Bumping for the second time - not insisting on pick up any more. -
I had one - they're great. Wish I'd not sold it - very punchy ash body, and the series parallel switch is nice for cutting the lows to get a jazzier sound.

Cheers Dude!

Ok, so the tweeter protection bulb blew in my nemesis 1 x 15 cab. I went to a car shop to get a replacement. The original is 24V 18W (no R276), but of course, they only stock 12V stuff. Apparently a 12V bulb will do the job, in fact it's said to make the tweeter sound less harsh, but it may blow more easily. So I've used a 12V bulb for now but............. If it blows, can anyone tell me where I can get an original?

[quote name='daflewis' post='131182' date='Jan 31 2008, 11:00 AM']that's true, mine is up as high as it will go and it is definitely much better for it... fnar fnar.... Col, i'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you... and that you weren't as impressed as i'd hoped you would be, if you would like to try something a bit heavier i have a set of helicore hybrids that went on my stick and came straight back off again - (the problem with them is that they don't work well with the magnetic pup) but if you would like to experiment with a heavier string you're welcome to give them a try. [font="Arial Black"][size=2]Blimming post office and there £8 international handling charge - what's that all about!!??[/size][/font] oh dear... think i got away with that one.... :blush: sorry! that said, now you've had the corellis on for a while, any further thoughts? daf[/quote] Thanks for the offer Daf. To be honest I haven't played it that much of late, but I've got a bit of duo work coming up that hopefully I'll use if for - so I'll persevere with what I've got for a bit. I'm going to lift the action a bit and I've also picked up a Behringer acoustic simulator that I'm gonna experiment with. I'm In the process of recording 'moondance' as a demo, using the NS with the acoustic simulator - I'll let you know when I post it on our myspace site so you can have a listen. Col

Roland DB-500 Combo - price reduction

PM'd re the roland matey -
Replied - blimey you are a long way away!

Even different makes of strings of the same gauge can affect action. Being a cheapskate i used to use Warwick Red Label. I've gone over to Roto swing bass now, and lowered my action significantly,despite being the same gauge - is this due to difering tension between the string makes?

Let us know how it turns out hell baby!! -
Natural Elm OLP MM3 Stingray 5 Copy. This bass is in very good condition with no marks or dinks. I originally had strap locks on this. When i was putting the bottom one on, the screw snapped in the wood - elm seems like a bloody hard wood! The replacement screw was put in next to it - this doesn't show. Electronics are a little unusual. Despite buying this new from The Bass Cellar, the electronics are not what is the norm for this model of bass. Normally they have a volume for each coil of the pickup, and a master tone. This has a non splittable pickup, with one master volume, and two tone controls cutting at different frequencies - both being passive top cut jobbies. When you roll the front off, you get a dubby precision sound, when you roll the back one off you get a more nasal jazz bridge pickup sound. This works very well, and is imho better than the normal setup. There's a very faint buzz if you touch the pickup polepieces - hardly noticeable - however, I've wound the pickup a long way into the body to avoid this. The pickup is pretty hot so this isn't an issue. I've achieved a fairly low action on this one, and it plays very nicely thanks. Would prefer pickup but will post at a push, or I could meet a buyer at a railway station between Euston and Brum - no offers or trades thanks. Here's the pics........... Only reason I'm selling is that I've got a couple of other nice fives, and this ones the cheapest so it's gotta go.

A couple of Precisions - Jap and US
King Tut replied to Marky L's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Not sure but I think the USA one is a little older than 3 years - isn't Z1 = 2001? The Jap description sounds dodgy but the bass looks OK although clearer pics would help. The strap hanger on the back of the headstock means (I think) that it'd be an alder bodied one with US pickups as opposed to the cheaper basswood models - which are still good. I'd be dubious about buying it without seeing it from those pics and that description. The third bass isn't a Precision Lyte. -
Maybe my MM3 will become collectable??!! Hee hee

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='124665' date='Jan 21 2008, 03:11 PM']Is that a flame natural? If it is and OP doesn't want it, then I'll have it (want the flame top )[/quote] Sorry dude - it's the solid elm version - the older type - not a flame top. Still a looker though!

Shipping is free if you pay over a certain amount - always had good service from them and no import duty.

Marky -I've got a perfect condition MM3 you can have for £100 if you can pick it up from Milton Keynes - it's a natural elm one - looks and sounds great!

Maybe you peeps from the 'far away' could get Flanker to sort some aviation out 4 ya.

I've got a Spirit and have had several B2's in various incarnations. The Hohners were a while ago and were damn good instruments - there's been several variations inc drop D tuners and XLR outs but.............. My steiny is my 'just in case bass' - it travels to every gig as a back up because it's small. It doesn't hang too well on a strap so I've made a bracket to make it hang better - do a search and you'll find some stuff - but other than that it's a lovely bass with a real bite on the bridge pickup - lots of depth on the neck and a supremely playable neck - I will keep mine for sure!!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='121547' date='Jan 16 2008, 04:15 PM']B & Q but you have to make sure it's bonded to the pedal allright. I ended up using superglue after the pedals came loose as it's quite expensive stuff to get! (i'm talking about the bond between the velcro and the pedal, or the velcro and the board, not the bond between velcro and velcro, which for the B&Q brand, is particularly strong). I'm hoping someone else is going to post some cheaper, and stickier links![/quote] Thanks Tom - keep 'em coming!

To be honest - I think the real problem is that you can't name the patches, and being as I'm the wrong side of 40 I can't remember where i put what. Ironically, I seldom change patch during songs - just have a patch set up for a particlular song - i.e one for 'Starlight', one for 'Come as you are', a generic clean patch, one with chorus on etc. Now I'm adding more for the Floyd Tribute band - I can't remember if patch A4 was Nirvana or Sheep!! This works fine with the old style patch select - remember you could choose to switch it off and change directly - and you can see what patch you've selected.

OK guys - cheers. Seems like zoom could have made life so much easier if they'd let you preselect like on the older units - i.e. you can select a patch but the sound won't change until you hit both pedals together. I think my problem is I play in 3 different bands, and the set lists change every gig, so I couldn't set up the patches in order. What I'm gonna try is using my zoom as part of pedal board. I'm thinking something like a seperate compressor, BDI 21, Dimension C, Guvnor Plus, Bass Synth Wah and Zoom. I can keep the zoom on bypass and use it for volume control and tuning, then switch the other pedals in and out as required. I can still program specific sounds into the zoom - select the patch before the song, then bypass it, then switch it in as required during the song. Sorry if this is hijacking the thread a bit but it's a conversation worth having methinks - cheers for the input Kev and Tom.
