TPJ

John did a little custom job for me, stacked vol/tone on a tele control plate with the jack on the plate too. really lovely work, great price and very easy to deal with. I'm sure I'll be back Thanks again John.

I just bought a single coil p bass pickup from Kev. Great comms and speedy delivery. Very easy to deal with and you can ensure an easy transaction. Thanks again Kev.

Congrats on the DB. On one hand it's great that you got a good deal. On the other, it's sad to see schools selling off their musical instruments. What will the children of the future use....

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1371464874' post='2114082'] Sounds like an awful lot of trouble for one semitone. Does it really make that much difference to the guitar sound? Is it worth it if the bass sounds worse then it did in standard tuning? Might it not be easier in the long run if your vocalists just practiced hitting the higher notes more? [/quote] +1 Also, what about a drop D tuning thingy for just the E string?

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1371052421' post='2109189'] But.......the high pass filter is set at 150HZ, so depending on how steep the slope is it could take away too much low end. [/quote] Might depend on the room. When we played big rooms, we told the sound guy to dump from about 180 downwards as a starting point to avoid major feedback issues. There always seemed to be quite a bit of low end left.

I've tried this for front of house and it worked very well. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f4/poor-mans-mic-setup-sm-57-four-elastics-482357/"]Poor Man's Mic Setup[/url]

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1370288270' post='2098725'] What a fab gig. Great tunes and arrangements from the best! Too far away for me. [/quote] +1 When is the gig? Are there any rehearsals prior to the gig or just show up and play?

Another happy victim Enjoy your journey, DB is the bomb.

I just purchased Chris' Zoom B3. Very easy and quick transaction. He even took the trouble to print out some very helpful info and included it with the unit. Thanks again fella.

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1365695231' post='2043101'] How did your removable neck work out? - looks like an Italian Bass? [/quote] It was Hungarian and the sides and back delaminated from being in the cellar too long . To be fair it was in a right state when I got it. Carved top was split and the seams were starting to pop off everywhere, I just helped it along. I never got around to fixing it all before it fell to pieces.

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1365687218' post='2042911'] [/quote] I thought this looked familiar...that's the bass I took to pieces trying to create a removable neck DB. I recognise that green wall in the back ground! That was a right **** getting that neck off even with heat and warm water. The poor bass had a terminal scroll break so I thought I'd take it all apart. the table came off no probs but that neck was a bear.

Is the break a clean one? If so, you should be able to glue the whole thing back on, ensuring it's lined up correctly when you clamp it. Taking the FB off is more trouble that it's worth.

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1365288046' post='2037793'] whatever else you try nothing will work like the Pro plat 2 [/quote] Not necesarily true. I didn't have success with the PP2, but the Art Tube MP has always been a great tone, with several pickups. Yes the Pro Plat has more features but sometimes less is more. I've actually had a lot of success with an MXR80 of all things.
