[quote name='eude' post='491985' date='May 18 2009, 10:55 PM']+ 1 Awesome cables, great price and a very very quick custom service Eude[/quote] +1. Monster speaker cables, thick as a thick thing. EDIT: On thick day in Thickton.

Do you always go on stage with 3 life size cardboard cut-outs? I wouldn't trust that gadgey on the right. [quote name='Machines' post='490669' date='May 17 2009, 05:12 PM'][/quote]

It's not called the music [i]business[/i] for nowt, indeed it was a lot easier in the late 80's / early 90's.

[quote name='RhysP' post='490976' date='May 17 2009, 11:00 PM']It's the other way with me - I started off liking narrow Jazz bass type necks & ended up prefering chunkier ones.[/quote] Yep. 41-odd mm nut width [Spector 41.8mm, 'Ray 41.3mm, 70's & on P 41.2mm] all the way now. 38mm [Jazz] became too small and always found 44mm [vintage P] too big. All sizes approximate.

[quote name='carlitos71' post='491215' date='May 18 2009, 11:17 AM']So anybody with Wizard or Bare Knuckle pickups got anything to say?[/quote] Yep. Had some Wizard 84's in me old Ged Jazz - lovely kit. Email or phone Andy at Wizard, tell him what you want and he'll tell you what he can do, you don't necessarily have to stick with stock.

[quote name='Hamster' post='487436' date='May 13 2009, 11:22 PM']Whose got it now, and when did you get it?! [/quote] And would you like this first?

I've 'done' a few drummists over the years, I still talk to all of them and they often come to our gigs. Honesty is the best policy, playing a sh*t gig with them is also another option. I was once sacked from a hair metal band because I wouldn't buy one of these in white. Wish I had now.

[quote name='Merton' post='489589' date='May 16 2009, 10:03 AM']Well, I have the same amp and I hoping to have the same cab very soon. Not copying you, honest! This rig is immense yet compact, love it [/quote] And I will soon have the idiots version of this rig. Good choice men.

[quote name='The Funk' post='488899' date='May 15 2009, 02:05 PM']I was going to suggest a Conklin 13-string.[/quote] But mind out for the F-14's trying to land on it.

[quote name='JackLondon' post='488743' date='May 15 2009, 12:07 PM'][b]I haven't tried the Big One so I can't tell how loud it will go[/b] but as far as I remember one of the owners said something along those lines ''You would have to be f*&king crazy to have 2 of them''[/quote] I have. Very f***ing loud indeed mate. I have one on order. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46780"]Comments[/url].

I can't remember who's really old P I was fortunate enough to have a quick noodle on at the SEBB last year [and my sincere apologies for that] but it was great and I'd have that over the VMP I briefly had any day, ditto the CIJ 50th anniversary P me mate has. The others were good, but there was something about the old one that was just, I don't know, much much better. I felt bloody scared holding it though. I'll have a pair of 1970 Fenders one day, it's me birth year see. Tomorrow mebbe, when the lotto comes in. EDIT: It was Sixshooters, so that makes it a '59. Carry on.

[quote name='OldGit' post='488545' date='May 15 2009, 09:38 AM']What's the TV logo?[/quote] The biggun. Big on the telly, see. [attachment=25260:55U_3713...ck_front.jpeg]

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='488512' date='May 15 2009, 09:09 AM']It's gonna end in tears.[/quote] Yep, mine. From laughing. No-one on here is it?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='488467' date='May 15 2009, 08:14 AM']With a rig and bases like that, plus your other half looking like she does, you should be banned from this site immediately! [/quote] Aye, but we can glean valuable succor from the fact Sean must get chips caught in them bones he has through his lip and the milk must dribble out during breakfast

Result, happy days!

[quote name='alexclaber' post='487648' date='May 14 2009, 10:30 AM']Alternatively some FX pedals can drive power amps to full power, which could work out much cheaper. Alex[/quote] EBS MicroBass II, SansAmp, etc? Maybe the MXR & Hartke VXL too, but I can't comment on those. Try the for sale forums [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=20"]here[/url] & [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=69"]here[/url].

Pickup height? Tried raising the D/G pup up?

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='486737' date='May 13 2009, 11:00 AM']Just imagine Fern Britton's endorsement, delivered straight to camera: "I've never come across another 1x15 cab that has pummelling low end, driving mids and just enough highs to cut through, yet weighs less than a 3-year-old girl. And it's so loud that Phil's ruptured something. This is a must-have for every gigging bassist."[/quote] "I can even lift it without bursting me stitches". My mate used to empty her bins when she lived down Pompey, you know. It was kosher - he was a bin man.

[quote name='Dave' post='486647' date='May 13 2009, 09:32 AM']Funny you should mention this, as I bought a 3530 a little while back in an attempt to recreate Rob's bass tone. I spoke to him at a NoMeansNo gig once...[/quote] Me too, nice guy, nice bunch in fact. Bonkers, the bloody lot of 'em - met 'em at a Hansons gig recently. Sorry, OT.

GB. But I can't affford that, so Spector.

Rob Wright from Nomeansno / Hanson Brothers uses a 300 watt Marshall 3530 S/S head with a tube pre into a Marshall 4x12 guitar cab. He has a brutal sound. Then there's Lemmy...

Just sold Tony a Bottom Feeder. Easy peasy, nice one Cyril.
