Great tune, does anyone have a definitive way on how to pronounce her name, I always seem to run out of vowels?

[quote name='thebeat' post='676998' date='Dec 7 2009, 06:52 PM']It's actually a teen 'spy type' comedy effort, but yes it is rather disconcerting that this thread has been taken over by Chuck fanboys [/quote]I wondered if someone would bite....!

I love the way the thread has been highjacked so we get a little bit of bass strings then some teen horror serial info at random!

The module is absolutely identical and they have not asked for it back, ( nor did they enclose any fitting instructions!). You are correct in that replacing the piezo wires would have meant slackening strings and removing the bridge and possibly some more soldering too ( the wires had the plugs on one end that fit into the module but the other end were unfinished), so given I had a gig Sat night and it arrived around 2.00 pm I applied some pragmatism to the replacement and left well alone!

[u]How to replace the electronics module on Stagg EDB[/u] 1. Remove screws from module and end pin compartment, and put them somewhere safe! 2. Remove any shielding tape from the end pin compartment ( I have a feeling mine is not standard and was added by the last user but could be wrong?) 3 You should now be able to see the wires and how they sit in channels. Remember or sketch/photograph their position. 4. Unscrew the 2 screws from the jack socket, again put these somewhere safe. You will have been sent a new module (which is identical) minus knobs ( these just pull off the old ones) and new wires to the piezos. I did not change the piezo wires, I can't see why these would be an issue? 5. Unsolder the 3 wires from the jack socket, making a note of which wire goes where. 6. Unsolder the red and black power wires next to the jack wire socket on the module( making a note of which way round they go). 7. Unplug the piezo wires, again note their position,the module is now free of any connections and can be put to one side ( for a project...?) 8. Solder the red and black power wires back onto the new module 9. Feed the grey cable into the jack socket space and re- solder all the connections from the new module onto the jack, red, white and ground. 10. Plug in the piezo wires to the new module. 11. At this point find screws and screw in 1 to the jack socket and 1 into the module plate and test everything works! 12. Remove screws and feed all cables into channels, I then relined my cavities with adhesive foil making sure some will touch the control cavity cover which is lined as well. I kept the foil away from the end pin path so it does not touch it and possibly cause intereference? 13. Replace all screws, care with the one over the end pin as it only short and on mine hardly grips. 14. Enjoy your new quieter and greener Bass!

I had a subscription to the Angling Times (a weekly) until recently, it would almost always arrive days, even a week late, sometimes not at all. I cancelled it. It was sh*t. I've not seen complaints about BGM arriving late until now, give them a chance eh?[/quote] Yes, but Anglers have lots of time on their hands, it sort of goes with the territory...........................?

[quote name='bethnalgreen' post='673160' date='Dec 3 2009, 01:35 PM']My subscriber copy still hasn't arrived. I phoned them again (third time). They say they're posting another copy to me today. Suggest that anyone else still waiting calls them as well - 01884 266 100 .[/quote] My sub. copy only arrived today....

All that slapping reminds me of Bassday 2009.......

Have done!

Thanks, in a shameless bump ,if anyone knows anyone......?

A pub in Bradford I know and have played at needs a band for New Years Eve, just your standard Free/Killers or chart type covers fare. They have a proper stage and will provide free food and drinks too. It's not a load of money but it's OK if you'd rather be out playing than watching the Shootenanny..... Please contact me ASAP if you are interested as I need to get it sorted by Sunday evening if possible!

I have the LMII and the 2X10 Traveller and they are very light weight. I've just tried a Barefaced 15" cab which is even lighter but the sound was obviously different to what I'm used to, as it is less punchy- don't know if they do a 2X10?

There are numerous threads on here about them but you don't have to go to the States, there's this guy in Belgium who had the whole range at one time but now only seems to have Jazzes [url="http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/dn-store_Other_W0QQ_fsubZ1QQ_sidZ860476208?_nkw=SX+Bass&submit=Search"]http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/dn-store_Oth...p;submit=Search[/url] I'm sure there was someone else importing them too, possibly the Belgian ones, adding an extra switch and then charging £200 ? 'Jim Deacon' is the brand they are brought into this country under, but the distributor told me they were not allowed to retail them on ebay in the UK

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='664513' date='Nov 24 2009, 11:16 PM']In all seriousness, you were just 3 numbers out. I was at the bar with Nigel Clutterbuck and each ticket being drawn was getting closer and closer to your number (my number was miles out). Then for the bass, I think yours ended something like 115 and 112 came out. It got a big "oooooooooh" from us bar-proppers. Did you get back to the station OK?[/quote] Just joking.........! Yes, but got on the wrong train ( there are two routes across T'Pennines) so thought I may have to buy another ticket but the very nice young lady could see I was so shell-shocked from all the slapping and kindly let me off!

"Also met up with the usual couple.....Stuart (bassbunny) & Keith( yorks5stringer). Keith left me his wristband in case he won anything in the raffle. He missed out on the bass they were giving away by just 3 numbers!!" Hey Pete, that's funny, you told me the same story ( except I was 1 number off) last year!!!! Anyway, enjoy the new Bass (again)!

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='662774' date='Nov 23 2009, 03:33 PM']When some guy in the audience asked Nathan East to do some slap I was close to using some rusty control and restraint techniques to evict him from the theatre [/quote] That was me and I was being ironic.......! Actually not guilty but a few observations: 1. Really enjoyed the concerts, would'nt the world be a lovely place if everyone was as nice and self effacing as Stevie, Poogie and Nathan? 2. Enjoyed all the trade stalls but trying out a bass except for feel was impossible with all the slap tickle and popping going on 3. Randy Hope Taylor had been billed to appear for months, so why did he admit to almost just busking it? 4. Am I alone ( and I love Carlton, YellowJackets et al US Jazz) in thinking some of the concerts because of the similar lineups all sounded a bit samey? Could the next years Bassday try to move a bit away from this genre? 5. When we've held Bass Bashes, the prize draw has never been held last thing as some people have to travel long distances. Let's face it yesterday, anyone who left before Nathan was in a minority anyway...! So why not bring the prize draw forward a bit?

or one like mine....

[quote name='butterfingersbeck' post='657702' date='Nov 18 2009, 12:21 AM']Is this related to the hiss, the hum or the battery life?[/quote] I get little hiss even on phones, some hum which I dial out on my amp, but the bane of my sad existance is poor battery life. I suspect the replacement module may be identical to what it replaces but if its different I'll try to take a photo.

After some communication with Phil, it does not look like a plan, Stan! As you were......

Update on the Stagg electronics saga: they're understandably not keen on EDB's being shipped back and forward around the country so have told me they will send out new electronics modules for owners to fit themselves. I guess if you are not keen/competant, then the shop you purchased it from ( who you need to approach in the first instance anyway) should be able to do the swap for you. I'm now waiting for my module to come through and will fit it myself.

As it's in the area could I try it after you Tony please and I'll take it across to Phil before the 29th, as I have a gig on the 27th and could try it out?

"Wants to go funky" You don't think he's just going to give up washing?

Best gig of my life, original Steely Dan at Leeds Uni 1973 or was it 74? Huge entourage on stage including David Palmer on vocals, Mike McDonald on keys and vocals and the twin guitars of Denny Diaz and Jeff Baxter..............

Roqsolid are actually made in Batley and when I got mine there were always deals to be had: I paid a extra £1 and got a 10% discount on £45! Mine were the first MarkBass Travellers he'd made so I sent in the dimensions and they were made from those plans.
