IMO you need a 15" bin to shift air for the deep grunty stuff and a 2 x 10" to define the upper mids and the leading edges. Build those into a combo with an amplifier and you've got more than I could be bothered to shift in one go. Plus the least wagon you'd need to move it is an estate car.

Exactly what I think. Add in the possibility to upgrade bits when wanted or needed.

Split ends!

But mostly I just wanted to do it. I was fed up of waiting hours for my hair to dry. My baby daughter pulled it all the time too.

From this:


To this:

Nice!

20 years here, albeit with a hiatus. I now feel that I am beginning to begin to understand the instrument. I wish I had not wasted a few years on guitar and that I had spent more time with music in itself rather than just the genres I like.

Lovely!

I can't seem to remember how to link on my phone, but if you look at the thread I posted last night about a bound and blocked Jazz...that bass is about all I have to say on the subject! IN LOVE!!!

Nice!!! Very nice!!!

More pics to be seen by following that link.

This has to be the sexiest bass I have seen for a long time!

Perhaps I should be looking at getting a similar neck for my Warmoth and then having the one on it now defretted? Tempting!

Look at this loveliness:

This will sound a bit unhelpful, but I recall reading a thread about this a while back (not sure which forum) and it is possible with a Hipshot, all other things being equal.

I was considering it myself on my Jazz V, but then realised that it would not be all that handy.

Nice. I fell in love with a five string version of this once.

This ^^ - Dude, long lost twin or what! Small hands mean 34" for me and it can still have a good B. But dude -I have a real headstock snobbery thing going on.

Of the Fender-style instruments' headstocks: Fender=standard classic. EBMM=good. Lakland=ok-to-good. Ibanez Blazer=cool twist. Sandberg Californias=just about pulls it off. Overwater J=good. Tanglewater J=just allright. Yamaha BB=meh. G+L=too fussy. Sadowsky=limp. Alleva Coppolo=awful (like a Fender with a sock placed over it). Lull=wanna like em but the headstock=just no. It's all about the curve and the knob on the end, or lack thereof. How can some get it so wrong?

Have I gone too far with this? Should I get my coat?

This is pretty much exactly how I feel.

The Lull headstock reminds me far too much of this:



Sorry!

Looks very nice indeed. Make it 34" and do something to [i]that[/i] headstock and I'd be in a state of incurable GAS too!

In practice they mean a constantly changing impedance load on your pickups, which changes the sound coming from them. Buffered bypass is superior for consistent sound and to avoid the switching noise: http://www.tech21nyc.com/technotes/index.html

Link above is from a company which makes pedals. Not really unbiased stuff.

Whether true bypass is something you want is another discussion; it is a real thing and not simply a large switch or marketing bollocks.

Yes, it changes your pickups' impedance which, in turn, changes the sound coming from them. That is also why people buy pedals!

True bypass is removing as much stuff out of the signal path when the effect is off as possible. I wouldn't call it marketing bollocks and it is way more than a big switch. Perhaps some reading up about what it is would be a good idea.

I have all the back issues in a box and a scanner, but I have not yet finished unpacking from a (no longer all that) recent move.

If nobody else can sort you out, drop me a line in a few weeks and I should have at least the scanner up and running!

The '78 isn't too shabby either. The necks on those two look amazing!

I rather like them when they are doing psychedelic stuff. It's when the saxophone wigs out in free-jazz style that they start to grate.

I say listen to them again.

I just turned on my PC to come here and report him. Nice to see that BC is ahead of the game.

It wasn't just the way the message was composed, it was that someone had a Warmoth Deluxe 5 lined fretless for sale!

Hello!

Probably too late to back out without seeming rude but as it's someone you know I would honestly say let the first one (if it is the first) heal before you allow for a second one. Just to make sure you're really happy with the quality (I don't know her background etc etc... might be pro, the quality DOES look good though).

Also because it is a hell of an ordeal for the body to go through. Give it a bit more time so you can recover. If you undergo another long session, you might make yourself ill.
