[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1418067302' post='2626533'] Our main singer in my function band sits down for the whole gig..... [/quote] I wish I could sit down and play the bass during the gig. I much prefer it. Or would that be un-professional and would people leave the pub?

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1417847995' post='2624511'] Mine's definately a keeper too. [/quote] How many times have we all said this at some point [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Thats a really nice colour. Had a pewter one last year sometime and the bass was flawless in construction. [/size]

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1417968839' post='2625563'] Music stands? That's disgusting, next thing you know some people will be using frets. [/quote] Or things that let you check that your instrument is in tune [size=4] [/size]

GS, you are either extremely rich or own a guitar shop!!! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]That is a beauty but is expensive on this side of the pond.[/size]

Crap drummer, crap band. I have knocked back 2 offers of joining a band due to this. What always surprises me is how the rest of the band can`t see what the problem is.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1417525569' post='2621304'] Not used these, but should be top quality: [url="http://www.award-session.com/cleartone_cables.html"]http://www.award-ses...one_cables.html[/url] [/quote] I have used these for years and they have never let me down. Fast service too.

Some people get hot under the collar about this relicing business. As long as it`s not done to con people, then I see no problem with it. That Jazz is very well done, better than some I have seen.

Get a Beringher BD 121. It will give you another range of sounds, is cheap as chips and is a really useful piece of kit. But a passive Jazz is what it is and most people get one to get the sound it makes.

I owned a BB 414 and a TRBX 304 and they don`t sound similar: different pickups and active versus passive. I have moved both on but I prefer the BB and now have an old BB 1100s and couldn`t be happier. To be honest, I found the TRBX sounds (and there are a good few available via the niffty 5 way switch) not to my liking after a few weeks. I tend to find this when buying cheaper active only basses but this is imo only. I not saying one is better than the other, they are just different. If I was buying one again, I would go for the 504 with the active/passive option and other pickups as they seem to get a decent write up. And the build quality is usually spot on as well.

I have a Pawn shop Mustang in a case, under the bed. I had it up for sale but it is just so damm sexy that I don`t know whether to keep it or not.The thing is, I cannot get used to the smaller fret spacing. I much prefer a 34" scale. So it sits in it`s case, unloved [size=4] [/size]

I gig once every Julember, whether I need one or not...

The guy has been off line since October 2008, so I wouldn`t hold your breath [size=4]This thread started in Jan 2008.[/size] [size=4]Why don`t you post an ad in the Wanted section?[/size]

Get a Yamaha with a P and J set up. End of argument. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415992323' post='2605975'] The Behringer BDi21? Its actually plugged in with a double ended 9v lead to the output from the TC polytune which handily has in and out, that gets its 9v from the plug in transformer and a lead with 5 ends in a daisy chain. Adaptor in mains outlet - Behringer AB100 pedal - Fishman pro eq - TC polytune - Behringer Bdi21 [/quote] Ta for that.

Just out of interest Pete, which power supply is the BD plugged into?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415983949' post='2605865'] Oh yes one massive knob controls the whole operation I'm afraid [/quote] I think that just about sums up most of us on here....

I can`t see any shop meeting that price. I think they are £575 in GG?

Used a Ashdown Mag since 2005 and gigged it about 20 times a year, no problems. Bought a TC BG 250, done about 12 gigs with it, it went pop. Back to the Mag. Agree with you Truckstop, sometimes solid is better.

Isn`t the 11th Commandment "Though shall not slap on a Rush song so as not to upset our God and Master Geddy?"

Last week, I ordered their cheap P bass copy as a gig back up for my main squeeze. Total cost £65 to my door. I changed the tuners and bridge to some Wilkinson gear I had kicking around, put on a set of Picato flats and its okay. The rosewood board did look a bit dry, so gave it a good going over with some lemon oil. The frets have no sharp edges, bass is nice and light and sounds pretty decent through my amp at home noise levels. I removed the transfer as I was looking to put on a Funder transfer, which I may do in the future but for now it`s a Spiderman bass! [attachment=176177:SAM_0792.JPG] [attachment=176178:SAM_0793.JPG]

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1415639826' post='2602278'] Wow, please let us know your thoughts when it arrives! Very interested to hear what it's like in passive mode. Truckstop [/quote] This is the way I used mine as the active boost, is hot, hot, hot! That price is a steal. I paid around £575 for my last one. The only reason I got rid of it was the chuncky neck.

Yep, old Betsy was sounding rather nice. And that is a decent drummer as well. The band looked as if they were really enjoying themselves but regarding Ferry`s vocals, did you notice that the backing singers were doubling every word that he sang? Just his style or is his voice shot?

I just stuck a set of Nickel wound Daddario EXL160M on my Pawn shop Mustang. They are medium scale, 50.70,85, 105. I haven`t had the chance to play it loud through an amp yet but they seem ok. Got them from Strings direct for £19.

Just completed a deal with Dave and can only echo the comments above. A pleasure doing business with him and would not hesitate to do so again. Gerry

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1414955880' post='2595061'] DPD have a system in place that gives you an hour's warning ahead of their delivery via SMS. I'd be asking questions about why that wasn't in effect. [/quote] Spot on Kiwi. I got a pair of work boots delivered by DPD, got a text saying delivery would be between 1 and 2 pm and the guy appeared at 1 05.
