Clearly the pickguard was a bit of an afterthought,,,

Leo Fender got it right this time :-)

Why are you wanting to rewire for 2 Ohms if you think it will lose power? I presume you're doing this so that your amp will make more power into the new configuration?

plus Clavinovas take a real hit in value second hand, especially the high end ones.. I was looking around recently for a replacement for my CLP270 so have a feel for the market... Somewhere between 2.2k and 2.5k I would expect..

Sandberg vm4 ?

Plenty on talkbass..

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1482423874' post='3200484'] This is probably where I got my thinking a bit back-to-front - I was thinking about the tonal variations afforded by a Strat, and how many bassists like to "sculpt" their tone, but then of course a decent active EQ could achieve the same breadth of results and a lot more in-between! (Can you tell I only own passive basses?) [/quote] It's also about harmonic content as well.. pickup location is the main factor here..

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1482415099' post='3200343'] So how do you tell if a song is in C or A minor? And does it matter? [/quote] Easily, because the root/4/5 stuff applies (super simplistic)... This is a fantastic book to read...

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1482398703' post='3200138'] Not true - can't post them on my phone, but take a look at some battery charge graphs. They tend to lose a very small amount and then metaphorically fall off a cliff. [/quote] I just put a meter across my batteries before a gig.. 9V or less then they're changed...

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1482340116' post='3199742'] People have short memories! But have you seen the new designs for lightweight fire extinguishers ? :-) But it does have a smps though '-) I'm not sure why people seem to be using class A/B as a synonym for heavy, my Markbass LMII is class A/B and weighs virtually nothing.

If you have more than two pickups ?

[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1482337408' post='3199711'] Ashdown Retroglide 800 are currently £417 through Thomann. Ashdown meets Trace Elliot in a compact, UK made package... they sound pretty good too. Bargain. That could be the answer to your GAS. [/quote] not sure 3kg counts as heavy though :-)

And the pa elves will almost certainly provide the cable. They love bass amps they can di

[quote name='Rikki1984' timestamp='1482270192' post='3199174'] Carole Kay, Adam Nitti, Gerald Veasley. Verdine White has done as well, I think. [/quote] Dave Swift is a new endorsee

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1482265886' post='3199127'] My #1 gig rig is an Ashdown ABM 500 evo II into a Barefaced Super Twin, but for the last 4 months it hasn't left the house as I have been using my Ashdown Touring 330 1x15 combo instead, which weighs about double the main rig, but sounds so good it gets used everywhere. [/quote] P bass man :-)

I'm umming and aahing between my RH750 and Glockenklang Blue Rock .... I think the Glock has the edge in heft, but I can't run either at anything near full chat as the drummer falls off his stool... :-) In terms of heavy cabs.. No way ever again...

Last gig but one I got more more applause than the guitarists (hopefully not ironic).,,:-) However what was priceless was the look on one of the guitarists face :-)

You can also then point at Warwicks and say they're just a copy... :-) but heavier :-) and with more neck dive.. :-)
