At least it's arrived. Hopefully the issue will be resolved rapidly. Congrats on the new amp.

Anyone else checking back every now and again for an update?

Why is eyekia now ickea?

SKB FB4. It's the only case I found that you could shake and the bass doesn't move. Not the cheapest option but I tried a good few before discovering them.

Yes indeed. A lot of love on here for those. The guy behind them retired but they are now manufactured down near me by Eternal Guitars. They are a hotter version of a vintage Precision pickup.

Could be VD, in which case it's probably a load of old clap.

From top to bottom it's: Furman power conditioner Korg tuner DBX stereo graphic TT-800 main TT-800 spare The graphic was included because the Bass 400 amps had a graphic eq on them, so I thought to include one (each channel is in the fx loop of an amp) - it's not been used yet. In the back of the rack is a Mike Hill splitter/isolator, so the input is on the tuner, from there to the Mike Hill unit and from there to each of the TT-800s.

They are great, but that's not a rig, it's a trip hazard! 🙂

Thank you. Yes, I'm absolutely delighted with it.

Usual set-up. Sounded epic (to me anyway).

Yes. I remember seeing that.

I tolerate the fact that, as a fingerstyle player, the pickup on a Precision doesn't really come up quite high enough to get a really good anchor for my thumb, without being too close to the strings. It works ok, but not perfect.

The sunburst with maple neck? It's a lovely bass. I'm not usually a maple neck type of guy but really like it. Too many Precisions. Interesting concept. 🙂

Hi Maybe check out the Bass Bash in Addlestone (look in the Events forum for details). Quite a few like-minded souls, and a good amount of gear to have a go on.

Very little 'probably' about it, but I'm certain Dave knows that. Hope the amp is everything you want. Your patience deserves a fitting reward.

These guys produce some very interesting videos. Here is one relevant to your situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFliN9F_MNY&ab_channel=ALPHASOUND

I started on violin at age 4 but moved to piano at 6 and played until I was about 13/14. The piano is a great background as you learn theory and harmony. I am certain that it helps me as a bass player. I played church organ for a few years and Bach used bass brilliantly. All helps.

Not every seller fully identifies the model but the Japanese basses that have the US suffix to their designation are the ones to go for. Superb instruments.

Fascinating stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23q3zoKiuGs&ab_channel=ALPHASOUND

Just sold an EUB to John. Didn't get much of a chance to chat, but will be following the project to convert it to a 5 string with great interest. Nice guy and a pleasure to deal with.

You might have an entire cornucopia of them.

Is the red Precision (type) a slab body?
