Cheers

Lee, Danny, where are you? People on here know good luthiers all over the country and will be able to recommend one Of you could post a "Luthier recommendation needed for [i]yourtown[/i]" post

[quote name='MB1' post='7794' date='May 27 2007, 08:26 PM']MB1. The original question was are modeling amps accurate.i dont think they are, my opinion ,thats why i dont use them,as for using other effects i use them sparingly as i do like the sound of my bass ,i dont wish to colour its sound with effects end of story.if you dont like it ,tough,everybodys entitled to an opinion. personally i wouldnt piss on a peavey bam if it was on fire,each to there own! MB1.[/quote] MB1 You are rather passionate about it and that's brilliant. I'm glad to hear you take health and safety seriously as well. Pissing on any electrical equipment, whether on fire or not, is very dangerous and is not to be encouraged.

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='7701' date='May 27 2007, 04:52 PM']Iceni music Goodfellow Sei are all within driving distance, But I think they'd never want to see me again once I started wanting to tweak things this way and that![/quote] Not if they are as good as everyone says (and you have enough money) Sorry if I promote my man Shuker but , hey if you find something good you want to share it with your mates .. That's all. There are many, many other custom bass builders who are, I'm sure, just as good ... I just don't know them personally .

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='7718' date='May 27 2007, 05:48 PM']That is awesome. I suspect you could give marcus miller any plank and he would make it sound awesome though. You wonder how much all those [i]tiny[/i] tweaks made a difference. I suspect in all a little but not a HUGE amount. G[/quote] Yeah but if Fender asked what you wanted, like anything, you'd have a fiddle with all that stuff and try the wierd and different, wouldn't you?

[quote name='Tinman' post='7581' date='May 27 2007, 12:40 PM']Ha ha, yes you could be right there [/quote] Mrs Tinman may like the low B

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='7574' date='May 27 2007, 12:35 PM']Fascinating how much work goes into it and how many combinations and permutations of design and materials exist. A good find. Thanks for sharing it! All I need now is for a manufacturer/luthier to take this much care over creating an instrument just for ME! "No! I want the bridge made from Brass and the saddles from Titanium. and I want it anodised in purple by 1,000 hand-picked virgins!" "Jeeves! I want more balsamic vinegar in my Velociraptor and Marmite sandwich!"[/quote] Jon Shuker will do all of that, no worries - though there's few Velociraptors in Yourshire, not since Dood demanded their claws for the Doodle's fingerboard markers ...

[quote name='Tinman' post='7571' date='May 27 2007, 12:32 PM']When I get it I shall probably want to take it to bed with me, just to make sure the nasty night pixies don't get it.[/quote] Tinman's got wood

[quote name='simon73' post='7566' date='May 27 2007, 12:28 PM']and here was me think you was just rubbing tinmans nose in the fact he had to wait 14 weeks![/quote] Ha ha yeah That as well

We used to be able to remove our own posts. Having accidentally just posted the same post 6 times I think it might be handy to have that here too ...

[quote name='Tinman' post='7524' date='May 27 2007, 11:28 AM']Jon showed one with blue and one with red. I have to admit to liking the blue ones best but he suggested I ask the question.[/quote] 14 weeks? yeah, right... and wedding gigs always start on time ...

[quote name='Waldo' post='7412' date='May 27 2007, 12:34 AM']Are you equating the use of FX and modelling to having a crap sound?[/quote] It certainly sounds like "natural sound of bass/rig = good, anything else = bad" which is pants, of course...

[quote name='neepheid' post='7508' date='May 27 2007, 10:47 AM']Not on all eyes, my eyes hate bright blue light, can't focus it correctly. Small, round LEDs look like fuzzy blue flowers. All other colours are fine.[/quote] Yeah I'm with Neep Blue doesn't work for me. Red's fine on mine. (side only front one's are so gauche ) Blue doesnt work fo me in Powerpoint and in films either - any dark situation. I find they arn't [i]needed[/i] in good stage light situations but they do[i] help[/i].. If I have to find the 12th fret in a hurry, it's just easier with the lights on. An accessible dimmer would be handy too. Oh and the punters just love them.

[quote name='phatbassdood' post='7090' date='May 26 2007, 12:26 PM']yeah, I've got one of these, bought from gaf on bassworld, it works fine and fits on my pedalboard. The only down side is my DI+ hisses when it's switched on.[/quote] I had one but I couldn't live with the big thud it gives out through the backline when you turn the transmitter off.
