Its definitely not Prince is it?

I know what you mean but everyone who has seen mine loved it, very classic rather than rockabilly! Did you go for the exact same one based on my order with spirocores and adjustable bridge? Pops and a german bow too?

The run up through the C# D E octaves sounds tasty imo, glad its not just me, maybe if we had a synth player who was handling the lower register it would be ok without the erb but as we don't it wouldn't be in our set on a standard tuned 4, the version in my link plays across and up and down the neck too so not really an option for a B bass either.

I struggle to get a good sound without adding more knobs to twiddle, I really am terrible!

I new Gedo would be good about it, I know people in the main area of the forum would probably jump up and down but sh*t happens, its how it is dealt with that matters IMO. I hope you get it sorted and get on it asap, how does the rest of the bass look?

I have had the odd battery that was tighter than a nuns chuff for the EBMM holders too, also it might be worth extracting the whole thing carefully and bend the little tabs back up if they have become stuck in a position where they are not pressing against the battery terminals properly, give them a good clean and look for any loose connections at the same time obviously.

I downloaded the version from here [url="http://cocosbassment.com/"]http://cocosbassment.com/[/url] but it goes down lower than D, the trouble with that song is the fact there isn't actually any bass on it so you just have to do what you can IMO, I cant recall seeing anyone try any do the funny bit at the start though, surely a keys players job if at all? Nice to play a song containing an E# though

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1369407254' post='2088921'] I'm using my 4 string P with the D tuner flicked on. Nice and easy. [/quote] Even down to C sharp?

I think the song sounds crap played on anything other than a five string bass, what are you using?

Well it will stop anyone saying he should of gone to thomann if nothing else! Tricky one with such a big item maybe if you are happy to glue it and they offer you a decent part refund?

Ahhhh! I'm sure they will sort this out but that sucks, everyone else has had no issues at all afaik, not with anything.

[/quote] That's the trouble with corporate crap, also maybe the song was too new? We have all been to see our favourite band only to be told by the excited front man that they are going to treat us to their new unreleased album end to end, oh no!

I quite like the pop production, sad I know

My dream amp for our resident boffins to invent then, two knobs on the front 'volume' 'tone', if somehow the amp could bounce a signal around the room to measure the awkward frequencys then the user selects a choice of preset tones (like a V bass pod thing), amp pig, gashdown, my shell, mike bass etc then adjust the volume to suit

Ace!

If there was a 'correct' setting the amp would not need any knobs!

She was what 12 or 13 when they started? People moan about selling out yet I wonder what they or their children were doing at that age!

On a serious note for a moment if this is upheld then basschat would have to ban; SX Vintage Encore Tokai Sue Ryder Westfield Alleva Copola Shuker Overwater Sadowsky Avon Stagg What will we have left to talk about?

I'd agree with others that we should not discuss the products at all, before anyone calls me an ebmm fan boi I was one of the people annoyed that the ebmm thread about bad fret slots was pulled by request rather than just cleared up. Sure I'm not saying basschat should commision a fake ricky but banning images or private members selling basses......jeez.

Not with green leds......

[quote name='OBT1000_S12' timestamp='1369173432' post='2085953'] I don't usually like red basses but that I liked and solid playing and good singing in the videos! [/quote] Me and ebs _freak both said that earlier! Looks good don't it and yes nice player too.

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1369166068' post='2085780'] Mrs2611 and I quite like their dulcet tones...never heard them before [/quote] They have some great pop/rock songs have a listen to some others on you tube

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1369144227' post='2085379'] Circuit breakers wont help. The stage needs it's own earthing point as close to the stage as humanly possible. The Rule of thumb is Every 10 meters of wire away from the earthing point and the risk of electrocution trebles. If the earthing point is at the other end of the lead which is 50+ meters away and round the pubs mains board to the cold water pipe. You are as good as dead if any type of rain or short causes problems [b]Any rcd you use can only measure leakage to a bonded earth point so wont trip if the path is via you direct to earth.[/b] A moderately competent electrician can install an earth point at the stage rigged in to the power supply stage end , or use a generator that is earthed. If the only source is a very long extension lead with the earthing point at the other end then if there is any, even remote chance of damp or rain I would suggest you do not play. These things do tend to be make do and hope for the best. Fatalities are not uncommon when no direct earthing point exists, electricity will take the shortest route to earth and if that is via you as opposed to down the other end of a long extension then it will, it is physics and many a person has won a darwin award from 240v 30 amp ring mains. If it is not a generator installed by a compliant person I would insist on an electrician certifying the power supply . You dont get a second chance with this sh*t ! [/quote] This is totally false, I dont want to get into another basschat electrical debate but its not true at all, any leakage (probably 30mA in this case) anywhere other than back through the RCD unit will result in a trip and should be within 200ms but will normally be less than that, worst I have seen was about 57ms. Unless you know what you are doing adding earth stakes etc can make things worse, even a poor TNC-S supply with up to 3 extension reels will give a few Ohms on an earth loop test, 50-100 maybe worst case with enough voltage left to actually power anything which is very poor really, yet a decent stake would be 200+ at best and more like 500+ in a field miles from anywhere
