Had a problem here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/293818-sudden-loss-of-volume/"]http://basschat.co.u...loss-of-volume/[/url] So looked around the forums and chose Hotrod , formerly Wizard, and phoned Dave Walsh. Dave picked up the phone immediately, we chinwagged and he already guessed the problem before i could tell him, and so off it went in the post to Dave. I asked Dave to wind on a tad more output , which he did ( 9.25 k ) even though i suppose it wasnt that necessary. I gave him the neck meaurement at 7.88 so he chose 9.25 for the poorly bridge pickup. Basically it means i end up with less discrepancy between the bridge and neck pup heights, thats all I also asked for some extra low mids, as its what i love the most, and again, not strictly necessary as the jazz bridge pup has sufficient, but what the hell, a bit more wouldn't do any harm and since Dave had to re-wind the pup anyways, why not. He told me it was around a 1000 winds Well, the pup arrived in great time, and before i'd even paid for it. I thought he'd phone first and we could do payment on the blower, but no, he posted it out and so i needed to call him to make the payment. Stuck the pup back in, and ipso facto, lovely. As asked for, a tad more output though nothing massive, and a tad more low mids, again nothing massive. Dave had even stuck the pup in an old jazz plastic pup cover for extra protection in the post Praise indeed. Communication = Excellent. The job itself = excellent. Customer service / attitude = excellent Highly recommended if you ever have pickup problems Thanks Dave

That Entwhistle PBXN is a monster. I have one fitted in a J/P bass. The price is incredible too. Its a pickup i would check out. I didnt have to deepen the rout on my bass to fit it in

As kev B stated - love a bit of Living in the Past Also, this is a killer, with brilliant double bassister Danny Thompson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9gCN9-Jnfg

£150 for that piece of disintegrating kindling ? Who is that guy ..Bernard Manning's love child ?

Caught Hawkwind at the North London Edmonton Sundown in the 70's ( sadly long gone ) and a few of the free festivals in the 70's, which they always seem to manage to play no matter where they were

Perhaps Zon and their ilk should take a peek at the internet and read what customers are saying about them. I'd be horrified if it were my business and this thread came into my view. If i were in the market for a boutique, Zon would not be on my list. ACG would though, and a few others. Feedback from the Bass community is everything

You're a mine of info Dave. Never knew turner was from headington !! Havent seen Hawkwind since Lemmy left

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1477991981' post='3165711'] Now there's a tune to start the day, I might just pop out to the shed for a quick...something... Superb bass playing on both Gong and Mr. Hillage's outings, what a player. [/quote] Easy there tiger

Blimey guv , Nik Turner ....thats a name from my sordid youth The Hawkwind era of course, Dave

Not only Gong ...check out his monstrous bass lines on Steve Hillages's ' Fish Rising ' all bumm Some fine fat string tubbing on Aftaglid, for example. Listen to the whole track as it keeps changing [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC1ZqVAA7VM[/media]

There is very little morality in commercialism. Or rather ' Capitalism ' Its the system we live in, as do millions around the planet. Capitalism is based on greed . Well mostly, anyways There'll be a lot worse than that ebay seller in the world As someone already said .. Caveat Emptor. What else is there to say ?

Our lead git is by far the worst

You wont be disappointed - even at 1lb heavier than your Sad

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1475622428' post='3147520'] Just checked it on the bathroom scales .. cant speak for their accuracy though , but the bass came out at 4.3kg , around 9.4 Lbs [/quote]

Indeed gentleman .. i was expecting some poorly executed areas but there just wasn't any

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1477476784' post='3162433'] Good looking bass, bringing it to Witney on Sunday? [/quote] Nope

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1477475197' post='3162422'] Just out of interest, where did you buy yours from? Cheers, and happy NBD to you [/quote] Thanks Marc - i got the beastie from Thomann.

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1477423922' post='3162181'] Arghhhh, how could I forget Burlesque? Doh. [/quote] I don't know. Have yourself arrested.

PS some pics if anyone's interested http://basschat.co.uk/topic/292956-nbd-come-to-daddy/

I also got mine from Thomann - the natural swamp ash jobbie, just like Lobematt's but its a 4 banger Mine was virtually playable out of the box. All i did was raise the bridge pup a tad and lower the neck pup a tad. Everything was incredibly well setup. String height - bang on. Intonation - bang on. No sharp fret edges, no flaws in the varnish, nice heavy chrome bridge with option of thru body stringing. None of your flimsy tinny Fendery L shape bridges Fairly decent preamp with a nice Mid freq. sweep & boost Its just about unbeatable for the price. Nice work Sire

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1477342880' post='3161643'] Why comment on this thread then? [/quote] Because he had something to say on the subject. Unlike your post
