[quote name='yorick' post='424265' date='Mar 3 2009, 04:10 PM']Are you one of the traitorous ones who have slipped to the dark side and play righty???? [/quote] I was corrupted from an early stage in my musical development. I now do two things right handed, the second of which is playing bass.

i have one of these. Its great. My old freeview box used to go on the blink and I really couldn't be arsed getting up and down all the time to turn it on and off to reset it. I've thrown the box out and replaced it now but the remote power thingy is still handy if I ever do a shared billing and want to turn my amp off to prevent someone else from using it.

its probably a dry solder joint.

Nice pics gents, would it be possible to put a few usernames to faces at all?

[quote name='Prosebass' post='422566' date='Mar 1 2009, 07:22 PM']If electronics don't play such a big role and its "the wood" then why do so many hand-built high end basses come with complex expensive pre-amps ?[/quote] Because thats what a potential market, who mostly have appearances and word of mouth from over excited new owners to judge these instruments by, expect?

Alembic offer a filter per pickup on their Series basses. I have a vague feeling some of the more exotic BC Riches might have had an eq per pickup as well.

Last gig with my band Hulagroove tonight for me and the drummer. We played Waddestone Manor - very nice venue. Good crowd too, slighly posh but they enjoyed themselves without getting absolutely hammered. The food was an endless supply of BBQ kebabs of various kinds. Blimey, I must have put away about 12 of them, most of which were vege. I took the Shuker Headless for a test drive and had mixed results. I can hear the potential of the bass, its going to sound f***ing fantastic if/when it starts relaxing. However at the moment it was tight, a bit boomy and lacking in upper mids. However what surprised me was that, depending on the eq, I was hearing elements of Smith, Status and Musicman in the sounds I was getting (and loads of really soft sounding growl). In some respects the bass sounded too soft and polite. Standing away from the speaker I was getting lots of lows (ironic given my comments on the lack of warmth at lower volumes in the build diary) and some snap but still not a lot of mids (which had to be boosted). I also had a few issues with the neck width and I might have to see if Jon can narrow the nut width down too. However when I dialled in some mids there was loads of growl. Awesome. I really started to lament the lack of speaker cones pointing at my head. Might have to use my spare time now planning a couple of DIY speaker builds perhaps...

lol

Adam Claypool?

My Celinder Classic P is pretty awesome too but there's loads out there to choose from.
