The Aria is a real fun looking thing, however I will not bid, divorce would be result. Someone should for the fun factor.

A FAL head, a thing from my youth a long time ago. Not sure what FAL stood for but I could suggest some phrases........

Could always build an 'angled' 4 x 10 - look at BFM crossfire design for inspiration. Would give better horizontal dispersion.

Many thanks for these from an aging and less talented bass player. Some practice on my part is in order.

Thanks, I will get the 5 stringer on it - Warwick Rockbass but fretless and fitted with pre-amp. I have most of my basses on TI flats. Failing that the G&L SB1 will be pressed into service.

All advice above is good. What is 'pretty high'? how many mm high at 12th fret? Remember too low and the bass will lose volume and tone.

I've also got 9000 words of other essays too, its killing me! My own fault though for leaving it so late [/quote] Your mate must be have been extremely capable, extremely so. Keep working, get sleep, avoid mind altering substances (coffee, red bull etc), get some exercise.

How do I get towards this bass tone (Bernard Edwards influenced). My Barefaced Dubster will deliver serious quantities of bass. Any thoughts gratefully used.

Get working, get focussed, two weeks is not very long for a dissertation. Good luck.

Super guy to deal with. Excellent communication and the pedal arrived as soon as possible and well packed. Thanks Alex.

At the money £300 it is a steal. USA bass, real wood. What have you to lose? If I was nearer Aberdeen and bass purchase brings potential divorce I would snap this up. They are not making them anymore....

Am awaiting the results, more pictures please.

Try another set of strings. I was recently fooled by a faulty new string (first ever in 40+ years bass playing). Could not get G string to intonate and tune correctly. It was a duff string. If the string does not fix your problem, take bass to a good luthier. Good luck.

Another two weeks and still nothing no email, no replies, nothing. Caveat emptor I am afraid.

Patents, other countries who do not care, alternative solutions that do not violate patents e.g. digital synthesis. Watch this space.

In my case I traded in a 1958 EB2 against a Precision in 1977 (I doubled my money). I would be more than happy to have it back, not likely though.

Wish I had seen this sooner, I would be more than happy to have a second one - suspect it would have been rendered fretless.

They certainly know how to get a potential band member into the best frame of mind to play well. Well avoided I feel.

Someone got an excellent bass here. Clarity of tone and no dead spots on mine is super. Whoever has it will need strong shoulders and a wide grippy strap. Mine is weighty and a slight neck diver.

Many thanks for offer, may get to N Yorks one day. Holiday was planned (camping) several years ago, then floods. Time we thought again.

I am still waiting nearly 8 weeks after paying for an amp (sold as faulty, not working). Payment was sent 19 Feb 2013 and an extra £10 for beer money for effort of packing the amp was included. Still no amp [size=4]. Emails and pms not replied to since 27 March. FB and emails to band members - they are helpful, but still no amp. Guess I put this one down to experience chaps unless someone knows Zach personally and can help. I can provide audit trail to show payment was made, when and where etc. This is the only BC purchase/sale that has gone wrong for me, sadly there will always be exceptions I guess.[/size]

If you can get 'mwahh' from bass unplugged imo you are 95% on the way. I have an EKO acoustic bass circa 1981, it has mwahh, plays itself almost. It has a £6 japanese 1980s jazz pu that I popped in soundhole. Great bass, massive neck, laquer so thick it is like toffee. It has 'mwahh'. Stick a pickup in it - wilkinson? see what happens as a starting point.
