Oh I meant to say, if you buy from The Gallery, Martin will pre-solder everything for you, if you ask nicely!

I installed one in the bass I built for our Zapp. You have to double check some of the colours on the wires coz they look similar. Also, you need to buy a couple of 1-meg resistors to solder to the mid-switch to lessed the pop that you get whilst switching. Why they don't include these I don't know. Apart from that, its simple. A great preamp aswell. Although watch the bass boost - you don't need much!

I had to take it out of the huge sleeve it came in as it made my cabs look tiny!

Maybe mine was faulty? Dunno. Perhaps its my bass! You have got some cool ones - might have something to do with it! Anyway just swapped it for a Mesa Boogie Titan V12. Its got the low end grunt of the DB plus tons of clarity.

I just returned my DB750 to the Gallery for this! I used the DB twice and just wasn't happy with the woolly sound and lack of clarity. I guess I just preferred my GK1001. Anyway, still got the GK, but wanted a high power head to replace the Aguilar. It had to go down to 2-ohms as I have three DB112 cabs totalling 2.6ohms. The Mesa fits the bill, and what a sound! Its like the DB750 but with some clarity thrown in. Plus two identical footswitchable channels and overdrive makes this extremely versatile. Recommended! Are there any other MB users out there?

I quite liked the look of www.rockinn.co.jp, but their banner states "sorry, we can only accept orders from Japan only". I need a white Japanese jazz bass real badly![/quote] I had it confirmed yesterday by Jeff at Ishibashi that they no longer ship to UK. That goes for accessories aswell. I just placed my order with Malcolm at the guitar emporium, and I'm glad I did. There is a price reduction on the Jap range, plus I also negotiated the price down a bit more.

I'm using three DB112's (similar to the GS's) with a DB750 head. I guess one on its own will have its limitations, but certainly three will blow away a 4x10!! I'd suggest you go for two, funds permitting.

That be the one. Although the internal dims are quite a bit bigger than the head.

I remember a thread ages back where someone had a soft zipped case (not a rack bag) for his GK1001. I remember it was around £25 and there was a link to the website, but do you think I can remember!! It looked like the Pro-Tec stuff. Thought it was Soundslive, but can't fine anything. Any ideas? Cheers

Hi, The 5-string bass I made in my avatar has a 40CS (similar to the DC) at the bridge end, and a 40P5 at the neck. It's a great combination in my opinion. You can't go wrong with EMG. They are dead quiet and have a fantastic range. Particularly the P5. Cheers Ian

I can make you a body to your specification. Check out zapps P/J

[quote name='Jonny Walker' post='128965' date='Jan 27 2008, 10:29 PM']Very Nice! Why do you prefure the Headless?[/quote] In my opinion they balance so well. And I guess thats even more important being a sixer. I had a Thumb 5 that was so top heavy it was almost unplayable! Headless basses rule!
