[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='696470' date='Dec 30 2009, 05:01 PM']It's hideous.[/quote] No it isn't

I wouldn't say they particularly lack in sustain, but the maple they're made of doesn't seem as dense or hard as the usual stuff necks are made of (Rock maple?) but this helps them have a more mellow tone than you'd expect from an all maple instrument, and not so weighty. In my opinion, they work really nicely defretted and yeild an organic, woody tone. Lovely instruments, and an original shape that I dont think has really been improved on in headless bass terms. I'm down to one now

If the Midget can have one, why not the Compact? Just askin' cheers Jules

I've used a pin to do this too. Quite effective. I'm also of the opinion that it doesn't affect the sound if you've got a little dent in the dust cover.

2 U.S. Masters EP42s (fretted and fretless) 3 Hohner Jack Bass (2 defretted ones) Now down to 1

Gentle bump for this Saturday's gig. Bimp!

[quote name='3below' post='677175' date='Dec 7 2009, 08:52 PM']Dear Santa or wife I have a big one, I think I need more How does this sound (apart from loud) , where would (could) I use it other than for demolition jobs? Peavey CS3000 or QSC PLX (for the rich) power amp, big one followed by a spare 3 big ones for those larger than average venues - should drive 1500 watts rms into each pair of big ones (two each side of drummer). cost approx £550 + 4 x £675 = £3259 What pre amp should I use? Alex, what SPL will I get? Best wishes from a happy big one owner (possibly the first second hand owner?), just want three more of the same. [/quote] Do you play in a Motorhead tribute band?

Hi Folks for those who don't know, John Bramwell is the front man with I Am Kloot, Manchester 3-piece with about 6 albums behind them. This is part of a solo tour John is doing, and we get to support on this occasion. Check out I Am Kloot's stuff (www.iamkloot.com) great, soaring indie with that fantastic Manc twang. The New Moon is an acoustic psyche-pop duo with occasional guest flute and percussion players. It will be quite dear to get in (£10? or so) and doors should be around 8-8.30 say hello if you do make it! Cheers Jules

Sold Fatback my DHA VT-1 valvey overdrive, superquick payment and easy to communicate with. Cheers MBA

Got an MXR M80 di. All is fine and dandy! The packaging would survive the next world war. Nice job! Cheers Jules (MoonBassAlpha)
