  1. What do you want it to sound like? Changing Pre valves can have a noticeable difference on the sound of the amp.
  2. I found a good exercise when learning fretless was to use the E and A strings as drones, then play little tunes over these. Sorts your ears out pretty quickly.
  3. Mine was down to my nipples up until I got married, then I got a more responsible job and had it all lopped off. Now I'm sad.
  4. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, It's as American as Apple Pie, Pepsi Cola and Aggressive Foreign Policies.
  5. all right then, £50 posted - and that's cutting me own throat...
  6. a little bit of distortion (gentle, warm kind, not overdrive or fuzz) might 'lift' the line too.
  7. Up for grabs are: 5 in-line Gotoh tuners ( not the big, elephant ear ones), a 5 string bridge and a pair of straplocks. all in Chrome. £60 for the lot?
  8. Ooh, I'll check with my mate - he used to have one and loved it.
  9. what about Jackson/Charvels? That is, if you don't looking like you're about to go postal.
  10. OR you could try setting up a bass a to C instead of E to G? A bit excessive, but a great approach to fretless.
  11. I can recommend the Tone Hammer too, it's a really flexible piece of kit with some great, great tones at your disposal.
  12. No "Ampeg pre" love?
  13. Looks like Green Alsation has just outed himself as a 'chorus-whore' .
  14. Hi all, I sold Tolas my Dave Hall VT2 on here, and he was a pleasure to deal with. His English is vastly superior to my Portugese (I know 3 words, one of which is unrepeatable in polite company) and the transaction went without a hitch. Deal with confidence with Tolas. Cheers, Paul
  15. I know some 4-tringers who get away with it by using an octave pedal, that [i]does[\i] tie you to one particular spot on the stage though. Mine's a five and I'm very happy with it - it's right for me and what I do, but that might not be right for you.
  16. Epi semi. Naughty...
  17. Photo bump. [attachment=97059:ampeg gutshot.jpg] [attachment=97060:ampeg svp1.jpg] [attachment=97061:ampeg svp2.jpg] [attachment=97062:ampeg svp3.jpg]
  18. everything looks the wrong way round. Is there a problem with your camera?
  19. photos on the way, I'll get them up tonight, not been able to get down to the church where it's kept so far.
  20. In Doddy's extended absence I feel compelled to disapprove.
  21. Fat-tatchat... [url="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSKYPncsMOW6eLnxyAp0luYnSDl1kY3g2FZKLCd94_Mpe8YhVR81w"]images[/url]
  22. I've had the CE2B and a CEB3 many moons ago. The Ce2B was lovely and clear, but didn't play well with active basses. The CEB3 has the advantage of being able to select the frequency at which the chorus effect comes in, but I seem to remember it being a very good unit. My absolute favourite though has to be the EBS Unichorus - it does everything a chorus should, and also has the ability to blend the effect with the clean bass sound. It's got a pretty good flanger on it too.
  23. thanks for the advice guys and gals, I've just pulled the trigger on an Aguilar Tone Hammer DI, so I'm looking at changing the live setup anyway. I'm starting to think I might be a little bit impulsive...
  24. I liked it. It genuinely raised a smile.
