  1. Alan dropped off his Spector Euro LX5 yesterday and now these two are related - half sisters actually. This box arrived from Moffat courtesy of my loverly post lady Jo: and the back of the Spector was looking like this: Inside the box? an ACG02 with 4 knob, Vol/blend/low pass filter/high pass filter. So there you go Alan! I'll go through the installation step by step in a min. Peter
  2. They're certainly stunning looking. If I had the money spare and if I didn't already have an inordinate number of basses I'd go for the blue one myself.
  3. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-STB-GT4-4-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Flamed-Blue_W0QQitemZ300290018748QQihZ020QQcategoryZ4713QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-STB-GT4-4-Strin...oQQcmdZViewItem[/url] They've got a red one and a GT5 up for grabs too. Didn't you just pay £220 for one Kev? Peter
  4. Tru oil dries to a harder finish more rapidly, eBay is your friend. Pedro
  5. Wow, while looking saw this. Didn't Kev just pay £220 for one? There's a red one and a GT5 too.

  6. I have a couple of 4 string basses that are considerably heavier than my 90 NT. I've never thought the weight was an issue at all to be honest, maybe some are heavier than others? Not a particularly helpful comment in the thread either methinks. Great basses, especially the earlier ones like this.
  7. If you've created a greater area of contact where the string goes over the saddle Al then you may be damping the string. Even a small change can do this. String wise I can't suggest a solution unless you drop a gauge. I find Ernie Ball's underrated but string choice is very personal.
  8. Take it easy fine fella and get mended.
  9. Cheers Pete much appreciated. Peter
  10. Well it's been suggested that the snow is fuelling GAS so buy this. Peter
  11. Very nice. I do love an ebony board. 35" scale? Or more? Go get it Russ
  12. Nice, does she want to share bass clef tattoos?
  13. Is this the same as this Rich: [url="http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.php?product_id=390&category_id=3#"]http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.ph...;category_id=3#[/url] It certainly looks very nice. (Caps lock a bit hard on the eyes) All the best with the sale. Peter
  14. Lomond? You a diver Anndra? Peter
  15. [quote]dear God!! where will it end?[/quote] ACG with an ACG01 pre? Then I'm biased
  16. Just a little: Peter
  17. The tone may be different but I doubt my ears would discern it. As soon as you fret a string they certainly wouldn't! I think there's a fair deal of hype around nuts to be honest. Both mine work fine. Peter
  18. I've just given up teaching D&T and I'd go for C. Different and ascetically interesting. What was your inspiration for this shape? You'll be asked that of course so wise to have an answer even if you make it up afterwards B is too conventional although I love the horn sweep through the body. A too is not too dissimilar to existing designs. Peter
  19. The Dockyard! I know, it's a Naval Base nowadays. Peter
  20. It looks a beauty. I love mine and would recommend it strongly as an extremely well built bass that takes no prisoners in the tone department (a good thing imo). Comfortable with great necks too. There were some being sold cheaply a while back but now that has dried up you'll struggle to get a new one for under £1k. So £600 sounds good to me for a beautiful birdseye finish. Peter
  21. Best person to ask is Alan who has owned a Wal and probably give you some ideas. Peter
  22. Isn't there a Warwick employee on the Warwick forum? Maybe he should have gone there for advice. John, you are EXACTLY the sort of bloke Warwick SHOULD be employing! Peter
  23. Surface scratching It looks more like it's had a huge force appled to the control area which has resulted in a considerable crack into the control cavity.
  24. Any of you guys know of a drummer who may be interested in making it to Newby Bridge? Peter
