  1. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1027275' date='Nov 17 2010, 08:21 PM']In the first post I mentioned this was the second one I had done. The other one has a maple fretboard [/quote] I was going to say I preferred the maple fretboard one, but I wasn't quite sure it was yours. Both stunning looking basses though!
  2. NICE! You've done a great job! If it had a maple fretboard it'd be perfect!
  3. Got to try my new set up last night at a decent volume. Here it is on top of my old Laney 4x10: [attachment=64208:P1000623.JPG] I changed the red piping for some yellow to match the head better. The amount of low end this tiny cab throws out is amazing! The sound is really clear too, I haven't decided whether I'll use my Sansamp BDDI with it yet. With the BDDI it sounds a bit thin and rattley, without it's a bit too clean. I need a bit more tweaking time. Arty iPhone image: [attachment=64201:IMG_2211.JPG]
  4. [quote name='Matt Golgotha' post='1026196' date='Nov 16 2010, 06:35 PM']there were a couple of guys mentioned in this thread that may still do it: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9776&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9776&st=0[/url][/quote] Thanks, I did try searching for something like that..
  5. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='1026041' date='Nov 16 2010, 04:40 PM']I would like to compare exactly how good his necks are in relation to the other guys out there doing it.[/quote] Talking of this kind of thing, who else out there does this? I'm looking for someone to coat the board of the Warwick neck I defretted. I've been in touch with Sims and was looking for others to get quotes from...
  6. That is beautiful!!! I kinda agree that it doesn't fit with Maiden's image though
  7. [quote name='paul_5' post='1025240' date='Nov 15 2010, 09:42 PM']Let's hear it for the 'True Bypass' mod... That's next on my list.[/quote] I've been meaning to do this mod, just haven't gotten around to it. My pedal is really still a work in progress as I'm sure there's still chance for me to kill it, like my other modded pedals...
  8. A bit of Mark Lanegan:
  9. I joined a band after a 3 or 4 year break. Have only played one gig but I'm really enjoying playing in a band again, so I'm happy.
  10. [quote name='icastle' post='1023458' date='Nov 14 2010, 02:54 PM']Not come across them before. Big range of components there but some of their components are twice the price of bitsbox unless you are buying 10 at a time. I'd perhaps use them for the more obscure components that bitsbox don't supply.[/quote] I used them when you had to order from the US, even with shipping they worked out cheaper than buying from UK suppliers. I did order 20+ of each component at a time though. Plus they send you a, telephone directory sized, catalogue each year for free. Which helps to quickly find part numbers.
  11. Not really my thing, but I can't deny it's a stunning looking bass!
  12. [quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1019382' date='Nov 10 2010, 09:35 PM'][url="http://www.bitsbox.co.uk"]www.bitsbox.co.uk[/url] [url="http://uk.farnell.com/"]http://uk.farnell.com/[/url] You should get most of what you need from these 2. E-ay for the more obscure stuff. [url="http://vibe-o-tronic.co.uk/"]http://vibe-o-tronic.co.uk/[/url] usually has some good stuff selected for guitar pedals too but it's pricy.[/quote] I used [url="http://uk.mouser.com/"]Mouser Electronics[/url], but before they had a UK presence...
  13. [quote name='4000' post='1018741' date='Nov 10 2010, 01:31 PM']Am I alone in thinking that in the first pic the figuring on the top bout of the bass looks like a dark haired girl sitting on a rock with the already discussed sea/sunset behind her? Regardless, that figuring is amazing.[/quote] I was thinking more like a mermaid.
  14. A bit of Lenny. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nV-IfC98M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01nV-IfC98M[/url] (embedding has been disabled by request of SME)
  15. [quote name='Brookesy13' post='1021988' date='Nov 12 2010, 10:29 PM']Hod you take the circuit board out? As it is held in by both input and output jacks and the power supply jack. Thanks in Advance.[/quote] Undo the input and output jacks using pliers to undo the "nut". The power supply just butts up against the enclosure, it's not attached IIRC.
  16. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1018490' date='Nov 10 2010, 10:32 AM']Cor they don't come much uglier.[/quote] [url="http://www.loewenherzbass.com/english/model_00204.html"]But[/url] [url="http://www.loewenherzbass.com/english/model_00504.html"]they[/url] [url="http://www.loewenherzbass.com/english/model_00104.html"]do[/url]!
  17. [quote name='Truckstop' post='1020634' date='Nov 11 2010, 08:11 PM']I love Opeth. They are the wick! Truckstop[/quote] [quote name='dood' post='1020696' date='Nov 11 2010, 09:12 PM']I was watching my In Live Concert At The Albert Hall DVDs just yesterday!! Yeah, love 'em.[/quote] I'm suddenly feeling the need to own a Marcus Miller Jazz!

  19. Have you considered Warmoth parts?
  20. [quote name='Jerry_B' post='1019299' date='Nov 10 2010, 08:16 PM']They're touring at the moment - I'm seeing them in London on the 25th of this month.[/quote] The closest one I can conceivably get to is Derby! Although I'd love to go to ATP again...
