  1. That is just outrageously cool I'd be afraid to take it out and then spend all my time polishing scratches out!
  2. Nice bass though Have you another that looks sort of similar that you could hide in the wardrobe for a while so she doesn't notice? Of course, your wife could be perfectly au-fai with basses and spot it immediately. Mine wouldn't be able to tell them apart if I got a new one as long as it was blue
  3. Right, from comments on this thread and the SE one, if there was a Bass Bash around Northampton in 2013 would anyone turn up? I'm looking at schools in the area and taken a pointer from the SE thread and also looking at hotels/conference venues. Would you want it 6 months before/after the SE, which makes it the end of March, might get interesting with Easter, or set it at mid april so it doesn't hit half term or the May BH? Are there any other bashes that might clash? Absloutely nothing is set up or confirmed yet, just getting a feel for opinions, but if you want it I don't mind trying to set it up (probably because I'm stupid). Any help gratefully accepted should it look like this is a goer
  4. Hooray , but... Well, more pics than you've already shown us anyway
  5. Looks nice, and looks like it took an awful amount of effort to get it to that stage as well What's on the other end of the pair of forks to the left of your workmate? I'm guessing the other is some sort of Beemer?
  6. I read the second option as Disabled People against Cats... I either need more tea or an early night Three very worthy causes, can I split my vote and send £3.33 to each of them?
  7. Made in 1956 and kept in a cellar since... It's got 6 strings as well according to the eBay header.
  8. I don't suppose you know which hotel? I did start thinking about a Northampton bash, there's a thread on here somewhere. I'd just be worried that no-one would turn up and I'd sit there looking silly
  9. Haha! After a quick visit to my engineering supplier (my dad ) last night the PSU and the permanent pedals are now mounted on the top grey plate. Fortunately the pedals hide most of the holes made by previous cock-ups but underneath it looks like it's been shotgunned! I need to make some new side plates due to the old ones splitting, fit the timber to the 1U channels and then it can be called finished Pics when it is actually done. I'm going to make a flightcase for it as well, but I'm not going to diary that as there are enough of those out there already.
  10. Nissan and Honda both had some freaky colours, the Nissan Primera came in a weird purple/green that really depended upon the light to see what it was and the CBR400RR had a black/purple option which was rather good. Just putting them out there for interest really. I've no idea how well they would work on a bass though.
  11. I was thinking of a 15Sub in an only cab setup. Will it cope with a 500w head with the Eminence 3015? I'll be getting the kit if I do get one as I like making stuff Do you supply instructions, I've never done anything like this before so I'd like advice about filling the box with padding, wiring the speaker in etc etc
  12. '75 P Bass for me please, if wishes were pennies this thread would be a proper earner I'd actually just like a nice proper P Bass, but even though there are a few in the sale rooms I can't justify it, except as someone said earlier you only live once
  13. Having finally watched the program Kevin doesn't seem to bad at welding either... I'm glad that someone knows someone who knows him says that he's and alright bloke, so many bods who do interesting things who you'd like to have a chat with turn out to be arses
  14. Can you give any indication of how much a 1x15 in lightweight ply would weigh and can you do custom cuts? I'm wondering how well a handle in the top of the box rather than one in each side would work, do you think that the balance would be completely out or it would just be awkward to carry?
  15. Dave Mustaine is on the road, going to Silentbob
  16. Ta chaps. I wasn't sure it would work, and now I know it doesn't
  17. This is probably going to be a stupid question on an epic scale, but if I get a 1/4" to Speakon cable, can I drive a cab using the line out from my combo?
  18. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1349440617' post='1826349'] And no......I haven't plugged them all in together yet [/quote] Why not? Do it, do it, do it
  19. IKEA Gorm seems to the DIY pedal board of choice. For an alternative see my thread in the Build Guide (Shameless plug!! ) It's cheap, most of the parts came from a skip at work
  20. Thank you all for your replies, I'm going to look into the ACS ones, especially as they seem to be available on most high streets. What decibel reduction is a sensible number? I want to get some that will suit my needs as a player and also standing in front of Lemmy's PA
  21. IMHO, and this is only my opinion, my familes health and my health come before anything, so if you're being canned for having a baby (congrats ) or for family members having medical emergencies then your band mates need to be a little more human
  22. What earplugs do people use when you go and see a band? I was at DragonForce last night and wore normal disposable foam bungs, am I missing something from the sound by using these and should I look at filter types or the properly in ear moulded things? Incidentally, the band were just OK, which is a shame as I like their albums. There were both bass and keys on stage because I saw them, but only heard the keys on a couple of intros and poor old Frederic Leclerq could have stayed at home for all the input I heard from him. The mix was all bass drum and widdly guitar, which is kind of their thing, but I'd like to hear some power chords, even the vocals were patchy at times. Enough of slating the band, who on their day I'm sure are great, but last night wasn't it.
  23. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1349175465' post='1822691'] Ah but it's not JUST compression on the TC, you want to be confused? Google Multipressor [/quote] I wish I hadn't done that now, my brain hurts! Cheers for the link
