  1. I don't like the look of Maple necks but I love the look of Rosewood and Ebony. My favourite is a lacquered Rosewood fretboard, love it.
  2. One of these, http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/selmer/speakers/spk15.html. A match made in heaven. I used a a pair of these with a metal clad T & B 100 in 1968, sounded wonderful. Mine just had Goodmans 18s in them though.
  3. Up, up and away, bump.
  4. Another bump.
  5. I just play it until I remember it. Then learn the lyrics on top of that. I find that learning both helps a lot when it comes to arrangements. Once I've played it live once, it normally stays there and becomes second nature. The problems come when I have to think about it then I forget the lot.
  6. Interestingly, our guitarist has recently received his army pension and instead of doing the sensible thing, like you are and buying his dream instrument, it seems that he's buying as many cheap guitars as he can. So far he's got about 20 and they're all stored in his attic as she who must be obeyed mustn't know that he's been spending money. We've never seen them but we hear about them all the time.
  7. Different tack here. Try one of these, http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BDI21.aspx, I think it will get you where you want to go. Nothing wrong with EMGs either in my opinion. They're great pickups.
  8. If you get rid of it now you'll probably never afford to replace it. I'd keep it and get rid of the cheaper one.
  9. Have you thought of going down the DIY route? Bill's T39s are well worth a look and build. Martin quality at Behringer prices. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/T39.html
  10. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Still for sale or thinking about it, trades could be interesting. What you got?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’ve decided that my left handed Danelectro DC bass has to go. I’ve got too many basses and as much as I love this bass I’ve got others I love just as much.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Long scale, decent machine heads and bridge and a joy to play. Pretty good condition and a fantastic sound and so light you’d never know you’ve playing it for 2 or more hours. It’s got a few light scratches but not really noticeable as the photos show.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]These are getting a bit scarce now as they discontinued them a few years ago.[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]NOW SOLD![/color][/font] [b] Attached Thumbnails[/b][list] [*] [*][url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2012/post-18240-0-94121000-1353085140.jpg"][/url] [*][url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2012/post-18240-0-37690500-1353085180.jpg"][/url] [*][url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2012/post-18240-0-28873100-1353085266.jpg"][/url] [/list]
  11. Bumpity, bumpity.
  12. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Poor old Keith has always looked like that.[/font][/color]
  13. What they said. One p/u to each side then it's either p/u or both.
  14. Try this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI9Y9MsmnEc
  15. I've got a pair of these, http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/lighting/stage/prolight-equinox-mega-bar-system, controlled by one of these, http://www.thomann.de/gb/botex_dc2448_light_operator.htm, and it's fantastic. Our lighting guy does a really great job manually controlling the desk but you can also use it automatically with all the presets and chases. Recommended. The lights also come with a footswitch controller so you don't actually need a DMX controller but it does make for a more versatile light show.
  16. Mine cost £220 new in 1972. Would have been £200 but it was an extra 10% for left handed. It would also have been en extra 10% for a colour instead of sunburst.
  17. Still won't let me upload photos bump. If you'd like photos, PM me and I'll send them.
  18. I've got a 3 position L/P type on mine, works great.
  19. Just to let you know, still can't upload.
  20. First thing to come off my P Bass and off the Rick as well.
  21. Not a lot of difference in the coil tap to my ears, especially on the top string. More variation in the EQ.
  22. I've been trying to upload photos as well and it 'aint 'aving it.
