  1. Sell what's not being used. Instruments are there to be played. It helps to come up with specific reasons to sell. So far this year: OLP MM3 - string spacing too narrow Epi EB-3 - neck too narrow Squier Bronco - just not getting played bare Epi EB-0 - a failed attempt to keep an SG style bass in the herd Rockbass Corvette - same, plus I have no interest in modding it.
  2. Welcome to the forum
  3. +1 for trying a heavier gauge of string with the low tuning.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Welcome aboard, fellow NE Scotland dweller
  7. If the pickup is wax potted then that helps protect the coil.
  8. +1 Just replace the neck. It'll be cheaper than repairing the broken one, even if you buy a brand new one.
  9. 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.
  10. [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
  11. Welcome to the forum Nice Precision...
  12. Welcome to the forum
  13. 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.
  14. Agreed - 8lbs is erring towards lightweight for a bass.
  15. Epiphone - quirky Gibsons without the expense.

    N0ob!

    Hey Huw, welcome aboard
  17. 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.
  18. Tom bought my pimped Squier Bronco, paid promptly and maintained good comms throughout. I would not hesitate to deal with him in the future.
  19. The bass is now sold!
  20. 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.
  21. The bass is sold, pending payment.
  22. Planet Waves SOS tuner.
  23. 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.
