Hey for what its worth I tried an orange tt against my aguilar db659 the other day and wasnt impressed - lots of volume but nowt much else to my ears. I'm not saying the db is better for old school recording but its got great tone tho maybe hard to find. What something like the catalinbread pedal sft pedal or the electronix submarine designer - lots of ols school options and run thru a valve di like the art - Boom! vintage for less. I had a minimat for a while and it was great for valve goodness recording direct. Hope that helps and let us know what you find

Got lovely wee hollow body Rivoli style bass but wanna upgrade the pots. As the title suggests Im not sure which would be better suited for this hollow body style mudbucker equipped thumper. Im guessing a gibson equivalent would do the trick but any advice is welcome. Cheers in advance.

Hey there spaz91 At the minute Im gonna hang back on your offer and I have to say the ATK looks pretty mean. Ideally Im after the sale or trade for a skyline. I will think it over tho and read a up alittle on these basses - had an ibanez bass a few yrs ago and really liked it - very playable. Cheers [quote name='spaz91' post='743865' date='Feb 13 2010, 12:02 PM']Could I interest you in an Ibanez ATK300 + £70?[/quote]

Jezza Yeah to be honest Im gutted as I played one in the shop and I really like the feel of it - moved the strap button and use with a leather strap so it sits fine but once I go back to my P Bass it just feels so right. I think a trade for a Lakland skyline BG or DD with maple neck (plus some cash) is on the cards as that should have been my 2nd bass! Better the devil you know!

To expand on my original post Just a few months old this is a natural oil finish T Pro Thunderbird bass. It has none of the rough neck problems that some guys here have had with their NO finish T pro's. The bass plays great has a really nice sustain from the thru neck construction and looks killer on stage. It has a more 'jazz profile' and certainly suited to fast runs. T The bass works really with with dirt boxes and i used it mainly on the tunes which I use dirt alot. Sounded very rock I can tell ya. Sonically I find this bass very versatile. Its has active p/u's ( and roundwound strings) and as I normally play a P bass with flatwound strings its a great contrast for the songs where I use it with my band - being able to boost the bass and treble means I can leave my amp alone and do all changes from the bass itself - very useful when switching mid set. The tone is solid and it can go from a burpy j vibe on the bridge to P bass fullness. I found that some solo bass tunes I have sounded great - the harmonics jumping out and sounding very alive with the tonal range much more tweak-able than my P bass. Its hard to describe tone but you get the general idea. My reasons for sale are simple - While I love the look, feel and sound of the bass Im just too used to the P bass neck dimensions. The T Pro is a great bass and I was so pleased when I finally got a Thunderbird I liked.....but Im a P bass guy true and true ( I shifted a really nice Jazz to get my current P) My options now are to sell or trade up in px for a Lakland Skyline BG or DD and cash (from me) and put in a new P-Retro from East when he gets them out for sale to make it active. Ideally a straight sale would better but I'm willing to listen to trades especially that '03 Duck Dunn Skyline that was in here a few months back Price includes an Epiphone leather effect hard case that is fitted for the T Bird - much higher quality than the moulded guitar cases they do on their Dot guitar models. I cant get my pic's to upload but PM if interested and I'll mail them to ya if you fancy a gander! A note to the guys who have already been in touch looking to buy the case only - Thanks for the offers but I think I'll sell them as a package as its a shame to split such a lovely couple. Thanks for reading k

For fear of sounding boring or like a broken record Jack has been a delight to deal with! Nice to see a sense of humour Great comms, the numbers were right and everything went smooth. Patsy

Would a little fine grit sandpaper and some carefully applied pure tung oil not sort out the 'rough neck'? Might be a little extra work but probably worth it for such a killer looking bass? I only ask as I'm seriously considering one in natural for the very reason I can refin the neck to my liking (tung oil or another alternative natural finish) [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='710004' date='Jan 12 2010, 02:05 PM']Ah, I see now - Yes, yours is the black one, isn't it? The painted or stained models seem to get the gloss neck treatment, but the natural is horribly unfinished and rough to the touch. Rich.[/quote]

In keeping witht he TBird theme Any views on the new TBird Pro's from Epiphone? Had a look at them yesterday and They ain't bad but what do I know. Very tempted to get T but not entirely sure should I save a little bit and get a Gib or go for the Epi Pro. Views appreciated fella's

hi Gaz I've never heard of these guys before but they lookand sound quite good. Be interested to hear how you find them once you have play tested them Do come back on and post some reviews Cheers k [quote name='GazWills' post='728744' date='Jan 29 2010, 02:32 PM']hi folks, new to the forums, so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place!! i recently ordered a couple of pedals from ElectroniX in Houston, which have now been built and were shipped yesterday, via USPS Priority Mail. I've seen a couple of ElectroniX pedals on the pedalboards thread, so somebody has ordered from them before!! I've never ordered from the States before, and wondered if anybody had pedals imported before, and knew if i may get stung for import VAT or other sneaky charges!! Value of the 2 pedals, plus postage, was about 260 dollars if that makes a difference. cheers Gaz[/quote]

Yeah had a look on the app stoe but with so much choie I was wondering what was recommended. I've picked up Guitar Toolkit as it does seem to have everything in one package. Thanks for the tips

Any good Apps that you guys recommend? Im trying to get my head around chord shapes and the scales and something i can carry on the ipod touch would be great for on the fly practice Cheers
