the light wasn't too good, but here's some more pics. I was trying to show the contouring and the thumbchumb profile with these. He had to put it somewhere

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='606320' date='Sep 23 2009, 12:58 AM']Tell us about the LEDS then... How do they "pulse". From what I can work out from the circuit, they should come on in pairs?[/quote] well spotted sir! As someone who can just about wire a plug I'm impressed There are about 7 different options (not including all on) and they go from 2 together pulsing up the neck alone, then several together going up the neck, so that by the end of the options it looks like all the lights are on and they are being switched off as they go up the neck. Apologies for the rather poor explanation.

thanks for the kind comments guys [quote name='steve' post='604927' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:25 PM']Fantastic, looking forward to more pics, I think I've sussed what the bendwell is, what's a thumbchum?[/quote] it's the name for the all in one pup cover/thumb rest/ramp.

[quote name='ped' post='563866' date='Aug 8 2009, 10:59 PM']They have been in contact with us and are keen to improve their standing and reputation with Basschatters. I hope your positive post is a step in the right direction. Has anyone else had a positive experience there? ped[/quote] doesn't seem to be happening does it?

I'll try get some better pics up soon and will post more, but as you can imagine I'm spending quite a lot of time playing Soundwise (IMO) it falls somewhere between my old passive SUB and a Fender P. There is no tonal variation as it only has a volume pot, but for a passive bass it kicks it out - the pup has been extra wound and it is hum cancelling. The bendwell requires a bit more finger strength than I currently have, so that's something to work on. The neck is probably the best I've ever played, it suits me perfectly, and the thumbchumb does everything I wanted it to. The original plan for the LED's was for them to be off, on, flash, and pulse. However Jon went the extra mile, and now I can control the pulses I love it - which is just as well HAPPY HAPPY - JOY JOY!

*cue fanfare* Even the LED board has LED's! and tradition maintained

Leather Tuscadero anyone :wub:

When are you back in that London? MacWifey missed out last time, and I've a couple more mates who will be up for it - if the Victoria line is running

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='597988' date='Sep 14 2009, 10:18 AM']Still coming, but in the light of the number of amps that people are bringing (and the healthy representation of the Barefaced stable) I'm wondering if I really need to bring the rig. Thoughts, anybody? S.P.[/quote] Please do. I'm interested in hearing and seeing it

Getting over G.A.S. is easy. I've done it hundreds of times

[quote name='Basszilla' post='596703' date='Sep 12 2009, 05:48 PM']Guys Bit of a cheeky post but if you dont ask.... Got a recording date next week and haven't owned or used a DI in aeons.... I won't be able to crank my matamp up too much as it's a home recording jobbie. Was wondering if anyone would lend me a nice DI for the week if I paid for special delivery back and forth (and obviously cover the cost of the unit if it failed on me) I haven't really got time to sort one out any other way. I would be happy to pay for the loan or you can have my bluebeard fuzz or wah for the week if anyone would like to try any of them.. Would be happy to try the hartke, aguilar or sansamp or anything nice and effective. thanks Tim[/quote] you could probably get a cheapie Behringer or something that would do the job for the same price as delivery back and forth. It would then be something worth keeping in the gig bag just in case.

yep making an effort on stage is vital. Here's some of my old band, who were described by the NME as Psychedelic Funk And my latest band. You'll never guess what kind of music we play (don't think we'll ever be in the NME either )

[quote name='Merton' post='590999' date='Sep 5 2009, 09:09 PM']It is looking that way isn't it... But I think I'm the only one bringing a Vintage so I'm still gonna bring it, especially to repeat last year's ear bleeding experiment [/quote] yep I'd be interested in A/Bing the Vintage with one of the Squires and a US P. (would that be A/B/Cing? )

[quote name='Tait' post='590693' date='Sep 5 2009, 02:55 PM']great! itll be at the SE bash then hopefully (hint hint )![/quote] will be!

Garethox bought my lights and smoke machine. He was very understanding about my need to finish my dissertation first, and made the pick up very easy. Would not hesitate to deal with again. Top banana!

I was unaware of the biscuit tradition, thanks for the heads up Yep will take lots of piccies, I imagine I will be the one grinning like a goon in every single pic . Does anyone else have a pic up that day? BTW no longer gonna go by train, it will be cheaper to buy a car!

[quote name='OldGit' post='589283' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:54 PM']Which September? [/quote] ROFL! 2 weeks time, booking the train ticket asap .

I will be picking it up Saturday 19th September!
