Case closed!

You know, the Santa Ana crowd. Disallowed to sell on here?

The Talkbass one is set up to capture most of our Anglo terms. 😉

Did you reshape the headstock?

Fantastic!!!

...and for me it was Sue Lawley on Nationwide interviewing one Dr Clitterhouse. I whizzed myself rotten over that one.

Some of the ones in my house at secondary school were well non-pc; I dare not repeat them here!!

Well done, lads. The earworm was successfully planted.

Suzi Quatro was once a member of that band, iirc.

Pissheads, pissheads, roly-poly pissheads....I can just see them! Looks good and + 1 to the tort 'guard, though the minty looks cool, too.

I don't own a car any more but this one was a blaster on the system! My Stars

I absolutely love them! For the money, they're great. As are Status Hotwires but Dunlops are my ebay click-chicks.

Keep playing, lad.

Going with the Uni-Pre, guys. Thx for advice

I nearly ordered a Wishbass......

Bacchus... if only they could wipe Brian.

Ahh.... just downloaded the spec for the Uni-Pre and it does have a sweep! I think this is one to consider.

I'd need some top end sparkle but really something to fatten out the rear J coil. I'd love a bit of frequency sweep but I don't think I'm going to get that on a 3-gang harness.

Frisco I can handle for a guitar's brand name, but BRIAN?? Guy at gig: 'Cool bass, mate. What make is it?' You: 'Err....it's a... Brian'.

So, I have this Levinson Blade B4 J-Bass, built in '91. I only play it at home but last year I hired it out and was at the sound-check. It went through an SVT Classic but, amp aside, I was surprised about how Old Skool active it sounded on a stage: it had a very prominent top end and seemed to lack some low end. Adjusting the trim pots made slight differences, usually to the lower mids and sometimes not for the better! The bass was never used in anger at the gig but it got me thinking about upgrading the pre-amp system. Levinson Blade tell me they have not updated that system so I'm going to swap it out for something like the John East Uni-Pre 3. Before I make my mind up, has anyone else got any recommendations? It has to be a three-gang job as there are only volume, blend and boost on the B4. Also, I recall that the Blade has a dummy coil to filter out interference so if I swap the blade circuit out the dummy will become redundant.

Link not working, dude.

They look like props from an old Dr Who series, circa Tom Baker. I'll pass.

Nearly always been because of control freakery by A.N. Other. And, FWIW, I've never been in a band where there was a leader, i.e., the band was his or hers.
