I'd be unhappy if a had to squint at bass tab all night in a dimly lit room

Theres a step by step guide here - [url="http://www.tunemybass.com/bass_setup/setting_bass_intonation.html"]http://www.tunemybass.com/bass_setup/setti...intonation.html[/url]

It's just an [i]estimated [/i]price! Nice necks on those, knock a 0 off the estimate and you're about there.

Interesting physics happening inside that amp too - 2400watts input gives a more than lossless 3800watts output? With the other bits and bobs on it I think it just might fall a little short on it's claims?

Haven't tried the Diamond. Tried the rest. Own a Demeter. I won't be bothering to try anything else.

Also a lot of info to be found via the search function - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=ef6ba447af8583645c3b29a6f0fbbbae&search_in=titles&result_type=topics&highlite=%2Bcompressor"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=Search...e=%2Bcompressor[/url]

AnalogMan Mini Chorus with deep mod - sublime. Everything else I've heard sounded quite harsh and digital by comparison. I like warm and retro, which this is excellent at. It really did live up to all the hype when I played through it and found my personal chorus heaven!

Ah, the old suck, squeeze, bang, blow rhythm method!

Hard to tell what's wrong - got any good pictures of your wiring attempts?

Neat - added

Carole Kaye has signed all my James Jamerson albums - must be worth something?

Billie Joe is no Mozart but I really like Green Day. I think sometimes we can get so involved in the esoterica of music that we miss the basic fun of it, and I like to basically have fun!

Some really really nice basses there! :wub: Sound is of course subjective - I spent hours in The Gallery playing and deciding which 5 stringer had a better B string - for me the stock Lakland 55/01 beat the SR5 by a country mile (through the same rig)

I hear the low-cost housing is cheap and organic Best of luck on this journey!

There's a couple here - [url="http://www.thebassment.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=6"]http://www.thebassment.info/index.php?opti...=5&Itemid=6[/url] Simon Merrick is still sorting out a new edition of the books you really want - 'Jamiroquai : Essential Bass Transcriptions Vols 1 & 2'

White or tort, but not in that order

[quote name='horribleman' post='471674' date='Apr 24 2009, 04:30 PM']I quite like the look of this, and for a shop it seems a reasonable price. [url="http://machinehead.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/38_117/products_id/2052"]Musicman Stingray V[/url] Is it a good one, or are there some to avoid? Also, what sort of tone do you get with these?[/quote] If you're near Hitchen - pop in and have a noodle?

I think Merton in Redhill has one - he leaves his keys under his bass-playing garden gnome - go in and help yourself!
