Warwick Streamer Stage 1 6 string late 2003
EddieG replied to stevendempster's topic in Basses For Sale
I know Stevie and I've had a go on this bass. The pics don't really do it justice, its really comfortable, and even though I'm not a sixer kind of guy in the slightest I got around on it really easy, despite it being a broadneck. Hurry up and get some better photos up, ye sasij! -
North-East Scotland, bud.

Is this the GEB-7?

Think Hooky went through a phase of playing Yamahas, he's also playing one in the video for A Perfect Kiss. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRqdOyMnnxM[/media] And IIRC, he got his Gibsonesque bass made with the innards of a Yammy.

Nobody?

I've got an i2M which I use in conjunction with both Reason and Ableton Live, and the latency is so microscopic as to be virtually inaudible. I can use it perfectly in a live situation triggering either midi notes, or as a High-Z audio interface, and it tracks perfectly all the way down to open E. Never used it with my 5 string, but there's a function in the editing software to set it for a 5-string bass. All I would say is, if you're planning on getting one of Sonuus's products (and just on personal experience I'd recommend the i2M), make sure your intonation is dialled in as exact as you can possibly get it, and that your bass is perfectly in tune, otherwise you risk triggering double midi notes while the i2M tries to figure out exactly what note you're trying to play.

I've been using this set-up for a while now, and while it sounds great the way I have it set I'm wondering how far up the level of the Sansamp should be to adequately drive the power amp. At the moment I've got the level set at about 2 o'clock and none of the eq levels are extreme, but not long ago I had a speaker expire on me, and I'm wondering whether it was connected to the level of the Sansamp being too high, pushing a clipping signal into the power amp and subsequently the speakers of my cab. Any advice?

Anyone know what bass oliveri used in the video no one knows?
EddieG replied to tommorichards's topic in Bass Guitars
Could it not have been refretted at some point, and this is as a result of the refret? -
If anybody gets near Dundee any time soon, keep an eye out for a club night at a place called the Reading Rooms, called "Bass Orgy". A friend of mine and some of his buds built a full, massive PA system consisting only of BFM designs, and it kicks ass! I played live drum & bass through it with a drummer and keyboard player, all of us using Ableton and looping live, and the sound was incredible. Amazingly hi-fi for such a big PA.

It's a cracking looking bass, and I bet it sounds fantastic. But at $24,000 I'd be scared to play it at home, never mind do a gig with it. If I can't play it, its completely worthless to me.

I saw one of those Overwaters in Red Dog in Edinburgh. They look even better than they do in the photos I've seen!

[url="http://www.warmoth.com/"]Warmoth[/url] it. I built one, and it turned out absolutely perfectly.

One of my friends, Scotty Donald, is doing live looping just like this, and it is the absolute bollocks! He's doing everything from trip-hop, dn'b, dubstep, all sorts of nutty stuff. Check out some of his videos: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/scottydrumbass"]http://www.youtube.com/user/scottydrumbass[/url] He's also doing stuff with a band called Man's Ruin, which is a mashup of Celtic music, funk and jazz. Think he's got some videos on his page from when they did a BBC Radio Scotland live broadcast. This was his first wee experiment using the Roland SPDS, and a scaled down set-up.

It looks like there are some new ones in, including an [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/RV4BFL.html"]UNLINED FRETLESS[/url] and a [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/RV5B.html"]FIVE STRING[/url] Bet these move really quickly. The fretless looks particularly naughty!!

Black jazz copy, white plate, rosewood with blocks
EddieG replied to Mr. Foxen's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1268852' date='Jun 14 2011, 04:32 PM'] Bought on ebay to strip for spares. Actually it is fine aside from setup tweaking, so aside from robbing the Hipshot from it and putting the original machine head back, I'll cheerfully leave this as a working instrument. There is a switch added for S1 switching (I assume). The blocks look nice, but are stick ons. I love the look of blocked rosewood, but I can't deal with skinny jazz necks. I'm usually pretty heartless when it comes to stripping out no-name basses, so leaving it as is reflects upon how nice this is. Neck has a nice satin finish.[/quote] Pretty sure that's one of the early Retrovibe basses. They went pretty quickly, and the switch is a series/parallel switch.

I thought about having a punt on one of the basses from these guys, most likely the natural Chord CJB62: [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?startprod=10&category=Musical_Instruments&masthead=Guitar&subheadnew=Bass_Guitars"]http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?startp...ew=Bass_Guitars[/url]

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1192973' date='Apr 8 2011, 03:37 PM']I'm guessing here but I doubt he was putting new strings on very regularly. What he's playing are 'used' rounds not 'new' rounds. I'd be happy to be corrected on this.[/quote] I remember reading somewhere (probably in his autobiography), that Jaco changed his strings [i]very[/i] regularly indeed, and always before a gig; apparently it was integral to the ringing harmonics.

Wow! That is [b]well[/b] worth £650. Someone is gonna get a cracking bass! If only I had the pennies....
