I tend to get the intro to "Walkabout" by RHCP when I'm walking downstairs most days. Odd. Good line though... http://youtu.be/J1MwPDtPjbs

Just had a look at the xylem stuff - looks like there's a bit of 'Carl Thompson' in there. Which is nice!

It's all true - great pickups for less than the price of a full body wax... Best of luck skipper! Enjoy your retirement.

A simple compressor with a 'Make up gain' knob would do it - it would also even out the dynamics for you, so I'd be tempted to use that rather than an EQ.

Nice! Black and bare wood is a classy look for a bass.

Compressor pedal or an eq pedal with a master volume to boost the output.

I keep my "thrown together in a shed" 1x12 in my shed (cost about £20) to make. I wouldn't put my hydrive in there though...

Don't let the price put you off; I absolutely LOVE my Mighty Mite neck - very, very playable! MMmmmmmmmm

I'm using a Coloursound Bass Fuzz clone and I'm loving it. Slightly over budget, so I built one for a fraction of the cost.

Uhukelele. Getting coat.

Cool. Will have a look when I've got proper internet access.

Can"t post pictures at the moment, but my SWR220 is my current squeeze. Very flexible piece of kit!

Yup. I'm very aroused!

You could always use some old 5 string strings and use them to enlarge the existing grooves.

Does Gene Simmons' 'Punisher' signature bass actually spit flames? That's a deal-breaker for me. Sorry.

Have you looked down the back of the sofa?

Just did a little test recording tonight after finishing the bass for a separate track to demonstrate the HH fretless Jazz setup. http://snd.sc/1e6Q5Nh The first sample is a little distorted due to the ridiculously hot output of this baby...
