The Burpster

Do quadruplets count.....? My 4 PRS EB IVs are all the same model but they are not all indentical..... In fact considering they are all the same model they all 4 have distinct characters.....

Bugger. All the same as I currently have........ Thank you Mrs T for looking! Oh and thank Mr T from me too! BB, thanks for the offer I'm going to try the 2 shops in Lincoln tomoro, I may be lucky and find somthing that will do temporarily..... Thanks again to those that have replied....

Rich, replied to PM, thanks for your help.... Mrs T, do all of Mr Ts strings stiil live in thier packets...? Do any look like these....?

If his string colection does look like those above could you get back to me and I'll PM my fone #. Bob

Is anyone within 50miles of Lincoln got an unused set of D'addario ECB81 Chromes (45-100) that I can blag until I can get some sent.....? I want to restring my new acquistion before I go away on Weds, and it wont take 50-105s which is what I now use on the PRSs..... At the min I would settle for a set of EXP170 (45-10) if anyone has a set of them uncut..... (Me..! roundwounds...? what is the world coming to!) Thanks in advance if anyone can help....

You could buy a proper bassmute for less than that..... you get SPARE pads with those......

Pedster, that being the case I'll put money on the Silver one on my Swampy PRS is your old one from your old Bacchus!!!!! Pics - I will do when I get my shoite together.... Nikon havent done an upgrade to ViewNX for Snow Leopard yet so I have to do everything pic wise by proxy...... PITA!

Haven't Monster cables been known to have resistors built into them to filter out mids and highs to get the "bassy sound..." was a big article somewhere in one of the comics a few years ago.... My g'tarist used to use a (very expensive) Whirlwind cable (I'm sure he paid well over £40- for a braided toaster one) until I made him one the same spec as OBBM does. He hasnt used the Whirlwind since, quoting the Van Damme and Neutrik lead is brighter and looses less signal than the Whirlwind.....

OBBM is the man, will make them up for sensible money.....

So surely its not just me thats using them......? My 'burst PRS (the ex-Rhino Edwards one) has soooo much sustain its a pain at times, even with flats on. The BM dulls this down to a rich gentle ring and then cranked all the way over to a lovely EUB thud. I know I'm a tackle tart - but these really do make a difference worth every penny....! Ped did you sell your 5 string one on....? I ended up buying a 5 string Chrome one from a BCer, that I got the 4 string bits for from Ellio (proper gent!) that now sits on my Swampy PRS.....

So I finally got 'round to fitting my bassmutes to the PRSs..... For thosoe of you unaware [url="http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_mainframe.html"]http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_mainframe.html[/url] They are so goddam useful.... Back to my original question, who else has got, and uses one (with the exception of Dood and Ped or was it CK...who put me onto them!)....?

[quote name='matski' post='670149' date='Nov 30 2009, 04:47 PM']Oh no, this is really bad news. My MM Cutlass I had a brass nut fitted when I bought it back in the late 80s - therefore it is not 100% original. I guess that means it's worthless now... [/quote] Absolutely, it means its worth exactly £7.59p. I'd like 1st dibs please!

Contact the man behind them see what he says..... These were designed by Rolf Spuler for Ibanez.. I'm sure he'll be able to answer your questions......

Just a thought, Anyone tried a back to back compariosn between an XL-2 and teh new Synapse.....? Curious... Oh and sifi how much is yor Synapse up for...? Bob.

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='668518' date='Nov 28 2009, 05:39 PM']hum is either from bass, lead or head. touch a string. If the buzz goes it's the earthing. turn down the volume on the bass. If it goes, its the bass or pups. use another new lead. If it goes its the lead. other wise its the amp, or the way you are using it. try more gain and less volume on it. (or less gain more volume, but i guess it would be the other)[/quote] What he said.......

ooooooooooops!

US ones are a 4-40 thread IIRC..... An MIJ may be metric tho' I had a Jap fender some time ago but I cant recall now.......

Well I guess I should add my chit to the DT-10 camp. Thats whats on my pedal board. I do use a Peterson VSAM for set ups tho'..... Near enough, is not good enough for me.

I cant find a link off either the Status page or the Stratii page!
