  1. The strings I have for sale will do it! But seriously, I stopped using them because they were a bit tight for me at correct pitch so I am sure they would be happy with going down a tone.
  2. I used to gig a Mackie SRM450 top and a Mackie SRS1500 sub. This was WAY before the cool kids went all FRFR. I had GLORIOUS LF on stage and was constantly smiling when I went below my A string. The room was absolutely drowning in LF and it was a short lived experiment.
  3. When you get the moulds done, do it with an open mouth. Much better seal.
  4. It is ALWAYS appropriate to have a thread documenting a bass build.
  5. It looks like the preamps have finished. Seeing as this thread is all about lurve for preamps chock full of transformers (apparently) has any one got any experience with an API Tranzformer LX? http://www.apiaudio.com/product.php?id=143
  6. His son is 15. 15 year olds love lifting things and proving how strong they are. The price is right, it is local and when the time comes for the next thing then you will be able to get your money straight back out of it. THAT is how you do it.
  7. And given Thomann's return policy you send it back easy peasy if it is not for you. Before March the 29th.
  8. Len from Derby speaks the truth. A MM5 was my first 5 and I could not get the B to sit with the instrument. On reflection I only tried 2 types of strings and I could not have a chat with a string maker in 1990. Imagine the GAS I could have avoided.
  9. When I grow up I hope to be able to do this kind of stuff with wood. Sadly I am 53 and have no more growing up left.
  10. Something I want ..... come up..... etc £460
  11. Proper Old Skool. Vintage tone. Or something 16 track integrated HD recorder. + P+P
  12. Gigged but sound. Quite fancy it you know you do. Solid state bass combo. Power: 250 W RMS (max. 300 watts) Min output impadance: 4 ohm Speaker 1x15" custom Warwick Eminence + 1 inch hifi horn. Sound controls: Gain, Bass, Punch, Mid Freq., Mid Level, Attack, Treble, Master Clip LED diode. Defeatable Limiter. Low Boost, High Boost filters. Mute switch. Effects Loop. Headphones output. Tuner out. XLR DI out with switches: ground lift ( XLR ), Sub Sonic(sub harmonics only), DI pre/post (before/ after EQ)
  13. About time! Totally bargainous it was.
  14. I like that a lot. I have been thinking along the same lines for something else. I now know where to go.
  15. MTD, Sadowsky etc. From LONG experience of buying and selling the bottom line is that you can get your £ back out of it. We all think "it will be the one" - so often it is not. If you have bought the right bass for the right price 2nd hand you can simply shift it on and buy something else. There is an element of fun just changing things every 2 years. Judicious buying makes this easy peasy. FWIIW I have been through everything apart from Rickenbacker and have settled on Shuker.
  16. Focusrite Trakmaster preamp Yamaha sold. and Yamaha P5000s Power amp. Happy to split £90/£110. The power amp will be shipped for whatever it costs. No idea what that would be at the moment. Is it Class D lightness? No. Does it slay with brutal headroom and grunt? Yes. Is the price right? At this price it would be rude not to, frankly. Rack case not included.
