[quote name='paul, the' post='32000' date='Jul 15 2007, 09:48 AM']Too true! The votes have changed since I started introducing pictures as well Is she an active or passive?[/quote] Active. Colour combinations do grow on you - I might buy 2 pickguards and swap whenever I change strings Hamster

[quote name='Hamster' post='30999' date='Jul 12 2007, 11:25 PM']Darcy - I have the tab of Abba's version if that helps - it's fairly accurate. I don't have the Wondermints version. Hamster[/quote] Darcy - here you go. Wearing of platform boots and silver sparkle suit will help you to learn it faster (so I'm told) [attachment=1193:Knowing_...wing_You.pdf] Hamster

Got to agree about the OLP, glad I haven't eaten yet [b]EDIT[/b] Don't mind me, choose what [i]you[/i] like the look of. Who gives a flying monkey duck what I or anyone else thinks. Although looking at that black-white-black on black, I'm starting to wish I bought the bass.[/quote] I value other people's opinion and comments because things start to grow on you - as you've found out Hamster

I'm in the process of acquiring a nice Musicman Sub 4 from Mikey D - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2323"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2323[/url] I'm tempted to pimp it with a new scratchplate but I'm not sure what will look good with the matt black body? Feel free to photoshop if you're talented!! Hamster

[quote name='markdavid' post='31723' date='Jul 14 2007, 12:34 PM']Am thinking of adding an active pre amp to my bass to fatten the sound a little, possibly something like this, [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/17272"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/fl...roduct_id/17272[/url] Ive never added a pre amp to a bass before , will i be able to have this fitted to my bass with out purchasing any other parts? how much do you think it will cost to get a music shop to fit it? The bass I want to add it to is my squier p bass special with the passive seymour duncan quarter pounders[/quote] It may fit into the control cavity, the body might need a little relief work done on it. Have you considered something a little more tailor made, which although a little more you can fit it yourself and save on the luthier fees.

[quote name='Hamster' post='31694' date='Jul 14 2007, 10:24 AM']It may be a related problem but I find that when I edit a post, when I look at the preview (and edited post) I loose loads of text. In fact I only seem to retain the top portion of the post that would fit in the text window. This happens every time in "full edit" mode, but seems to be ok in "quick edit" ? I also did a long (for me!) reply to a PM and the recipient told me she didn't receive any of my reply and a portion of her 'quoted' PM was missing?[/quote] Hamster edited to add "Hamster" which was not included in my original post??

[quote name='bigash' post='31034' date='Jul 13 2007, 12:52 AM']just wondering if it isi just a case of ripping out old and soldering in the new . Or do you have to replace the circuits as well. Any reccomendations of some good quality reasonably priced pups for a p/j bass set up. cheers [/quote] Most of a case of carefully de-soldering and then re-soldering, but yes its simple. When you say circuit, do you mean the active bass circuit, or just the wiring on a passive bass? There are quite a few options out there - what sound are you looking for? Hamster

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='31081' date='Jul 13 2007, 08:38 AM']There are a series of free concerts going on this month at The Scoop, an ampitheatre right next to City Hall on the south bank. Friday evenings feature an awesome soul/funk band made up of session musicians called The Allstars. I'm going there with a colleague tonight - anyone else interested? We'll be having a cheeky wine or three while we're there![/quote] Oooooo I like! - Already going to a gig tonight but I see The Allstars are doing their thing at The Scoop again on 27th July - I'll be there.

[quote name='merchant' post='30799' date='Jul 12 2007, 04:46 PM']I've finally got round to getting on board basschat, I was Tommy.S on bass talk and whatever else it was called before then. I play double bass, having stopped playing bass guitar 3 or so years ago after damaging my hearing. I now only play entirely acoustically and pretty much only with my band merchant (hence my user name) which is a dark post-rock/post classical group leaning towards the noise and free improv scenes, consisting of drums doublebass clarinet and occaisional additions of guest instruments> details: myspace.com/merchanttrio Cheers Thomas[/quote] Hi Thomas and welcome back!, only a few changes here - all for the better.
