Hard case for a Yamaha bb734 - any thoughts?
TheGreek replied to dave654's topic in Hardware & Accessories
I use one of these for my BB615 which I assume is a similar length/width. https://hiscoxcases.com/products/large-peardrop-bass-guitar-hard-case-pro-ii-spec or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266128446095?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB106353122& -
Shortscale Flatwounds similar to EB Group IV flats
TheGreek replied to fretmeister's topic in Accessories and Misc
IIRC Fender make short scale Flats at a very reasonable price.... Can't find the shortscale but: https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-strings/fender-9050l-stainless-9050s-flatwound-bass-strings-light?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgaGgBhC8ARIsAAAyLfFRM1sAY9g_cBgLMCqd5YQJLOf_9FDkX_aANUGGIZkuUOrdWHLUvDAaAuj0EALw_wcB -
Great minds think alike....

The link: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LaBella_Flatwound_strings.html However: La Bella Strings Guide: Finding the Right Scale Set for Your Bass Knowing your bass’ “scale length” is not enough information to purchase the correct set. Figuring out your bass’ required “string wound length” is key BEFORE you purchase a set from ANY string manufacturer. How to Figure out the “String Wound Length” your Bass Requires: On your bass, measure the distance from the ball-end to just past the nut (you may have to remove the string if the string goes through the body). Then use our key to figure out the correct set for your bass: La Bella Short Scale Set: 32 .” Wound Length La Bella Medium Scale Set: 34 .” Wound Length La Bella Standard/Long Scale Set: 36 .” Wound Length La Bella Extra Long Scale: 38" Wound Length STRING WOUND LENGTH Note the Following: • Make sure the string wound length clears the nut. • For flat wounds, make sure the wound portion of the string does NOT wrap around the tuning post (or else they will break). • Do not use standard flat wound bass sets on basses that require stringing through the body of the bass (or else they will break). We have Through-Body “-TB” models for those basses e.g. 760FL-TB, 760FS-TB, etc. • La Bella Beatle Bass sets can ONLY be used on Beatle basses (and very similar models). Do NOT try them on standard basses or they will break. Please email [email protected] with specific questions about your bass. Thanks for playing La Bella!

"There is another option if you want to get your Moogerfooger kicks right now, of course: Moog recently brought back the entire range of pedals in a suite of plugins, and very nice it is, too. So, it looks like you’ll have a choice: analogue clones of the hardware from a different company or official plugins from the original manufacturer. Up to you."

When I saw the thread title I assumed that somebody is cloning Behringer pedals. That would have been ironic.

When arranging the Herts Bashes I found that people were reluctant to travel 20 miles to the event. Whether people would travel from all four corners of the country is debatable. I would be reluctant to travel to Sheffield from Hertfordshire. Re: the cost of events, Bassface2K10 and I met the initial costs for the event - drinks, food, raffle prizes, etc - knowing that the money wouldn't be coming back to us, as all the proceeds went to the venue (what had been our local club). In effect we both paid around £50 each to put on the event. If somebody is paying for a venue they're going to need a lot of attendees just to break even.

Did anyone here actually buy a EBMM Joe Dart?

Didn't you have to pay more for fewer switches? -

Are you asking about a bass or pickup configuration? I find both Precision and Jazz pickups to be lacking yet a PJ compliment the other. That would be my recommendation - however I wouldn't discount a Humbucker with a P pup. You'll go round in circles with various permutations till it drives you mad - there probably is no "ideal" that suits everybody. The solution might be to go for the SimS system - each pickup can be set as H,P or J. Get a pair and you have 15 permutations. At £225 each they're not an inexpensive but I don't think you'll find many disappointed customers. I have them in my Silk Bass and would recommend them. https://www.sims.guitars/pickups/super-quad Fitted as standard in Enfield basses: If you plan to keep the bass then it'll be money well spent. Like most things, you'll probably lose money if/ when you sell. If you're near Herts contact me for a trial of my Silk Bass.

...an accumulation of parts which I hope to put together. Some of you may have noticed I've been trying to acquire some parts. I've managed to find a slab body with a nicely figured top and a Tele bass neck. Nice natural tones so I've been looking for some gold tuners and bridge. Hoping to get some cream/ tan pickup covers. Here are some of the parts I've accumulated so far.

Looks really early. I would guess that it's been painted at some point in it's life - Jon would never have let a bass with that amount of orange peel in the finish leave the factory. Now we're all watching it I think that we can expect the price to soar.
