Protium

Backup bass, strings, gaffa tape

The Gotoh 203 is a decent bridge too, styled more like a trad. Fender but with slots to stop the saddles sliding about.

[quote name='OldGit' post='295746' date='Sep 30 2008, 06:48 PM']Nah they had the bigger Vox amps and they were miced up [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUXwnEWEnE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUXwnEWEnE[/url] However it didn't really matter as the audience was screaming at them through a million watts of throat[/quote] And it's well known that a throat watt is at least 3 times as loud as a watt

[quote name='thumbo' post='294328' date='Sep 29 2008, 09:19 AM']In reference to Nick Oliveri, he just uses a 70's Ampeg V4 cranked up with a P-Bass that's had the volume pot taken out, going straight into an Ernie Ball volume pedal. From what I gather, that's pretty much all he's ever used.[/quote] And tuned down to C, that affects the tone substantially too.

Gona email him about the pickup too

[quote name='jmanfunk' post='288797' date='Sep 21 2008, 09:45 PM'][/quote] Off topic sorry: Anyone know what type of bridge that is?

I'm not a fan of single 15" speakers. I certainly wouldn't go for the Laney 115 as the frequency range is only 35-800Hz. The Marshall 115 at least has a HF horn which will increase that somewhat although I can't find any specs atm. A 210 or 410 is what I'd go for

Isn't the paint a little bit too white for a 44 year old guitar?

Zero watts DI box

Talking of bad customer service - Don't expect to get any useful info from emailing Orange (amps) customer services.

Cheers, it's a terrific bass - the Bartolini electronics give a huge sound. The neck is super fast and makes a jazz look fat Recently had the frets dressed as they were showing some wear - Ged Green did an awesome job on it - highly recommended: [url="http://www.gedgreen.co.uk/"]http://www.gedgreen.co.uk/[/url]

My main bass: 1995 Pedulla Rapture

Self built P-bass

Was good apart from the drum kick pedal falling apart repeatedly, the bass amp not working (another reason not to use Hartke sh*te), massive bass feedback from the monitors and being forced to play first rather than main support. Nothing beats using your own equipment, but one of the other bands (who should probably should be called "you can use the most expensive equipment in the world but it still won't make you good") insisted on using their own kit which took up 20 minutes of stage time swapping it over - then the kick pedal broke when we used it...

Bump - Tonight!

[quote name='noelk27' post='291922' date='Sep 25 2008, 04:12 PM']Well, there are substantial differences between Paul Tutmarc’s electronic bass fiddle and Leo Fender’s precision bass – not least that Tutmarc’s instrument was based on a 30 1/2” scale length and used an inferior gauge of string - both of these design criteria affecting the instruments range, and making it more comparable to a baritone guitar than a bass. The registrations for the developments and inventions that Fender made are clearly the basis for the modern electric bass, and Fender's was certainly the first mass-produced instrument.[/quote] There are substantial differences between a Fender P and Jean Baudin's 4million string bass but they're both still bass guitars. Plus I wasn't disputing the fact that it was the first mass-produced bass, just that it wasn't the "first" electric, fretted bass

Anyone with a 1930's Audiovox electric bass? Fender would probably pay [u]anything[/u] for these to dispose of them and be the "inventor" of the electric bass ha ha

[quote name='neepheid' post='290247' date='Sep 23 2008, 07:03 PM']It's even worse when you throw something out, then find you need it. It's why you should never have any of these good intentioned clear outs, they always come back and bite your posterior.[/quote] 123 - small electronics parts like throwing out used components and then not having any left when you need them

Allegedly Emsley designed these amps yet (after 4 emails of nonsense/avoiding the question) gives out duff info about them... For future reference: Connecting an extension speaker will CUT power to the internal speaker, leading me to believe that you can connect a 4ohm cabinet to this output. (I tested with an 8ohm since that's all I have handy atm) RH
