[quote name='BassBus' post='267891' date='Aug 22 2008, 02:49 PM']I contacted Rob about an Electro earlier this year and he informed me he was revisiting the design. Moved the mag pickup and a new EQ. Some work to do on the bridge pickup.[/quote] Oh crap. Another one I want.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='267866' date='Aug 22 2008, 02:17 PM']iv just noticed something rather amazing, since i fitted the bass neck to my stingray about 3 weeks ago ish, iv not had to tune it....at all, its completly kept in tune! crazy, why does anyone bother with wooden necks?? [/quote] Yup. My Retroactive gets tuned only for ceremony thesedays, just to be ultra-sure. Roll on my all-graphite dream bass....

[quote name='billrasic' post='267835' date='Aug 22 2008, 01:33 PM']i tryed that and cannot get it to open on any pc. thanks anyway[/quote] Same here. Is it a stereo 600W per channel power amp? Bet it sounds hoooooooooooooooooooge!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='267818' date='Aug 22 2008, 01:18 PM']Hopefully the good folks of basschat will gather around and help you out? [/quote] Aye, if anyone wnats to buy anything of mine except the Retroactive and Trace 1x15 combo then gimme a shout, haha!! Just spoken to Dawn @ Status, looks like my wallet will take a massive hit soonly...

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='267764' date='Aug 22 2008, 12:17 PM']You'll never cure GAS if you keep coming on here anyway![/quote] Nail -> head I think I may try to follow your example but I fear in these "uncertain" economic climes I may have done it 6 months too late!

[quote name='ped' post='267757' date='Aug 22 2008, 12:09 PM']Oh, but you want a Streamline 5. Bugger[/quote] My Retroactive into the Trace 1x15 combo is the one. Except when it's going into the 4x8, then it's the one there instead. [quote name='Sibob' post='267758' date='Aug 22 2008, 12:10 PM']Here's to helping unused gear get the use it deserves by other people Si[/quote] I'll poss drink to that soonly!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='267756' date='Aug 22 2008, 12:08 PM']how much are you selling the groove 5 for.... perfectly fair enough mate, we all have GAS! although u sure u wanna sell the 8x8 rig? man id love to hear my bass through that[/quote] Nik has first dibs on the Groove I'm afraid (has done for years!! ) I'm hoping to bring the 8x8 to the SE Bash so if you make it you can hear it. And no, I'm not sure I want to sell it but the number of gigs I've got for the next year is so small having 2 rigs is an utterly pointless luxury neepheid - glad I'm not the only one

Just coz: i) I want a Streamline 5 ii) I don't really need 2 rigs at all iii) see i) and ii) So was thinking the 8x8 V-Type rig could go. The Groove 5 could go. Hell, even the Groove fretless could go, it barely gets played. It's basically disguising GAS as GSS (Gear Selling Syndrome anyone?) Anyone else suffering form this or am I feverish?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='267653' date='Aug 22 2008, 09:37 AM']It was only a fleeting visit to the factory - Rob & Dawn were at home taking pictures of all the stock basses & redoing the website, so just a drop off this time.[/quote] Furry muff. And what basses they are. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

My Retroactive

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='267230' date='Aug 21 2008, 05:42 PM']Picked up this beauty today at the same time as dropping my old S2 into the factory to get the preamp rewired. Thanks again Rich (greyparrot)! It's a 2008 S2-Classic 5-er in satin cocobolo with spalted maple board (you can't see the join between the maple & graphite - Truly stunning!)[/quote] Gorgeous! How was your trip to Rob, Dawn and the boyz? Did you get to see any of those stunning new stock basses on their site?

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='266845' date='Aug 21 2008, 09:35 AM']Someone's got the GAS... [/quote] I always have GAS If I could, my flat would be full of basses and amps, but the Plate'n'Dishes would kill me

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='266680' date='Aug 20 2008, 10:47 PM']I'm working on it Mert.. [/quote] Sadly until I pay off credit card I can't start working on my end of the bargain! Plus added some positive "complications" which I'll explain in Sept when I see ya...

Some of the old Trace manuals even admit this fact that after about 4 on the volume you won't get any more volume, just clipping. I'm hankering after a Series 6 so badly...

Just bought Russ' Macbook - am typing this on it, hooray for Macs! Cheers man, twas a pleasure

Not sure the shops have the stock yet, think I read on TB that they were delayed til Sept... May be wrong tho

A minor and D minor are the same as C major and F major respectively, starting on different notes... After F major, let's look at Bb major: Bb C D Eb F G A Bb and then G minor: G A Bb C D Eb F G So keep going up in fourths (er, one string up from previous note, same fret) in the major key to get to the next major key. Same for the minor keys. EDIT - dlloyd got there first! EDIT 2: and explained it better

If you can stretch to it I reckon [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25318"]THIS[/url] is a good little rig! (I know I know, I have one so I'm very biased etc, but it's a damn fine sound and suprisingly versatile for such a simple little thing).

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='266280' date='Aug 20 2008, 01:36 PM']F and C are the only notes that can't be flattened. E and B are the only notes that can't be sharpened. Note for all pedants: I know!!![/quote]

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='266241' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:53 PM']Looks like I can probably make it and it's no problem at all to bring the cab and V8. [/quote] Hooray! Ta

I regret selling my MIM Jazz 5. Well, no I don't, I regret not taking out the J-Retro when I sold it. Fool! Hopefully I won't regret selling anything ever again but at some point I suspect a bass or two, plus a rig will have to go (Actually, one bass will definitely go depending on when I can afford the Streamline 5er and when Nik can persuade Mrs Silver Fox to allow a Groove into the home!)

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='264901' date='Aug 18 2008, 08:31 PM']EDIT: Here's the other one... The amp weighs the cab down. [/quote] So glad you posted that, it's made my day to see a V8 again. Need ot see one in the flesh still... Are you able to make the SE Bash and if so can this come along too?
