  1. I have fretfx, in fact that's me in the background on the testimonials page. I rate them very highly indeed as a practical solution. Not keen on the newest battery box though.
  2. Mother, I am soiled...
  3. Looks great, having not long finished a jazz bass build myself I'm loving it.
  4. Yep. In 5.1 etc the centre is considered the most important speaker as it carries most of the soundtrack, primarily the vocals. The sub does just that, just the sub stuff, I used to run two subs in a 6.1 set up, I've since dumped both and my centre rear, and let my floorstanders handle the low end and actually prefer the more 'together' sound. That said after spending ten years as a richer sounds manager and having escaped I'm rather less picky these days than I used to be.
  5. I got this from custom world guitar parts, it's a maple unlined fretless jazz neck. The dots are in the fretted position, which is my preference tbh. It's to be supplied with a filed nut, but without tuners or bushings or string retainer, pre-drilled to fit fender style bodies. It's had virtually no use! I'll provide pics of it off the bass ASAP Here it is in situ [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/7A377A77-6620-43DE-B7FE-58EBADCA18F4_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/7A377A77-6620-43DE-B7FE-58EBADCA18F4_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And on a video http://youtu.be/4v1u7f3HqOA I'll post in UK. Would entertain jazz pickups as a swap. £50 plus postage uk only
  6. I won't be buying from them after seeing this
  7. Reminds me of the time I was sound checking at Glasgow SECC and my phone was in my pocket, right by my wireless transmitter, when the mrs called. Goddamn that 'ba dapa dap dapa dap' was LOUD!!
  8. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1407104244' post='2517452'] My phone goes into flight mode or off when on stage. Nothing worse than amps picking up interference or your mum calling you to ask how your gig is going. [/quote] This. Apart from the mum bit.
  9. You may have come across some of my posts. I loved mine, it didn't feel quite as 'upmarket' as the various rays I've owned, cheapo chrome work etc but nothing too bad, and had a coolness of it's own. It kinda felt like generic Korea built type basses. Sadly mine had to go back as the neck was hugely unstable and had terrible fret sprout and a shockingly badly made neck/fretboard. Not a problem used, but I payed full new price cause I wanted the colour scheme/thin neck. I'd try another in a heart beat though.
  10. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1406662891' post='2513571'] Is this unusual then, or am I missing something really obvious? [/quote] My thought also, ? Still cool like, but just, playing bass?
  11. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1406934428' post='2516134'] I really rather like this (and I usually don't like Gibson basses much). Lovely colour [/quote] What he said!
  12. I'm after a clear one, anyone got a recommendation?
  13. The base plates are too large, it's like tuner holes are a couple of mm closer together than standard.
  14. Good point on tuners, wilkinson regular elephant eats won't fit. I used these, but still had to use the wilkinson bushings as they were slightly smaller. Nut needed a lot of filing too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140642921579 My results [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/2082DBA3-5EB5-4087-A1C5-1A696CC8F7AA.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/2082DBA3-5EB5-4087-A1C5-1A696CC8F7AA.jpg[/IMG][/URL] fretted And fretless [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/7A377A77-6620-43DE-B7FE-58EBADCA18F4_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/7A377A77-6620-43DE-B7FE-58EBADCA18F4_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  15. Totally agree, best chilis song and flea bass line by a mile IMHO ime ymmv etc
  16. I swapped mine out for fretted last night, very pleased as well :-) although getting the bushings in both necks has been a bit traumatic!!
  17. Bump I can post, but the cost would probably not be worth it.
  18. I've made this same discovery over the past three years, where nearly my gigging has been on guitar.
  19. I have a tc BH250, fits in my gig bag pocket along with my main amp, a markbass MoMark 800. Very handy thing to have
  20. I have a couple of custom world gp necks. The fretless one is amazing, easily on par with mighty mite. Apart from the dots being positioned for a fretted neck. As it happens this is my preference though, so no big. The fretted one 'would' be on par with mighty mite if there wasn't quite so much dark coloured filler around the blocks, which lets down an otherwise outstanding neck.
