I'm assured this guy really knows his stuff - [url="http://www.chambonino.com/"]http://www.chambonino.com/[/url] in Nottingham Hamster

The lesson? - don't do a lot of heavy drugs! Hamster

He's been! A Precision body (+ a 1/4 pounder) A Precision neck A set of tuners A string tree A Badass II bridge A set of pickguard screws A new neck plate Guess what I'll be doing all day Hamster

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='109143' date='Dec 24 2007, 10:33 PM']Hi guys & girls, was just wondering what lovely basses & other various gear you all received for Xmas? I'll start the ball rolling with an Ashdown MAG 300 head unit that I'm using with my MarkBass 2x10 cabinet as a "baby rig" [/quote] So is South Humberside in a different time zone? I'm still waiting for the morning! Hamster

IIRC, the argument is that it's always best to stack speakers vertically. It improves the vertical dispersion - which I can get my head around, and for some reason it improves the wider dispersion - which I don't understand I'm trusting the opinion of someone like Bill Fitzmaurice or Alex Claber on this.

+1 for compression and a bit of scooping. To give a bit more eq, maybe you could use an Aphex bass exciter (pedal or rack) - marvellous things Hamster

Funny enough I have a Zoom multi-effects pedal for sale, and yes the tuner works fine. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5713&st=0#entry60232"]Just what you're looking for???[/url] Hamster

[quote name='silverfoxnik']But what's worrying me is that there seems to be a lot of unrest developing which IMHO isn't what should be happening here on Basschat, which after all is a brilliant Forum where we can indulge our love of ALL things bass and by extension, ALL things music. Plus, the opportunity to share thoughts, views, news etc with like minded people (i.e. musicians) is a real privilege. And with that in mind I'm going to take this opportunity wish everyone here on Basschat a wonderful & peaceful Christmas & New Year and best wishes for 2008! Nik[/quote] +1 on both of those. [quote name='Ou7shined']edit : rants are ok tho - they are cathartic.[/quote] -1 Maybe cathartic for the individual - but not as a starting point for meaningless and insulting posts which is not good for the website. [quote name='TheBigBeefChief']I think that there is room for some healthy debate, especially if light hearted. However, I think some people do take it a bit far. Hate is a very strong word and is bandied about slightly too casually on this forum sometimes. Merry Christmas.[/quote] +1 on that [quote name='Alun']I must admit I agree. There seem to be a lot more opinionated blinkered posts here these days. I guess it's the nature of growth though - look at the sheer number of idiots who comment on Youtube and post on more established forums.[/quote] +1 on that too [quote name='Tinman']Healthy discussion yes, vitriol for the sake of getting a reaction no.[/quote] +1 also So yes, some topics are pretty pointless from post #1 and go downhill from there. Some, as we've seen are libelous and defamatory and the posters should have more intelligence before ranting and perhaps show some respect for the website owners. Hamster

As a naked neck, about £80 - £100. With the tuners & string tree about £100 - £120. Hamster

Running two 2x10 8ohm cabs and stacking them vertically might be worth considering. Hamster

Hello Moogman and welcome! I'm sure you'll find something in the forums to whet your appetite for GAS in the New Year sales! Hamster

Anything else in the vicinity that might give off interference - plasma TV's, PC's, failing circuits in fridges/freezers, amateur radio ham moved in next door, mini-cab offices etc? Have you tried using a power conditioner? Hamster

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='105100' date='Dec 16 2007, 10:49 PM']Picked this up from Mike (Beneath it all) today & gave it a good clean & a good light set of strings......She's called the Basschat Status whore[/quote] So you spent good money on a dirty whore and strung her up with new bits of wire?? :wacko: I won't tell if you don't Hamster

Hi Stewart Have a look here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=660"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=660[/url] It's a sticky about strings and should tell you almost everything you need to know. If it doesn't - come back with the question Hamster

Steve will fix it - [url="http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/"]http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/[/url] he's in Godalming Surrey though. Steve also recommends this guy - [url="http://www.chambonino.com/"]http://www.chambonino.com/[/url] in Nottingham Hamster
