Good man! Cheers Lozz

Shoot me down but they sound like a pub band covering the Stones

Wicked, jack. I have one coming this week

Mike Lulls are under 8 pounds but cost nearer 2000 pounds! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_Lull_V4.html

.. and these have arrived! [attachment=137940:1044329_543230592390600_1500177226_n.jpg]

Its on iplayer now - what fun! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01c2hrr/Glastonbury_2013_Chic_feat._Nile_Rodgers_Glastonbury_2013/

Contact Alan Cringean of ACG Guitars - his preamps apparently can sound very Wal-like http://www.acguitars.co.uk/shop/

Keith helped me out with a swap of DB pickups (as mine didn't fit my bass), thanks again!

Its what i did when I had the Eko B3 gypsy style acoustic bass (oval soundhole meant no pickup would fit across). I had a problem with feedback at volume though which is why I moved it on. I fear the beast you are looking at might be similar unless you went for some kind of magnetic pickup which would of course make it sound more like a 'normal' bass

When I had an acoustic bass, these came highly recommended (and not made any more): Fishman rare earth acoustic bass pickups http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210996-fishmann-rare-earth-acoustic-bass-guitar-pickup/page__p__2123388#entry2123388

Maybe one of the K&K floating pickups? http://www.jp-guitars.co.uk/sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk_acoustic_guitar_pickups_archtop.htm

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1372338512' post='2124491'] Clarkys first post in particular is belittling people for talking about bass stuff on a bass forum which seems a bit daft & counterproductive to me. [/quote]My post was not meant to belittle - I take part in the very same threads I was referring to (I thought in a firmly tongue-in-cheek manner). I was merely wishing aloud that a faction of the energy that goes into those threads be directed to the recording forum. Anyway I've said my piece.

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1372332223' post='2124361'] I've just fitted a Full Circle and used one of Rogers custom clips. It was a doddle to fit and is really solid. Anyone looking for an improved tailpiece jack socket mount should check these out. Many thanks Roger [/quote] Spookily, I have one of Roger's clips anchoring the jack socket on my Full Circle too! Very cool little device and less fiddly than the Lando clamp (albeit thats pretty good too! I have one on my other bass)

Mike, with respect, I hardly think greyparrot was promoting Fender. I think they are capable of doing that for themselves

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1372318711' post='2124116'] I am genuinely interested in why greyparrot needed to make to post in the first place, and then why others were obliged to back him up.
