The nicest P bass I've ever played was... my MIM P bass (swapped out pups and bridge for a bit more aggression) It's all about what's right for you.

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1340803084' post='1709800'] 2 week tour Sorted! If you do fancy it, theres a venue called the Moorings bar - great system (ampeg backline for bass ) and you can doss in the flat above for free. [/quote] Free acommo eh? Hmm... it's back as a possibility Tbh I love Ampeg gear but would still prefer to use my own (can take a while to dial in "my" sound otherwise)

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1340728337' post='1708735'] This is still too ambiguous for me, who counts as the events organiser, The brides mother at the village hall? [/quote] It gets even more interesting if you're the event organiser

Aberdeen may be a little TOO far off the beaten track unfortunately for us.

It's appreciated bluejay

Basschat Awesome Strikes Again

TBH, not particularly wowed.

When we tried a thumpinator at the bash through 2 barefaced cabs the majority decided that we could hear a difference and not particularly for the better. It seemed to pull some of the "guts" out of the sound

Starting to get properly exciting now... When the band hit it big and we're on the road to becoming multi-multi millionaires* I'll try to make sure we can record here [size=1]*we may not make > £5 (this is our income to date)[/size]

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1340731028' post='1708823'] That's an awesome idea... and I did not see it... [/quote] I got a bit inventive

I wonder if you could get away with using the same "species" of wood again and again. Macassar Ebony Ebony Pale Moon Ebony Does that still count as 1 wood?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1340711779' post='1708374'] I will own up that I'm feeling very lucky, and a little bit humble, today. Sitting next to me in my study are three Fodera Monarchs, a Ritter Cora, an Alleva Coppolo RA & two pre-CBS Fender Jazzes (one of which isn't mine!). . . Luckily I have a good insurance policy that covers them all!! [/quote] Well sitting next to me is a programmer and a can of 7up Lovely collection

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1340710047' post='1708325'] FoderaS. . . [/quote] You mean they don't have a house EACH?

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1340709700' post='1708317'] Hmmmm, it doesnt get lower so much, in that the fundamental definitely stays the same, but it does get higher as it pops back up to the top of the sweep. Thats cool! Some very groovy/trippy/weird effects to be had with that. Can you reverse it so it always rises? The other one doesnt speed up for me, errrr what does that mean?? [/quote] I meant to put that there is one that seems to get consistently faster but I can't remember its name. It was all part of Acoustics and PsychoAcoustics (my favourite module).

Shepard Tone Descending [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfJa3IC1txI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfJa3IC1txI[/url] Shepard Tone Ascending [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXlR4wH971g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXlR4wH971g[/url] There's one that continuously seems to get faster and faster that works on the same principle

The one that will really mess with your head if you like psycho-acoustics is Shepard-tones. Now they're messed up!

One doesn't have a Fodera in a house, One has a house AROUND a Fodera

An graphite fretboard

[quote name='gilmour' timestamp='1340700953' post='1708170'] Trouble is if you do that it stops sounding like a 'ray. [/quote] Take the 'ray pre and put it in a pedal. Change to a John East and ask for an additional clean output (or stereo output with one side clean), merge the two signals in a box with a blend and ultimate 'ray sound How's that?

Yeah exactly the same for me. I find the phone far more effective

[quote name='Ben Jamin' timestamp='1337954940' post='1668011'] Hmm. I think a global competition is perhaps a bit too big. Maybe for the next competition you could offer a custom where you decide string count and model, but only applicable to those using Basschat [/quote] Much better Although it could be much more entertaining if the losers got to design it

Make one of those plastic basses

Mines covered for in a locked car too

Maple neck, black hardware... I think I'd go blue I prefer greenburst with darker fretboards

I just really want to say a big thankyou to everyone who has donated so far! You guys are great
