I used to own a Rumblekat but didn't play it much and only put it through my gig rig on the day I sold it, which is when I realised I'd made a big mistake. I almost bought another earlier this week but someone snapped it up before I pulled the trigger and now can't find anywhere that has one in stock. Lovely bass to play because of the short scale, though if you've got shovel hands I suppose it might be a little cramped until you get used to it. Tone is just a huge. thumping delight. Very punchy when using a pick and sweet when using fingers.

Bass Strings for Fender Jazz 5 string - Problems with Floppy B
P-T-P replied to spiderjazz's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1328187612' post='1523231'] If you want to stiffen it up a bit, either use a less flexible string (as AceBassMusic suggests with hex cores - never tried them myself), or a heavier gauge so you can get more tension on it. The pitch of the string depends on it's length, mass and tension. The length between nut and bridge is fixed, it still needs to be tuned to 'B', so the only other variable is mass i.e. the thickness of the string. A heavier gauge string needs more tension on it to get to the same pitch - which should help with your problem with floppiness (snigger). Any other gubbins you stick on your bass (like a different bridge, string trees, spacers, etc.) are not going to make any difference unless they [s]shorten[/s] lengthen the scale of your bass - and then your frets would be in the wrong place. Edit: Longer string = more tension for same pitch - oops! [/quote] +1 to this You can't change the length of the string as the goal is the same note, but with increased tension. You can't simply increase the tension because that would change the note so the only thing you can really do is use a heavier gauge string in order to incerease the mass. I've had a Fender Mex 5 in the past and the B always sounded completely different to the other four strings. I found that a .135 gauge string felt okay physically though. -

Trace Elliot 2x10 and 1x15 selling for a friend

+1 for Thomann from me. Had a fairly well gigged TC vocal monitor go south about 18 months after purchase and they replaced without question. Also bought a TRB1006 and they sent the wrong finish by mistake but were happy to send replacement then collect incorrect one (so I wouldn't be without bass). Shame the Euro v Pound ain't what is used to be but for customer service Thomann are ace.

Rate 'em! 1x12s: Aguilar vs Purple Chili vs Mesa Walkabout
P-T-P replied to 1970's topic in Amps and Cabs
+1 to the "two cabs are better than one" argument. Don't get me wrong, one on it's own is great, but two DB112 together is filthy. Really wish they could have put two handles on them and/or could shave a few kilos off the weight though, they would be pretty much perfect after that. -
Rate 'em! 1x12s: Aguilar vs Purple Chili vs Mesa Walkabout
P-T-P replied to 1970's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've had a pair of both DB112s and Purple Chili 1x12s and tonally and build quality, the Aguilar won hands down. The PC were a little easier to carry because the Aguilar only have a strap type handle and were about 5kg heaveier than the stat sheet on the web site would have you believe. It's only because of the weight that I let them go but seriously considering going back to them, even though I love the portability of my MarkBass combo. -

Just to clarify on trades... I'm not looking simply to trade this bass for a different bass. I really like this bass and am quite happy to keep it. Examples of the kind of trades where I would include this bass... Your DJ5 for my jazz plus AKG mic and Trace compressor Your Allen Woody Rumblekat and Markbass NY 121 for my jazz and AKG mic. Rough idea of kinda things I'm looking for in general... [list] [*]Basses - Fender/Lakland/etc Js and Ps, Warwicks, Epiphone Allen Woody, MMan, fretlesses, 6 strings [*]Amps/Cabs - MarkBass NY121 cab would be great. Could be tempted into some Aguilar DB112 or Ashdown LB112. Any others? Maybe. [*]Stage/Disco Lighting - colour changers, par cans etc. [*]Wharfedale Titan 12 PA cabs or similar decent but lightweight passive cabs [*]Audio interface - just need jack and mic in and stereo out [*]In-ear monitor system - I have the phones, just need the system really [/list] Again though, not looking to just trade/sell this bass on its own so we may need to be creative!

I made a wanted post the other suggesting a possible trade of some gear I have and in it I mentioned the possibility of including this bass. I've had a few people ask about the bass and while I'm not specifically looking to sell or trade it, if something really tempting came along and the deal involved this bass alongside some of the other gear I have for sale (see signature)... Anyway, it's a Fender CIJ '62 Re-Issue Jazz finished in Shell Pink and I spent a long time waiting to find one of these. For sheer playability, it's probably the best 4 string jazz I've had (and I've had a few, including custom shop jobs). The action is ridiculously low - though I have a light touch so for some it will need a set-up - and the neck is lightning quick. As you'll see from the pics, it has seen some action and is definitely well worn in. I was never one for the trend of "road-worn" and always tend to want basses that are in good cosmetic shape but these are real scars and there's something quite endearing about it which has won me over. Pics...

Not 100% sure what I'd be interested in so open to ideas, even if they're a bit out there. Worst that can happen is we don't have a deal, no harm done. Additional trade info added a couple of posts down.
