    Ramp??

    Doesn’t function like a ramp though, the whole thing with a ramp is the feel under the plucking fingers. It’s use as a thumbrest is secondary.
  4. How can you do one without doing the other lol
  5. I met Mr. Hellborg and all we talked about was paintball
  6. Yeah get the Tecamp Also worth mentioning having toneprint is great because if you load in the Spectracomp you’ll have a better compressor than most heads with it ‘built in’
  7. You realise when you post one of these threads that’s me gone for the evening listening to music for hours!!
  8. My fave bass line is on ‘The Fox’ Really tasty
  9. Go to a bicycle shop and get a couple. If you have one nearby.
  10. I’m the opposite - amazing bass and Harley Benton talent
  11. It’s evolved along the way. The FC archives the original aim and the other is just another option for fun

    Ramp??

    That’s a hum cancelling coil and normally it sits flush with the surface
  13. They only mute open strings, so people tend to use them for tapping. Foam at the other end is cool though and gives a nice muted sound that you may find useful.
  14. Not at all - it's just that we had one persistent spammer who registered an account and PMd everyone with a wanted ad offering the item they were after. After we closed about 10 of his accounts we decided to make it invisible to stop him. It worked!! Cheers
  15. Sorry yes you're right, the extra knob controls the level of boost/cut, whereas the Passion has a switch for cut or boost and the level is pre-set. Also the Arpege has a series/parallel switch
  16. Lovely - a nice matching pair! Ever been tempted to convert one to fretless?
  17. Indeed - however the Arpege semi-parametric extra control knob alters the frequency of the boost/cut knob. It was also available with a ROM preamp without the removable pre-amp cartridges you mention for the Passion bass. Instead it had a 12 position switch http://www.vigierguitars.net/bcatalog/bfcv4.htm I've never tried the ROM preamp
  18. It’s actually hidden until you make a first post, to avoid spam - that’s why you can see it now! Cheers

    Ramp??

    Some people prefer the feel of it. Otherwise if you play between the pickups there’s quite a gap below them to the body. Sometimes having a ramp can encourage more consistent and accurate playing. I’ve had them in basses before, but only in basses where the pickups don’t naturally act like a ramp anyway.
  20. Anyone got some pics of the five string Serek? @Sibob
  21. I’ve only ever seen a series 1 in green burst and it used to belong to Jason Newstead. Lovely bass. Mine is an 88 too!
