I'm pretty sure I'm the second best bass player in my band. All this talk of sacking folk has got me on edge
-
Nope, don't like Jazz necks. Strings are just too close together for my sausage fingers. Give me a Precision (or wider) neck any day. It's probably because I'm so poor technically that I need more margin for error

If the pickup is wax potted then that helps protect the coil.

+1 Just replace the neck. It'll be cheaper than repairing the broken one, even if you buy a brand new one. -

neepheid replied to Wayne Firefly's topic in Repairs and Technical
An Artec SE-2 should replicate that functionality in 4 pots. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_se2_basselektronik.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_se2_basselektronik.htm[/url] I used one in my custom build, was quite pleased with it. -
Mikey, you have PM... -
[quote name='teaser360' post='486666' date='May 13 2009, 09:52 AM']Ive decided to sell my Hartke Ha3500 head as it is to loud for home use, cant even get it up to half a notch without annoying the wife and neighbours. may trade for a decent bass, ie thunderbird or bb series yamaha[/quote] Turn down the preamp? I can get acceptable practice volumes into an 8ohm cab with master volume at 1

We've got a Beatles cover up (Long Long Long), no-one's bothered us about it. I think the pertinent word in the MySpace terms is "create music". "Uploading music you did not create" is not the same as "Uploading songs you did not write". Of course I could be wrong, but that's the way I read it.

Agreed - 8lbs is erring towards lightweight for a bass.

Epiphone - quirky Gibsons without the expense.

Hey Huw, welcome aboard

My Epiphone Les Paul Standard bass has a prettier headstock inlay than the Gibson. Actually, the Gibson doesn't have one! Go figure, I just find that amusing.

Tom bought my pimped Squier Bronco, paid promptly and maintained good comms throughout. I would not hesitate to deal with him in the future.
-
The bass is now sold! -
It's smaller than a Model One. It's roughly guitar humbucker sized, give or take a mm. Mounting is also similar, with threaded holes in lugs protruding from the bottom edges, expecting to be mounted with springs either into a pickguard or a mounting ring. I fixed up a Gibson Ripper recently which had one of these at the bridge.
-
The bass is sold, pending payment.

Planet Waves SOS tuner.

I'm not going to inflict my views on everyone, all I will say is that I do not want a reliced instrument in the same way I don't want a reliced car.

Grump!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='481920' date='May 7 2009, 01:19 PM']The Array is probably my least favourite of the Traben 'bigger bridges' It reminds me too much of naff 'metal' tattoos.[/quote] +1 The only Traben I would consider owning is the Chaos - no coincidence that it has the most conventional looking bridge out of all of them...

[quote name='gafbass02' post='481446' date='May 6 2009, 09:40 PM']That logo and face mounted jack affair looked horrifc imho and def cost em a sale from me in the past. I do understand that perhaps that sharing a logo with the branded wicks may debatably devalue the german wicks in the eyes of more gear obsessed types as us, but hey ho, it'll shift more units I'm sure![/quote] The recessed, front mounted jack was only the Streamer if memory serves. It's side mounted on my Corvette.
