  1. Realising I need to buy presents for my family as well as myself bump.
  2. Mate's pix only Orange:
  3. [quote name='TimR' post='1031345' date='Nov 21 2010, 01:04 PM']How many people use an 8x10" at full power?[/quote] I've farted out 8x10s. They don't like lows. Lesson is: Never use one 8x10.
  4. Come on Umph, I know you are holding out on us here.
  5. Keep time by thrusting your crotch. It's not Doom, but it is awesome and manly. I sometimes find I'm standing on one leg and swinging the other one like a pendulum, playing pretty slow stuff though, heavy boots make it slower.
  6. Get second hand hardware, keep the originals, if you want money, take off the hardware, sell it, put the original stuff back on, same as any other gear, except more screwdriver work. It is what I started doing, and sometimes I get paid to do it to peoples instruments now.
  7. Get it biased again and checked out, might just be the bias has gradually drifted and doesn't quite sound the same any more.
  8. Ashdown Lomezo Hyperdrive should be the go to bass distortion, it covers most stuff as it has a built in blend.
  9. Thing is, if that goes to a BCer, I'll be coveting it indefinitely, as it is, I only have to resist for a few days.
  10. Does clear nail varnish wrinkle tape? Sealing down the edges with that might do the trick.
  11. Wipe down with meths and electrical tape. Electrical tape has fooled Bassassin in photos of a Rickenfaker.
  12. The only bit in a cab that can be damaged by amp clipping is the tweeter/crossover, because they see the flat bit as high frequency, and they can't cope with that sort of power level.
  13. All together and working. Still got to make a new scratchplate, is being a nutpain due to being a different shape to everything else, as well as being misaligned. Reckon it will come to practice tomorrow.
  14. [quote name='Simmo' post='1027982' date='Nov 18 2010, 02:50 PM']I know i may sound stupid, but i was looking at the order form for the BT7, and there was an option for Bass side or Treble side, what does this mean?[/quote] You can detune strings other than the bottom one, and on 2 a side headstocks.
  15. I was lined up to fix her bass neck, but the guy didn't know exactly what the problem was, so it went to the better equipped local luthier. I'd have liked to have met the Queen of the Gingers.
  16. They are open chassis, but once they go, seems they don't last, I have been doing exactly that, but never seems to keep them going for long. The problem with this one is the switch is totally slack, so time to source decent replacements. Might just go switchcraft.
  17. Gah, should pay attention to my sale threads. Really, this isn't point to point, very few amps advertised as such are, this is turret track, I think it is patented by Dave Green, a hybrid of PCB and turret, so you get pcb durability (if the PCB is done right, it is reliable, failures are usually from flexing due to inadvisable board mount sockets and such) with turret ease of maintenance. Point to point is where the components aren't mounted on a baord, but floating between points where they are connected, so the path is shortest, but you wend up with a scruffy mess that if hard to figure.

  18. No-one wants big massive valve amps at the moment, fools. Bet it would tempt Terrorike, if you fancy his Sovtek, dunno if he'll be able to cash on top.
  19. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Rockinbetter-Bass-Rickenbacker-copy-/200544367370?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2eb160330a"]Rockinbetter[/url]
  20. The ones that go through a round hole, what is a good sturdy make to go for, I bought some cheap ones a while back, and they sorted the dead switches, but they are dying already, what ones are good. Or anyone got some spares?
  21. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Guitar-Rickenbacker-Tribute-/200544299962?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2eb15f2bba"]Unspecific tribute, probably modern.[/url]
