    In my little band the drummer has a click mixed in with the IEM feed via his own little wired set up next to the kit. Plus a strobe flashing. Seems to work just fine. It is mainly to standardise the speed and stop bickering over how fast/slow/spot on various songs are played. In the Bon Jovi tribute it is all a bit more important to the show - we use a click coordinated with backing tracks and, if the venue accommodates it, a back projection so the timing is essential. But in both scenarios it was a move for the better.

    I think it is a rite of passage thing. If you are a tinkerer then at some point the pull of the EB0 gets too strong. You may as well do it sooner rather than later and get it out of the way

    Line 6 Relay GD50. Everything works. Comes with 2 better quality leads from the transmitter/guitar as well as the original. Also one of those Levi leather transmitter pouches. Great bit of kit. I changed to one of those smaller Boss jobbies which is why I am now moving this on. £170 130 posted or £150 110 collected from SS7 in SE Essex

    I find my Orange Terror bass 500 is now surplus to requirements. You know all about these so I won't go into detail. Stupid loud, old school tone. EQ doesn't do much but if you like it then Wow. I did the valve swap but will include the originals in the case. This comes with a custom built exceptionally sturdy flight case, attenuator for the DI but I don't have a spare kettle lead at the moment. In the flight case it weighs 6.2kg. The fan is a bit noisy at home practice levels but then most of them are. The middle cage sometimes vibrates when it is sitting directly on top of a cab. - I made a half-arsed attempt at mitigating this by running a bead of mastic along the joins in question but it still does it a bit unless you sit the amp on top of something. Outside is not pristine, it has been gigged and used. Gain knob has been pushed very slightly inwards but still works - as does everything else. Price is £225 posted to UK mainland, £200 if you come and pick it up from SS7 in SE Essex. I thank you.

    Shame it wasn't for you Andy. GLWYS. Yes, flat bridge and pretty flat fretboard - can't imagine bowing this would be possible.

    Must be why they call it a bridge!

    I believe it is the model number as used in the Hondo catalogue. It is printed on that picture I embedded in the first post.

    I ended up with fretmeister's Tecamp Puma 300, which arrived today. Have to say it ticks all the boxes.

    I did all this too. On the plus side, they are cheap to buy initially, the usual upgrades (new pickup, Hipshot bridge) aren't punishingly expensive, the neck is (for me, anyway) really comfy and they are quite fun to play. And if, once the honeymoon period is over, you come to the realisation that it still sounds like mud and neck dives atrociously, you can return it to stock and sell off the bits to the neck person who gets besotted with the idea. As GAS goes it is fairly small beans to cure, really.

    I always wondered what the inspiration was behind the lyrics for 'Come Together' - now I know! He simply forgot the words

    Mum! Where have you been all this time?
  13. Paul S
    Thanks for your input, chaps. Maybe if one comes along for next to nothing I'll take a punt. If only to use as a template for having a lightweight body built for the neck, perhaps - an idea to file alongside all the other mad mod ideas I get from time to time .

    Bought a Tecamp Puma 300 from Paul in the most straightfroward of transactions. Good comms, promptly dispatched, arrived well packaged and exactly as described. Perfect!
  15. Paul S
    Something to do with GAS maybe?

    That's the great thing about bass shapes - it is all so very subjective. One man's icon is another man's eyesore. Me, I like Precision bass shaped basses. Or a nice double cutaway like a Washburn Scavenger or Hondo 1015. Can't abide those single cut jobs that look like a cartoon whale with an overbite.

    Another Quilter fan here. I bought it primarily as a back up to my Trace Elliot amp (and previously my Mesa Boogie) as it is so small and light but often find myself choosing it. It is very simple to use, sounds fab and ridiculously loud.

    Memory loss, dementia or just a stinky poo bass? @Bassassin is this by any chance one you have some info on, por favor?

    Every time I see one of these fellas on the internet: I go kind of gooey. I believe they are quite nice quality (Matsumoku then Samick?), medium scale, often with issues around the 3 point bridge. But does the weight vary? I've seen people say they weigh 10lbs and I've seen one ad saying under 8lbs? There was one on eBay recently but the guy reckoned it was 10lbs ish. If anyone has one could they please weigh it? Or if you had one and noted the weight? Gracias!

    I got mine secondhand on here.

    Might as well go out in style. My exit was a damp squib of a straight trade

    I recently re-acquired an acoustic bass and have just fitted it with La Bella white nylons to see what the fuss was about. Previously I had used black nylons for their general 'double-bass-esque thuddiness' but these whites, whilst still doing this, also retain a brightness that the black ones seem to lack. I am converted!

    Couple of times at gigs, few times at rehearsals. The worst time was forgetting how the start of 'I Fought The Law' went, which at that point I had been gigging for around 5 years. Complete blank until the first verse.

    Snoozers are losers Although, tbf, it has been for sale for the past month and I didn't spot it either. I am enjoying the Sigma, btw Andy.
