Is this the slowest burning thread ever?

Can't rush these things!

No problems here either (three shuttles) Di all good and had positive comments from sound engineers and in the studio. Ground lift disconnects the earth from the xlr to or from your amp and the desk, this is useful because you can have too many earths and create a sort of loop that picks up signals and noises etc, lifting it at your amp breaks the loop but the xlr still has it's shielding and your amp is still earthed as normal everywhere else.

There goes somebody who has gone into their average high street music shop and bought the most expensive stuff they had... and convinced themselves it sounded good. [/quote] Haha, you know that I know that you know who this is twidly didly dee, adjust pots and repeat.......

I have not slept for days worrying about this amp! Is it fixed yet?

We need pictures! (of the bass not other half) (well then again we wont stop you!) Love mine now, practice tonight got a few numbers in the covers band set now that work well on the EUB

"Hi I'm Tom Tucker"

Haha ace! Just got in from a jam night with mine everyone loves them! Just got to do the little moss to make them lots better than standard

Bass direct pilgrimage, its not far really from the Wirral

I'm saying nothing, see my broken wrist thread!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1360608064' post='1973322'] The OP got his answer in #3. From his reply in #4 the subject moved on. Keep up. [/quote] If he stays passive passive he may never know the joys of active, passive warwick what's that about anyway?

I have put it on the radiator and softened it a bit, worked OK for a while and I was sounding alright with the bow then the centre of the bow started to lose grip. I am going to wait until I have had my first lesson and see what Doddy thinks of the rosin and what tension the bow should be

I nearly bought something else once, wont happen again My last 6 bass purchases were single pup Rays barring one which is a Jazz Bass.

Flipping Eck! this thread is still limping along then.....

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1360589415' post='1972789'] I've been playing active basses for over 20 years and I'm very happy with the sound of the passive bass I've been playing for the last 2 years. One isn't better than the other, so I'd just go with the one which gives you the tone you want. [/quote] Haha I like it! The default passive/active answer even though the OP never asked that! In other news Flea, Its not about the extra notes more about playing across the board & Jackson basses are good for metal

Looking at the sellers feedback on here previous members had to weight quite a while for it to be shipped if that helps?

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1360513929' post='1971515'] Me too - though in my case I don't think it was a brother - then I can be the old sod at the end of the bar dribbling that "I gave them their first break" when they show up on Jools Holland. [/quote] Certainly we did all the hard work IMO

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1360512316' post='1971481'] I did that too a few years ago; the poster was looking for any gear that a friend of his could use. I didn't see how it ended up, or if they still post. [/quote] I guess this is life I presume the BC member that took it did indeed give it to his brother and anyway it was not worth a lot £30-40 maybe, on the other hand I hope his brother is still playing and if by selling that amp on here for say £30 gets him £30 to put towards a bigger amp I would be more than happy for him

FWIW I am not here to sell things to people who cant afford them at the full market price but on the other hand if you check out my feedback you will see I gave an amp away for free as it was surplus to my requirements so you should take every transaction as you find it imo

If the bass has been hanging around for weeks unsold before someone like me might think 'at that price I will have that even if I dont keep it' everyone has had plenty of chance to buy it and the fact it did not sell at the low price should be a warning to the 'flipper' that they might get stuck with it themselves anyway.

I never clean them other than a rub with a dry cloth when I change the strings, other than that I run 1200 grit paper over the back of the neck now and again
