It is about a quarter of the way into the 1st fret and only feelable if you get in there with your nails. Any other marks are only reflections or shockingly poor polishing. It is in very very good nick. cos I am sad like that. -

5 string. 34" scale. Lush it is. I will do some pics later but am sitting outside my daughter's singing lesson so cannot do that now. Strung with black tapewounds, but there will be several sets of status rounwounds in with it. Warwick Steinberger gig bag cos the original was poor. I do not NEED to sell so it will sit at this price and I will continue to enjoy it while I have it.

If I knew what I was doing then I would have put it somewhere where the G would run straight after the nut.

The A unit happened to sit in the right place using and original screw hole so I bodged the rest around that one.

No. The pickup seems to be fine, but the G+D side is quieter than the B+E+D side. I will raise it up to see what difference that makes. The strings are old spare until I get it working properly. It took about 2 hours, and I am the bodgiest of the bodgers and it was OK. String spacing is a bit tight, but nothing I cannot work with. Good times!

Yes please. PP? -
I have specced one up to use in Church and tried one out in situ. The room is a 450 seater and during set up we gave it some beans to see what happened. It got pretty loud! I am still waiting for delivery so cannot comment definitively, but it would certainly be worth your hiring one to see how it works for you. It is hassle free to rig and packs down easily. I have friend in Cardiff who you could hire. He runs his with a loud soul band with 4 piece horn section having come from the standard RCF on poles tyoe of set up and is more than happy.

Lush beyond!

You can never have too much headroom. Is there anything about the Puma you dislike? If the rig works, don't fix it. If you need something to sweeten a piezo pick up buy an fdeck preamp.

The woodwork is done, including some heavy chambering. It is now going to Paul Nield (retro169 on Facebook) for an Oly White reliced finish, including matching headstock. I am getting a decal made which will read something along the lines of Ffendar Jass in a Fender script. This will be absolutely hilarious if you are a Welsh speaking musician from North Wales, but probably less so if you are not.

Me too. I have a tragic record of selling and then buying back. I have done this with a Streamliner and am now wondering about selling it again. It is a disease.

Anyone here playing a paulownia bodied bass?

Korg CX3 with MKII (Hammond copy) software with heavy duty flight-case. [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]Playing a vintage Hammond organ isn't just about a sound; it's about a feel - it's about being engaged with the instrument. It's like playing a stand-up bass. You gotta dance with it a little. That's why so many keyboardists believe that even the best modeled tone wheel organs have fallen just a little short of the mark. But not the Korg CX3! The unique sound AND feel of the Hammond organ is reborn in the CX3. Not only is the modeling technology dead-on real - so real you'd be frightened if you weren't digging it so much - the keyboard action and response is astounding. Even the controls are just right![/size][/font] [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]The Korg CX3 modeled tone wheel organ is so close to the real thing it's scary. At less than a tenth the weight of the classic original (yes, the chiropractic association is unhappy about it), you'll want to get to the gig even earlier to play your CX3. State-of-the-art modeling technology delivers the ultimate Hammond experience. Hearing it isn't enough, you have to play the CX3 to believe it. Not only is the action right, the keyboard response is right on. It's time to practice those windmill sweeps and falls![/size][/font] [b]Korg CX3 Modeled Tone Wheel Organ Features:[/b][list] [*]128 possible programs for immediate use [*]Drawbars - the backbone of the organ sound [*]Split function lets you use two sounds simultaneously [*]Look, Feel, Layout of a real organ [*]Analog Outputs: 2 analog unbalanced [*]MIDI In, Out, Thru [*]Headphone out [/list]

I have a Ryder P bass. I did not love the headstock so I bought a JIm Deacon P on here for £50 cos it had a nice neck. I swapped necks and flogged the other bits so that the whole excercise was cost neutral. I do not use it because I do not really like a P nut width (as I discovered after buying it) but I hate having things lying around. I bough a Wilikinson 4+1 kit to turn a 4 string into a 5 string years ago and have been keeping it for the right occasion. I mounted it all yesterday and the bass seems quite happy being a 5. Sadly the Wilikinson bridge means I would have to put a shim the size of a brick under the neck so that will come off. I have a spare machine head which will go onto the lower edge of the headstock and I have bought 5 individual chrome bridge units (£7.92 inc postage!) because that is the only way I can see of getting close to 15mm spacing at the moment. There is a one piece bridge out there but that is in black and that would be wrong. The Wilikinson nut is fine. Total outlay including bass = £95 + a new set of stings.

You are correct, I am comparing them to Spiro weichs.

The module in the Berg IP is not a Powersoft one. If only IP came in neo!

Snarky Puppy UK tour - anyone else going?
Owen replied to kevin_lindsay's topic in General Discussion
I have 4 tickets to see them in Manchester on May 13th if anyone wants them. £16.50 each. I bought them but found out that I am going with work after I had bought them, -
When technique is subservient to the music. That was very nice indeed.
-
They are for Tuesday, May 13th at Band on the wall in Manchester. -
Obv £16.50 each!
-
I bought four of these, but now cannot use them. £16.50 is their face value. I will post for free

Tiltback/monitor form factor as well? If this sounds like a shopping list, it is because it is a shopping list.
