[quote name='phatbass787' post='149042' date='Feb 29 2008, 04:47 PM']Whats your budget?[/quote] [quote name='bubinga5' post='147742' date='Feb 27 2008, 12:30 PM']I have roughly 500 (but would spend a little more).[/quote]

They look remarkably similar to my cheapy Galveston acoustic bass. It's quite a nice big tone but the fretwork was awful on mine - I had to file every fret down coz I kept shredding my hand to pieces! For the money, tho, go for it!
-
You can change the preamp no prob, I have heard of other people who have done it. What about getting a custom Kingbass with J pickups too, jsut for fun?
-
Yep, you're definitely after Alan's crown -
You're going to be rivalling Alan soon for most things bought and sold via Basschat -
This sounds interesting - keep us posted I've been toying with the idea of getting Jon to make a P for me sometime next year (need to pay off a credit card first!!) so will be interested to see if this happens and how you get on with it!

Original speaker would have been the Celestion 200W jobby, C15T-200 or something I think. £200 - go for it!

[quote name='wal4string' post='145573' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:16 PM']Looking for a swap. I have a 5 String Stingray that I am looking to swap for an equivilant quality 4 string bass. Ideally would like a natural finish bass and nice big fret markers, but anything considered. Will post images if anyone is interested. At the moment bass is at a rehearsel studio. Cheers Ron[/quote] [quote name='Merton' post='145590' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:54 PM']Also needs to be in the For Sale section!![/quote] [quote name='wal4string' post='145591' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:59 PM']Why? It is not for Sale![/quote] But the for sale thread is for trade stuff too - ie a swap Just being an annoying pedantic git, I'll fook off now! -
Also needs to be in the For Sale section!!

They're worthless, give it to me Try [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/trace_operateinstru.shtml"]HERE[/url] for the manual. Series 6 is largely regarded as the last real sh*t hot Trace. So, sell to me for 50p or to someone nice for about £200 probably EDIT: can't find a 2x10 combo in the 7-band Series 6 range tho... Can you post a pic?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='144116' date='Feb 21 2008, 12:34 AM']There's too many to mention really! But Merton's Status Groove 5, Nig's G&L L2500, WalMan's Wal Custom, Luke's Ibanez Fretless and one of Water of Tyne's vintage Fenders quickly spring to mind We can but dream, I suppose.....[/quote] Hehe, was wondering if that'd come up! Only a month to go and you can play it. I'm scared sh*tless you'll hate it I said it in the other thread - Alex's RIM custom 5 will do me

[quote name='Machines' post='143880' date='Feb 20 2008, 06:06 PM']Strictly speaking it is infinite - there is no limit to the smallest movement possible to attain a new position. Sure it won't be noticeable but it is a fair claim.[/quote] Being a pedant, that's not infinite. There are still maximum and minimum positions, therefore a finite number of in between positions, even if you're saying a 1 micron movement means a new position!
-
No. The only way to do it is to change the woofer to an 8ohm one.
-
My Retroactive J Alex's RIM Custom, it looks such a nice elegant, simple design yet tonally flexible bass. Rick Savage's Hamer Scarab, coz I've always wanted one (see 80's looking basses thread).

[quote name='BassManKev' post='143417' date='Feb 19 2008, 10:08 PM']its any note on e string, at extreme boosts on the preamp, in can happen on all string as i said, the fact it still happened when i ran it through recording and speakers shows its not the amp[/quote] Is the key here "at extreme boosts on the preamp"??? Just a thought, maybe you're clipping the preamp, nothing more exciting than that.

[quote name='Sibob' post='143530' date='Feb 20 2008, 09:08 AM']We're a slightly rockier modern covers band and we get plenty of weddings. People who are getting married now are (mostly) the younger generation, IMO they don't want WetWetWet and Robson & Jerome. We're doing a wedding in August where we've asked if we can do some Rage Against The Machine........oh yesss Si[/quote] Very nice! One of our June weddings this year is having a Foo Fighters song for their first dance, that'll be fun I agree with the comments from Thunderthumbs - keep in contact all the time, keeps them from fretting and also (hopefully) avoids any last minute misunderstandings. (edited for smelling pistakes)

Haven't tried them yet, will give them a whirl tonight If you hear a screeching sound from Reigate direction you know what it is
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again - that bass looks amazing. I'm really pleased it sounds as good (or better?) than that. May you have many happy years together
-
Cheers Hans, nice to meet ya
-
I've played most of Phil Mulford's Overwaters, they're lovely. He has a 35" scale on his newer Js which I didn't like coz I'm small but they sound amazing to me and play VERY nicely. Quite a hi-fi tone for a jazz I think.

[quote name='En_Djinn' post='142247' date='Feb 18 2008, 12:30 AM']Well, It says in the blurb "7 band semi-parametric EQ"? and in the specifications only lists 2 band semi-parametric and 2 shelving (but lists Treble +/-15dB Frequency 3.5kHz to 10kHz as shelving :-0) and looks like 3 band semi-parametric and 1 shelving on the fascia? Awesome ;-)[/quote] I spotted that, glad I'm not going mad!
