Just a shame the dry-out has disappeared. A great way to use the Meatbox through a PA and not destroy your speakers was to use the dry out to your amp and the wet out to your DI box. Si

I don't know much about bass construction (I've played 33" 5ers with lovely Bs). But what I do know is that if you increase the size of the strings core (not the guage of the winding), you increase tension. Si

I wonder if there's been a run on them?! To be fair I just ordered 1x Pink 1590a, so hardly a large stock Si

I have to say, I went from 19mm 4strings, and an 18mm 5 string, to the 17.5mm of the MGS with no issues. It seems to be a string spacing that lends it's itself to easy playing without being too tight or alien! I had a 16.5 ACG before the MGS and that was a bit tight for me. Anyway, good luck with the sale. Si

[quote name='Bikenbass' timestamp='1432411936' post='2781281'] I'm a hideous gonk, never felt comfortable infront of a camera. [/quote] Oh, Mick (The Greek) should take credit for the idea, I'm happy to just try and make it happen Si

Doesn't look anything like Marleux M-Bass. Not a great singlecut shape that! Si

I'd probably leave the neck as it is if it's all original, obviously the bodies worth has been decreased, but if you ever sell it, the neck would up the worth if its untouched. However if the neck has also been fiddled with previously, refinished etc, then why not! Si

Hi all, Couple of pedals still to he sold. Whilst all these pedals are in good condition, there may be a couple of marks or nicks here and there, they are fairly old after all. But generally in decent condition Trades/part ex for a cheapish delay or a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes Collection in Welwyn Garden City or High Wycombe possible. Here we go: £40 - Boss LM-2 Limiter (Japanese Black Label) - Good condition £35 - DOD FX70 Metal X Distortion - boxed - good condition £35 - Zoom 510 Dual Power Driver - no box - no PSU POSTAGE = £5 anywhere in the UK Cheers Si

Will be fitting a set of Crash Magnetic Tranducer P pickups to a project body sometime next week, what exactly do i need to fit under them? Obviously old fenders have a brass plate and some foam, so models just have foam, some have nothing?! The pickups themselves are not 'gooped' into the covers in anyway, so guessing I'll need some foam at the very least to hold everything in place. What's neccessary do you think? Cheers Si

Hi guys, Just tidied the thread a little to get it back on track, sure you understand Lets get the picture of the bass back, am intrigued Si

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1432301241' post='2780209'] That is lush. I play 5's less than 50% of the time so can't really justify the purchase, but that is truly lovely. GLWTS. [/quote] It's funny, I don't really consider it a 5, as the business end is just a low E rather than a low B getting in the way. It's easier to 'ignore' the high C if it's not appropriate for your gig Si

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1432204883' post='2779091'] part of me was hoping you'd say the whammy sounded like the POG ok, cool - something to probably check out then. Harmony settings, maybe with delay, is what tempts me - still tempted to try an EQD pitch bay, just for pedal size considerations!!! [/quote] I had a Pitch Bay for a short time, didn't think much of it. Digital sounding (unsurprising perhaps, it's digital), but also kinda difficult to use with precision. I'd probably look at the Bass Whammy if I needed any pitching needs again! Si
-
Oh it's only a Trooper Boost to put on a mini board for me. I figure pink enclosure, pink knob, pink wiring. If it goes well, I'll do a little run in October for Breast Cancer awareness That said, I hate working with 1590a, so we'll see how my patience work out haha. Could always up to a 1590B Si
-
Enclosure has arrived and is great quality. The standard 'orange skin' texture that you find on all powder coats, but it's even and without any imperfections. Will definitely be using these guys again! Will post the finished pedal when built. Si

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1432228541' post='2779488'] Hmmmm can I hang around here and sulk? Would it be worth selling everything I own for a fodera? If a "one bass to rule them all" exists, would it be one of these? I have to admit I'm a bit marmite about them. Sometimes I drool over the MGS and AJ Presentation models. Other times I think they're just a peculiar shape. But expensive to take a punt on one! Although they seem to sell on the pre loved market too. Maybe one day..... [/quote] There is a difficulty here that I think a lot of people have an expectation of every Fodera bass to absolutely blow their socks off....which simply isn't going to happen. Regardless of how well any bass is made, it's not going to talk to everyone. As such I'd always be wary of buying someone else's custom build if you're unsure about a spec that suits you. Either order a custom with a spec that you have experimented with before, or check out the Fodera standard series basses. These mean you can order a bass knowing exactly what it will feel like, but it still being a hand-built instrument, which is what I did. Si
