[attachment=80271:newsei.jpg] It's not quite ready for me yet - that's not the final neck (the final neck will have an unlined fingerboard) but hopefully this provides suitable Sei pr0n for the time being - it certainly has for me. [/quote] oh my !!!!!!!!

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1232628' date='May 16 2011, 12:47 AM']Ah, can't figure it. Your eq looks relatively 'flat' like. You might be trying too hard- maybe just one rig, and are your basses active? Maybe you have too much eq stages and they're stepping on each other, cancelling out some of your more useful signal?[/quote] hiya , yep both basses are active , but with the trace heads ive set them to passive and just adjudted the gain control so they dont overlaod, i ran the 4x10 through one head and the 2x10 and the horn through the other , it really sounded good untill the band started ! and its hard to be restrained when you know you are a tad queit !(no sound engineeer). then the ex bass player of the band saif to e there were certain bnotes he couldnt hear . mayb sour grapes. !!!!

my rig i used last night Zig the Rig (band nick name) 4x10,6x10,1 horn box , two smx 400 heads steroeo out from my effects pedal!! but was told some of my notes wernt cutting trough!!! any advice? Is this a problem with trace cabs in a rock band situation? zig

thanks for all youre lovely comments ill think ill hold the bass for a guy on here then to put it simply i wont gass for a new bass for at least 3 months ( wife happy ,basses happy /get played , new buyer happy, and im not not chasing a bass that maybe dont exsist for me!). i recently got a nice 5 string so ill have time to sit and play my basses !! once again kindest regards ziglet!

I think i know the answer to this one but i wanna put it out there..... selling / trading a bass (or anything bass related )on basschat (now/since i found it) seems simply = right, honest , interesting, gentalmanly and just blatanty fair. so morally im struglling,,,, i could sell a bass on ebay,or shop comission sale and get A. a quicker sale b. more money. or do i hold the bass and sell it to a nice bass player on here that wants it and hope that when i have done a bass that i want will become/still be available? answers as quick as you like people of the bass world!!!!!! kindest regards ziggy.

love them tooo, beutiful, and everytime you play them the love and connection you have with youre mum (even though she is in a far away place) will shine through and create beutiful music. exellent choices kindest regards. hope youre loss eases as these basses inspire you . ziggy.

Chuck heres some picys of the spector for you .

my usa 5 thinking of selling /trying to sell/ very confused!!!! not sure what to do???

[quote name='chuck_stones' post='1219182' date='May 3 2011, 09:02 PM']Yeah, it runs right the way up from top to tail. A rather beautiful addition which reminds me of some of the Ritter basses I've seen, like the last one on [url="http://www.ritter-instruments.com/available.php"]this[/url] page [/quote] had this bass for a while absolutely loved it (it made me buy my usa 5 string spector) the tone on this bass imho is better than my usa spectoR!! would buy it back again had to trade it to get my sei 4 , but this is the closest youll get to a. a usa spector and b. a doug wimboush model for under a grand , this is a very early chech spector and was advised that the through body wings and the neck etc are a bit speciel, i upgraded to gold knobs!!! enjoy!!!!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1210904' date='Apr 25 2011, 02:28 PM']Wow. That's gotta sound fierce. [/quote] yeah its a bit of a beast but the electrics seem to be a bit niosy which i gotto sort out!!! the dip swicth pops on the midrange when you change it over and there is alot of niose but it will be wicked when i get it sorted

hi guvnor, its from bulgaria ,its made by a guy called zvento, its a copy of al elrick jazz , its got nortstrands and an agy 3band with a vtc pot too!! and its got mid switch and passive active, its lovely but there are a couple of issues with the bass just small ones. im sorry i havent got bak to u regarding head but i got another deal im working on too so just looking at dough situation! the way the neck is in the pocket i rekon it will be hard to get it shimmed up. i goto go to the gallery soon anyways so ill take it in glad you are well mate youre Wal is stunning. ziggy.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='1210638' date='Apr 25 2011, 09:18 AM']If its buzzing at the bottom end then that would indicate not enough relief in the neck. The way I've always done it (which may or may not be correct) is that if I'm getting buzzing in the lower frets then I need to add more relief and if the higher frets are buzzing then I need to straighten the neck more. If it buzzes the full length of the neck then I just need to raise the action. If the bridge saddles bottom out, ie you can't lower them anymore but the action is still too high for you then that would be the time to shim the neck. i don't have any pics but I usually cut out a section of my worktop edging so that it fits in from the body end and just comes past the neck screws nearest the body and then cut out enough to let the screws miss it if that makes sense. The super step strings won't make a difference to the action of the bass other than you have to raise the bridge saddles to compensate for the lack of mass as the strings pass over the saddles. I think they're more for sound difference rather than helping you acheive lower action[/quote] yeah thank you guvnor , i just realised as well that shimmimng the neck may not work beacause of the shape of the neck /pocket, the top nut is weird = it has a nut and a zero fret, so i guess the nut is just a string guide and the zero fret is a zero fret , so im now thinking that the zero fret could mayb need relpacing or the string guide/nut changed and do away with the zero fret, ill take it to the boys down the gallery as i wanna give the bass a chance rather than moving it on!!!! cheers again ive added pics of relief at pickups and the side veiw of the nut . enjoy.
