  1. [quote name='cheddatom' post='745635' date='Feb 15 2010, 10:50 AM']The links at the top to take you to the different levels of the forum keep jumping around, as do the google ads. What's going on!?[/quote] I'm not doing anything!!

    take care

    Very easy to prove otherwise with a few simple answers. We'll see, I guess. Just doing our bit to protect the kind folk of BC from being misled and ripped off. Hamster is being entirely reasonable and sensitive, but as far as I know, he is still waiting. ped

    take care

    Well we would be delighted to be proven wrong, but so far some very simple genuine questions have been left unanswered and met with derision which is rather odd to say the least. ped

    New affiliate

    Hi everyone The Bass Merchant is the newest 'Affiliate' on Basschat - see their brand new forum here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=78"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=78[/url] Still as pure as untrampled snow. Keep checking in for the latest deals and news from the guys in the shop. Cheers ped
  5. Hi matey I'll give you a call when I'm in Oxford either on Sat or Sunday... PM me your number :0)
  6. Hi mate It does indeed hold them securely. I normally put them in the bag with the strings facing the centre. The centre padding is very thick and you certainly won't worry about the basses clacking together. Feel free to check it out and try your basses in it - as I say it's in Witney and I am in Oxford but don't mind meeting in Wit as my parents live there and I am off all next week (though going to the studio on Weds onwards!) Cheers ped
  7. I think separates are the best idea really, though I do like having everything in 'one box' if possible! I wanted to ask what you mean by storing the amp in the cab for touring? If you mean making a 'slot' for the amp to slide into then you may well compromise the sound of the otherwise sealed cabinet (or designed with specifically sized ports). ped
  8. My Marleaux bass also had a zero fret. I think they give more consistency between the fretted and unfretted notes and allow a lower action and overall setup. I like 'em. They do seem to be a European thing, though!
  9. [quote name='silddx' post='740334' date='Feb 9 2010, 08:17 PM']It does.[/quote] Silddx is in yer' house!!
  10. [quote name='leloupa' post='737956' date='Feb 7 2010, 11:43 AM']Can you check the stringspacing please ? Any sound files recorded with those strings ? greetings, Dave[/quote] The track 'Coasting Down Vesuvius' on my site here [url="http://www.freewebs.com/mrped/facethemusic.htm"]http://www.freewebs.com/mrped/facethemusic.htm[/url] is recorded on a 4 string Pedulla MVP bass, with P/J Bartolini pickups. The only difference is the fact it was a 4 string and a 'Custom' which meant it had a natural maple finish. The 'Bass solo' at 2:00 is where you can hear the bass best. Sorry about the tasteless tune, it was great fun though! It was recorded totally clean, straight from the bass into a Zoom MRS4 mini digital recorder thing. It was ages ago and I had no other equipment. The Pedulla was my first proper bass. Also worth mentioning is the fact that these basses are just incredibly playable! Beautifully responsive, comfortable, well balanced and the string-to-string balance is great, one of the most consistent sounding wooden necked basses I have tried. ped
  11. I had an Amped BA500 for a little while - it developed an intermittent fault which sounded like a dry solder joint leading to signal degradation and noise. When it worked, it sounded great... but extremely heavy and difficult to move because of the shape of the thing. The tilt back made it hard to push around and it was pretty deep. ped
  12. No worries - luckily this sort of thing happens extremely rarely, and because there is such a good community here, abusers are highlighted very quickly. I hope this hasn't put you off! ped
  13. Hi mate, where in Bucks are you? I am moving to Maidenhead soon. ped
  14. Sorry to hear this mate - it seems several people have had trouble with this member, and after the language he used in contact with a moderator I am going to put his posts on moderator approval for the time being. ped
  15. Both now sold, thanks Cheers for the info Mike, I have done this before with other gear but I am unable to confirm or deny when I will be in for a collection so it wasn't really an option unfortunately. Cheers ped
  16. Classic post. Agreeing with my POV? Check. Use of words like Abhor and Vehemently? Check. Use of word Monkey? Check.
  17. How come?
  18. Wikip.. oh :0)
  19. [quote name='TimR' post='738596' date='Feb 7 2010, 11:09 PM']Nice crop, you have a better eye than I do. I like the colour though the light green and brown are really complimentary. Anyway - Avatar?[/quote] Yeah I think I like the colour too, I'll set it as my avatar on a trial basis :0)
  20. [quote name='Rich' post='738583' date='Feb 7 2010, 10:58 PM']Is true. I took these on an old Sony digital point'n'shoot that cost me 40 quid on fleaBay. Quite pleased with 'em. [attachment=42053:operahouse.jpg] [attachment=42054:harbourbridge.jpg] [attachment=42055:sidmouth_ickle.jpg][/quote] Stunning pics Rich... just goes to show, you can give a crap camera to a good photographer but the best camera in the world is useless in the wrong hands!
  21. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='738553' date='Feb 7 2010, 10:33 PM']Have you got a pic of your rig, Ped?[/quote] Not a very good one I'm afraid but you can see it behind and to the left of this pic from the SEBB I'm very pleased with it. I don't think SWR make those cabs any more though. ped
  22. OK Tim, here is a square crop, and to satisfy Rasta's request for a black and white image I put it to greyscale too. ped
  23. Sorry mate I think it'll be a bit of a ballache to post. ped
  24. Yeah, the poweramp has XLR or 1/4" inputs. I run it in stereo; one side driving the 4x8 and the other with the 1x15 giving me independent vol control over each cab. I was REALLY impressed with the way it filled the auditorium during my demo at the SE Bass Bash. I think it sounded better than my old Mesa rig. ped
