Bernie Goodfellow can play some too, but that EBS freak is a right show off I am now slightly better than my 16 month old daughter after much practice.

Pretender by the Foos.

[quote name='Ajoten' post='428807' date='Mar 8 2009, 07:44 PM']I played a Jazz with the S1 switch last week, and with the switch engaged it sounded sweet. Really really nice. Obviously because it's A Good Thing, Mr Fender has ditched the idea - so is it possible to get a similar sound out of one of the huge range of current Jazz range? Passive P with a J neck would be ideal of course, but I've not made my mind up about the look/quality of either Aerodyne yet.[/quote] [url="http://www.guitar-mod.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RG&Product_Code=WKJB116&Category_Code=BSK2"]http://www.guitar-mod.com/Merchant2/mercha...egory_Code=BSK2[/url] ?

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='428151' date='Mar 7 2009, 06:41 PM']At long last the call has finally happened! Bernie called on Friday and was playing my bass and told me that it is ready to go! Even made me listen to it for a few seconds - now that it torture! Hoping to go up one day in the week to get her - can't wait. Will post some pics as soon as I have her home.[/quote] Let us know & we'll all turn up to see her off.

[quote name='William James Easton' post='426641' date='Mar 5 2009, 08:25 PM']ecky thump everytime i post it ends in barefaced GAS! 175w @ 8ohms whats that going to do for me?[/quote] A headache. The ohms aren't so important with such a high sensitivity cab. Probably. I'm nearly halfway to me Big One. Woo-hoo.

Try [url="http://barefacedbass.com/thecompact.html"]this.[/url] It'll do both. And fits in the boot.

From the Spector bass owners manual.... [quote]Truss rods can be tightened. Most things in life that can be tightened, can be tightened too far! When that happens there is usually an accompanying sound and ensuing pain in the stomach. When in doubt, seek professional advice. An ounce of prevention and all that.[/quote] From what you say, it sounds like you might need a shim at the neck end of the neck pocket. Try a search for shim on here - someone has linked to some very handy diagrams but I can't find them right now... EDIT: Yer tiz.

Welcome properly!

The Barefacedbass Big One. [quote name='paddy mcbride' post='423149' date='Mar 2 2009, 01:10 PM']...the cabs didn't look like they would handle the 1100 watts (apparently) that the svt6 put out... I have started to think about changing my 8x10 to a 4x10 and 1x15 setup for flexibility and ease of transport. Can anyone suggest cabs that would suit running with this head?[/quote] My LH puts 750w into 8ohms / 1100w into 4 ohms and I guess around 900 into the 6 ohms of the Big One. I couldn't get it above 6/10 without soiling myself and breaking the fixtures and fittings of a reasonably sized arts centre. Gig volume was one and a bit. And it's a one-hand lift even for a back-crip like me, lighter than the LH. Alex might chuck one of his tilt pads in too! It will piss your guitarists off more than an 8x10 for the power it kicks out, cos it's so small.

So good you posted twice.

Too busy building the 13 outstanding basses!

Or the cheap & cheerful ER20's...

[quote name='silddx' post='421829' date='Feb 28 2009, 06:07 PM']Some geezer at one of our gigs a while ago said any bassist playing with a pick is not worthy of the name and shouldn't be let near a stage.[/quote] [quote name='WalMan' post='422215' date='Mar 1 2009, 09:11 AM'].....and he is a tosser.[/quote] I must admit I was trying to refrain from my usual tirade of ****'s in response to the original geezer's comment.

[quote name='Protium' post='421426' date='Feb 27 2009, 11:46 PM']You could have had 200 extra watts and £50 change buying the ABM210 combo [/quote] And spend that £50 with your friendly local osteopath

One of me mates has a 4-string in black poly that was owned [and had a bunch of the poly removed] by some goth band in the 80's. It looks f***ing dreadful at the mo and the edges of the ripped off poly catch yer arm when playing, so he uses his fretless all the time as he's too tight to pay for a strip & refinish. I'll post him a link to this thread...
