My Sm400 stays flat the vast majority of the time, occasionally I need to cut the boom out, but it's easily done with the para/graphic setup on board.

Nice looking bass, not sure I'd drop 3k on it though.

I broke a string before christmas at rehearsal, but that turned out to be a problem with the bridge, once I'd got that sorted everything's been ticket-boo. I don't take a backup bass, amp or cab. Down that route madness lies... I've got a bass lead with an XLR plug on the other end though - the absolute worst case scenario is that I go through the 'snake' to the PA directly. Worse things happen at sea. Also I really look after my kit.

The D'Addario half rounds worked for me when I played a 5. http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=178&productname=ENR71_5_Half_Rounds_5_String_Bass__Regular_Light__45_130__Long_Scale lots of folks on here swear by the Status Hotwires though.

That's a beauty - I genuinely hope you're happy with it. Just remember - "Fortune favours the broke".

or 'ground wounds' - best of both worlds...

don't/do it!

Why? Physics.

Cool, glad this has had a happy ending. They stink when they blow though, don't they!

I was going to listen to this, but I went 'outside and closed the door'.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1400311263' post='2452746'] but that's half the fun of searching for the right fuzz! [/quote] This! I found the Colorsound Bass Fuzz sounded amazing, but didn't really like my active bass through it, so I took the actives out of my bass... sometimes you just [i]know[/i].

I did the survey - took me longer than 20 seconds though, but that's probably down to my failing eyesight...

LEDs give a nice 'tubey' tone when used as clipping diodes too...

I suppose if you're not gigging then it's a good way to play to an audience.

Axis: Bold As Love by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. f*** me it's good!

Nice! JPJ is one of my favourite, all-time players. Of everything!

It's dead simple; remove two capacitors and put one back in a different place... The frequency response looks like this (before and after) [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/swrmod_zpsfda11699.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/swrmod_zpsfda11699.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And this is how it looks in the real world.

GFS pickups all the way, for guitar OR bass.
