    Got any pix?

    You can easily control the mids by making the adjustments I suggested. MarkBass amps of my experience do tend to honk a bit, but sound great live and loud. But I don't like honk either, so cut as suggested above.

    Turning VPF adds bottom but thins out the sound, in my experience. I increase low by one notch, low mid ditto, decrease hi mid by one notch. Simples.

    VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) center frequency 380 Hz (cut) VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) frequency range 250 Hz-20 kHz (cut)

    Nice! Ibanez make great basses.

    Where are you playing?

    Thanks for that, Dave. I can totally imagine getting completely lost on a six string bass! Even though I’ve been playing six string guitar for a long time.

    How did the wide neck feel, playing it for a whole show? I briefly investigated an Ibanez sixer in PMT Oxford. It felt HUGE to me, but I have weedy little guitar player hands.

    Ibanez SR’s are great basses, very good value for money. I just got an SR500 and it is lovely to play. I’m guessing yours is too. have fun!

    Yamaha BB1000, quickly defretted and a Jazz pickup added by Norman Reed in Totnes. Got a second fretted sunburst one for a pair. I got them from a guy in Glasgow called Charlie Marks, who had a funny wee music shop in Kilmarnock Road. I also got a seventies Tele from Charlie. Everything always cost £150.

    So, tinted but not lacquered? I see. Mine was tinted poly finish.

    And now I’ve just noticed your neck have got maple boards with plastic blocks. Best not to take a heat gun to those..

    I had a similar vintage tint neck. I used a heat gun judiciously to get the poly finish off, and then refinished it with a couple of coats of Liberon Finishing Oil. Looks much better and feels great.

    I love this whole album. Makes me think of Quincy Jones’ Body Heat.

    Very, very nice indeed. If only I had eight hundred quid.

    Gawd. I used to have an old Epiphone Casino. They have buckets and buckets of mojo. Crazy cool bass.

    That is not just blacker than a very black thing, it is shinier than a very shiny thing. Really beautiful.

    So do I! I even play them sometimes!

    Ooh, a black Les Paul shaped thing (or two). Sexy! All I ever wanted when I were a lad. Good work, Christine!

    I’ve only tried digital octavers, and I find to my ears they warble, rather than jump an octave. But, I am pretty deaf (reformed guitar player), and have tinnitus.

    Hi Do you still have this? I think this would suit a learner friend of mine very well. He is close to Chipping Norton, so not far to Banbury. Shal I PM you?
  23. songofthewind

  24. songofthewind
    Tort with the yellow one, mint green with the blue one.
  25. songofthewind
