Well I would.................. be happy if she showed me her chops.

The manual should say, maybe even the labelling on the sockets - otherwise assume parallel. Only some Eden amps have the speaker outs in series for some strange reason.

OMG that sure is pretty. Looks like it was played once, dropped once, put away and forgotten about. Sure is expensive as well.

Why dont you read the sticky?

All I know is this: If Jimi had gone to school they would have told him not to be so stupid and play the f***ing thing properly.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='117457' date='Jan 9 2008, 10:05 PM']Oh yeah. Just strapped on the Precision and lost myself....Good Style. I want a Pino Precision now.[/quote] It wont sound the same. The funk is in the fingers.

I would try the Status hotwire halfs - order from [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/carts3/frames/frame1.htm"]http://www.status-graphite.com/status/cart...ames/frame1.htm[/url]

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='116898' date='Jan 9 2008, 11:52 AM']A friend of mine once bet his band that he could play a whole gig with his bass detuned a semitone and that no one in the audience would notice. He won his bet - the RAF audience thought the gig was great even though the bass was horribly out of key all night. (Maybe he was out of key every gig? )[/quote] Or he had a sh*t sound that was an indistinct low frequency rumble.

My bum notes are much more audiable now I have got better gear

I'm not an ebay expert but has the seller been active on ebay since. If there is a genuine problem he wont have been active.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='115358' date='Jan 7 2008, 12:24 PM']Then you would be wrong as numerous threads on here have said.[/quote] [quote name='Raggy' post='115365' date='Jan 7 2008, 12:34 PM']Want to elaborate?[/quote] There are a couple of speaker gurus on here that have explained it all in the previous threads - maybe someone should write up a wiki on it so they dont have to repeat it. I think it is to do with the human ear not being very sensitive to low frequencies and it is actually the harmonics that we hear when listening to low bass - so you dont need a cab that goes down to 42Hz (the fundamental frequency of a bottom E). Plus all the frequency response quoted by most cab makers is pants. From my own experience I got more low end from 2 Peavey 2x10's than I did from a 2x10/1x15. Plus mixing different sized speakers has unwanted sonic side effects - I think it is called comb filtering where the phase outputs from the different sized drivers interact to reinforce or cancel sound on a horizontal plane. This will manifest if you walk around when you are playing and hear different volume depending on where you stand in relation to your rig. This might all be bollocks mind. Try doing a search on comb filter.

The other problem with playing around the beat is not taking the drummer with you as this usually speeds up or slows down the whole thing.

I nearly had it.

When I went to University it was gonna get you a good job cos hardly anyone went - I was the first to go in my family. Now everyone goes to University and you can get a degree in bass guitar. The stuff that really gets on my tits though is all the ads on telly for IT training. All the big IT companies - and I work for one - are doing loads of work offshore. That Golden Goose has been well and truly stuffed - not that you would know it from the ads.

nice collection.

could do a lot worse than this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10792"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10792[/url]

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='115396' date='Jan 7 2008, 01:12 PM']On the other hand, for THIS [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140195976737&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=004[/url] you should consider going close to £200.[/quote] Looks like a proper one - shame the divot selling it does not know how to string it.

Try lots of basses. Buy the one you like best. If you are shopping in London go to the Gallery.

Then you would be wrong as numerous threads on here have said.

But it wont affect your headroom - thats a function of the master volume. If you have an output of x and gain of y, and your hot bass has an output of x*2 and you set the gain to y/2 the result is the same. You probably do need more watts to get some real headroom but not cos of the hot bass.
