    Nie Rodgers uses something similar when figuring out chord progressions. Only he called it a tonal centre.

    I have two 6.0's. I think they remain an elegant and practical design despite later revisions and I like the clean power and prominent mids available.

    [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1413476228' post='2578663'] bit of delay and a boss bass chorus set with with the chorus sweep affecting frequencies from th e open G upwards sort of range [/quote] This works for me also and don't forget a bit of compression too.

    Rare thing these, he's sort of the Howard Dumble of bass amps.

    Looks like that one has a brazilian rosewood fingerboard too. Be careful taking it through customs...

    [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]My 2002 Celinder P Classic is up for sale. Chris Celinder originally made this for himself...possibly as a Donald 'Duck' Dunn tribute.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Figured maple neck with jazz bass dimensions and slab fingerboard construction (similar construction to the slab P that Mr. Entwhistle played for a bit.)[/font][/color] Candy apple red, alder body with carved heel, through body stringing and anodised scratch plate. Very little player wear - some light buckle rash on the back and small imperfections in the very thin finish. There's a yellowing of the wood [u]under[/u] the finish on the back of the neck where you might expect thumb contact, it's been there since new. The bass w[color=#141823][size=4]eighs exactly 4kg.[/size][/color] [color=#141823][size=4]Sounds like John Deacon's bass on Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Sort of bell like and a bit bouncy when string with flats. Can be growly with roundwounds on too.[/size][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Buyer collection preferred. Located just off the south circular, south east London. Or can meet on central line zone 1 or circle line.

    I've owned three....it started with a Modulus Sonic Hammer which was an outstanding bass apart from just not suitable for the music I was playing. I then moved onto a pair of Q5 Sweetspots and both had issues - the neck on the fretless was bent and the fretted one was very brittle sounding. I've not really gone back since but have a soft spot for their pink over blue finish. An FB5 in pink over blue would be hard to resist.

    Nile signed my strat last month.

    I have a 1975 Fender Jazz for trade. Interested?

    Wardrobes!

    Kiwi posted a topic in Recycling

    I have two wardrobes that are surplus to requirements. The first is a double wardrobe, approximately 2m high. It seems to be made from solid pine and is of very sturdy construction. [attachment=173271:DSC_0024.JPG] [attachment=173272:DSC_0025.JPG] The second is a double plus one wardrobe, also 2m high and made from solid pine - but is lighter in construction. The extra side unit can be detached from the double unit if the top of the wardrobe is removed. [attachment=173273:DSC_0019.JPG] [attachment=173274:DSC_0023.JPG] Collection from Hither Green in South East London (just south of Lewisham).

    Trace built a model call the Quatravalve back in the early 90's and V6 in the late 90's. Phil Jones currently make a guitar amp call the Cub. WEM built an amp called the Dominator back in the 60's. The amps need some marketing thought behind them - some key associations between the amp line and something his target market already thinks is cool. Mark Gooday did it something similar with Ashdown and associations with classic English motoring.

    [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1409340014' post='2538880'] Management and label interest brings the cynic out in me! [/quote] Oh yes. And the manager then ask us to play for free in exchange for royalties...only for the singer to be signed and dump their manager along with the royalties agreement.

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1412104402' post='2565742'] From what i've seen looking into it a couple of years ago, i'd probably look at SIMS Custom Shop. [/quote] They're definitely good but charge eye watering prices compared to automotive refinishers.

    I remember Eric Clapton fluffing the crescendo bit in the guitar solo to Layla on (I think) the Princes Trust Rock Gala dvd from 1988. [I don't have headphones in the office atm so will have to post the time when it happens after I get home.] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUHY3Jk_aFc[/media] I like the mistakes in most live performances, it reminds me that we're all human. I saw Little Britain many years ago and they were actively trying to put each other off by improvising unexpectedly. When it worked, it was hilarious. The Pythons made boo boos at the O2...John Cleese couldn't stop himself corpsing during the Penguin TV sketch and Michael Palin would try to adlib during the cheese shop sketch in order to put him off. In both cases, the mistakes were the best bit.

    Yeah thanks Mark, I've spoken to him in the past on another topic and he seems OK. His place was walking distance up until last month. But since the shift, it's an hour away on public transport. If there are no alternatives, I'll give him a call.

    I'm looking for an amp tech in SE London. I have options for Central and West London but just interested to see if there is someone closer.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1412376832' post='2568514'] wow. a bit OT and don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that one, theres a story there, but prob best not told..... [/quote] Thank you for your opinion. You're not supposed to respond at all...you are free at all times to step away from the computer and find something else to do.

    [quote name='visog' timestamp='1412106721' post='2565772'] I like the idea of a pro-UK builder but the current stock doesn't reflect this yet. More Shukers,Overwaters, Enfields, Wals, Statii and GBs![/quote] Y'know...Not naming names at all, but one of those companies owes one of the others some money for the supply of facing wood. They know who they are and I hope they see this message, feel a little guilty and do the right thing.

    The screw attaching the tuner knob to the string anchor has come out. Just screw it back in again and make sure it goes into the string anchor.

    Plenty of support on here for Hartke.

    I can't remember - it might have been an EBS Microbass pre. But most active PA cabs are designed to take line level inputs so have their own preamp stages.

    [quote name='Pixiechick23' timestamp='1411123371' post='2556651'] 4 strings, don't care what colour. There's one for sale on here if it's not gone [2 I'm looking at, one a stingray, one a sterling] 2EQ from BassVentura-FretDetective and I gotta say it's tempting me a little more than the Sterling if it's not gone yet. [/quote] A lady bass player I know prefers a Sterling. Same sound as a Stingray but with jazz like neck width.
  25. Kiwi
    I played through a Wharfdale active PA cab for a while. It sounded fantastic. The only thing we had to be careful of was overheating. The amps work harder to push low frequencies out and if the cooling system isn't up to the job then things can get toasty.
