Telebass

Leo got it 99% right in 1951, upped it to 99.5% in 1957, then added a different flavour in 1960... Anyway you look at it, no-one is [i]capable[/i] of revolutionising it that much... Avtive, woods, other materials - just icing on top of a cake who's fundamental (!) recipe is un likely to be bettered any time soon. Of course I'm biased! But it IS what I think.

Sounded good!

Hi Chris! Also from Devon!

The black one should have a set of covers on it, but they've not both arrived yet. Another pic when they do!

Come on, EVERYONE needs a Precision at some point...! GASGASGAS

[quote name='rjb' post='253135' date='Aug 2 2008, 07:46 AM']How's about their telebass? These look pretty decent indeed for the money..[/quote] EEEK! A TelEB3! Wrong. In so many ways...

Howdy!

Welcome! Back!

You'd never have enough signal. You need the magnet AND all those turns to have enough induction taking place. In addition, there'd be terible problems of frequency response, as stated by mcgraham...

Def a bit slow at the moment...but I have picked up one dep gig for...Boxing Day???

Have got Notepad 2008, and am working on it...It's the timing aspect that is worst; can sort out the actual notes a bit already. That last site looks interesting - thanks!

Title says it all, really. What's the best way for an old fart to learn to read music?

Agreed on the 'too many bells and whistles' front. 'S what I like about the LMII - simple and bombproof. There are always some of anything that simply don't go wrong...long may your amp survive!

Or how about....(large)

Howdy, Carla!

*shivers*

Howdy!

Yup, Simms is another good place for a custom guard.

Depending on how far you stray from the brown shell standard, the first place to check is with Fender. I don't recommend WD or Allparts guards, as they are rarely a good fit. However, it must be said that even Fenders don't fit that well sometimes...

It is, actually - Precisions had a 'narrow neck' optiion for quite a number of years. Def special order, though. There's certainly not that many of them, though...

I'm an electronics tech trained on all things thermionic, from basic audio amps to whole radar systems. I like valves! But compared to a good solid state amp (all considerations of tone aside), they are inefficient and unreliable, and there is, quite literally, no way to change that. If you must have 'that' tone, fine. But expect to a) pay, and keep on paying. No-one who regularly gigs a valve amp should expect to revalve it less often than once a year. In practice, they do last longer if looked after, but that's what you HAVE to plan for. The amp tech's mantra here, for a 100W Marshall, is a fiver a gig at two gigs a month, or one gig a month for a 50Watter. In terms of reliability and cost, solid state is having your cake and eating it. It cannot ever be that way for tubes. But they do sound good!

Howdy! I know just what fun it is to unrot those fingers...
