KR, with my time pishing around with them, the most noticable differences were produced by changing pups. I wouldnt have bothered with a Bart in the Bobanez, and the Schaller was just right for it. A Bart in a US P however is something very special if you like that deep solid thump that a P produces. Where I not a 'dyed in the wool' completely blinded PRS person then, thats what I'd have - 1 fretted and 1 fretless US P bass both with Bart 8S pickups. Bet you're regretting letting the Bobanez go now arent you!

PM sent.... -
I'll forward it to my guitarist.... Godins are lovely guitars and that sounds like a bargain to me..... he is shedding at the mo rather than buying, but I'll ask anyway! -
hasnt Walbassist just parted company with one of these (A Villette IIRC) that is now residing in the galllery looking for a new home......?
-
There seems to be 2 schools of thought here, one for low action and one for setting it higher. Is it dependant on the bass/string set up? or is this a generic stance?

errm, price or link to ebay thread......?

Err folks..... I have a confession. I have been completely overcome by MK fever...! I cannot get Lessons in Love out of my head and am now desperately practicing it. Now being an out and out fingerstlye blues and rock player, this has pushed me a bit left of field.... So those of you that slap a lot is there a 'Proper" set up for slap.... Lets put it this way, having a really low ction and flats is not exactly working sound wise. Clearly roundwounds wil make a lot of difference, but is there any tips action wise? I'm currently having to slap over the 20th fret to get anything like a 1/2 decent sound...... Bit of help for a sad old git please....?

Fender Highway One..... Sell the bits you dont use and end up with a peach.

NS Design Wav bass - Amber Burst - unused
The Burpster replied to Nickytwister's topic in Basses For Sale
IS this WAV still for sale....? I cant work it out from this thread...? If so I have PM'd the OP if anyone knows them to give 'em a nudge! -
Last bump for a BC'er to have a punt at a rare and superb toy before I withdraw it and let my guitarist buy it from me!

I was hoping you meant a Heckler & Koch........ Oh well, no I haven't tried one of those basses but the pics look ok if they are to be believed!

Fleeting glimpse of interest faded away..... Still for sale!

Tom, by gum it [u]is[/u] likely. You can get dry joints or broken wires anywhere...... The nasty end of teh spectrum is that there could be broken winding in teh pick up but lets look at the obvious first! Do you have a multi meter..?

The Burpster replied to silentbob's topic in Repairs and Technical

Sounds like a dry solder joint or broken wire..... Have you checked these...?

[quote name='Beedster' post='654672' date='Nov 14 2009, 05:36 PM']And the Ovation's pretty good [/quote] Chris, it is very good, but sadly I have only so much space and tolerance from my partner.... I want another PRS = one has to go ! Sadly the Ovation is the one, as at some point in the future that EUB sound I'm after will actually be an EUB!

I use the PRS stuff, its really good, but also Ernie Ball and Gibson make very good stuff. If I'm doing a repair job I use Autoglym (Maguires similar stuff!)to get a real finish then finally with the PRS polish....

[quote name='Les' post='645217' date='Nov 4 2009, 01:28 PM']I'm assuming basses with twin pickups are designed to change sound characteristics switching between the pups with no difference in level.[/quote] Thats exactly how the PRS works, I cant vouch for the G&L tribute but even if its not set up correctly a wee bit of tinkering should have that set up balanced pretty quickly.
