Hi all, This has probably been covered a million times, but where currently is the best place to get decent precision bodies and necks from. I mean untreated bodies, all pre drilled and routed, just ready for painting - and the accompanying necks? Cheers.

The behringer bdi21 at around £30 new is phenomenal value - especially if you're trying preamps for the first time.
-
Love that red gold and white one, that's really nice. Love that headstock too.

That's an electron green finish. Itll cure p bass gas in an instant

and this colourful beast might put you off.

I have a set of dimarzio model p in my john deacon bass. Great pickup. However I also have a standard player precision and (after not having one for a bit) am now remembering how to use these properly. If you experiment with the volume you get different tones (with the tone on the same setting) - not just quieter/louder versions of the same thing. Opening up fully adds real edge and dare I say more wider or polyphonic sound. Winding the volume back gives some nice mellowed tones.

Sharing equipment? This is how some use their amps
la bam replied to mcnach's topic in General Discussion
Yeh, pirates rooms have some clowns messing everything up. We used to use the pre production room and literally nothing was ever right. Nothing was connected to what it was supposed to be, nothing worked apart from the odd pa top, and worse it gave some of us bad hearing issues. We now use the smaller room and it's better. Weirdly our drummer has to set up their drum kit every time (pro drummer) takes him about an hour to get everything right with the kit that's left in the room in a right state. Then magically 7 days later someone has come in and put it back to next to useless again! -
Why doesnt anyone make a small tube combo or head for bass?
la bam replied to lidl e's topic in Amps and Cabs
Fender have released a 50w Adam clayton combo. Tube pre and tube power. -
In a way ...... this one is £2000 !
-
Just popped up on my fb feed. 50w valve pre and valve power. Combo. Decent adjustable frequency eq. Looks good. A bit pricey though.....

Youd be amazed at how linked the legs are to back issues. Any stretching I do really helps.
-
I had/have 2 prolapse discs and a damaged joint. By far and away the best exercises I found for relief and prevention are not back exercises at all.... if it helps this is what I did. Try slowly touching your toes when you can - stretch those calves. Try lifting your knee upto your chest when lying on your back. Grab it with your arms. Once you can do that lie flat and lift both legs in the air straight, so it works your core. Regularly tense your stomach so your body uses its core strength, not your back strength. Just what worked for me, but feel free to try if you wish.

In a live mix I just use the pedal, cab sim on, bass about 11 o'clock, mids about 2 o'clock, freq around 10 o'clock, and treble about 11 o'clock. Using a precision it sounds nice and grindy, fits the mix lovely through the pa.

Just remember the I instructions above about turning it on when holding down the buttons, you need BOTH lights to be flashing to edit.

I'd also highly recommend the bass centre john entwistle bass. Really was a superb bass that. I dont know how or why but it was better built, felt better and sounded better than other bass centre basses I've had.

I'm now on the mld amp and svt 8x10. Gigged with it, sounded great. Big and heavy sound like an svt, complete contrast to the starfire and trace - which shows its versatility.

Sod’s Law… Dream bass is never going to appear!
la bam replied to bassatnight's topic in General Discussion
Take the financial loss and buy the one you want, then sell the one you dont. Take the financial hit, you'll not notice it as you'll be so happy with the new one. -
I'm not sure, doesnt he play the fender version, rather than the squire?
-
Got to admit theres some strange choices when it comes to signature basses. Youd think theyd have to be completely unique to warrant one - like the Bootsy star bass. Plus, I dont see it being a signature bass if the artist then doesnt play them, seems a bit of a swizz. But, for balance I had the fender flea jazz which was odd as it was a replica of a jazz flea owned, not really played, but it's the best bass I've ever owned. Then I suppose theres marcus miller putting his name and effort into Sire. I'd love to see a high end name, like a real big name, get a signature from a real cheap brand so their fans could own one, and then play it live in front of them, thatd be cool.

I just used to set the abm iv comp at around 9 o'clock and it worked really well.
-
I had the fusion s 800. It was a very light, very good sounding amp. It really cut through any mix. The controls were a bit daft and not that easy to suss out, but they're good amps. They just kinda work no matter what you do.

There will no doubt be a pedal to emulate feedback somewhere nowadays.
