you missed a great gig!

Looks like mahogany to me

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1456925263' post='2993574'] I've played a ton of Alembics, Ken Smiths, etc that totally dispel this idea ... [/quote] I'm not saying that heavyweight = cheap...... All I'm saying is that weight probably does not reflect the price of a bass but, in my experience, cheaper basses do tend to be heavier than perhaps is comfortable.

[quote name='JohnFitzgerald' timestamp='1456923823' post='2993547'] I've been most used to cheapies being built from wood which was a bit flyweight. [/quote] Really? I've always thought cheap = heavyweight.... My old Kay from 79/80 weighed a ton

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1456492437' post='2989577'] I don't want a funeral... I want to be fly tipped in a hedge down the side of the M6... [/quote] I want to be pickled in a jar of formaldehyde and stood in the corner, surveying my universe.

Basschat has some wonderful members. While trying to wire up the PSU on my new pedal board I posted a thread hoping to find sources for various cables. One of the cables required was a short 2.1mm right angle to female cable to convert a straight 2.1 on a Trex current doubler cable. Dave came to my rescue and made this tiny cable - it must only be 3" long but it is EXACTLY what I needed and fits PERFECTLY. Dave - I would recommend you to all my friends without hesitation! :-)

Or you could just leave the bushes in and fit some new tuner pegs For lightweight have you checked Gotoh Resolites? I prefer them. Edit: They're available in nickel finish so after a while will take on the same patina as your bushes.

TecAmp Pumas don't need a speaker load.

IMO you can't beat Warmoth....I've had 3. But they are expensive. http://www.warmoth.com/default.aspx

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1456101555' post='2985478'] When asked what I do, I usually reply "I play bass", [/quote] This although to be more accurate it ought to be " I try to play bass"

Horrible racket... I don't think she's that great...too mechanical...and what a sh*t tone she has....

Stretch to some Sennheiser HD25 if you can

[quote name='enricogaletta' timestamp='1456045084' post='2984680'] SInce ten years ago I found the best solution in my opinion, to flight without any worries, check this out: [url="http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=13&o=&offset=&c=75&s=75"]http://www.skbcases....fset=&c=75&s=75[/url] I always use this solution. Never had bad experiences. Hope this helps. Cheers. [/quote] I have 2 I disagree. The choice of gig bags that actually fit in it is limited. Two times the latches have come undone in transit, despite them being padlocked. The new version with the strap is useless. The strap 'lock' comes open of its own accord.

I get paid to go away with my mates. I can lurk at the back and not have to be in the limelight. It gives me something to do.

None of that lot out there will know you've f***ed up....

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1455907640' post='2983594'] As an aside, can you plug these in whilst using them thus using it as a normal power supply? [/quote] yes you can I used a Volto on my nano but that's only got a BBE Optostomp and an analog chorus on it. With just those 2 pedals I can only expect around 5 hours use before needing a recharge.... I've now shelved the nano, expanded to a nano+, added a 12V high current pedal and gone back to my Trex chameleon...had to change the feet on the nano+ to accomodate it.

I have smallish hands and have found (due to one of our songs requiring it) that practising a certain triad arpeggio all over the neck has helped my fretting hand 'stretch'. Try playing a I V IX V arpeggio and try to hold the chord....I can now just about do it with the I at the 4th fret - a few weeks ago it was impossible....any closer to the nut and I would need to be Stretch Fingerstrong...

I fly with my bass regularly. I have tried [b]A full flightcase -[/b] Pros : nigh on indestructible if the internal foam is cut properly your bass will be well supported Cons: Weight - a full flightcase is a pain to lug about [b]A MonoM80 inside a SKB bass Safe[/b] Pros: Bass safe has wheels so can be dragged around airports. Much lighter than a flightcase you can use just the M80 gig bag at your destination, leaving the bass safe in the hotel or van Cons: M80 is a bloody tight fit inside a SKB bass safe The flightcase latch locks (old style) can come undone - even when padlocked(!) [b]SKB iSeries case[/b] Pro's: Lighter than a full flightcase Seems as indestructible as a full flightcase It has wheels!! Waterproof Air pressure maintained internally Cons: Expensive I absolutely adore my SKB iSeries 3i-5014-44 and hope we are happy together for many flights to come I have absolutely no concerns about putting that in the hold.
