  1. [quote name='Duarte' post='1144099' date='Feb 28 2011, 02:23 AM']C'mon...who voted 'other'? There's always one...[/quote]
  2. I'm intrigued by this thread. I like my Terror head a lot but certainly concur with the original post. So I contacted Watford Valves as having spoken to them before they clearly know their stuff. The recommendation I had back was [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=2325"]http://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=2325[/url] and I've placed an order. If it's half as good as the description I'll be happy. I too own one of those Pro 40Db Inline Attenuator and have found it's only needed at some venues I've played. Pops right in the front of the carry bag & cheap enough to not have me panicing if I did happen to forget it one night.
  3. I think it's called Basschat!
  4. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1144259' date='Feb 28 2011, 10:53 AM']I prefer it that way... I'd rather have a long, comprehensive & evolving thread about a subject, rather than scratting about for scraps of info that go nowhere. Plus, it means whoever revived the thread has done the proper thing and searched first...[/quote] I'm in agreement here. It does occasionally make me laugh when someone replies to a quote from 3yrs ago but generally i think it works well. I revived an old thread the other week that hadn't been touched for a couple of years. I acknowledged this was what I was doing & even the OP said he was pleased to see it again! A lot of people have joined in the last year or two and it's always nice to get a fresh perspective. Plus it's interesting to read people's comments on the perfect bass that you also read about in the for sale section a few months ago!
  5. Nice to hear the bass right up there! If I was the director I'd have made the upright (& player!) much more of a feature
  6. Bumping this again. I've answered Slobluesine's queries via PM but for those wondering, the pickguard can be removed by me & I do have a right handed one. However the intonation would be out further up the neck so only consider this option if you want a cheap strummer. Ideally a left handed sale
  7. Mine are about 8" and the same shape as my Dad's - and he was a drummer. I think people like neck profiles because it's oten what they are used to. I prefer a thicker neck but can get by on a skinny neck too
  8. Welcome to Basschat
  9. Welcome Paulo
  10. Nice variety going on there! All to my tastes
  11. I missed this thread originally. Looks great IMHO. I won't be bidding but I do like the look of it
  12. I too agree with Bassbus. If you have exactly the same settings every time then chances are you are not listening properly. I always used to have things flat. Then I started rolling back the treble and increasing the bass. Now I use an Orange Terror head and as stated earlier, it doesn't have the most dramatic of EQ variations which actually suits me.
  13. I personally always favour flats so completely concur with the OP. It's a pain having to add a £30 cost to every bass I acquire but then again as has already been said the 75% of you favouring roundwounds probably help support the fact that roundwounds are cheaper which undoubtedly please the bass companies.
  14. Very cool. I thought I was the only Basschatter with a Reso Bass
  15. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-Fender-57-Reissue-Precision-Bass-Made-Japan-/170608802988?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item27b913bcac"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-Fender-57-Reiss...=item27b913bcac[/url] Very cool
  16. Sorry, referring to the modern ones. I'm not doing so well here
  17. Why was their any doubt? The EB0s are short scale & the EB3s are long scale with the Epiphone models. Is it because this isn't the case with Gibson ones? I also should have mentioned that I used to own an Epiphone EB3 too so have a bit of first hand experience, just not in this cool white shade.
  18. I've only played badly when I've drunk too much. Never any other reason if the set is rehearsed up. Sadly it's a lesson I seem to have to relearn with each & every band I join rather than just default back to the original lesson from my teens first time round. At least it's only once per band I join!
  19. There's a Marlin in my local shop in for repair & it appears perfectly fine to me. I wouldn't spend £150, I simply replace the pickup & replace the knobs as those look a bit cheap. I reckon you'll have a nice bass
  20. Tom I'm sorry to hear about your health. Best of luck with both the sale & your health in the future
  21. I'll stick my neck out here & say I think this band is going to be massive! Joking aside I'm pleased none of the ads I posted when I was 17yrs old made it onto the web
  22. [quote name='leschirons' post='1141978' date='Feb 26 2011, 12:01 AM']is that cheap for a Mex neck?[/quote] No. And he is acknowledging it has a flaw. Remember there will be custom charges too.
  23. Water Tower Bucket Boys are great. On the first tour they had a different bass player (Walter) who was mind blowing. Owl the promoter is an old friend of mine & I think this is the third tour he has had them over here
  24. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1141596' date='Feb 25 2011, 06:56 PM']Because I had bids before I realised.[/quote] I think my last few sales have just been BIN listings but I'm sure you used to be able to edit listings once people started bidding. Must've changed
  25. On the strength of what is written here I wouldn't be put off. A good set up and away you go!
