    Nordstrand Ebay - Advice Needed

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I know you've just possibly ordered one, but if you're willing to drop >£1k on a bass, why not look at getting one built?

    One of my requirements of my purple beastie was it had to be pretty light. Not sure on weight atm - but it's insanely lightweight. No idea what Rich did but you don't even feel the weight really!

    And thanks to an issue completely outwith my control - I wont back in the UK till Tuesday. :(
    So much for my offshore trip being 2 nights offshore...

    I've PM'd Alan to say I won't be coming now so my weekend ticket should be up for grabs.

    :(

    Sucks.

    Oh balls.

    Hello - I was getting wrist pain pretty badly a little while ago.

    Went to the doctor and was suspected of CTS too. I was told to wear a wrist support (the ones with the metal rod) whilst sleeping to try and keep my wrist in the correct angle. I also was advised to get an ergonomic mouse for work (I work in IT) - so now got a funcy joystick looking thing.

    Did the nerve tests and found no issues...Until the doctor asked what my hobbies were. I mentioned bass (whilst miming with my hands), to which he said "Hold up, do that again... is that where your right hand sits?"
    I agreed - quick test found I was somehow trapping the nerve whilst playing! Changed my technique slightly and strengthened my wrists with exercise. Not much pain or issue now! Still get the odd flare up but it's controllable.

    Hopefully the nerve testing reveals whats wrong :)

    Quite like the idea of this.

    However - I'm happy with my head and cab. I would quite like to use some of the more strange effects within my pedalboard... Presume you could run in/outs on the sonic port as per normal board? Can you disable the amp in some of these apps?

    Eg could I run Bass > Tuner > Octave > Fuzz > Sonic Port > Synth > reverb (for example)?

    Finally getting my bass built! By our very own Ou7shined!

    Thats a great build! Can I ask, what do you use to make your templates from? I'm starting a build soon, and want to make a master template to use more than once.

    I'd also love to know some more info on installing LED's! Am I asking you to reveal too many secrets on that one. :D

    Hey man - I'd ping Ou7shined a message :) Sure he'd be willing to assist!

    I'll try and get some recordings as soon as :)

    Never know :) never thought the bass whammy would be reissued!
    If Akai were to make a reissue they could make ot the ultimate synth - usb editting, multiple wave forms and a bloody "down" button built in!

    I can dream! On the plus side they're coming down slowly... Just gotta get one at a price im willing to pay!

    Dunno if this has been mentioned but I was reminded of this build when I spotted this bass on eBay:

    Has anyone heard anything new about the release date on the bass whammy? Can't wait to get my hands on one of these, the Whammy IV has become my most used pedal over the past year so this is perfect timing :D

    Andertons had end of March - but I got another email afterwards saying May. So it's totally confusing.

    Received my Grand tarkin the other day. Still to play it but a pic below.

    Tom changed the frequency response of the clean blend to allow addition of pure low-end under the fuzz. Looking forward to running this with the band!

    That sounds pretty cool - is it running into the meatbox? I'll bet that sounds demonic! :D

    I've been told......

    This is because bass players by and large are regarded by everyone who doesn't personally play music (and the vast majority that do) as failed guitarists... it's only got four strings, you don't play chords or widdly solos etc... hence when they see a good bass player you are seen to be playing bass like a guitar (ie. well)
    [/quote]

    Dunno - I've seen many a bass player playing as though they were playing massive chords/dreadnought guitars. That looks like playing bass like a guitarist.

    imo.

    Andertons - Great Service!

    In a world where it's only the bad stuff about companies mentioned, Thought I'd let people know of the great service I received today.

    I ordered a certain pedal ( :ph34r: ) last night, forgot to use my loyalty points - thought bugger it, I'll try and get the cash back today.
    Emailed the guys and got a response within about 2 minutes saying it was no problem and I'd be refunded the points value asap.

    I know it's not much - but the speed and the fact they're willing to do this is great :) It's the little things that count!

    Very pleased :)
