The string vibrates, which makes the wood vibrate, which affects how long the string sustains for, and the density of the vibrating wood cuts or enhances certain frequencies. You won't hear it much on an active bass with a lot of boost, but should really hear the difference the wood makes on a passive bass with a piezo pickup. Without the wood vibrating and playing its part, would an upright bass work?

[quote name='Niteeyez' post='593920' date='Sep 9 2009, 03:04 PM']Hi Guys i recently introduced myself on the Intro page. I am looking to buy a Bass guitar and i am looking for a really good or at least decent one that's under 150 at the moment. I have been looking at: Johnny Brooks P-Bass Stagg SG Bass can anyone please help Thx[/quote] Not one of those two! I'll recommend what I always recommend for a beginner - Vintage V4 - an excellent bass at the price point - [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/14230-vintage-v4-bass-series-vintage-white.html"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/1423...tage-white.html[/url]

I must get off my lazy backside and learn notation again!

[quote name='gafbass02' post='592590' date='Sep 8 2009, 12:31 AM']funny you should say that. According to our keyboard players Dad I look like meatloaf!![/quote] Whereas after a couple of weeks of too much food and beer on holiday I look and feel like a meatloaf!

Haven't heard the Midget but the Barefaced Compact I have is pretty awesome for the size/weight.

Personally I've never had a bad experience with them, but others here have had bad service from them Maybe get a written quote from them and see if Martin at The Gallery will match or beat it? - [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/musicman.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/musicman.html[/url]

Great bass; One of the less popular colour combos; 3 band EQ not generally regarded as good as the 2 band EQ; Zero feedback seller; If you can view before you buy, or cash on collection to make sure it's legit you might end up with a bargain for around £550 - £575

Loved it from the first day I heard it

Don't a lot of Mesa'a have dual voltage coil taps on their transformers? - Maybe just a quick re-wire?

[quote name='richrips' post='567763' date='Aug 13 2009, 10:56 AM']I'm looking to build a pair of jack 112 cabs from Bill Fitzmaurice website. a couple of speakers are mentioned as suitable. The eminence 3012ho looks like a classy piece of kit but i'm finding it hard to find (especially reasonably priced...) in the uk.

[url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=BAC12NDL76&browsemode=manufacturer"]http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=BAC...de=manufacturer[/url] anyone used the neo celestion green label 12s? [url="http://professional.celestion.com/bass/green/index.asp"]http://professional.celestion.com/bass/green/index.asp[/url] opinions, advice, comparisons, experiences and links to deals most welcome! Thanks again, Rich[/quote] Stick with what Bill recommends. You can get them through Ebay here - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Eminence-Kappalite-3012HO-Neodymium-12-Speaker-3012-HO_W0QQitemZ140320324036QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item20abbe39c4&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Eminence-Kappalite-3...p3286.m63.l1177[/url] See if the seller will reduce the shipping for two units, you might get 2 of them for £300 delivered

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='568129' date='Aug 13 2009, 04:27 PM']No - because they choked out.[/quote] I'm genuinely surprised by that. He's done several setups for me and they were all fantastic. Whose bass did he set up that choked out?

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='568120' date='Aug 13 2009, 04:18 PM']His setups choked out.[/quote] Did he do one for you?

Every country has problems with human rights and ethical issues - it just depends what side of the fence you're looking over. I'm not saying we shouldn't be bothered about the regimes in China, North Korea etc, but I'm also bothered about the regime in the UK, USA and France for example

Any serial number? - I'm sure all the members here will keep an eye out for this. Hope you get it back!

There's a 1 minute wait between PM's which has been introduced to control flood's of PM's from spambots, so that shouldn't be affecting you. There's no limit on the number you can send in a day, although you can't PM more than 5 members with 1 PM. The PM inbox is limited to 10000 PM's, so it's unlikely that's full? If it's still acting up I'll activate the Phatmonkey and get him to thrash about inside the server with a claw hammer

There's quite a bit of room, we just haven't really decided what's going to be done where!
