My fave bass line is on ‘The Fox’ Really tasty
-
Go to a bicycle shop and get a couple. If you have one nearby.
-
I’m the opposite - amazing bass and Harley Benton talent
-
It’s evolved along the way. The FC archives the original aim and the other is just another option for fun
-
That’s a hum cancelling coil and normally it sits flush with the surface
-
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.

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

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
-
Lovely - a nice matching pair! Ever been tempted to convert one to fretless?
-
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
-
It’s actually hidden until you make a first post, to avoid spam - that’s why you can see it now! Cheers

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.

Anyone got some pics of the five string Serek? @Sibob

Better grab this one whilst you can - good ones don’t hang about!- 18 replies

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!

Yeah the original 2x8 and 1x10 have a little cradle for the head - the combo appears to be basically the same but the head is attached (don't think it's removable - if it is, then they've basically released a 1x8?)
-
Bit weird how they think anyone would need an Elf combo, it’s not like the amp doesn’t fit in your pocket anyway - a combo just makes it less portable surely?!
-
That would work for me!
-
I just mean that I’d have the FI on my desk and turn it in and off with my hand rather than stepping on it so rather than footswitches I’d prefer a button I can press, although some footswitches buttons are ok to press by hand. Probably a faff to change though
-
For my use I’d prefer no footswitches, instead some finger friendly buttons would be better. Not that I expect you to make one specially or anything!

Thanks Bass Direct!! MAJOR NBD (Sadowsky content)

Great! Sounds like a nice day out. Didn’t you buy a Smith recently, too? -
Diagonally, very carefully

I think in the future the 'inTput' models will be worth mega bucks

“Congrats you have won a prize” pop up?

I reckon google have allowed a dodgy ad through. We use Adsense for some ads and it’s controlled by them. -
It suits the shape of your bass better too- the Stingray looks weird because the horns are really dark. Plus it looks gross.
