    Break a leg mate! My first DB gig was fab, the sense of achievement was amazing. Hope you really enjoy yourself

    OK, its completely different. But it is black

    Doh! Thats why I was rubbish at slapping. No hat Jack, on the other hand, has a hat ...

    Oops, your eyesight is better than mine! Maybe the most recent owner decided a bit of modification was needed Alternatively its a different bass

    Now this looks remarkably like the one formerly owned by Silverfoxnik, Happy Jack and I http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=2202&type=Bass%20Guitar

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1331657144' post='1576711'] I like the one with the Dubouchet duet with the red faced chap playing the banjo. Can't find it now but hope someone will post it. Mrs Crap DB Player said she thought he was possibly the scariest looking musician she's ever seen (the banjo player that is), and she's lived with me a fair few years so has met a few! [/quote] Hey! I had my hair cut for that video clip

    The Cordes Lambert guy, Nicolas Dubouchet, is awesome and the most musical slapper to my ears Here he is in laid back mode [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bE4jxKZdgE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bE4jxKZdgE[/url] Gypsy jazzing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQTISGj6Qzk&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQTISGj6Qzk&feature=related[/url]

    Incidentally Jack, your action (higher than my ultra-low) and strings (Silver Slaps) are good for slapping, so its just down to technique. I have the same DVD mentioned in Geddys nose's post above which you are most welcome to borrow

    Swine, what harm did your bass ever do to you? But more seriously I had an excellent lesson with BC's PaulKing last week immediately after picking up that DB bow from you. He's in Acton, very nice, can be plied with red wine (Chianti works), and awfully good at slapping. I left just about able to slap Johnny Cash-stylee (eg, Folsom Prison Blues). I could show you but I am still too rubbish. Paul is yer man

    If it helps, the standard CIJ Precision 62 has a 42mm nut width, ie, a 'proper' P width nut [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=2"]http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=2[/url]

    Lovely work there Howard. I'm guessing this will sell faster than a faster thing

    How much for the combo, minus ext cab? Also, in your experience, is the combo loud enough on its own for a DB in rehearsals (assume that the band is mainly acoustic with a drummer)? I am looking for an ultra-compact, convenient DB-friendly combo for rehearsals. Cheers

    Woodo (also known as Arttu from Stockholm, Sweden) recently bought my Acme 2x10 cab. Great communications, swift payment and Arttu also arranged pick-up of the cab. Couldn't have been easier or more pleasant. Recommended addition to the ranks of decent BC'ers to do business with

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1331412303' post='1572663'] Well, according to the ad, it sold for £3495. [/quote] Blimey, the buyer could have picked up as nice a Wal from the BassChat FS forum for a grand less

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1331331372' post='1571671'] This song is ruined by the worst lead guitar I've heard on any song ever. It makes my toes curl... [/quote] Its cheesy but gotta disagree, its part of the song's charm IMHO

    Great to hear you are up and gigging John after that ocular nastiness

    If by any chance you don't get replies and want a cheap and cheerful solutiuon, the J-tone pickups on ebay will do a job. This is a cheap copy of a BassMax for just £25 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-tone-Big-double-Bass-Pick-up-/200613316399?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item2eb57c472f"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-tone-Big-double-Bass-Pick-up-/200613316399?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item2eb57c472f[/url]

    If you put up an items wanted post for a piezo in the DB section (BassMax seems the most popular although Shadow 950 and Underwoods are very good too) I reckon you should come up trumps. You can get guide prices from the DB for sale forum, looking back at old sales, but I reckon you could pick up a BassMax for maybe £50-60. Most of the DBers on here are forever chopping and changing and seem to have at least several piezo's lying around

    Much less hassle will be swapping to a piezo pickup, as BassBod suggests. They slip in the wings of the bridge, can be bought cheaply (a good one like an Underwood, Shadow or BassMax will cost you £50+ used but there's acceptable ones on eBay for like £20), and you won't have to change strings (I hate swapping DB strings as I end up with cramped hands!). Ditch the Schaller! Or get a better mag ... but easiest is to get a piezo IMHO
