

    It's actually three middle 12s rather than one. My song writing skills are still developing (to put it mildly), so it's all a it long

    Ha ha you and me both mate, their poor tech has saved me a fortune, which in a roundabout way of course has also saved you a fortune 😁

    Oooof, beautiful.

    I agree, the IE100's feel a little nicer in the ear, but the 400's sound a little nicer. id happily use either if I had to, but since I found the right fit of Comply tips my GAS for customs has 100% gone. I think I remember you posting about that. I didnt know the 400's had been discontinued. Hmm, tempted to get a spare pair, but above, id happily use 100's if I had to.

    People complained the 4003 had sharp corners, an obtuse bridge, noisy pickups, and a selection of other gripes. Rickenbacker produced the 4004 with rounded edges, a Schaller 3D bridge, humbuckers. People complained it wasn't a 4003 and didn't buy it.
  30. Woodinblack
    A decent hifi with very small speakers! Thats impressive, I took a Phil Jones bass BG75 and you really couldn't hear it above the drums, it was pretty well useless for that. I am guessing in a cafe with a cajon it would be fine so that people could sit at their tables and still talk to each other. I would say however, when I am practicing I tend to just use a bam 200 into a 10" gnome speaker, which is about 100W - flat out but it does punch through fine. I use the same live, but most of the bass is in the PA, and speaker is just for the rest of the band who don't wear IEMs to hear.

  33. 40hz started following 1995 Warwick Streamer Bolt-On 5-String
  34. 40hz
    Hi All, Here we have my 1995 Warwick Streamer Bolt-On. Selling as I want to move back to 4's. These were a higher end precursor to the LX series, that have the original, and much curvier body shape just like the Stage 2. It was built in May/June of 1995 in Germany. Has a French Cherry Wood body, 7-piece laminate neck of Maple and Bubinga stringers with a Wenge fingerboard replete with Bell Brass frets. Pickups are twin MEC Jazz pickups with a 2-Band MEC preamp with push/pull passive switching. Tonally it's got bags of that growl as you would expect, with a very focused/compressed tone - in short, the Warwick tone. The treble control acts to my ears more like a tone control, from piercingly hi-fi and trebly to the smoother punchier sound a la Stuart Zender. Condition is 8.5 out of 10. It's a 30 year old bass but has worn it's miles incredibly well, You'd struggle to find a Warwick of this age in equally as good condition. Only thing to report is some slight shrinkage of the maple in the neck which means the middle Bubinga stringer in the neck, near the headstock, sits about a half a MM proud - again, super common with Warwicks, all my others have had this. It's recently had £400 spent getting it road ready, with a brand new setup, brand new truss rod, fret work and new input jack. Weight is a superb 3.8kg Does not come with a case. Collection from Moreton in Marsh located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily drive wherever for a handover if required. My feedback attests to this! I won't post due to value and poor previous experiences in doing so. Any further questions please ask! Thanks for looking!
