A few younger guys but I don't see your age being a problem. The only thing that is expected is that you treat other peoples gear with care and respect.

Hi
You are on the list mr monk I will be in touch shortly.

There in lies the problem. If it is not on the door step it is to much trouble. Which in turn means no one organises anything.

Not driving however does make things more difficult and that is fair enough.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' post='997632' date='Oct 22 2010, 11:15 PM']Why is always on a sunday??? I got church. Why not a saturday[/quote]



Most guys work Monday to Friday. That leaves Saturday to get to Moffat and go out for the curry then Sunday for the bash.
Saturday would make that all more awkward.

Don't get me wrong some guys come a long way and it is appreciated. The bulk of the guys attending come from the north of England and most travel a good bit further than from the central belt.

Last one there was a bit of interest several people said there would be down on the Sunday I made provision for that not one turned up. The next event will be ticket only and bought in advance so we know what we have with regard to funds before the event.

This was just post in response to some questions on another forum.

Things are under way. We will confirm the date once every thing is booked and I can confirm the number of rooms available in the hotel.
Once we have everything sorted out we will update the Moffat Bass-bash website and start taking bookings. There will be the weekend ticket which will include accommodation and the bash and a day ticket for just the Sunday.

This is a ticket only event not a turn up on the day event. For the Sunday a ticket must be bought in advance. The ticket prices will be announced along with every thing else and will be the same as before non refundable.
We are working on getting someone to come along and give a small clinic /performance same as last year and hopefully a few builders will be present as well.

New feature this year will be the song list. There will be a list of possible songs set up in a poll to select a short list of say 10/15 songs. These you can learn or at least the ones you want to play and then played along with the house band. We had the band last time but not everyone wants to just jam so this will introduce some structure and while jamming will still be on the cards this we hope will encourage more people to get up and have a go.

I hope to sort out some discount in the cafe same as previous years.

Just to be clear this is not a profit making event. All money is spent on the event or on expenses for anyone playing/performing. If there is a surplus it will be donated to a local charity,last year the school piano fund.

Once we are up and running any questions can be answered by myself or Dave Perry all cash has to be sent to me.




If there are enough ladies coming along the Mrs will sort out something for them to do if they want as I have no doubt listening to basses all day may not be entirely their idea of a weekend away.

There will be another Moffat bash in the not to distant future we are just sorting out the details. From my own experience trying to get fellow Scots to attend the bash has been difficult very few ever show any interest so that may be the problem and why so few are in Scotland we don't bother turning up.

I will bet Pete wished he had got that for it.

ETS will make a 15 mm spacing I have several headless sets in that size. Not cheap though and would need to be ordered as it is a custom size.

You wont be disappointed with the pre-amp. If you look inside you will see two white trim wheels which allow you to change the frequency of the bass and treble pots. This allows a degree of customisation to suit your own needs.

Those are really good. As is well documented I am crap at taking pictures. Can I steal them for my site.

bump.

I have used several East preamps with Armstrong pickupscand have been very happy with the results.

Yes the filters are the same and if you take the treble filter right out as well. On the Recurve the treble path is coming from the mag pickup. Inside the cavity there is a trim pot on the main board that allows the treble feed to come from either of the two inputs. This can be varied to any point between the two. I usually put it fully on the mag because the piezo can be a bit over powering in the treble department. If you feel you want more top end moving this more towards the piezo will give you it.

I would be really interested in your thoughts regarding the two piezo setups to see if the chambering makes a difference. Different woods as well which will make a difference but hopefully not as much as the chambering.

Alan

There are 4 body shapes so not just that one. 6 strings I am not sure about I will see if there is any interest. That 5 is a 35" scale.

Wound by Aaron Armstrong and in a wood effect housing.
Ceramic magnets in one and Alnico in the other. 4 tag humbuckers.
Size 115mm x 26 mm so will work in a 5/6 string.

£75 inc delivery.

I have fitted them on to my usual headstock so it should be OK. If you want I can supply the extender as well.

Alan

Hi
The pre-amp does require more than average in terms of power there is a lot going on in there. In this case with that amount of playing I don't think there is a problem just a monster wmount od use.

Alan

Best of luck with the Buckeye, finding it will not be that difficult in the US here not so easy,working with it is a complete pain.

What are you looking for.

That is certainly a new one on me. But now that you mention it they do click having used a few on my friends farm,just never occurred to me that there would be electric fences near your house.

Best of luck finding it. It took me about a week to work out what was causing the clicking.

As always.

I will have a chat with John East and see if he can suggest anything. I frankly have no idea what it could be having never heard of this before in relation to any of the basses.
