anyone at all? alternatively, anything under 25 that's really good that anyone would reccommend? looking for something that won't be dead in a week or two, and that won't break easily. i really want to try the firewires though, wish they'd come back in stock

[quote name='bremen' post='235043' date='Jul 8 2008, 03:56 PM']I live in Cambridge and would love to be able to help but unfortunately property is so damn expensive here that even cheap places are scarce (have you tried down Fen Road?) and I know of no freebies. Good luck - let me know if you find anywhere![/quote] do you mean the lockup? we've got a rehearsal there tonight, i think, but i've not been yet so i don't know how big the rooms are, cheap though. may have something sorted with the uni i go to, but they've been taking almost two weeks to get back to us now so who knows. not looking good. has anyone tried flightpath or halfton studios? just looking for alternative, really. been to mulletboy a few times but it's too expensive and very much less-than-amazing.

anyone at all? or does no one live near cambs

i've got one, haven't used it in a while. found it helps the most if you do it at a medium speed for a long time, used to just sit at work and do it, changing hands when one got tired. made my fingers and wrists really strong....

i've found some fairly cheap rehearsal spaces in cambs, but nothing amazing. does anyone know of anywhere good (ie free) in or around cambridge?

all made by yamaha: urea nut, ivory color four string fender-style bridge - GONE single stack j-pickup, bridge position - GONE all of these were taken off of my bass when i upgraded, and i've got no use for them. i'm keeping the p-pickup that had come off of it for now, but if you really want it i could probably part with it. is only the counterpart to the j. None of these parts are amazing but if anyone has got some sort of experimental or project thing they don't want to really invest anything in yet, these do the basic function. pickup from cambridge, as i've no idea when i'd get a chance to ship

Yamaha RBX170 with a Lindy Fralin p-pup, Seymour Duncan STK-J2 j-pup, LQ Badass II bridge, Graph-Tech nut, and fully shielded with custom-built passive electronics.

[quote name='jono b' post='232088' date='Jul 3 2008, 04:00 PM']I only really notice the dull sound on my E string, and I wont go stright into swapping the valve just yet, but it was more of a general query. Could swapping the valve give me more gain, a clearer sound, different tone depending on what tube I replace the stock one with?[/quote] the short answer is that yes, it could. however, to what degree of success depends on the valve chosen and even perhaps the particular circuit topology of the amp. Basically, there is really not one simple, solid answer. for this situation, i would say the same thing everyone else has; to try everything else first, including EQ, etc. and if that doesn't work get in touch with ashdown for advice.

what about the TC Electronic ND-1?

hey all- new here, just joined a few days ago but loving what i've seen so far onto the topic, does anyone know of a place in the UK where i can get firewire strings? only one place i've found, stringbusters, and they're currently out of stock. i'm hesitant to order them off ebay all the way from canada, but that seems like it might be the only option. i would wait, but i really need new strings atm and i'm also impatient! haha and before anyone can say anything, yes, i know there are other strings out there that are very good as well, but really, i've been wanting to give these a go for some months now but, if there's a string out there i don't know about that's strong, moderately bright, long lasting and under 25, i'm all ears!
