[quote name='molan' timestamp='1345228118' post='1775360'] And still looking just as lovely [/quote] +1 -
theres a trend here then. these amps are getting enough air?

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1345218770' post='1775181'] Arrived today, and quickly whipped it in, truly stellar, much better than the Bartolini pre I had installed, the options and tones are ridiculous. Shame I can't play with it more now, as I injured my thumb at work. [/quote] thats a shame. Wee question, I was looking at the East and Bart pre's recently- which bart pre was it, and what didn't you like about it?

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1345225076' post='1775285'] Or whether they are a mile away or clamped to each side of your head like headphones!! *runs faster.....* [/quote] Or if they are valve watts or solid state watts..... *runs past usain....*

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1345224912' post='1775281'] Cheers John, sounds like its time for a mini-bash round your place I know what you mean. I've been trolling around the interweb trying to find a decent power amp using this lightweight class D malarky that can put about 900w in 8 ohms 1500w in 4 ohms. Can't believe that there isn't a dedicated mono musical instrument power amp available like this. If Orange can do a 1000w Terrorbass that is basically their front end in front of a B&O power amp module, surely somebody somewhere will have thought of using a similar amp module to produce a decent mono power amp? [/quote] I guess most power amps aren't designed to be moved much, unlike musician's amp which have to be cleared on and off stage.

Babicz V Badass.... which is best for a P-Bass?
LukeFRC replied to Bass-Thing's topic in General Discussion
In my opinion. the best bridge on a P bass is a BBOT one. I would avoid anything "hi-mass" -
[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1345223165' post='1775255'] Fabulous! I'm sitting noodling through it at the minute (coupled with my pair of DB12's and a 1200w power amp it is 'overkill' for a practice rig but... what the hell ) and it is a great bit of kit but then again so is the TF and unless I can find a very lightweight power amp (ideally 1U), the TF will remain my main amp! [/quote] very lightweight... but you don't like class D right? So you want a big transformer in a little box. Might look like this....

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1345222389' post='1775246'] Just to give you some options Kev... I have a Warwick Hellborg 1U rackmount preamp that you can borrow. I know it isn't 'exactly' what you want but it might be worth experimenting (I have a power amp to go with it but it isn't one of the uber-light ones). [/quote] how is the Hellborg?
-
No one mentioned the effect the type/size of speakers used will have yet? *runs for cover*

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1345202861' post='1774891'] Don't get me started!! Luke, I need your help! [/quote] Can't help with the status but Swap you my warwick for your Jvs

[quote name='rushers' timestamp='1345193891' post='1774719'] I don't know if it's just me and my sick mind, but I always thought that the Corvettes body contour (If that's a phrase?) looks like some kind of sexual object and when I was looking for a new bass a while back most of my mates seemed to agree.....And that's the story of why I didn't get a Warwick. [/quote] they make other basses other than the corvette you know?
-
[quote name='Torben Hedstrøm' timestamp='1345190216' post='1774665'] Thanks ... It really is, I only wonder if the GAS ever stops. [/quote] I had a 3 bass rule and kept buying and selling. When I got to a two bass rule I found the risk of moving one of mine on and regretting it was enough to stop me! The dolphin looks an odd one to move on! -
[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1345192780' post='1774701'] Better than Mr. Hunt... [/quote] no, you're Warwickhunt - and like a Brazilian footballer you only have one name. It's a bit like Pele isn't Mr Pele- he's just Pele. If we did shorten it it would be to "the 'hunt" Mind you Bolinowskywickhunt would also be suitable now I think?
-
[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1345159137' post='1774560'] Indeed! My name is Garey - and its a pleasure to be a part of BC! Thanks! [/quote] I dunno, Mr Warwick would be a good name too!
-
pick up only though
-
it looks lovely! Pretty rate these Bravewoods, the only one I know for sale is the P bass in Rick's Fine 59's sig.
-
more nice basses Torben!
-
I PMed you some nicer info
-
it's what you get used too. I used to have a fat bassman sounding rig. I was happy. Now I have clean solid state... and i'm happy.
-
I would get your screwdriver out and take the three squiers to bits to make one UBER bass, and one very good fretless. and the other one.
-
not a clue but that switch sure does say [color=#a52a2a]"flick me"[/color] !

my guess... two semitones?

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1345138863' post='1774215'] Yep, I agree, though damage is a little easier to spot. Good point about setups, too - I've seen some shockers. Wobbly necks due to shop temperatures? Where was this, the Sahara branch of Music Ground? [/quote] rather not say, apart from the daft temperatures it's a great wee shop so I don't want to do them down.

There was a thread stuck up here. (with an address) and rightly hidden by the mods about a scam. Like a lot of the scams they seem to pick far away places, orkney or the highlands of Scotland. Having lived in scotland for quite a long time can I make one suggestion if a good item is offered somewhere way up north.... the highlands and islands are not that populated... and generally if you stick in a name, say Mary Roberts, and where she's from say, Isle of Mull - the internet will bring something up about her from the community webpages, business pages, planning permission of the local government and so on. (I hope there isn't a real Mary Roberts) - while you can't do this in the city as easily you can up north get a feel for if people are likely to exist or not.
