[quote name='MAIDEN CITY' post='1332962' date='Aug 8 2011, 11:31 PM']Such a simple thing, to be honest.Someone actually sent me a message about that, but I thought it indicated shouting or something 10 years ago.But I dont think its all that important.At my age, seeing the screen is tasking enough.Big letters help, as you need good eye sight to see out of these Jamjars!!!lol [/quote] Try Ctrl and + together then Ctrl 0 to get it to normal! Also, steve actually uses a custom wound Seymour Duncan based on the SPB-1 Though the one you have are very nice basses!

[quote name='tauzero' post='1328296' date='Aug 5 2011, 09:30 AM']His earlier models looked like this: which was the 7-string version of Now he's gone over to his new style, which is the seven string version of this: I had to do a bit of fiddling with the nut and put in new pickups on my 7-string. It's got a lovely neck though. I must say, though, I do prefer the look of his older models.[/quote] Would you say they are decent? Might get a seven string one if another with a great big inlay on the fretboard comes up! (I love inlays and what not like that!)

The TRB1006J is the updated model, Try doing your homework next time The 1006J has a 3 piece neck, instead of a 1 piece neck with diffrent nut bolts with more or less the same system/design which gives a more stable neck, with also a little more mellow sound (but it's a very, very minor change to the sound, i doubt anyone would notice the change in sound is only 'on paper' as it were ) The pickups have also been altered a tad to sound "sweeter" and the EQ "improved" but i'd guess both of those things are an opinion! The J series are the new ones, the 1000 without the J's are the older ones I've followed the TRB1006/1006J for about 3 years as i've hard GAS for one, but a rig comes first, and i'm lacking on funds! Edit: Though the TRB1000J series comes in limited colours, i think they don't even do flat black anymore but i always wanted one in blue or red which they don't do aand haven't for about 5 years! The new ones are Natural, Transparent black or Caramel brown (my personal favourite!) The new ones i know for a fact are very well made, not played an older non J TRB1000 series to compare it too though

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1331391' date='Aug 7 2011, 09:16 PM']What's the Ibanez Paul Gray used to play? His bass, not the signature one... I'm assuming there's a difference, mind.[/quote] He played a Fender Jazz for aaagggess and did untill he died, and stingrays though had a prestige ATK and a Triple coil ATK one, then they gave him a signature as far as i know

[quote name='Kes' post='1331372' date='Aug 7 2011, 08:57 PM']The K5 never occured to me. will have to give one a play and see how it is tone wise compared to the others (I find many of the signature guitars - haven't played many sig basses) are pretty limited in the different tones and things they can offer. Still hunting around on gumtree and ebay etc [/quote] The K5 is VERY versitle i'll let you know! There is/was one in my local and i really liked it, the body and neck are a small percentage smaller than the normal SRs too, and thus a little lighter than those of the same materials in the SR serie,

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1331123' date='Aug 7 2011, 05:50 PM']From what I remember of my OTB, the mid didn`t add that scratchy nasally sound that you can get with some amps, just a bit more warmth and roundness to the sound. Making you sound like JJ Burnell, it would not - in the words of Yoda![/quote] Still going to have to hear it to make a call BUT sounds promising

[quote name='burno70' post='1330831' date='Aug 7 2011, 12:11 PM']I want one - never had a tube amp before and would love to give one of these a go. In between cabs at the mo. Once thats sorted I might pull the plug. I really like the demo's I've seen of it. Also like the idea of swapping the valves.[/quote] Same here I've listened to most of the clips on youtube of these and i have small GAS for one! No one in the videos showed the "strength" of the Mid control only the bass and treble so i'd really have to hear that before i'm sold! This and the Hartke LH500, loud and well priced Valve pre-amped amps! Where were they a couple years ago when i had the money!

[quote name='dan2112' post='1325155' date='Aug 3 2011, 03:32 AM']This may interest a few guys on here Was working at the gig in Cardiff, got the grand tour of 'arry's rig And yes that's his no 1 bass. Dan[/quote] How, how, how, how, how? I've always wanted to work at gigs and roadie but i've never been able too! I don't even know who to ask Very lucky man indeed!

