    Shameless plug I know, but I reckon my Yamaha TRB1005 would be perfect for you! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162608-fs-yamaha-trb-1005-trans-dark-red/

    Just thought I would warn everyone that I downloaded the Tell Your Friends from Amazon, but the first track "whitecap" is only 1:29 long instead of 8:28! It just cuts off mid-groove! It wasn't even a ballsup with the download, I looked afterwards and they advertise it as 1:29 on the track listing! I would love to complain, but it seems you can only do so if your complaint fits into one of the pre-determined categories.....

    [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1324201065' post='1471623'] That's a beauty. I few years ago I wanted a TRB1006 in Trans Red and still they look awesome. They are solid instruments and this is a reasonable price, good luck with the sale ! [/quote] Cheers man, it is a great bass but I just don't use it. Hopefully it'll go to someone who'll use it regularly and enjoy it!

    Thanks for all the responses guys! Some good suggestions there. I'm sure I've got a Curtis Mayfield "Best Of" CD somewhere....... I'll have to find it! I think I definitely to get some Isaac Hayes, and some Me'shell too. I was listening to Erykah Badu "Baduism" earlier; what a great album it is! Some nice bass parts, several of which are on DB. Smooth.....

    Bump for pictures added - apologies for the delay!

    Thanks for all the responses to my previous thread regarding funk-rock. I'm now on a quest for GREAT funky, groovy, smooth basslines. To give you an idea of the sort of thing, obviously I love Jamiroquai, I've been listening to incognito and brand new heavies, I've just found out about snarky puppy, and I love the bass playing on some of the gospel stuff (kirk franklin, etc). Any thoughts?

    [quote name='MuckedUpFunkies' timestamp='1323868802' post='1467969'] Pics? ;D [/quote] I will try to get pics up ASAP, but it may not be til tomorrow evening. I'll add it above, but just to say that the bass will come with a "vintage" Hiscox ABS case, and will also include courier delivery within mainland UK. Ta

    Hi All, Thinking of selling my TRB1005 as I really don't use it. Bought brand new last year for a specific project (which didn't last long), it has only done about 6 rehearsals and 1 gig. It is in immaculate condition, with no dings or scratches to speak of. It is Translucent Dark Red with Black hardware (this colour option is no longer available), and sounds AMAZING! The neck is lovely and easy to play, and it has an active 3-band EQ. As usual, the 35" scale means the B string is fantastic! Sound-wise it is very versatile, but always kind of reminds me of a modern, active, J-type bass; it can have real clarity and bite or a nice full, solid bottom end.

    OH MY GOD! These guys are friggin amazing! Thanks for the tip-off!

    Well, after all that I wired up the switch this evening, and the single coil sound was just to weak to be any use to me, compared to the normal humbucking sound. Oh well, at least I hadn't drilled a hole for the switch yet!

    I have the MXR M80 and Boss ODB-3, and between them I can get any overdrive/distortion sound I want (pretty much). In my current band, I usually just use the M80, and I set the clean channel as a clean boost. I don't think anyone's suggested the MXR Bass Blowtorch yet? Lots of control over the sound, but lends itself better to extreme distortion rather than mellow overdrive (as far as I can remember!).

    Just traded my Sandberg California PM for Dave's Sandberg Basic. Great guy to deal with, good communication, plenty of information and friendly too!

    I've always found them a bit unstable, especially with basses. If you want a much more stable stand, that's very compact, I would go for an Ultimate GS200 personally. [url="http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/GS-200"]http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/GS-200[/url]

    Thanks for emailing the diagram to me bremen. I've just received another (used) Sandberg Basic today, which is the one I want to put the switch in. Typically, it is wired slightly differently! The push/pull volume pot is different, and has the white and red wires soldered to the circuit board and the green and black soldered together and taped off. I'm assuming that the white is the signal and the red is the ground (as it has the bare wire with it), so I guess I can just use the same terminals accordingly.

    [quote name='Rich44' timestamp='1323087130' post='1459005'] Thanks, I looked into the GS414B, some people said the height adjustment has broke after a while. I'm guessing this is a one off, from your experience is this likely to happen? I do like that one though and its cheap enough to replace if it did ever break which is a plus. Also how does it compare to the GS412B? They seem identical with the only difference being the bottom padding (on the tripod legs vs a seperate t-bar), is it just that the 412B is more suited to asymmetrics? It does look more sturdy. Sorry, a lot of questions I know! [/quote] Never experienced any breakages with Hercules stuff, so I would say it's unlikely. In my experience the GS414B is more sturdy, and supports the instrument better at the bottom because if you adjust the height right, the bottom kind of rests between the two legs (which have padding on them) even if the body is an unusual shape. I found that the GS412B felt a little more unstable, and the back of the guitar slides very easily across the T-bar part.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1322820746' post='1456143'] They just come as they are. For example Stingrays are wired in parallel but SUBs are wired in series... same basic pups but just different wiring options. From what you've said, you have 2 wires joined but not connected to anything else this would indicate that they are wired in series which gives you the "thicker" sound option. If you took your white and sent it to the black and took the red and joined it to the green you would then be running it in parallel - easily done with a simple [url="http://static.zoovy.com/img/guitarelectronics/W500-H540-Bffffff/H/series_parallel.jpg"]switch[/url]... at this point selecting a single coil gets a bit more complicated but it's not impossible. edit : oops got them arse about tit... head fully out of bin now.... hopefully. [/quote] So....... when I wire the switch in as per the diagram, will the pickup still be working the same as it does now, when it's in Humbucking mode? Also, just wondered how sure you are that that diagram's correct, because I've bought a switch and I'll have a go at it tomorrow night if you think it'll work! Cheers.

    Hercules and Ultimate are both great stands. I would say that Hercules are more heavy duty and sturdy, and the Ultimate folds down smaller and is lighter but still very well engineered Personally, I wouldn't be at all worried about hanging from the headstock, after all this is how most guitar shops store their instruments, and if they were going to have any detrimental effect, I'm sure the manufacturers wouldn't make them. In the shop I used to work in, we used to sell Hercules GS414B stands by the bucketload; they are brilliant! I've had a Hercules Mic stand for years and it is absolutely rock solid and still feels like new many, many gigs later. Hope this helps somehow!

    [quote name='nugget' timestamp='1322775714' post='1455882'] You played great and sounded amazing, loved the tone of the sandbergs + markbass rig. Never tried markbass before but it sounded so smooth, I thought they would be more 'hi-fi' - i guess they could be but i liked the thicker sound you got out of it See ya there next time [/quote] Thanks Dave, very kind of you to say so. Whilst were complementing each other, your guitar playing was pretty smokey! Haven't played in 20 years my arse....... I'm amazed I just about managed to hold it together on the drums for a whole song!
