What Neep said .. for me , comfortable/fast = thin. Whatever floats yer kayak

Old model Aria Pro SB series - my SB600 single pup passive had a 16.5mm string spacing at the bridge, though IIRC, maybe 1or2 mm wider than a jazz at the nut. Most Peaveys - my RS Sig is jazz size

The bridge pups on the Yamaha & Pedulla were terrific,

Bassbunny might be able to tell us, but i think he also used a P bass and a Vigier at some point. Montreaux is a great live DVD, but i'd also try and track down the live DVD at Hammersmith. Its a killer. Gets a nice sound out of his Kramer fretless too

It certainly is Paul Webb's bass. Top player ! Live, used an MM Ray at Montreaux and Athens, and a Kramer at Rocknight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRn_pKdKwkU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ9i15f5jXU

For the hard of thinking ( me ) it would be marvfabulous if an experienced vid guru actually video'd him/herself actually recording the vid track and sound track, through the whole process, with camera work looking at the PC as well, to see whats going on. Probably too much work in the end, but would be soooooo beneficial

I've given the pots to someone else now.

Freddy - hows about junking the neck, keeping the body, and see if you can a find a cheap non Satellite P neck on Evilbay or perhaps on here? I've also got a bag of pots you could use, free gratis. I only live a few miles from you, too

Satellites were known for warping necks, and are basically firewood, but at the price paid, no real damage done to the wallet. In my limited knowledge, they were built by Kawai Teisco, who built loads of nasty cheap basses for others who put their own names on the headstock. I had a neck thru Satellite P Bass, and would you believe it, that had a warped neck too. They were 80's i think The neck thru P ( exactly the same as my ex ) on ebay in the link below has been on sale there for ages now, as the seller thinks cos its old, some mug is gonna pay his outrageous price. The fact that its been on there for months means that folk may not be the suckers the seller thinks they are [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Satellite-original-fretless-bass-guitar-very-rare-and-with-hardcase-/290829725240?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43b6cd6e38"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43b6cd6e38[/url]

Those 6 sold at £7.50

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1373970876' post='2143640'] It has 1 bid. So someone made a bid. If it was himself, then it'd be stupid as it would cost him a hefty chunk in ebay fees. [/quote] Nah, he can get the fees back easy enough.

OK chaps - thanks for the advice. I'll avoid. Just have to run one channel on its own

Just wondering if its ok to use both channels of my Peavey IPR 1600 into one cab. I'd have to make up a 2 into 1 speakon cable ( IPR 1600 is not bridgeable according ing to Peavey ) Cab is single 15" 500 watt 8 ohm. IPR 1600 ratings appear to be 300w into 8ohm, 530w into 4 ohm per channel

Having previously used and gigged with active Mackie SRM's, i can vouch for them. We used the 450's and they were exceptional, clear and punchy, though now it appears there's a V2, and ours were the original version. They're selling some V2 B Stock in the link below with free delivery, a little bit over your budget, but they're worth it [url="http://www.whybuynew.co.uk/mackie-srm450v2-version-2-active-black.htm"]http://www.whybuynew...ctive-black.htm[/url]

Hi Tim - you could be right about just taking the Jack. Might experiment at the next gig ! I dont think my amp does 2 ohms, but then its a 2 channel output so it matters not a jot that i have a 15 500 watt 8 ohm cab on one channel, and a 2x10 500 watt 4 ohm cab on the other

Probably the definitive answer there Foxy. I'll struggle on with this until I can get me another 2x10 Jack, as i really like 'em

Yep its a Jack The 2x10 is way narrower and shallower than the 1x15, but slightly taller. I tried the 2x10 on top this evening after reading the posts, but the sound went a bit naughty. Vol, and bottom slightly disappeared. But then one cab, the 15, is 8 ohm and the Jack is 4 ohm, but i've already been told there wouldnt be much audible vol difference. But, as i keep making changes this evening, i'm starting to get a better sound, and though it will never be ideal due to the cab setup, its certainly improved, and i'm getting to the point where its more acceptable, ( to me ) bar finding another Jack, which is what i really want. One will turn up at some point i expect

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1356297278' post='1909003'] This will likely be quite a labour... so small adjustments all going the same way... rather than random cuts and boosts..as thta just confuses where you are with it all... especially as you will probably have to open a menu or sorts to recall where you set everything.. I had a variable pre like this insid a bass...was a nightmare to get to grips with...!! Have to say, dials are easier..even 4 band para's which this seems modelled on. [/quote] Couldnt agree more. I think the suggestion to buy a cheap behringer as the EQ section is looking more succulent ! I have just found that i can fully defeat the EQ section, which i was sure i couldnt before. I did this and heard next to no difference. How weird

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1356296124' post='1908986'] See if cutting as much as it can is audible at 31 hz, cutting stuff your cabs aren't making sound is always going to be a win. Use the sweep to find when the cut becomes audible. [/quote] Tried that Foxy. cut to -15 at 31hz, and then varied the cut from -15 to zero, and didnt really hear a difference. Next notch up from 31hz is 34hz, then 37hz, then 40hz, then 43hz, then 47hz and so on. Doesnt seem to have much effect till we get into the 40's
