  1. yep, that other guy was trying to rip you off. I'll give you a very fair price for it, like $250
  2. Trace Elliot Elf amp, 1kg and matching 1 10" cab at 8kgs is as light as it gets. Sounds awesome too. Can add a second cab for larger gigs.
  3. I've seen a silicon neck rest that sits on any flat surface and keeps the neck upright.
  4. no, a ss amp will deliver around half power to an 8 Ohm impedence as compared to a 4 Ohm cab
  5. even if you could get the two cabs to work, each speaker in the 410 will get half the power of each 15" speaker. It's a crapshoot if this will sound good, but you won't be utilising all your power
  6. yeah, ain't gonna work with my ELF mini rig with one or both 1 10"s hehe
  7. I've been playing originals mostly since 1980. I've recorded on the ubiquitous Tascam Portastudio cassette recorders, and in some nice recording studios on 2" tape, to home recording on a pc at the moment. One thing has remained throughout all these methods. The minute, nay the SECOND you commit to a take, your brain has already come up with a slightly better bassline, but it won't let you know til the very next rehearsal
  8. yes, nothing beats playing originals. I love the feeling when you write a bassline that is more than roots-third-fifth-octave, though some or all of the aforementioned are used , of course. are you going to be recording anything soon? I'd like to hear you.
  9. and Stainless Steels over Nickels for brightness and clank
  10. Fart oo many 6 basses, 9 straps, at least. I've got a nice padded leather one for my Fender Am Std and am slowing buying the same strap with different colour upholstery backing for the others. I've recently installed the Diablo Twist Lock strap pins so once a strap is on it's staying on
  11. kind of an ambiguous question, depends on how long your songs are. we have 6:30 songs, and a 2:30 song with many in between. we have 28 songs , all original. We plan our sets accordingly. We have 2 songwriters so we try and alternate between them as they sing their own songs. Got some 3 band shows coming which I love, we do one set of 45 mins, easy peasy,we switch songs regularly according to loudness of gig. We go from all acoustic to rock band mode. Opps. forgot to say, 10 songs for a 45er
  12. a pic would help, but yes, raise the pickup on that side and / or lower the string height,as applicable. how old and what gauge strings are they? they can easily go dead if you pop em hard a lot. failing that, use a compressor, but that is not ideal. You want a naturally even volume across all strings.
  13. hire a large studio, most rehearsal places have one larger room, for bigger bands. Go all out, wear ear plugs of course.
  14. Elf 1 x 10" 16lbs can lift with my pinky 8 Ohm so u can use two , rated 300W each
  15. AND you can lift it with your pinky, how many bassists can say that? I have two of the 1 10" cabs with the Elf head, amazing kit.
  16. I'm thinking a full turn or two would suffice
  17. playing originals in a city whose original music scene is dying means we can't afford the expense, so we pretend to like loading amps in and out of gigs,cars, home.
  18. so happy for you mate, have a blast, and DON'T touch the brown acid, but it's your trip, man
  19. I've decided to make a stop animation video using Lego figurines. THEN Lego released THIS Lego Movie Maker kit
  20. RIP Paul Gotta say though, going out on your farewell tour is kind of fitting
  21. where do you work where you get no break at all in which to make an outside call? no lunch break? smoko break?
  22. weight is the most important specification for a buyer sight unseen. Lot's of (older) players aquire back, neck and shoulder problems, thus the importance of knowing it's weight
  23. my 2 cents. It's OK to ask questions about weight, hardware etc, but if you think it's way over or under priced, I feel a PM is best here. saying "Gorgeous bass, GLWTS" is fine too. No pointing out that your Jazz is better than the P for sale, it's not on. Coming in just to say you hate that bass or amp is not on either Nor is it OK to comment on an effects for sale ad "I don't use effects" lol, yet people do
  24. you wonder at their thought processes sometimes. I had a parcel delivered from interstate. Of COURSE they deliverred during the one hour I wasn't home. They contacted the sender to ask where he wants it deliverred, "errm to the same address". I went online and requested redelivery without signature. Three days later and sender gets a message they are returning it to him. He responds asking why, when we both asked for redelivery without signature. A WEEK later and they finally understood what "redelivery without signatue" meant. I was home when they redeliverred it, bastard didn't even knock on the door. Took two weeks.
