There are so many fantastic basses you could get for that money. Btw did I ever tell you why I sold my Rickenbacker? I'll get me coat... But seriously, was it 'inspired' by a Burns?

Tyler bought my GigRig Loopy, paid promptly and kept up communication throughout.

[/quote] You did right! I've never liked Antigua, and although I don't go a bundle on exotic woods, that bass is jaw-dropping!

If the seller has been paid, and you have made every reasonable effort to get the buyer to collect it, I can't see the problem in now selling it on. I presume if the seller had not been paid, they would have asked for it back long ago!

[/quote] Because there is a mahoosive circuit board inside. The audio circuit is all discrete components (i.e. no ICs) and is based on the Urei 1176, which was a biggish rack-mount unit. (The ICs you can see are there to drive the LED ladder.) Having the knobs so big makes it much easier to set up accurately than, say, the MXR Bass Compressor.

Only one of my four basses has two pickups, and that one has a blend control, which works very well. I never got on with the 2 vols when I had a Jazz, and swapped one of the vols for a 3-way switch! Damon - is your bass active or passive, what blend pot did you use, and where did you get it from?

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1432312518' post='2780396'] The cabs in regular use, or the ICE mod? [/quote] The ICE mod!

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1432293065' post='2780069'] I never had a problem, as such, with the lifting, but then I was mad into rock climbing so I suppose I was pretty fit at the time. TWO of the Peaveys, with a Trace preamp into a Peavey CS1000 power amp.. loud and very clean 'cos of the headroom, but that was a proper carful of gear! Thinking of this has reminded me that I wired a couple of speaker sockets into the boot of the car - Escort then Fiesta so I had to have the back seats down - then I could plug the bog-standard cassette player through the pair of 410Ts.. some thought it a little extreme! :-D [/quote] Any good for metal!?

Best to change activity after about 20 minutes - take a break or move onto a different type of practice.

If I'm picky it didn't give me the woody top end that I get out of my BF Midget, but it was still far better than I expected for rehearsal room kit.

I am a flats convert, but this is very much a matter of personal preference, there is no right or wrong. The trouble is that most basses in shops have rounds fitted (even many fretless instruments!), so you have to guess what they will sound like with flats on.

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1431961880' post='2776633'] Brad Paisley's 'This Is Country Music' makes apt of mentioning a Fender Precision Bass. Normally his bass player uses a Crook bass though: [/quote] I like the occasional bit of sparkle but that is one clown whore of a bass!
