  1. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1428791077' post='2744643'] Bubinga as they all are BUT the bottom edge is part of the heart-wood of the tree. The 2002 Ltd Ed Corvette was cut with that pale wood through the centre. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/Ltd002.jpg.html][IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/Ltd002.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] Bubinga heartwood is the reddish brown stuff, and it's the sapwood that is the pale part ☺ It's all part of the character, and bubinga sapwood is perfectly hard, unlike some sapwoods.
  2. The One Spot costs around £20 and can handle up to 1700ma. I've never experienced unwanted noise from mine, but maybe that's to do with the type of pedals? Mine powers a tuner, bypass looper, LPF, Octave/fuzz, LFO and a compressor no problems at all
  3. There was a thread on this subject recently and I think the OP ended up getting a normal class D integrated amp and bypassing the preamp. Not Stand Alone, but seemingly the easiest solution.
  4. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1428477704' post='2741545'] Wh puts a bass away in its case without taking the strap off first? [/quote] Me. I don't think I've had the strap off my bass since I put it on three years ago. When going into the case, It has a certain way of being tucked in so that it doesn't get in the way.
  5. This is supposed to be a sublime instrument. Depends who's playing it I suppose.. http://youtu.be/Y0Ts5fcBDAw
  6. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1428182589' post='2738971'] but beef is beef, I find. [/quote] try telling that to Findus and Tesco
  7. I so wish this had five strings :-( I got a price for a new NRbird 5er recently, and after import came in at £1600 this is a bargain!!
  8. This Sei on the marketplace is black as black can be [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-04/received_10152564503395876_zpsuot8iidu.jpeg" class="ipsImage" />
  9. Not foot tapping. I do tend to bob up and down like a demented chicken though
  10. Glad to hear it. Look forward to seeing what you end up with
  11. I had an amp arrive with a fault last week. I suggested to the seller that we split the cost, but he said that he had sold it as working so insisted on paying the full amount. I hope your seller is as noble!
  12. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1427535551' post='2731462'] I couldn't see mine but there are two of my photos - the one of Yolanda Charles and the AC/DC wine... [/quote] Yours is there :-) I could name 51, well, I'm sure I'd duff up the spelling of many, but could articulate something resembling their name
  13. I am so happy with this rig; tonnes of clean headroom with clarity, depth and authority. [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/64A06DB9-5554-45D3-8838-0773A9884DE8_zpsxeltgwhp.jpg" class="ipsImage" />
  14. I have GAS for the first time in ages; a Cataldo NRbird 5 string. Trouble is after import duty it's about £400 over budget.
  15. [quote name='TurnItUp' timestamp='1369905206' post='2094111'] Recommended tech in Nottingham - Dave Ball - very fast and reasonably priced. Good with valve amps but can repair pretty much anything. 0115 911 3964 [/quote] Thanks to this thread, I used the services of Dave Ball to repair a solid state power amp. He has been doing it for decades so knows his stuff - valve, SS, d class, anything. Nice chap, good communication, quick turnaround and reasonably priced. Recommended.
  16. I have done in the past, and love the sound in certain applications - kitchen roll or mousemat foam for me. The thing is that I seldom want muted tones for the entire set, so now just palm mute when necessary.
  17. I play reggae through the Super Twin; have NO worries about bottom end clarity. That cab will go as deep as you need and then some, and remain crystal clear (as long as you have a good amp too)
  18. Bump for a great little combo at a superb price. Phil is a top chap too. Basically you can't go wrong when buying this.
  19. This is all very useful, as I'm going to be selling a bass for the first time ever (!?) soon, so want the ad to be as informative as possible. I have no idea re. tuner ratios though!
  20. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1427490085' post='2731181'] Some discussion already [url="http://asschat.co.uk/topic/253891-new-ob1-series-from-orange"]here[/url], but not yet in the shops afaik. [/quote] You can get into trouble for linking to AssChat you know ;-)
  21. I've just sold a power amp to Kev. I've met him several times before, so knew that the deal would go swimmingly, and I was right! Lovely chap, I'd happily deal with him again
