    [quote name='charic' post='1241293' date='May 23 2011, 10:38 AM']Don't follow sorry[/quote] Just suggesting that ACG made you think TVR because they were both Three-Letter Acronyms. I have to go with BigRedX on this one though. No car could even come close to my Hondo Precision copy.

    [quote name='charic' post='1241269' date='May 23 2011, 10:17 AM']For some reason the first car that comes to mind for my ACG is a TVR... No idea why.[/quote] TLA?

    IBTL Nah, just kidding. For the second question, I chose "I know some theory and I wish I knew a lot more", but it's a very subjective answer. Compared to many (probably most, to be honest) I know loads of theory, so they'd probably put me in the top bracket, but I'm [i]aware[/i] of the reams and reams of advanced stuff I've barely scraped the surface of, so I can't in all conscience put myself at the top.

    These guys are the UK distributors and repairers for PJB: [url="http://www.synergydistribution.co.uk/Contact_Us.html"]Synergy[/url]. If you haven't been in touch with them yet, do it. They were excellent when I had a problem with my Super Flightcase earlier in the year. Collected, sorted and returned within a few days.

    [quote name='KiOgon' post='1235424' date='May 18 2011, 11:17 AM']Edit: It's been around before - I don't know if it's the same seller or not [/quote] It's not cropped up before on my saved search of "local basses". Indeed, on closer inspection of the pictures the neck pocket looks like a bit of a Friday-afternoon job, with probably a badly-positioned Badass. Ho hum. There aren't many bass-players round here (out in the sticks) though, so I'm surprised I haven't seen it out and about in the area.

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1979-Fender-Precision-Bass-USA-original-/130521587075"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1979-Fender-Precisio...l-/130521587075[/url] I'm assuming it's real. Looks nice, and it's my year of birth. If I wasn't trying to move house (with all the associated costs therein), I'd be having a look at that. Given that it's from round here, I'd imagine Howard the Bass Doc may have come across it at some point over the last 30 years?
  12. BottomEndian
    Not quite the same thing, but the thread title put me in mind of Howard the Bass Doc's story of a (presumably non-bass-playing) visitor to his old shop. Admiring a sunburst bass hanging on the wall, said visitor proclaimed, "I love the way the colour just... f***s off."

    [quote name='Faithless' post='1229711' date='May 13 2011, 10:06 AM']I think there's much more involved into fretless making process than leaving frets out..[/quote] Well, yes... assuming you're going unlined you [i]also[/i] have to remember not to cut the fret-slots.

    Oooh, there's a lot of winking going on in here. I love a good backroom conspiracy. EDIT to add...

    Steve bought a cab from me. An absolute pleasure. Smooth as a baby's bum. A heartily recommended guy to deal with.

    Personally, I like it on some of my basses and can't stand it on others. It's just a case of how it fits in with the general sound of the instrument. I've always encouraged a fair bit on StingRays (and their kin); it just seems to work. I've been listening to a lot of Prefab Sprout recently, and I've noticed that there's a shedload of buzz, clack and rattle from the bass on a lot of the tracks on [i]Steve McQueen[/i] (guessing by ear, I'd say there's a mixture of Precision and Ray on that album). Sounds frigging class, too.

    SOLD pending the usual.

    [b]***SOLD*** ***SOLD*** ***SOLD***[/b] Nice, smooth-sounding little cab. Totally usurped by my acquisition of a PJB combo... and my wife keeps asking me when I'm selling that black box I don't use any more, so it's time to say goodbye to it. It's about a year old, and it's only had light use at home and rehearsal. Here's the general TC spiel: [quote]Our RS112 is a new high quality compact cabinet in the RS bass range. RS112 delivers TC tone in a small and compact package. But don't let the tight design fool you, RS112 handles 200 watts of power and the 12" driver and 1" tweeter is the perfect choice for a full toned sound anywhere spaces comes at a premium. As with all of the RS range, the 12" driver and tweeter (with rear HF adjustment) are custom made by the Eminence and offer superior quality and power. RS112 is ideal as a standalone cabinet for smaller gigs and because it maintains the RS stackability, it can slot in with other RS cabinets to bolster your sound and scale up you system. The portability of RS112 is blatantly obvious, with its 30 lbs weight, small size and top placed handle it is a virtual grab'n go cab.[/quote] Dimensions are (apparently) W x H x D = 356 x 356 x 498mm, with a weight of 14 kg (just under 31 lb). It's an 8-ohm cab, rated to 200W. Generally in great condition, with just a few very light scuffs (you can a couple of small scratches along the back in the pictures) and one absolute peach of a scrape off a rear corner (bottom-right as you look at the back of the cab). The wall on my staircase fared much worse from the encounter. Going rate new seems to be £329. Given the corner scuff and the increasingly intense marital glaring, I'll say [b][s]£200 delivered in the UK[/s] ***SOLD***[/b]. Yes, I've got cream carpets and children. I'm a masochist.

    [quote name='Chris2112' post='1224379' date='May 8 2011, 07:10 PM']I'm planning on getting the payment in for a fretless ACG... ...will have a piezo bridge and a single magnetic pickup in the bridge position for that awesome burpy sound.[/quote] Yes, yes, yes, YES, YES and a thousand times YES. Fretless + piezo + filter preamp = hot fretless sex.

    [quote name='Scoop' post='1222122' date='May 6 2011, 12:11 PM']Aye, a lot better than I do that's for sure. [/quote] Pah! Nonsense! I'll be delighted if I look half as good as you when [b]I[/b] reach 76.
