  1. [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1419320376' post='2638625'] Mmmm. what necks are these? [/quote] Gaze apon my signature and all may be revealed... [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1419323079' post='2638657'] Dog skint at the moment pal, and will be until March!! Your necks were the inspiration, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford one. Just want to get the body ready first and then I'll scour the market for one [/quote] In this kind of build, the body is the element that everything else is attached to. Generally its a better idea to assemble everything else and then build the body.
  2. Two necks left if you're interested in purchasing one, Alex.
  3. The pickups I had custom wound add extra low emphasis below 50hz. It's an absolute peach of an instrument. I was planning to post some clips after Christmas was out of the way.
  4. Damn, what a shame...noone will ever fill his shoes.
  5. Humpty bumpty - will take £400 a cab excl shipping
  6. You can upload images to your messages as well as your posts...or at least I can.
  7. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1418945345' post='2635204'] Sorry for the old guy rant, but these facts are tough to argue. [/quote] Not facts, just an overwhelming majority of opinion...which won't be around for ever...
  8. Reference to Rock n Roll history is interesting. Each of us might have a different take on that. Significance for my generation is largely being overlooked (still) by our baby boomer parents through sheer numbers and control of the media as much as anything. These days when I hear a reference to the songs that defined my childhood, a small part of me cheers. Beach Boys, Beatles etc. are all very well but they're not really a part of my upbringing even though I respect their status as classic bands. Disco rules, it defined my childhood and still defines my tastes.
  9. What I like so much about it that its a very accessible style but there are still nuances to seek out once the basics are understood.
  10. Was this the one that Old Git (RIP) put together?

    Best fretless on the market, no comparisons. Gorgeous sounding. Replacing the Bart pickups with almost anything else will yield yet more articulation and clarity. I'm sticking an East MM pre with mid sweep in mine to provide more control over midrange. Pedulla's also have incredible attention to detail and build quality. Even the neck laminates are book matched and the stainless steel reinforcing bars in the neck allow for super low action.
  12. Not if I lose the Panger It's a very comfortable bass to play and I haven't really yet gotten to know it yet...and it carries on the theme set by the Alembic.
  13. Sorry the neck was bought separately and was intended as a spare. The pre EB stingray I have isn't for sale.
  14. I have something like this already set up on my Spector(s) but have opted for parallel rather than series because I then have the option of single coil settings without massive jumps of volume due to changes in voltage. Modest jumps (due to impedance changes) can be soaked up by a buffered onboard pre like the East or (by request) Noll circuits.
  15. I think I've seen reference to your band on Facebook a couple of times in the past. We must have a shared contact. Welcome BTW
  16. [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1418806309' post='2633456'] Yes, and cats! Sometimes I've thought I heard the cat miaowing outside the door, and then realised it was something in the music. I can't think of any specific tracks though and it's always when I'm listening to the radio rather than records. Something to do with higher frequencies? [/quote] Probably our neurons get wired towards being sensitive to picking up certain 'alarm' sounds and our alarm reflex is set off when we hear something that is close but not the same source[i]. [/i]I used to hear cats as well when practicing - part of it was anxiety that I'd shut one in a wardrobe or room somewhere.
