    [quote name='Dirtydave77' post='785377' date='Mar 25 2010, 12:28 AM']Good evening people! Just need to get some help before buying a little combo. I am after a 30watt (or there about), bass combo. Trouble is, I am after an amp with a wide range of sounds. Looking for an amp that will give me some old school, phat 70's bass sounds, Jazzy, blues. Right through to a more modern rock/metal sounds from bands of today. If there is anyone out there that could point me in the right direction. That wouls be great Cheers David[/quote] How much do you want to spend? If 'notalot' have a look for a s/h Trace Elliot Boxer, they're often on thebay! Hard to beat for the money, mine cost me about £75 - worth 3 or 4 times that I reckon in sound per pound There's 30 Watt into 10" speaker or 65 /12". I'm using a 65 watt set flat mostly - gain, bass mid & treble at 12 o'clock, volume usually around 9 o'clock & it's a great sound. Cheers, John

    [quote name='4 Strings' post='787752' date='Mar 27 2010, 11:55 AM']Just had a look and mine are slightly different. I've seen an old pic advertising a Precision and the position of the silk varied with the string to be longer as it goes from E to G to match the Fender type headstock. With the silk as shown in your picture the strings are generic and would fit any 34" bass. I was hoping mine would be the Fender specific type, hinting they may be original but the silk doesn't start until a few rounds of the capstan. I think it'll take a while to get used to playing with flats, its a sound I have been careful to avoid for >30 years hence countless sets of Swing Bass![/quote] Don't forget mine in picture above - Frank Bello bass - are strung through body so you can see 1" or so longer silks before the machine head than bridge strung. I just shot these - GHS 3060 strings on a 34" scale P bass, & 35" scale Skjold both hipshot bridges.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='787396' date='Mar 26 2010, 08:10 PM']I think the Fender stainless flats still have green silks today.[/quote] Yep they do New style packet, but the strings remain the same Edit: Pics - Fender new & old packs + LaBella 1954's I didn't like the new MLs at first, but as it was nearly St Paddy's day I left them on now they're *run-in* they're pretty good for the price, a lot less £ than LaBella 1954 Oldies - which BTW I've not fitted 'cos they feel "as ruff as a badgers chuff" I expect they'd be ok after a week or 3, saving them as a spare set.

    Brand new bridge cover for P bass '51 P/N 0032979000 genuine Fender was a bargain $13.99 + postage from the states. It won't fit on mine sensibly 'cos it's got a Hipshot bridge, which is wider than normal & closer to bottom edge. [s]£12 + £3 P&P PayPal OK, cheque or cash[/s] Cheers, John SOLD, PAID & POSTED - Thanks

    [quote name='dudewheresmybass' post='785304' date='Mar 24 2010, 11:03 PM']in terms of wahs there are a few discussions already underway about which on is best. they normally come down to three mass market pedals ( Dunlop 105q, Morley models, and Ibanez weeping demon) plus boutique options (Wilson, MSD etc.) Realistically, there are tons of video reviews on youtube if trying these out is a problem For reverb, i've had some great results with the marshall reflector. It retails at less than most of the competition, yet still sounds great! I'm sure others will add their opinions too, but i hope this helps. PS - Can i have a go on your bass? [/quote] [sup]NO![/sup] Mmmmm - maybe if I can borrow your talent boost control? [quote name='OldGit' post='785376' date='Mar 25 2010, 12:25 AM']I changed my Weeping Demon WD7 for a Dunlop 105Q last year and really like the relative simplicity. The WD7 did too much. All I wanted was a wah. The 105Q does just that.[/quote] Sounds like my sort of pedal, that'll do me too! [quote name='EskimoBassist' post='785383' date='Mar 25 2010, 12:45 AM']+1 Dunlop 105Q and +1 Marshall Reflector. Both sit happily on my pedalboard. Great pedals.[/quote] 2 votes for the Marshall so I presume it works well with bass then, can't see any mention of bass in the specs. Cheers all.

I would have bought this off you days ago if I had the room for ANY amps but the mini hifi for practice. Any chance you can keep it for 18 months till i get my own place? :-) Have a bump, get it sold and stop tempting me.[/quote] Cheers - but I need the space new rig arriving Tuesday!

    [quote name='spinynorman' post='782988' date='Mar 23 2010, 12:47 AM']I'm thinking about maybe changing the stock pickup in my Fender 51 RI P. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of or thoughts on the various replacements that are available - Seymour Duncan, Nordstrand, Lindy Fralin ...?? The Fralin's come in several guises - single coil, split coil, overwound. What sort of tonal differences do these make?[/quote] My '51 came already modded with a Seymour Duncan Bass Lines SCPB-2 :- [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/progressive-1/scpb2_hot_for_s/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...cpb2_hot_for_s/[/url] I've got the original pup with but have never tried it so can't say how they compare, haven't tried Fralin or Nordstrand either. No complaints about it, no reason to change, it's set about 2mm from E & G strings held down at fret 20, gives plenty of output with good balance across all strings. I'm using GHS Black Nylon 3060's, play almost 100% fingers & getting a real deep down P bass thump - beautiful! I think it retains the true P bass tones which is how I want it, don't know how the others change the sound. HTH, Cheers, John

    Hi Tom, My understanding is to fit a BadAss bridge on a Aerodyne the radius/carved body needs routing to fit it proper like? So taking it off to sell/trade seems strange? Why?

    KiOgon replied to Guy!!'s topic in Basses

    Neat review The neck dive could be the least of your problems - if you keep leaning it against the wall - as in your photo, you might one day find out how easy these seem to snap the head off when they hit the floor! Do yourself a favour - when you get a few £ to spare - get a stand & use it (If you don't mind some friendly advice like ) Cheers, John
