[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1488065986' post='3245628'] It's not a stupid idea, and it's something I've looked into myself (I have a Connex amp module and SMPS that I picked up a couple of years ago waiting to be put to use). But to be really effective for bass amp use you would need to sort out cooling fans and some sort of limiter, and ideally an HPF on the input too. And the price works out at a point where you could pick up a fairly nice rack power amp secondhand. [/quote] Yeah, I guess that making it all up will tot up the price. They have some plate amps which come all set up. I have tried one on a BF FR and it certainly delivered. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1488104258' post='3245781'] Alien did that for another BassChatter and the results were very good. It was a while ago and I've certainly thought about doing that with one of their latest gen amplifiers that from a geek perspective are ace! [/quote] I remember that amp and it is what was kind of making me think out loud. The Hypex PSC2.400 which features 4 fully programmable DSP memories are 275 Euros excl Vat. They are discontinued. Someone tell me why I should not do this.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1488020072' post='3245051'][list] [*]Metalflake gold body [/list] [/quote] YEEEEESSSSSSSS! Don't get me wrong, the other stuff is all well and good but metalflake is proper lush. Tell me it will have a matching headstock! Please!
-
Twin strap buttons on the bottom. Some day all basses will be like this (apart from offset ones, obvioulsy).
-
It is proper lush though! -
I will take that as a no then. I am genuinely interested in whether this is a stupid idea or not.

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1487987254' post='3244906'] I'm very aware! What's the scale length? [/quote] Imagine reading a post about an item you want to sell and then forgetting to answer. The scale length is 22 3/4 inches. Thanks. [quote name='W1_Pro' timestamp='1487988794' post='3244908'] That is truly lovely. GLWTS. [/quote] A thing of beauty is a joy forever. -
I had to step outside and have a word with myself about the fact that I do not play 4 strings because I was very close to buying this!
-
[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1487532969' post='3240570'] I bought it for a rack rig idea that I kind of lost interest in. Don't judge me, we've all done it. [/quote] Aint that the truth!

Trades? What, like a Lull PT4? Not really thinking of trades, but thanks for asking. I have come to the unexpected position of having all I want. I never thought I would see the day. It is Walnut burl. IIRC!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1487857504' post='3243587'] Here. Here's your solution. http://youtu.be/HV66fWWzs2c [/quote] I am not generally a fan of the metal Balalika scene, but that is kind of floating my boat.

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1487800694' post='3243130'] Seriously thinking about this... [/quote] Want it you know you do.

If one of the BCers who are handy with a soldering iron were to bodge a Hypex module into a 1U box we would all buy one. Obviously I have no idea what I am talking about, but the idea is lovely.

It is a PT4. I could be very happy with a PT5 like that.

£650 Pete made me this 5 string Bass Uke some time ago. It is a thing of joy but I am just not using it qand could usefully put the money into a bass guitar I am having extensive work done on at the moment. Pete has said that he will never make another. It is tuned BEADG. I would like £900 for it. I am happy to courier at cost. Yes, the shiny things on the neck are LEDs. Everyone needs a bit of glamour now and again. It has the one vol knob and a tone control on the control plate that needs a screwdriver. It seemed a shame to put more knobs on the front than needed. It has all the hallmarks of a Howlett but with lower notes. It has a Fishman piezo and an East Piezo buffer pre. It sounds like this https://soundcloud.c...ns/howlett-demo Here are some other examples of his work https://www.google.c...YnZAywQ_AUICSgE

I will then go and see if I can get it in 5. I will then put it on my ever shrinking GAS list. That is proper lush.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1487454993' post='3239994'] it is odd isn't it - I wonder how influenced we are by American forums and press that the US versions of our luthiers are revered but ours less so. Some of it is the size of marked I guess - but if I compared Sei to Fodera, or overwater to sadowsky would I find a massive difference in the end product? [/quote] We are all guilty of shopping withour eyes instead of our ears. I as much as anyone. I am happier than I have ever been since moving to five strings, but I still fancy trying a recent Sadowsky 5.

Let's be honest, chrome grilles bring the glam. -
Make sure that you factor in your behind the bridge saddle length and your behind the nut length. I did not and it got expensive.

That is a fine looking axe.

I used a Chevin A3000 (bridged at 3Kw into 8 ohms) into and Eden 410xlt when I was younger. Obv I never turned it up full, but the headroom, low frequency extension and general grunt was a thing of joy. What a machine.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487077493' post='3236782'] Imagine a Fender Precision battered to within an inch of total destruction, but still (just) playable. [/quote] I can dig that.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487075498' post='3236755'] That along with the Baz Extravaganza Punk Rock Bass are the only Fender-esque instruments I'd consider playing. [/quote] <rushed off to google a Baz Extravaganza Punk Rock Bass but found nothing>
