The 1 meg pot might get near it, but the tone pot mods make the most difference Hamster
-
Yes - it will allow more highs through. If that doesn't work, try a 1meg. Hamster

Haven't tried it, but any regular structured practice is going to help you improve. Hamster

A lot of members are speaking very well of these - [url="http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html"]http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html[/url] AND as cheap as chips Hamster
-
+1 - they are quite a good place to deal with and have good prices, although other shops beat them on a few lines, it won't be by much. Hamster

Are you offering them for sale on this forum, are just providing links to ebay auctions? If you're offering them for sale here, please put up some prices. Thanks Hamster -
[quote name='sam88' post='130427' date='Jan 30 2008, 03:46 AM']hi hi hi there, i am obviously a bassist and i gots me a nice fender jazz 60's reissue in sunburst with tortoise pickguard which is really rather splendid although i can't stop looking at other models [/quote] It's going to be hard reading through the forums without it affecting your GAS Welcome Hamster

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='130228' date='Jan 29 2008, 07:08 PM']A Badass II would work on a jag with no drilling needed. You will need to file slots on the saddles or get a pre-slotted bridge. As for the neck dive its easier & cheaper to move the top strap button. I cured the dive on my thunderbird ([i]probably [/i]the worlds most neck-divingest bass) by moving the button to the neck heel area.[/quote] Moving the strap button should work a treat - and it's a very cheap mod A lot cheaper than a set of Hipshot Ultralights and a Baddass II Hamster

Ummmmmmmmm - Mowtown That's got to be a great gig. Hamster

Stick with 230v - there's so little difference. Hamster
-
Has it always been this way, or has it suddenly developed? Hamster
-
UK voltage is now actually 230v AC to bring us closer to the rest of the EEC which is 220v AC. Hamster

I'm half tempted by the 3-tone sunburst with quilted maple top fretless. Hamster

Hi Dave - and Welcome I think your best bet is to bring over a USA made Jazz or Precision and take back a Warwick. If you put up the Fender for sale on this site, I'm sure it will go the same day Hamster

Hi and Welcome You'll find several Gibson players here - enjoy the site. Hamster

Hello & Welcome Hamster

I still bear the scars of helping Ian Gillan change the starter motor in his crappy old Fiat. Hamster

[quote name='dood' post='129549' date='Jan 28 2008, 08:31 PM']I think it's a sad loss, for what ever reason. The Bass Centre has never been a problem for me. It's a shame that others have had a bad experience.[/quote] +1 I've been in there loads of times, and when they were at Wapping. I never had a problem with any of the guys in there. A shame its had to close its doors. Hamster

Hi, and welcome to the forums Well done for picking it up - now you're gonna have trouble putting it down Hamster

The bass player in The Rutles used to have a bass just like that Hamster -
[quote name='Machines' post='128354' date='Jan 26 2008, 06:25 PM']I've been quite lax about it to be honest but i'm now getting bored of it. If you disagree with price someone has put their item up for, then PM them saying why you believe it is too high. Something is of course only worth what someone is willing to pay, what YOU are willing to pay may be different to someone else. If they choose to take your advice then great - if not then it isn't your problem. If you believe the seller is purposely being dishonest about the item then please PM a moderator who will look into it. The vigilante style self-moderation that is becoming commonplace is a nice theory, but can leads to this kind of situation. It doesn't benefit the forum and doesn't give a favourable impression of the people who are discrediting the item. I will from now on begin to delete any posts where I believe a member is discrediting the seller for the only reason that they disagree with the price of the item.[/quote] +1 - Thanks Hamster -
The album Chops that he did with Joe Pass is still one of my faves Hamster

[quote name='bigash' post='128526' date='Jan 27 2008, 02:21 AM']Can anyone help. I think i may have blown a valve, i now have to turn the gain to almost max before clipping occurs. I cannot visually see valves when switched on. Can i remove valves and visually see any damage which may have happened. Any dangers in doing this. Cheers.[/quote] When the valves are on you should see a faint red glow caused by the heater. You might have to darken the room a bit to see this. No problem taking the valves out (when isolated from the main) As for checking for damage - I suppose cracks are obvious, also discolouration of the glass or red spot like stains on any of the internals.
