  1. Yes. There is no rhyme or reason to the whole thing, but the market loves the original paint.
  2. [quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1474554269' post='3138768'] The Jerry Scheff is a ltd edition run through Steve Barr at the dudepit some years ago [/quote] Wow, that takes me back!
  3. I have one of those and for years played it without the scratchplate (Jaco and all that) and I nearly binned the Chrome because "I just never use it". I am glad that I was too lazy to empty the drawer they were sitting in.
  4. The NV115 is not hilariously light like the helium filled cabsdujour but it is certainly not a heavy lifft.
  5. Heft. Girth. Weight. Authority. Headroom. All the current buzz words addressed in a 4U package
  6. The Demeter VTBP M 800 D does not have a fan. But it is double height and has a beefy heatsink. But it is still small in the grand scheme of things and no fan makes me very happy. Acoustic Image amps also do not have fans and the beefier ones happily go down to 2 Ohms.
  7. If so, feel free to roll in to the DB Bash in Derby on Oct the 2nd. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283463-double-bass-bash-derby-oct-2nd/
  8. I have been around the block with more basses than I care to admit to on a public forum. I have a Shuker now and have stopped looking at the Basses for Sale forum. It is an odd feeling, but I am getting used to it.
  9. I use a Qu 32 and it is proper lush. The only thing I miss about the Mackie DL1608 we had before is that the Mackie would let up to 10 iPads/iPods/iPhones control it so that there could be several of these on stage for individual monitor mixes. The Qu will only let me use 1 device. Is this it or am I missing something?
  10. invicta59. Zeller Bass, K&K pickup, GK amp and Fearless F112. Maybe also Tricky Audio 'Greenboy' cabs, and possibly a Tricky Audio builder (Guy) I am sure Guy is very cool and if he rolls in that will be very cool. However, if there are more Greenboy cabs to mess with that would be very cool as well
  11. [quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1474221678' post='3136345'] I may bring my Barefaced Bb2 cab to compare to Daves Greenboy as well. [/quote] I think a lot of us are going to be looking at the Greenboy.
  12. IIRC I was also about to ask you to make me something before you upped sticks. Welcome back I hope Canada is treating you well.

    Rewinding pickups

    You are very generous with your assumptions. I cannot even put a shelf up let alone bodge up a pickup winding jig I will get onto ebay.

    Rewinding pickups

    [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1474106386' post='3135626'] Would you be taking them to a professional rewinder? [/quote] You mean people do anything else????!!??!!! My guess was that 2nd hand ones would be the way to go, but it never hurts to ask
  15. [quote name='BassDeLune' timestamp='1474099034' post='3135549'] Ok thanks, that's interesting. Maybe I'll have a try on one again with that in mind. [/quote] If you are coming to the DB bash then I will put it in the car. Tell me if you are.

    Rewinding pickups

    I have just picked up a 2nd hand Harley Benton 335. The pickups might be lush, but they are probably not. Is there any point in rewinding them or should I just pick up a 2nd hand pair of decent pickups?
  17. [quote name='BassDeLune' timestamp='1473892054' post='3134003'] Thanks, TheRev. Promenade only have the NS in stock, and personally I don't really like them. More like an upright fretless than a DB, IMHO. [/quote] I used to have an NS which was very similar to an upright fretless. Then I jacked the bridge up and put DB strings on it. Now it does not sound like an upright fretless.
  18. The braided and honey ones bow fine and dandy. For obvious reasons the Rockabillys bow horribly.
  19. I do not need another bass so should not even be looking but that is as nicely a grained body as I have seen on a P. If I was looking for a P that would probably be it.
  20. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1473511392' post='3130879'] EW300 G2 is balanced/unbalanced XLR. (This was changed for combo jacks on G3). Im guessing an XLR is in use - the outputs on the desk are balanced XLRs - so it's going to be balanced XLR to XLR. [/quote] I would not be looking for phase issues. Totally not. Nope
  21. I must admit that I would be looking for some possibility of phase issues. Balaned output but mono jack going to some sort of balanced at the other end?
  22. If I was anywhere near you I would have this. Proper lush.
