Great thread with some great tunes. Here's Breakestra feat. Chali2na http://youtu.be/ak5b6gNnM30

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1438626100' post='2835913'] So, it is legal to rip a Minnie Ripperton CD then? [/quote] Ripping Minnie Ripperton to Minidisc is a hangable offence

I Would contact this seller. The thread is locked, but possibly in error as only one of the two have been sold by the looks of things http://basschat.co.uk/topic/267002-acg-eq01-preamps-made-by-john-east-1-of-2-sold/ Edit: Sorry, just clocked that you want it in a pedal

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1438613368' post='2835768'] Wood&Tronics logo is now silver (was gold previously)... [/quote] That's the one 👍😊

Look up!

[quote name='blockhd' timestamp='1438605293' post='2835699'] Looking great! New control knobs, all black pickup covers and i believe you polished the scratchplate a bit [/quote] Cheers! All correct, but one more change!

I've made theee changes to the bass since putting the new scratchplate on, and feel it has come together nicely. Can anyone spot what the three changes are? [IMG]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/20150803_080321_zpsrelpasd0.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1437903989' post='2829798'] Always nice to see another John Irving fan. Have you thought about having that p/g engraved, like a Zematis? Something curly and organic to match the overall feel. [/quote] Yeah, love John Irving; his last book 'In One Person' was one of his best yet. I can see how the engraving could work well, but it's just not 'me' - I don't really do fancy and ornate.

Lovely! Bet it plays like butter, great for jamming, etc. Etc.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1438456196' post='2834674'] So as a Class A amplifier is around 10% efficient, you need 10000 watts or around 40 Amps of current at 230V. Three times what you can draw fro a single socket ( unless you are running three phase) it is August not April isn't it! [/quote] Is your sarcastic gybe based on the fact that you think I was talking about Class A and Class B amps? I wasn't - I was referring to two different hypothetical types of amp labeled Type A and Type B.

Are we talking Modulus Flea here? The swap with the Fender would suggest so, but two of them on a week? That's nuts!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1438451417' post='2834635'] Thanks, what did I do wrong? I .. changed the // to \\ [/quote] That may be your issue 😊

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1438448152' post='2834608'] A favourite of mine, here's another by them: http:\\www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma8ABYwo1Ew&index=4&list=PLL__puWsATNz8EjGA25nHQEOb87n2bu5J Apparently Lowell George played on this track, you can hear his slide low in the mix. Maybe someone can embed this? [/quote] http://youtu.be/Ma8ABYwo1Ew

Real world you say? I have a 1000w Type A power amp which easily handles the lows. Then I sell it, and with half of that money buy a cheaper Type B 3000w power amp which handles those lows just as well. Great. My inner voice will be nagging me to buy the 3000w version of the Type A power amp, as it will be amazing. I'm now skint with an aching back, but happy.

Funnily enough I was just jamming along to this last night. Great feel, and I love the little fast bit after the second chorus. And the key change. And the drumming. Everything basically

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1438420277' post='2834335'] I'm ignorant of the 'history' of this bass, the seller or the shop involved but what is the problem with the neck? Is this an early 80's bass with a headstock break that was repaired in the past or is it a truss rod issue... or something else? [/quote] There is another thread somewhere which details issues that the owner has with the neck. The ebony is a bit porous, there is a small knot visible, and there are some small gaps due to shrinkage where the ebony meets the fretlines. Edit: found it http://basschat.co.uk/topic/266726-please-look-at-the-ebony-board-on-new-streamer-bass-damaged/

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1438326194' post='2833510'] he never noticed it was a leftie until it arrived [/quote] Hahah. Sounds like something I would do 😁

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1438332577' post='2833574'] Just checking the final masters of the Dick Venom & The Terrortones album "SnakeOil For Snakes" before it goes off to the pressing plant. [/quote] Looking forward to it

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1438282927' post='2833277'] Print off a sign saying CAN I UNPLUG THE THING and wave it around at the sound guy Laminate and throw it in gig bag. [/quote] I might actually do that

Anyone used the Roland TB3? I'm really liking the look of this http://youtu.be/W7P6hxfw8SE

I'm not sure I've ever played a real dive, just normal pubs and clubs, and have never declined a gig because I think the venue might be too rough. Around twenty years of gigging, and the only fight (more of a scuffle) I've ever witnessed at a gig was in the dressing room between the drummer and the vocalist! I was a bit concerned about playing at a bikers' club in Grimsby once, but it turned out to be great fun and we were well looked after (despite what appeared to be a blood splatter stain on the ceiling directly above the stage) 😀

Haha, yeah, I make it sound like we always do encores,and always have a sea of people on the dancefloor. Not always the case. We always have a venue soundguy though - I think that may be an originals band thing?

You've done your encore and the DJ has cranked up some tunes. You want to pack up ASAP but are afraid that if you pull out the DI you will get the dreaded CLUNK BOOM which almost destroys the PA. Is there a universal hand gesture, recognisable across a sea of people and loud music, which means "is it safe to unplug the DI yet?"? I have tried a kind of 'pull your thumb out of a closed fist' gesture, but pretty sure that means "Poo" in sign language - maybe people just thought I was busting 😂

Oh yeah, I always forget effects! We used to start with a song with deep, deep LPF effect but I'd forgotten to tell the sound guy. He sh*t himself at the first note 😲😁
