[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1349992098' post='1833419'] Ped, you really need to get out more mate. It is a terrific achievement though. It's now't without the members though. [/quote] Lol well if I got out more, there wouldn't be Basschat!! Good point RE the members, we're very lucky to have such a great community.

Ah excellent!! There's a Vigier porn thread somewhere so you can add your pics.

Looking great chaps - have those pics ready for the new site, should be with us in a little while....

Yeah, I lolled but it's better than nothing!! I would say that probably less than 5% of the finished transactions via BC include a donation to the site. It's not why we do it, but it's nice when people take the trouble, even if it's pennies.

Hi guys Thanks for the donations again, and yes the modest profit from the shop goes to the site and every little helps. We've had donations ranging from 10p to £40, but we appreciate each one. Cheers

Great pics... it looks like it's brand new!

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1349972632' post='1832985'] There are 2.376 million bass players out there? [/quote] Or one bored man with lots of computers!

Ah of course, that'll teach me to look things up whilst I should be working. I'll see if Patrice Vigier can shed any light on the exact date, then. I've never had a metal laminate model, I bet they have a sound all of their own. Funnily enough I have seen an Arpege at CrackConverters before, though I think it was snapped up quickly. You struck gold, there - and what an excellent price. Enjoy it and remember, French = best! ped

Just been browsing our analytics and I have found that we've had just over 106,000,000 pageviews since May 2008. That's approximately 3 times the population of Oceana and about the same as the number of people in the USA who own a smartphone. I was quite impressed!! We've also had 2.376 million unique visitors to the site. Cheers for being one of them (sounds a bit cringeworthy, but thanks anyway) ped

Woah that's stunning. Where did you find it? It was made on March 15th, 1986. The serial # database is here http://78.41.237.59/sites/medias/pdf/12.pdf So what can you tell us about the neck on the bass, is it carbon or the earlier brass laminate type? I bet you'll be very happy with that - the second best bass I have ever played is Dr. Bass' blueburst Arpege! On the whole Vigier front I'm working with a kind BC member to have my 'up' and 'down' Vbass patch buttons installed neatly onto the front of my bass, watch this space! Yeah I think Arpege sounds cooler than Passion, I guess it also has a slightly more bass related meaning, too.

I live the colour of that bass... stunning

Here's mine, a Buscanti Newport: [url="http://blog.basschat.co.uk/buscanti-newport-jazz-bass/"]http://blog.basschat.co.uk/buscanti-newport-jazz-bass/[/url]

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1349268569' post='1824006'] You clearly haven't tried reading it yet [/quote] I'll save it for bedtime

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1349267056' post='1823971'] Should be fixed now... [/quote] Looks great!! Thanks for writing that!

We rebooted the server the other day and that seems to have solved the problem for now. Fingers crossed! Cheers

Lol. Ok I like that idea. Now how's about this. Sometimes I will switch through a few patches at once, so I wonder if it's possible to have a knob which I could rotate through clicks to go up and down through the patches? That would be ideal, and a bit quicker. Difficult to sort, or possible? I would probably pay someone to work this out for me, if anyone fancies volunteering!!

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1349097955' post='1821717'] [font="Arial"]From the 6 way connector on the amp board, (looking at the circuit lets call the top/black/No.1), you should have a black wire, (common) going to the centre tab of your bass select switch, you need to link that to the centre of the new up/down switch, then from the same 6 way connector, you need to wire No. 4 blue to the down side & No.5 yellow to the up. Either way on the new switch, then fix the switch to suit.[/font] [font="Arial"]HTH,[/font] [font="Arial"]John[/font] [/quote] Thanks, that should help. I'll have to check the internals as I can't remember what I did with the unused connecting wires. Maybe I'll put up a photo to clarify when she's opened up. It's a bit crowded in there with the 3 band eq too. Cheers

Excellent, that sounds like a winner - I'll have a play when they arrive. Now I just need to work out how to wire it up.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1349041690' post='1821121'] I just saw the above - I've got plenty of those too - I'll open the bag & stick a couple of them in too [/quote] Now that's what I call service!!! Thanks!

That's great, thanks.

Thanks, that's very kind - I'll PM you now!

Hi John Yes I think that's right, they simply move the patch on the pedal up or down. Those look great - being the picky sod that I am, I wonder if you have some that are plain black? Thanks for the reply and generous offer. Do these type of buttons have a particular name? ped
