    Rich, Seeing I live on the road coming off your road (Alderson Rd) how about you bringing the Terror round? I've got several cabs and basses you can try it out with. Phil

    I've got an SR506 (and a SR505) and what I'd like to add to the thread is that this is a great sixer to start on ...not that it isn't a great one to have regardless of experience, but that the slim neck and great balance just makes the transition easier. Good luck with the sale!

    I'm enjoying listening to their tunes on [url="http://www.myspace.com/elephant9theband"]http://www.myspace.com/elephant9theband[/url] Yes, the long list of influences is obvious, but I like it when a new generation discovers a previous generations' music and nails the vibe.

    Still waiting. The delay is down to the EMG pup ...maybe because it's white and also 5-string, so not too common!

    Cool! Thanks skankdelvar. It occurred to me this afternoon, that a modern way (and less of a fire hazard) would be to stick a projector on to a laptop that's playing music with the psychedelic patterns you get with various media players.

    I may have been there in the 60's but I don't remember them much (man). I do remember the projected rotating liquid gel light show though. Now I'm in a retro band, I thought it would be fun to have such a backdrop. Anyone know if modern day equivalents exist?

    [quote name='Dodge' post='785800' date='Mar 25 2010, 01:33 PM']Thanks - there can't be many Cornell bass heads around, care to share some pics?[/quote] Yes. When I said the Cornell valve bass head, I meant THE Cornell valve bass head. To my knowledge Denis made this to order, and is the only one.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='783498' date='Mar 23 2010, 02:40 PM']First impressions re: construction... it's a LOT more solid and well-made than I expected (don't know why I thought it wouldn't be). It's a quality bit of kit which feels reassuringly solid, but light.[/quote] But how does it respond to the Elk test? (as in[i] F'in el'k ...it's vibrated off a stack on the ruddy floor[/i])

    Nice! I'm enjoying the Cornell valve bass head at the mo.

    I forgot my camera, but here are some images taken on my Nokis.

    Car is now kerput. Just got a lift home by the AA. Looks like I'll be coming without gear now.

    They're expected in the UK in May.

    I just wanted to say a public THANKS to Keith [i]Yorks5stringer [/i]for taking over the running of this bash. Whilst I'll be there and giving Keith support, my work circumstances have recently changed, resulting in a conflict of interest and so causing me to relinquish my co-organising role. Looking forward to seeing many of you on Sunday! Phil

    [quote name='bh2' post='742643' date='Feb 11 2010, 11:18 PM']... I bought it new from Taphouses in Oxford in 1980, a super bass but it has to go for financial reasons.[/quote] Taphouses? That's a blast from the past. I worked in Oxford in 1974/75 and bought a japcrap bass from them, new. Are they still going?

    [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='771429' date='Mar 11 2010, 11:39 AM']Did you see a bright orange Jazz there? Not heard from him in a while.[/quote] No, I didn't I'm afraid, though I did see one on the Spector stand at NAMM (in case this is a "spot the Orange Jazz Bass" competition )

    [quote name='MrT-Bass' post='771057' date='Mar 10 2010, 11:01 PM']That look great Can't wait to see it finished!!! What's the neck construction. It looks like 3 pieces... I was thinking of having a 3 piece neck if I go for another custom. T[/quote] Yes, it's a three-piece maple neck with black veneer. Rock solid!

    You're not the [i]Heartbreaker [/i]that I remember from Wokingham/Bracknell from the 70s are you? I got to know a lot of Free's repertoire from them!
  19. Born 2B Mild
    Oh, and Jon is hoping to present it to me at the Yorkshire Bash Bash, so that's yet [i]another [/i]reason to come along to it!!!
  20. Born 2B Mild
    Yay, I got to see it today, and here's some of my snaps! I asked Jon what sort of white it is, and the answer he gave was "just white". The top image of these three shows the white as it looks like in reality ...very bright white and very shiney. NB: There's still a protective layer of film on the scratchplate.

    I shall be paying the Master a visit next week. At last, I'll (hopefully) be able to have more photo's of its progress on this thread!!!

    Don't go to Basschat ...let it come to you - via the Daily Digest. Subscribe to that and you get an email every morning with a smorgasbord of topics/replies that's enough to give you a fix but without getting you engaged.

    [i]That lot was nicked out of my Cortina when I took the Mrs for a chicken-in-the-basket for her birthday. [/i]

    I know nothing about [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180466886072&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]these[/url], but I couldn't help think that it seems a lot of bass for not much (it was on a bid of £106 at the time of posting this, with five days to go).

    Where in the world are you and your compact, please?
