The Morpheus Droptune looks very impressive on guitar, seems to track full chords very well. I'd be extremely interested to see if it worked on bass! Si

Sorry if I've completely missed this elsewear, but are you lacquering the basses too, or just leaving them painted? Si

The 'South East' bash is generally held in Surrey around November time. But that's not to say a London couldn't be held by someone Si

May well get along to this Si

Yeah that 1970 OW is a beauty! But 2700 for a refinish? naaaaaa . And also, where has the truss gone in the end-of-the-neck picture The '68 Jazz is also very nice, non-original tuners from wrong era kinda ruins it though haha. Si

The idea of the 'JV' series is that the serial number started with JV Si

Can't help myself, gotta get them in before the end of the year I call this one..... The Sneeze [url="http://img704.imageshack.us/i/sneeze.png/"][/url] Si

Well, on mine, it makes the whole bass sound PHATer, and voids the neck pickup volume. So whether it's still on or not, only the neck pickup volume seems to work. Si

On my Shuker/Parts Jazz, I have a stacked knob arrangement (2x vols & 2x tones), as well as a three way switch. This allows me to have neck/both/bridge pickups on. It just means that if I'm ever in a situation where I'd prefer one volume for ease of use (teaching etc), I have the option. On my MIA Jazz, I use the S1 switch in a similar way, because it cuts out the bridge pickup, I can just use the one volume (neck) to control the whole bass. Si

The first amp I ever gigged with/owned was a Hartke B90 Great amp :-D Si

So m00sh is on his way to get the Compact from me. I've done 3 gigs with it and have enjoyed it very much actually, I think actually the true test will be how I feel when I plug my cab back in at the weekend! . I don't really have much to add to my initial thoughts (first post on this page), although I should probably outline that I used my Ashdown ABM EVO II 500 and MIA Jazz Standard with the cab. I'm going to echo stingrayfans words when he passed the cab to me of: "I'm going to miss it" . Based on this test, and Alex's new spec's (assuming the even lighter new cabs don't negate the structural integrity), I'd seriously consider the Compact. I'll reiterate that I enjoyed using it a lot more over 'The Big One'. Cheers Alex! Si

I am amazed at some of the numbers here, with people holding down full time jobs and some on shifts!!! We did 20, which I think was 2 down on last year but 40, 50, 60 and way beyond!!!! I struggle to remember all of ours in one year, let alone some of the 100+ listed from some of you guys! Hats off to you. Now where is that gig diary???? [/quote] Yeah.....don't remember them all, but they'll all written in the diary lol Si

I wouldn't be bothered at all about being 'seen' with a squier, if the player and tone is great, then no-one will notice or care whats on the headstock. I've got a Squier CV Jazz, and while it's not quite on par sound wise with my MIA Jazz (not much is in my opinion), the build quality is probably just as good. obviously the body wood is basswood as opposed to alder, but who can hear that lol. Whack some good pickups in the CV, and a great bass for not much money it would no doubt be!! I also have an A series Jap Squier Precision (ex-Bassassins), and although I haven't gotten round to making it gig-fit, I think it's gonna be ace. Also have a Squier Deluxe 5 string Jazz that definitly does the job, although I may sell it to fund a fretless jazz or a MIA standard 5er Si

The clifton is a completely passive bass, no control cavity, just one cable leading from the jack, to a small black node (the rechargable battery??), then to the bridge. Si

Cool, have emailed him! I gigged the bass last night and noticed that the E & A strings are a lot quieter than the D & G strings, I've asked Mo whether that's down to the pickup or something else, like strings perhaps!? I believe it's fitted with Spirocores Si

If it's any consolation, I was only judging the Compact I've currently got on loan by sound anyway! The way I see it, it's both lighter and cosmetically less f@"*ed than my Ashdowns lol Si

God, stop hyping them up. [i]Barefaced Fans[/i]...You didn't like them? Oh well, that's cool. You could give them a bit more time? No worries though, it's all subjective. [i]Others[/i]...STOP IT! Stop trying to force Barefaced cabs down my throat. I can't stand any more hype! [i]Barefaced Fans[/i]...Whoa! Chill out guys. I like mine, and I thought you would too. No big deal though. I know they have issues, but I am happy to compromise for the weight and tone. [i]Others[/i].. La La La La I can't hear you! It's the HYPE...HYPE...HYPE...I can't hear my self think any more!!!!! I tried these cabs along side every other cab in the world and if Alex hasn't compared them in one million live situations against the largest Ampeg/Berg/Eden/EBS rig then he is a fool and he is going to hell!! [i]Bareface Fans[/i]...Okay, I'm getting worried about you now. Can I get you anything? DO, YOU, NEED, YOUR, MEDS? [i]Others[/i]...but...but......but......FINNBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
