  1. Do you guys at BD have any idea what happened there?
  2. And now, a true collectors' bass. GLWTS
  3. I reckon it's a dead-ringer for Davros.
  4. No need to 'shuffle', you could have borrowed a car and driven away.
  5. Good luck. It seems a story with a happy ending, albeit a lot of hassle for you.
  6. Must agree with @Stub Mandrel above. A deaf person running for a bus would be hard-pushed to tell the difference. If I need an oscilloscope to pick between them, the punters down the Maggot and Corpse won't notice either.
  7. Prefer side A personally. There's a face in there if you look for it. Beautiful piece of wood, whichever you choose. Best of luck with the build.
  8. Ahhhhhh! All things must pass. Another piece of the jig-saw of my life gets lost under the carpet.
  9. Loved my Eden rigs. I hope these are as good as the WTs, but I'm not holding my breath.
  10. As above and I'm sure @Stub Mandrel would agree. GLWTS
  11. Here we go with 'pre-Fender' G&L for sale' adverts, I suppose.
  12. I have three USA G&L basses. Love them and they ain't going nowhere. Real shame if they get swamped by the Big F.
  13. Thank God says me
  14. She's ower the border an' awa, wi' Jock o' Hazeldean. 😎
  15. You might want to mention scale-length? Just sayin'. GLWTS
  16. A tricky question. Your idea of what constitutes a 'woody' sound might be totally different to that of someone else. Might be an idea to drop a link in here to give folks an idea of the type of sound you're thinking of? A lot of the 'sound' of an electric bass comes from pickup type and where they are positioned on the instrument. Woods used in the construction can play a significant part in what the bass sounds like with or without amplification. String choice is another strong contender for tone alteration, not to mention whether you play using finger-style or plectrum/pick, or whatever. Even where you choose to pluck/strike the sting can make a huge difference to the sound produced. You asked about specific frequencies to bring out the 'woody' tone in your post. Assuming that you're using an amplifier and speaker set-up, I'd suggest that a 15"or even an 18" speaker might help you get nearer to what I have in my head for 'woody' tone - I have to revisit what I wrote above and underline, that your idea of the sound might be different from mine (or anyone else's). Further to amp settings, I imagine that lots of treble won't be what you're chasing and too much bass boost could lead to a muffled rumbling. Because of this, I'd recommend that you use an amp, if yours doesn't have this, where you can boost/cut low-mids a little. If you can get together with another BC member in your area, they might have an amp or two you could play through, to see if they can help you nail that sound. You don't say how long you have been playing, so forgive me if comments above seem basic. Maybe you're a veteran of the low-end with a PhD in Acoustics? No doubt, some here will agree with my comments and others will not. The only way to find the sound you're chasing in your head, is to try a variety of amps, speakers, equalisers, etc. Look on it all as an adventure and enjoy the journey. Very best wishes in your quest.
  17. Welcome sir. In the Border country perchance?
  18. Noooooooooooooo!
  19. Bump for my favourite combo I ever owned.
  20. One of my all-time favourite pedals. 👍
  21. Do you know if her growler was supercharged?
