B-ump, someones gotta like some grungey blues rock?

[url="http://www.myspace.com/eightdirtypages"]www.myspace.com/eightdirtypages[/url] We're playing at the Rose and Crown in Crawley (Sussex) next weekend with loads of bands ( ) Should be a good night, good selection of beers and good prices I believe, everything should be cool until I unleash the Fafner

[url="http://www.myspace.com/eightdirtypages"]www.myspace.com/eightdirtypages[/url] All done DIY, had some help from Lee in the Blue Stragglers (see our Top Friends) who played the horrible (in a good way) slide solo in "Get Up" Clearing samples - anyone know anything about that jazz? They're only short snippets... CDs will be available at gigs - artworks not done yet but if anyone fancies a copy send me your details and I'll chuck one in the post on a verbatim CDR with a scribbled track list and note of thanks

Balance is great, going back to my spector but that's 35" scale so can be a bit neck heavy so used to a bit of weight in my left hand. My old guitarist works in the service department at fender and he's gonna have a look at the lectrics for me and hopefully be getting a bit of a refund because of the work needed. Gig next week so might give it a run out anyway

Yeah, the white P is luvverly

Well I'm chuffed with it

Confused... Does The Bass Cellar = Music Ground? If so I think this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Guild-B302-70s-Original-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ310137980158QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item310137980158&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Guild-B302-70s-Origi...%3A1%7C294%3A50[/url] is the one I've just bought. I know I paid over the odds (really wanted one + had the cash) but didn't pay that much!

Oh and neck profile is pretty similar to my Spector, which is cool

Here she be! Electronics are shot, got output but the pickup selector only selects bridge-both-both and only one pot works (bridge pickup volume) But easiest thing ever to set up, got it playing pretty nice in drop C with the scabby strings that were on there already so looking forward to getting the Newtones on there and having a proper fettle. Luckily I this picture is one of the first results when you search for "B302" and I reckon I can rewire from it:

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='486804' date='May 13 2009, 12:07 PM']I was very , very close to having a punt for the one Shaggy bought from Rayman. I had one of those 'I'll leave it til the morning and what we will be' moments. It wasn't to be. I can remember playing several as a young man as I wanted a different bass to my Precision , didn't fancy a Gibbo and couldn't afford a Ric. Trust me , there was bugger all else to choose from back then. Had quite a soft spot for them ever since though I never owned one. I liked the different look , I liked the brand as Guild were well known as top end acoustic makers , I liked the sound which was non-fendery but not as 'trifle in an old sock' as a Gibson. I liked playing them too. You will let us see your new aquisition I hope.[/quote] Of course! I ummmd and ahhhhhd too long on the fretless as well. Have ordered some low tuning 105 - 80 - 65 - 45 Newtone strings (thanks Sibob!) because I want to tune it to drop C but don't want to take a file to it to fit 130s. Stuck at work for the day though

Hadn't received an email back from Red Onion so nearly took it apart last night, but this came up on ebay: Sorted and a half

Yeah I've seen them, didn't pay that much though! And my spector's got a big neck so no problems with that, just hoping the courier depot doesn't close too early so I can pick it up tonight.

Just paid for a Guild B302 and should be with me tomorrow, pictures will follow! I first saw one in the back of Bass Guitar Magazine (maybe 8-10 years ago??) in the 'unusual basses' section they had on the last page; love at first sight. Been close to buying a couple in the past but got my rent deposit from my last house back today and snapped one up Can't blooming wait

I won't mention what happened when I was routing out the body on my fretless to fit the electrics.

Nah, bypass switch will be easier and I won't burn my fingers/table (again) with the soldering iron

The fuzz switch is at the top right, to operate it the wah would be in the same postition as if I hadn't moved the switch so I don't think it would solve the problem. I'm planning to have the bypass switch below, wah always on so I can just tap the switch and step straight on the wah.

Nah, don't wanna go drilling holes in my pedal tbh - bypass switch is much easier!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='485076' date='May 11 2009, 02:12 PM']I don't know, I think it's a great suggestion! It means you don't have to buy any parts.[/quote] But where the fuzz switch is it will mean to operate it the wah will be in the same postition as it is with the normal switch, so I'll still get the trebley 'gah' when I go to turn it off

Nah, the bypass pedal is gonna be much easier (to set up and operate)

I have a soldering iron but no skill Is this what I need: [url="http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/Loop/Single.htm"]http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/Loop/Single.htm[/url] Thanks for the help guys!

So what would I need? Don't have a clue have always used my effects in-line...

So have the wah on all the time and switch it in/out with the loop pedal?
