[quote name='Shockwave' post='95321' date='Nov 27 2007, 09:34 PM']Hey guys. I am gassing for a vintage Fender, Unfortuantly it seems like i will only be able to afford a late 70's. So post your 70's basses, Especially looking for Antigua Finishes, But anything would be great! Wish i could start you guys off but ah well Cheers.

[quote name='Alun' post='95169' date='Nov 27 2007, 04:35 PM']Bizarrely, I think I have , Iwrote it out for a trombonist a while back. PM me your email address and I'll find the PDF for you. Cheers, Alun[/quote] The best version of that solo was an arrangement by Frank Zappa for a fat horn section. Was it on You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore? Anyway. Every little twist and turn of the original was faithfully replicated and it sounded great, made me appreciate the original as well!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='95157' date='Nov 27 2007, 04:13 PM']I'm cleaning up my fretless J project and want to replace the old scratchy pots but thoughtfully they don't have any values written on them just the word "reflex". I have read on tinterweb that they are the same as EMG active pots therefore should be 25k logs. Can anyone confirm or dispel this convenient theory/rumour?[/quote] They are almost certainly log. If they're active pickups they're very likely 25k; if they're single coil passives more like 250k . If you want to send me one I'll measure it and tell you for sure.

[quote name='16Again' post='71583' date='Oct 9 2007, 01:54 PM']What was the bassline you heard that made you decide to be a bassist? I think mine was probably Pretty Green by The Jam, so easy but so effective! Then i started saving for my first bass which was a KAY bought from Marshal Ward clubby book back in the year dot! [/quote] I can't believe no-one's said Live At Leeds yet. I wanted to _be_ John Entwistle when I got that album at age 15. The other one was Dave and Ansell Collins' Double Barrel. That was the first time I'd heard reggae, with its gloriously prominent juicy bassline.

[quote name='MileBG' post='94975' date='Nov 27 2007, 11:20 AM']Hello there! I am starting to build bass cab to expand my Nemesis N28S combo, I am thinking about cab with 15 inch speaker,but I need building plans,please help me![/quote] Here's a great place to start: [url="http://www.linearteam.dk/default.aspx?pageid=winisdpro"]http://www.linearteam.dk/default.aspx?pageid=winisdpro[/url] Download winisd pro, choose a driver from their database and have a play. I'm not sure if the Eminence Kappalite 15LF is in their database, if not you can get the necessary data from www.eminence.com and enter it yourself. This is a great speaker, very powerful and lightweight. enjoy!

[quote name='rohan' post='94539' date='Nov 26 2007, 01:51 PM']All sorted - I think he was trying to get a cheeky sale as he forgot to mention that it was a duplicate and me being the airhead that I am forgot that fenders are manafactured in JAPAN, not China "hi sorry for late reply i have been away for the weekend the guitar is a AAA duplicate from china all guitars from there are dups they are very well made just as good as an original at a fraction of the price i have 2 myself,i have no problem if your not happy with this and want to withdraw your payment as i should have put this in my ad,please let me know if you withdraw your payment i am very sorry for the late reply and confusion thanks phil"[/quote] I love a happy ending :-)

[quote name='mybass' post='94490' date='Nov 26 2007, 12:44 PM']I found an address through Basschat for a supplier of Decal transfers, "The Decal Shop". However, I have recently spent over two weeks trying to get an order sorted with these people. They will not supply a phone number, (maybe something to do with them making "Fender" logos?) and there isn't an online page(s) to peruse for ideas. My first email went unanswered but they have replied since the second was sent. This reply gave a hint of some form of ordering but still not a direct contact detail. Has anyone dealt with these people successfully? I am sure someone must have been able to order. Any help appreciated.[/quote] [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GUITAR-DECALS-LOGOS-FOR-RESTORERS"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GUITAR-DECALS-LOGOS-FOR-RESTORERS[/url] this guy is very helpful and communicative, drop him a line.

[quote name='Adam.M' post='94279' date='Nov 25 2007, 08:04 PM']I thought as much, thanks for the reply's guys! It makes me worried that the speaker may become damaged or lose it's tone quite quickly, it started to sound a bit dead the other day and less growly but i think it could be my strings, they're the ones that were on the bass, fender stock ones, had the bass only a few weeks, though i have been hammering it quite a bit since i got it! i guess it's time to put some decent strings on it... now to research some. The loud bang when turning the amp on still worries me but, i guess it's normal![/quote] Unless it's a *really* loud band it won't harm the speaker - I mean does it just seem really loud because it's the first sound you hear from it and your hearing is still sensitive? I've heard the whistle before, that's probably the op-amps in the preamp becoming unstable as the voltage dies away. Probably harmless. It's not very good engineering to allow those sorts of noises out though. Most power amps have a relay that connects the speaker only after everything's settled down, and disconnects immediately the power is off. It also protects the speakers should anything go badly wrong with the amp; I've seen speakers melted by amps that have suddenly decided to output 50V DC :-(

[quote name='BeLow' post='91996' date='Nov 21 2007, 09:14 AM']Was just thinking they could have it all coming back through the monitors, then sticking amps on stage so it didn't look like they were miming. Perhaps they ought to power up the amps next time though![/quote] Or at least load up a few washing machines...
