Ta for that one

Can't add much to this in the way of "do this, it may help", but I do remember my fretless being set up with individual piezo saddles by a well known luthier. It was a time consuming and painstaking process to get the saddles at the correct angles and heights to give an even output across the strings. To summarise, it may be a case of just spending some time to get things correct across the board, rather than a one - stop solution. Hope it goes well for you

[quote name='Clarky' post='1298668' date='Jul 10 2011, 12:11 AM']Wicked! Congratulations not only on getting the gig but on overcoming what must have been a big mental as well as physical impairment in the RA [/quote] 2nd'd

Can't find any other feedback threads for Paul, so here goes. I didn't buy anything off Paul and he didn't buy anything from me ! However, I've been looking around for an Eden amp ever since meeting Paul and trying out his Eden amp at the Anglia bash earlier this year. Paul was kind enough to get in touch with me recently to flag up an Eden amp on evilbay, which I now own So thanks to Paul, I now own a rather special amp. Credit where it's due Paul. I'm afraid the secret's out - Paul's a good'n folks Thanks Paul, I owe you one Tom

Would anyone be interested in doing a set-up master class like last time, only later in the day 'coz the last one was too early for me And re. the slap ban. Having had a most beneficial and instructive lesson in slap from Urb at the last bash, I may form a resistance movement. FREE THE SLAP [/quote] Did Plux get bumped off the list ?

That was a joy to watch Thanks for posting that one

A huge influence to my playing for a long, long time. I consider him as one of our founding forefathers. If someone ever carves the faces of a handful of bassplayers out of a rockface on a large scale, I hope John would be there. RIP John

Picked up a case from James during working hours, so quite a quick deal. Can backup everyone else's comments around here about James' good communication Cheers James

You can have another go of my RW's if it helps Jake. Save yourself £1000's and still get a bass that plays and feels like a 60's model

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1277734' date='Jun 21 2011, 08:54 PM']I think it depends on the tuning to get the whole range, where as a bass guitar has the whole range avalible (though of this i'm unsure, and i'm talking about the low notes) Though doesn't A bass guitar sound one octave below written? So the B, 2 ledger lines down below the staff is the B string, but what you're actually hearing is the octave below that, The reason it is still a bass is it's access too and chromaticism (is that a word? ) in the lowest register (in terms of an ERB)[/quote] Just checked it to be sure. The lowest note of the Cello in standard tuning is C2, that is C two octaves below middle C, which is one semitone lower than the B on a 5 string bass. A giant upright acoustic bass guitar !
