I have one of everything already

Hi mate, the fet can only be had on the 3.0 that you have or the max heads which I have purchased actually since this thread last cropped up! What are you running then a 1x8 and a 2x10? There should be no problem with the head, I have used my 3.0 through my 2x12T and i is not that far behind the 6.0, the 9.2 Max is another beast alltogether

Thanks Floyd if it goes well I can always think about trading up at a later date , I have another pre EB to sell if I need to I am hoping that this could be good for a while and if looked after and setup well should be a nice bass for the next user, there are always people after a good starter bass, if this one was for sale on here now for about £600 I would of snapped it up Had confirmation of shipping today so it could get here before the weekend!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1362501294' post='2000278'] Is there a prize for getting Pete to buy the rosin we recommend? I suppose I could shout louder about Pops if there is. I'm pretty sure that Kolstein isn't the only rosin that works. [/quote] Well I was originally thinking Pops! Why cant things be simple?

Yes, I am having an adjustable bridge fitted and Spirocore weich strings the same as on my Stagg (cheaper than you buy them here for too), I am hoping that with the ebony board and carved top, adjustable bridge and proper strings it should be at least a decent beginner bass? and if not at least all the major things are there for someone to set it up better at a later date if it needs a board shoot and stuff Looking at my account earlier it has not cleared yet but it is looking like £871 after the currency conversion.

[quote name='Stan_da_man' timestamp='1362430887' post='1999756'] US Spector NS2 I believe. Flea used that bass to record on Mother's Milk and Uplift Mofo. [b]The Ampeg rig was just a hired backline[/b]. [/quote] This is what I thought but how do we know?

And only if the pub is shut?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1362348246' post='1998844'] Because you need to shop somewhere where other people speak like they have a mouth full of marbles i suppose? I've never set foot in a waitrose. We don't have them here. [/quote] If you add up your monthly shopping bill and send me 15 percent of that amount you can pretend you have been there!

You could slot in behind Chrismuzz if you have a gig just after his or even go after me and you pass it to the Stokeys!

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1362421713' post='1999493'] Nah I'm sure he used to use Spector basses in the early days. That's what his rig looked like in 1989 I guess? [/quote] I guess we all learn, even flea

A month?

Someone in the Walsall area with a gig on the 16th would be ideal, anyone????

I could meet up with you Rushbo to get the bass but it would be nice to get at least one or two more people between us wouldn't it? (I can't make the 9th )

[quote name='fatgoogle' timestamp='1362421471' post='1999486'] Brillant stuff. Now to find the time for 6 hours of practice a day. [/quote] Practice, whats that then?

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1362349619' post='1998869'] Good man how excited are you,hell i'm excited for you. [/quote] Very, It is being delivered to my folks house and I have told them to be [b]delicate[/b] with the box, my dad is a bit crazy with stuff like boxes being left about!

Is it possible that rig was just for the European leg of tour? RHCP were not that big in Europe at that time and the default touring band hire rig would of been just that.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1362340973' post='1998691'] Blimey if it gets up to Stafford on the 23rd I will probably have it next! I've got gigs in Newcastle under Lyme on the 30th of March and Stoke On Trent on the 13th of April. [/quote] I am not far from you Chrismuzz so if it could get to me before the 23rd of March I could get it to you before the 30th

[quote name='slapmonsta' timestamp='1362352868' post='1998947'] Ha ha...the old "I hate slap bass at music shows" thread.Only the date ever changes. Forgive me for saying it-but aren't "trade shows" entirely designed to attract players to check out the manufacturer's wares close up,and get their hands on the gear at close quarters?Does it really matter if the guy plays a dodgy version of "Love games" on a coffee-table bass-if he's ultimately helping to keep the retailer and distributor in business-and thus allow future shows to commercialy viable? Obviously the volume aspect needs addressing- but it seems that some peeps would rather use it as an excuse to moan about a playing style they don't and a "stereotype" punter rather than look at any positives! [/quote] This is what I feared really, these shows should be called slap fests or something IMO.

I cant understand why anyone shops at Waitrose? You can burn money at home for free without even driving there!

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1362346942' post='1998818'] Agree, this is something that should have been in place before last years show. [/quote] This idea was discussed at length after every Manchester bassdayuk, Stevie (who does a great job) annouced that there would be a real shake up before the last one I attended, went along to find an identicle setup to all the previous years even the same guys slapping were spotted from previous years one even identified on here as someones teacher at the same stand (not by request) 3 years on the trot! This is these guy's 'gig' OK as Ian says I was not as this show but I am sure a coffee table bass slapped full belt through a Mark Bass rig sounds the same 150 miles south

Could you have the fret lines drawn on wonky GW?

I'm reading with interest about the preamps and stuff as I have no idea at all

Amazing price for a carved front bass
