paul, the

Cheers guys. Despite my high fibre diet, I've yet to have any 18" speaker induced spontaneous bowel movements. There's still time. Any more input? Speaker/wattage recommendations? [quote name='Buzz' post='67938' date='Sep 30 2007, 11:51 PM']You know, as it's a collectible and vintage, changing from the stock speaker will disrupt the value if you ever intend to sell it on (in say 20 years) yes? Just thought I'd mention it. Looks LOVELY by the way.[/quote] Thanks for the input Buzz. Tone comes first for me, well second after sparkly blue tuck 'n' roll - and the stock just doesn't quite cut it for me. I can always keep it anyway. I'd rather have a spare 15 in a box then have the combo [i]and[/i] a monster of an 18 cab.

[quote name='OldGit' post='68132' date='Oct 1 2007, 01:40 PM']Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it through the Grapevine" .. Gladys Knight's original is fab but Marvin Gaye just got it spot on right ... Edit. I just read the Wikipedia history of the song and it seems Marvin's was version 3 and Gladys' version 4 of the song cos Berry Gordy vetoed the release of the Marvin version So Marvin's is still a cover (of the Smokey Robinson and the Miracles version) :0 I wonder how many other Motown songs did that kind of run around. No wonder there's confusion over who's playing bass on the hits.[/quote] Grapevine was Gladys' song. Gaye's got enough of his own.

Anyone tried one of the Warwick WCA cabs? They do a 112 as well.

Any ideas where to order them online, in Europe hopefully? Cheers, ervert[/quote] I went to US Ebay - £26 in total if I recall. That was about a year ago now though.

BC delivers! Welcome to the forum Phil! Stratacoustic? Do tell (and show).

Loves it!

Nice, I really like the pickguard holes.

Hello all, This is my Kustom Charger. The Kustom Charger was made from 1968 through 1971. It was 130 watts RMS and sold for $495. It was available with two different 15" speakers; a CTS brand or an Altec upgrade. Less than 500 were produced. Medium level collector value. The tuck 'n' roll is made of Naugahyde and has metal flake within, making it glitter like it does. It weighs 7 stone - 45kg. Only two and a half less than me I have been playing it through my Peavey 18" recently as I prefer the tone but I'm hoping to change the speaker in the combo so I thought I'd ask for recommendations. The amp has a warm, sweet, vintage tone and to be honest, makes my Trace combo sound like bollocks in comparison. It has a sweet midrange funky tone on the jazz bridge pup but quite hollow through the P pup. The stock speaker remedies this to some extent though. I really don't know about SPL and recommended wattages and the like. I was thinking of going neodymium to save on weight(?) I do know that the stock speaker used to distort at high volume whereas the 4 ohm Peavey cab hasn't at all. I did play the stock full volume today, though, and it was fine. Thanks guys and girls, piccys below. paul.

I don't think looking at resale value is a very positive thing to have in mind when purchasing a bass. If a bass is of good quality and deserved reputation, then it should sell itself. If resale value is a lingering issue, just make sure he buys used and in good condition. Fender jazzes are generally popular on merit. However, there will always be a lot of competition and a few fakes.

It would look a lot better with a normal black P pickguard though. Now just get into a symphonic pop band.

Whose the bassist for The (Young) Rascals (The Blue-eyed soul band)? "Groovin, on a Sunday afternoon"

I really like it! And I have excellent taste I wasn't expecting that either - major shock value.

I'd go with a Tech 21 Landmark 120 if we're talking combos under 300watts.

That looks great! Love something a bit different on something ordinary. *changes name*

[quote name='Bass Culture' post='67414' date='Sep 29 2007, 04:30 PM']I bought one about 3 months back for a Yamaha TRB 1004 I'd picked up. I'd say it was a pretty decent case for the money . The interior velvet is red and there's a nice leather trim on the top and bottom edges. I'm certainly happy enough with mine but I would add the proviso that we only gig once every month or so so it doesn't really have a hard life on the road. Don't know if that helps or not? Pip pip! Mark[/quote] That's all I need! Thank you very much .

Is Basschat doing anything on the day for publicity?
