    Marginally out with a tuner, maybe not, audiably out, yes. Not that I have ever really checked the intonation at the 12th fret, I tend to only do it at the 19th.

    according to the rumble 100 circuit diagram which is on line, the main volume is actually before the EQ, so yes, the volume affects the outputs. The circuit doesn't seem to have a pre/post DI switch so I assume it is before the change noted by Dad above. It does seem odd, on my amps (BAM200, TC450, ABM600, CTM100, etc) or even the ME90B effects, the DI wasn't effected by the volume*, which seems the right way. * note, the DI on the ME90B isn't affected by the volume knob, which changes the overal volume of the jack output, but it is affected by the volume pedal, which again seems right as that is an effect.

    As I am sure you are aware, it is because all this modern music is just boom boom boom and you don't need a good bass for that Or maybe it is because older music was made by fewer people, who happened to be good, like all the motown song were actually only played by small numbers of musicians, with a large output, whereas in the 80s there was a much larger democracy of players, some good, some bad, and a large number of them only playing the bass because they were the worst guitarist. Then of course, music died in the 90s, and it was just whatever the TB303 put out

    I had the same a few times. I have one of the old Evox which is wood and flat that you can put a pint on, and one of the new, that is not flat, and you can't. So I put the wood one near me so I can tell people not to do it (and I put stuff on it(). I never bother with the other one as it is clearly not flat. But at a gig on new years some woman put a full pint on it, the slopey surface, that is vibrating like mad. Clearly it fell straight off, mostly into the guitarists pedalboard. In her defence I guess she was so drunk I am not sure how she was still upright.

    What monitor do you mean? I am not sure I have ever pressed or noticed a utility icon

    Thanks for that, been listening to them a lot since this

    Not the page reference, just the image link, like this

    If there is a direct link to the image, post that

    I would have thought that most of the reasons would cause the other strings to be out too, unless there is something actually wrong wiht that string. I would certainly swap it with another one before looking for any other permenant change. What sort of level of flat are we talking?

    In the bristol one, pre-move, the bass guy was pretty helpful, although they didn't really have anything other than the Ibanez like I already had, a large number of fenders I wasn't interested in and the occasional rickenbacker at rickenbacker prices. They had a lot of guitars. I bought serveral things from them, I got my ME90B from them as it was available and accessible, several leads, strings, microphone stand, etc. They failed to sell me an Argon8 that I wanted and they had because I couldn't get to try it due to a lack of interest on their part, and a Yamaha DX which they had but didn't have a price so I assumed it was more expensive. Its a shame they have gone, but tbh, since they moved in bristol I have only visited once as its not somewhere I generally would be.

    Agreed - I didnt' think it was a great looking wood for that, but certainly not something I thought about other than the first glance. I mean I prefer ebony because its black, then wenge as it has nice markings.

    So the string layout on the top photo is what you would expect, but then in the 2nd and 3rd, the top sets of strings are reversed (the 4th one you can't really see).

    Well, my practice tonight was way better!
  14. Woodinblack
    Bargain, so only a few hundred quid more than a handmade british P-Bass then!
  15. Woodinblack
    Well, that wasn't their product so it doesn't count!

    Worse still, I got home and my wife said 'I did wonder why you were practicing on a wednesday', but obviously didn't feel like asking! And I still have two days of work to the weekend

    Not great. I loaded the car and headed to the practice place, which is luckily not particularly far. As I drove in their car park was half used for some event, they had a food truck and loads of people sat outside, there was hardly anywhere to park and I was the first there, it was going to be difficult getting the equipment past them. I went to message the guys to say that it looked like it might be an issue and to ask the singer if he had cleared it with the pub owner, then had a sudden though, and looked at my watch. Sadly my watch said Wednesday, which is unfortunate as we practice on thursdays. So I drove home!

    Love that (acrylic bass aside) I think I last took mine out at christmas too - they are heavy things.

    Bax are back
  20. Woodinblack
    That doesn't sound good - they still seem to be taking orders on the web?
  21. Woodinblack
    I don't - but then I am convinced that a lot of people listen with their eyes!

    Please edit your first post and put sold in the title then please

    Yes, I got my first advert from them for a while. I think they might be doing themselves a disservice by not saying in the email or anywhere in the website 'yes, we know we had a very public 3 month break but now we are back and are operating normally' rather than just not mentioning it and hoping everyone forgets!

    Clearly, they are 10 times the price I would expect them to be a lot better, and I wasn't expecting much if anything from the lekatos (in fact I didn't use them for a year or so as I figured they would be poor) but they work really well, so they will do for me - I am not in the MiPros price bracket!
