The Bass Chat regulars will be waking up soon bet one of them will be able to help. Meanwhile I'm off for a caffeine fix and to have a think , maybe my head will work a little better then.

Didn't notice that the other night when I was noodling about with it, mind you we were all chatting. Are you talking an electrical buzz or a resonance type of thing with the speaker?

That's looking great Fran. Excellent work Sir

Glad to hear the op has left you pain free, that must be a huge relief for you. Hope you can manage some bass playing, should be good therapy. I'm too far away to assist but looks like you are sorted anyway.

Was about to sing his praises but he beat me to it.

I've got the SPB 3 quarter pounders in a couple of my p bass projects. Money well spent, punchy, growly and sound damned fine in a band setting. Not got experience with the others that you mentioned, other than Wilkinsons which have been in a few basses that have passed through my hands. Seemed adequate, and would do the job for not much cash. Probably not the best choice if you want a really obvious upgrade.

Sorted.

The Hoddesdon stop off added £96 to the pot. The very kind BC'er Grangur has just collected the baton from me and is personally driving it all the way down to Portsmouth on wednesday. What a top man.

Thanks to the very kind Grangur, looks like we have got this sorted.

This sounds promising, I'll pm you right now.

What Loz said.

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1376865202' post='2180230'] Good man, Gary. [/quote] just to bump it up again.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1376846841' post='2179884'] Bump, to keep this highly visible... [/quote] Good man Dad

Sorry James, don't know why but I had Southampton in mind.

I'm hoping not to have to drive all the way to Southampton, as I'm feeling a bit on the ropey ticket at the mo. If no one is making the trip, then maybe we could get some sort of relay sorted to get it back to its home in Southampton. I could get it to somewhere along the M25 for example, someone else gets it a few miles further and before we know it, it is back home.

Like James said, the bass is currently with me and I'm actually in Hertfordshire, about 15 mins from junction 25 of the M25.

DR Highbeams for me. I paid about £20 for my last set from the states, so wouldn't consider them particularly expensive. I've also been very pleased with their longevity. I gigged my G&L last night and thought the sound was spot on, growly and punchy. I put that set on last Aug/Sep, So, about a year and I think I've used that bass for about 15 or so of our gigs, some of which have been extremely hot and sweaty. I do always clean the strings down after each and every gig and give them a wipe over with Fast Fret. No plans to change at the moment, one less thing to worry about
