  1. Damn, if only my house renovation wasn't bleeding me dry...
  2. [quote name='chilievans' timestamp='1335539848' post='1632909'] I really want an ibanez sr4500e. Do much do that I was thinking of trading my Shuker for one[/quote] I would like to slap some sense into you.
  3. Oh...tunING! I should read the titles more clearly...
  4. Without question - Jewish wedding songs. Just mind numbingly monotonous to play on bass. I ended up on auto pilot.
  5. Got way too much gear as it is, definitely don't need more. Have already succumbed to an Eventide Pitchfactor and may end up selling the other Spector NS5CR. The rest of my GAS will be self build focussed I suspect and subject to how much money I have left over for a bandsaw, custom jig and sander thicknesser after the house renovations.
  6. [quote name='Wayne Firefly' timestamp='1313329267' post='1339648'] Just got back, no luck with Wizard pickups, says they cannot be reworked as they are epoxy dipped and he wont make replacements and the Thunderbuckers are too big and I'd have to make the pickup rout a bit bigger and Im not having that so its back to square one as I initially suspected..... buggery. Back to trawling until maybe something pops up... who knows ?? [/quote] Try Aaron Armstrong? [url="http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk/"]http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk/[/url]
  7. They did release a NAMM 100th Anniversary Stingray with a status neck on it some years ago but they sound more aggressive than Cutlass basses.
  8. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1335258149' post='1627929'] Are there any photos of the whole bass yet? I'm feeling mildly seasick from all the camera wobble and not much the wiser on what the complete bass looks like. [/quote] HARUMPHERUMPHARUMPHERAUMPH....

  9. Time to start a Basschat airmiles appeal?
  10. I don't think you want it enough.
  11. Nice, not many of them around. Necks all like bananas though.
  12. That recording is sweetened quite a bit. But I do rate the design and ergonomics of Tobias basses.
  13. Space is very limited, tickets are likely to be in short supply...
  14. [quote name='sprocket123' timestamp='1335140299' post='1626353'] My Pedulla already has SBs[/quote] I know but they should be for a 6 string bass, not a 5.
  15. [quote name='sprocket123' timestamp='1331328534' post='1571620'] Here s the link for Aero Instrument Pickups ; [url="http://www.aeroinstrument.com/"]http://www.aeroinstrument.com/[/url] Yep , I ordered it with soapbars , I thought about having Aero Instrument biulding me some crackerhead PUs lol [/quote] It may be worth ordering 6 string soapbars and then having the bass routed to take the larger size. You'll end up with a better result technically. What difference that makes to your ears may be something else though. I just know I didn't like the Barts on mine and replacing them with something more even sounding worked really well. [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1329596146' post='1544779'] I'd be very interested in the results of this Kiwi.... [/quote] BTW Jay, Eventide Pitchfactor arrived today. However am in the process of moving into my half-renovated house ATM so may not be in a position to give the pedal a thorough review for a while yet. Am curious to see how well it does the arp though...
  16. OMG...I thought Tony Goggle had retired.
  17. Despite the other basses, I couldn't live without a 5 string. Still in awe of my customised natural finish Spector for the looks, sound and feel. If the body was a little wider it would be perfect but I can live with three and a half out of four. If I had to sell all the others, I could still live with this one and it could cope with most gigging situations.

    [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1335036511' post='1625133'] Today would have been Oldgit's birthday - I do think we're poorer for not having the old bugger to keep us out of mischief Happy birthday Si - still missed, chief. [/quote] Amen.
