BassBus

That is a real cracker. The original tuner set just makes these basses look so much better, IMHO of course.

It might be technique. If you are using roundwound strings then they produce a lot more treble and will click more when you fret a note. You could try turning the tone on your bass down a bit which might help reduce the click. Flatwound strings will reduce the top end of the tone (treble), are much smother on your fingers and usually give a much warmer tone. It might also be worth your while taking the bass for a setup. Most instrument shops will have a tech who can do this or find a recommended luthier on here who can advise you. Where are you based?

OH YUM! That's a bit of a dream bass Dave.

Great stuff. That pic of you and MK on the screen is one for the family album.

If it is an S2 then snap it up. But I'm not sure for that price it will be an S2. Does it have soap bar or jazz type pickups? What controls does it have? Wooden neck or graphite neck?

That is a great view. The Sage is a great venue. I've always liked the vibe there. Hope all goes well Michael.

I should say so! I have a fretless one. Best bass I've ever had and the only one I'd take into the nuclear shelter with me. There isn't really much difference between bolt-on and neck-thru. The bolt-ons might have a slightly warmer tone to them. There isn't much difference in sustain between the two. They are no less of a bass than a neck-thru. Also a lot cheaper.

I am an idiot!

I think a lot of the measurements they use have come from buyers for specific cabs. Roqsolid will not know each and every cab available. It might be worth your while dropping them an email to inform them of this. They are very obliging.

[/quote] Yes. Stirring up a hornets nest comes to mind. Improvisation is what it is, made up as you go along. Sometimes it works really well, others it's just awful and most of the time it's just OK. I'm a big fan of Gary Willis' playing. Even he, as a master of the instrument, doesn't quite do it for me every time. The videos on youtube are only a few from JP's entire career, cut short as it was.

There you are, it's not that big. The one that got away was though. [size=4] [/size]

...and a few extra bars to get from one end of the board to the other.

Hmm. I think you missed the joke a little.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1360524467' post='1971798'] I'm assuming you mean the amp is rated at 500w @ 4 Ohms? [/quote] Yes. It's the same for all 500 waters. [size=4] [/size]

This might help you understand Ohm's Law. Taken from a post somewhere on the net in a forum, might even have been this one. [i]"The best description of ohm's law I read talked of it as two hose pipes. If you are trying to squeeze water through a 1cm pipe it can only flow as quickly as that pipe can take it, the resistance. If you then attach another 1cm pipe along side it you have twice the flow rate and half the resistance. Therefore, an amp that is rated 500w at 8 ohms can only push about 300w of power through to an 8 ohm speaker. If you connect a second 8 ohm speaker you reduce the resistance to 4 ohms and are able to use the full 500w".[/i]

I shouldn't worry Milty. I'm sure he's a teenager and as we all know teenagers try to make out it's bigger than it really is. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Welcome aboard anyway, fermented grooves.[/size]

Rick Wright did do some solo stuff and one album with Dave Harris of 80s band Fashion under the name Zee. Nothing of any note though. As bigd1 said about Syd Barrat. Some may not have ever liked Pink Floyd but don't forget that the last tour they did in 1994 out grossed Michael Jackson's tour of the same year.

It can maybe be looked at as another different instrument rather than a replacement for a double bass. Nothing will ever replace that. Even an acoustic bass guitar will never sound like a double bass. You could never make a trumpet sound like a tuba. In the right hands this could sound great.

Synthetic strings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wty6jkbteVg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhncEjUrBFw

That's been around a while now. There are other videos of it that sound a whole lot better. They don't detail prices on the web site which is annoying. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Convolution-Instruments/149260701807548

I use rounds, flats and halfwounds. They are very good strings. Just about to order some more halfwounds for two fretless basses. They are stainless steel rather than nickel. You can buy rounds in bulk packs of 6 sets which makes them even cheaper.

Best place to try is Status themselves. You can buy via their website or phone Dawn who will help you out with advice. Click on the link for 'on-line shop' and look for strings. They are very good value too. http://status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html
