  1. I think the irony and relic job make it the gold standard for metal
  2. Chopped up mouse mat is pretty close to the original material, I heard
  3. To be honest i was a bit late for prog and whilst I'm sure it's technically very accomplished it really does leave me cold
  4. Well it was indeed an experience - I thought the options quite limited - no choice over bindings, limited tort, no natural finish options
  5. The bass doc wasn't sure, I asked exactly this question when he was building it He said, and I think he is right, having chipped some off, that's it's poly but it's very thin as poly goes. It's way thinner than the mex fenders I've seen
  6. I have a bass with exactly this same body from the bass doc and I can confirm that they are high quality, nice wood but also light - I recognise the sunburst pattern
  7. You can order the same thing much cheaper through aliexpress. I was going to get a Steinberger copy and do a relic sunburst on it just for irony
  8. Yes they come up on eBay and here quite frequently I had an ibanez sr595 and I just didn't get on with it
  9. What do you do for a living then ? I'm now hugely curious
  10. I use a zoom b2 into a little MP3 amp off amazon "aroma" Has small speaker too so I can play along in a quiet room at OM nights If you have an iPhone or iPad then tonestack app is worth a look too
  11. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1463495362' post='3051788'] There were a couple of years in the 80s that I thought were OK, all the rest of it has been sh*t. The 21st century so far has been the worst of all of it & there's no sign of it getting any better. Looking forward to death quite honestly. [/quote] Being s kid in the 80s was rubbish compared to now Clothes were awful, food was awful and tv was awful
  12. Isn't this off topic?
  13. [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1462910508' post='3046939'] Good answer, because after the basics are covered why does the issue of justification even arise? [/quote] This
  14. you jammy jammy jammy bar stewards My basses live in their bags in a corner of the kitchen and my zoom lives in a cupboard. ** But we are moving soon and there should be a bedroom free.... **in the style of Life of Brian
  15. I have a tanglewood odyssey with an artec apc pro. Previous owner fitted a battery box on upper bout. I chased and found a fault in the junction block that joined the battery box The preamp still doesn't work (I'm pushing the batt check button and it doesn't light up, new 9v batt checked with a multimeter Does anyone have one or experience of one ? Do I need to plug in a lead to get it to work? Do they "burn"?
  16. I would get a multimeter and check each piece wire for continuity
  17. [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1462953693' post='3047139'] Might give "Groove is in the heart" a try [/quote] Other musos spot it and join in. Make you miss first eighth note of second bar, held from first bar
  18. At the OM night(I'm the only bass player in the village) I usually sound check with Groove is in the heart - even the old folk ft start nodding
  19. [quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1462823749' post='3046080'] I am not long into learning and I want to do the right thing by my basses. Will try the washers first. A strap for each bass as well, Thanks all...... [/quote] You can buy a bag of ten, five pairs off aliexpress for peanuts, they work perfectly
  20. [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1443106590' post='2872277'] The 50s CVP has a different pup to the 60's CVP. [/quote] And a rounded shape so he cant rest thumb on it is how I read it
  21. I've had exactly this one and regret selling it
  22. Mine doesn't neck dive either
  23. Burn the heretic !
