Soliloquy

I've used a Pitchblack for my 6 string basses with never a problem. It's my 2nd tuner in fact. It's also 'true bypass', which is something you don't mention. The Polytune is pants to be honest, not very accurate at all, and rubbish with a low B. I think it's supposed to be true bypass, but I didn't like it. The best, is the Turbotuner, but it's not readily available over here. It's true bypass too. Great reviews by the way.

I want to make a stencil to spray the logo onto the side of my Jaydee case. Does anyone have a largish copy of the logo that they can email me please ?

Just photocopy the pages and tape them together. Both my stands have bits that extend outwards, they're very cheap to buy. If you can't do that just practice playing while turning the pages. Fold the top corner of the 2nd page inwards to make page turning easy. Read through the pages beforehand, there may be a section towards the end where it's easier to turn that actually waiting to come to the end. Mark that section (in pencil) 'turn page'. If you're reading hired parts, then there will probably be hand written notes giving tips.

I had an Alembic SC model a few years back. I emailed Alembic with the serial number and they told me everything there was to know about the bass - the year it was made, who it was made for (the Basscentre), what woods etc. To be honest, the construction of these, as with Wal, Jaydee, Fodera etc is top notch. You'd be able to spot a fake pretty easily I think. The Epic like all Alembic's are great instruments. I think that the serial number suggests that it's a 1995 model.

To keep the thread going, here's my latest addition. It's a 1987 Series 3. It is in absolutely amazing condition....it's 24 years old ! It's also still got the Basscentre sticker on the back of the neck too. The sound is amazing. I used it on a session with a Jazz trombone player on Tuesday evening. He's a very picky player, but loved the way it sounded. It just goes to show the versatility of these instruments, they're not all 'slap and pop'.