[quote name='Chris Horton' post='1329835' date='Aug 6 2011, 12:48 PM']No, they don't make the Trb6p's anymore. You can only get them second hand. I had no idea that there were new TRB's on the way ! Very exciting ! Do you have any details / specs of the instruments ?[/quote] None, but they will retail through BassDirect for about £3000 (I'm going to pry Mark for specs though!) [quote name='XylemBassGuitar' post='1330028' date='Aug 6 2011, 04:28 PM']Are they all the same scale length? Have the same pickups? If either of those two aspects are different they will [i]definitely[/i] cause differences in tone between the instruments.[/quote] I believe the older ones were 34" and now they are 35" and also the much older TRB6s had single coils, and the the TRB6p ones were "fat" single coil designs which progressed into full on soapbars (IIRC)

I'll be following this cloesly! Looks to turn out a real beauty, and you'll be making some awesome music with it!

Do they still make the TRB6ps? I know a new line of TRBs are coming out before too long and have been designed in collab. with Mark from Bass direct I'd personally make sure i had one with Piezos and i'd be happy! All the sound clips of the TRB6ps i've heard have been awesome, but whats the actual difference?

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1328695' date='Aug 5 2011, 01:33 PM']The bass sound for the verse of Time is running out by Muse (is that what you mean?) is just a keyboard with some clean bass.[/quote] Yep thats what i mean, like the opening bassline, is 2 Deep Impacts run one after the other I know faaar too much about Muse gear as my brother is a [i]huge[/i] muse fan boy and a contributer to the muse wiki haha, There is no keyboard on Time is running out, i'm almost certain

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1325285' date='Aug 3 2011, 09:58 AM']Not sure what the price is on one of them, but there are some interesting and affordable 7 stringers on eBay. Not sure if they're any good mind. THis one looks really nice, but it is fretless: [/quote] Those are nice looks wise, Dread Bass owns one of neck through ones which I was after for a while! One of the Mods on here had that exact one! (well that model) They are HKs and there was a thread on them not too far back [quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1325285' date='Aug 3 2011, 09:58 AM']Or one of these from Vietnam: [/quote] And [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=510"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=510[/url] I'm apprehensive but i really would like one of them!

It's bass like the fish

[quote name='darylchan' post='1326418' date='Aug 4 2011, 03:28 AM']New guy chiming in... I've played the LH heads through hydrive cabs and they give gobs of power, definition and clarity. Gobs. However the EQ section is tone stack, ala Fender, so setting everything at 5 actually gives you a scooped, smiley-face EQ. Flat EQ is actually 9-3-9 on bass-mid-high[/quote] Flat is actually 2-10-2 Bass Mids High The Mids are very scooped, if liked every clip of them i've heard so may invest before too long

The pedal board on uprising was prettu simple, pretty much replicateable with a muff and Deep Impact (which you do have!) Thats as far as i know as it was a similar set up to Time is running out which was two deep impacts

You "could" but it would be reaaall floppy and as dc2009 said would be almost un playable, I use a 110 or a 115 for my E (in standard tuning! I like the strings tight ) and getting down to a B is alright on the .115 but still too floppy for my tastes! (I use a .140 B on my 6 strings)

Watch the "Just Dance" video the bass is awesome!

Do sound clips!!

Rich did some work on my bass, top top man! Wonderfully done, and it was quick too without the heavy pricetag! His bass building skills are awesome to behold too! Really nice guy, so buy in confidence (even offered me some tea and to watch the gran prix with him but i was running late enough as it was, and and he has good taste in music ) and if he ever steers you wrong i know where he lives so i can clap him round the ear though i that would never need to happen! Top class instrument tech/builder/gentleman!

I didn't like the American Special i played, not a fan of the greese bucket circuit, it's just a treble control and i like the tone being a tone control when i roll it off with more woof and bass but if you like just the treble to change then you'll love it, the neck is also really good, i prefered that over the American Standard though i think they are now the same? (The Standards are being changed is what i told but i'm not sure!)
