[quote name='pal1972' post='566151' date='Aug 11 2009, 07:24 PM']can this be fitted to a conventional jazz bass control plate? any pics?[/quote] Not as it is. You would have to unsolder the pots and attach tails so that they could be mounted on the plate - the sacing on a Jazz plate is less than 40mm typically. There are far more elegant off the peg solutions for a Jazz out there. But that's a whole new thread -
[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='566186' date='Aug 11 2009, 07:56 PM']Ok... thanks.. Er; what sequencer would that be then, exactly???[/quote] Garageband, Cubase, Audacity etc whatever... -
I have a Spector USA preamp for sale - this is out of an NS5. This has cut and boost on the bass and treble and a volume and blend (it's not a Tone Pump, it's a Haz-Lab). It's effectively a three knob system (two singles and a stack). If fitted to a four knob instrument it would mean having one redundant knob. The pots for this are integral to the board and have Spector spacing centre to centre (48mm). The pots can actually be removed from teh board and you can put tails on if you're up for some soldering. Photos later today. [b]£60[/b] Posted. And out of interest, [url="http://www.steinbergerworld.com/hazlabs.htm"]here's a little blurb about Haz Labs[/url]

It's dead simple. Just bung a USB in the back and connect to a PC/MAC and it'll be recognised as a soundcard effectively when you fire up your sequencer. Well, that's was how it was for me.

It's a fantastic unit - all the blurb is [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_preamps_tonehammer.htm"]here[/url] I'll ship with two new quality 9v batteries included [b]£120[/b] Delivered.

This is the new Spector Tone Pump with the adjustment trim pot. According to a few people a major improvement over the old Tone Pump. This one has never been installed, it's still in the packaging. I'm told they are £99 new. [b]£50[/b] Posted.

Details of the product can be found [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=7"]here[/url]. It's a truly fantastic product and if you ahve a search on this forum you'll see how highly regarded these are. These are very easy units to install and full instructions can be found [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php"]here[/url]. There are reviews of the preamp too. [b]£100 [/b]Posted.

They are worth next to nothing now but since I'm a nice bloke (check the feedback) I'll give you £50 quid for it.

I agree with what Pete said about the DJ5 with Aeros - fantastic. I've played his white one, albeit acoustically and it has a lovely feel to it and is very resonant; it was ages ago but I remember how nice it was. Dave, if you can't find a used one with Aero pups, I'd suggest going for a special order and getting Chi-Sonic pups put in, they are amazing pickups and are like the Aeros in many respects but have a little bit more oomph and a bit more breathiness to them. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28962&hl=lakland+darryl"]This link[/url] will take you to some pics of mine. I'm yet to try it with an onboard preamp but a DJ-Retro is on the cards. Not everyone can live with the looks of the Chi-Sonics but I love 'em. And, yes, the bridge pickup [i]is[/i] wider than the neck pickup I guess that's to accommodate a larger magnet so the levels are more balanced?

Excellent deal on an East U-retro. Super smooth transaction and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. Did the deal on Tuesday night, gear arrived Thursday morning.

Billy Sheehan with Mr Big at Shepherds Bush Empire!
Sean replied to cetera's topic in General Discussion
I've seen Mr Big twice and they are well worth catching. I saw them at Newcastle City Hall in 1989/90? and in Sheffield I think on the same tour. Unfortunately I'm away on holiday with friends that weekend otherwise I'd be there. SBE is a fantastic venue, I picked up a Mr Big leaflet when I was there last month seeing Chickenfoot. If my holiday is rescheuled I'll go. Maybe someone ought to arange a Basschatters' meet before the gig? -
Nice reply!
-
This is very much appreciated, Rob. Really good stuff and very useful for me at the moment. Keep up the good work. Thanks Sean

My band rehearse at 10am some Saturdays, it means me leavng home at 8.30, we're usually finished by 5pm, which is nice as it gives me the evening to do normal-people stuff if we're not gigging.

[quote name='William James Easton' post='489845' date='May 16 2009, 02:47 PM']poor Jeff needs a hug.[/quote] Couldn't agree more, what a thoroughly nice chap and brilliant bass player. And by the way, my mate Laura [i]has[/i] hugged him and she got a kiss from Stone Gossard at the same time. She must have worn them out as they weren't putting out for me

I've also had a go on this bass - it's fantastic. I'm a big fan of P/J basses and this one is something very special indeed.

Sex wee time! :wub:

[quote name='cetera' post='534613' date='Jul 7 2009, 12:58 PM']Stunning photos of a gorgeous bass! It looks right at home there on that blanket as well [/quote] I've just been told that it's a "throw" [i]not[/i] a blanket. "Mam, mam! The sleeve's come off the eiderdown!"

[quote name='redstriper' post='534065' date='Jul 6 2009, 07:10 PM']There's too much choice in everything these days. It leads to dissatisfaction and we spend too much time choosing and not enough living/playing. [/quote] Great video - I'm a big fan of Schwarz (he could almost be Roger Sadowsky's dad in many ways). You can always beat this dreadful choice issue he talks about and just get a Spector, then all you have to worry about is the redistribution of global wealth.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='533320' date='Jul 5 2009, 09:07 PM']Yeh, that's nice! Love the look of the inlays - what are they?![/quote] The inlays are [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abalone"]abalone[/url] and they kind of change with the light.

headstock as requested... Sorry it's dusty :blush: Full length one when the light is right.

[quote name='Josh' post='532612' date='Jul 4 2009, 08:12 PM']Nice one Sean. I don't know why but I find the gold and black control combo rather alluring.[/quote] I tried it the other way round, gold knobs, black rings but this way is best. All gold like on my Euro4 is all wrong on this one. I saw that the DJ-Retro 01 had mixed knobs so I just asked the question... I've met a few mixed knobs over the years too
