    I feel another pilgrimage coming on.

    My Mum was born in Whitley Bay but lived in Haltwhistle for ages

    The pic below shows the DI connections. So once the signal get to the INPUT socket I take a straight feed from the THRU jack back to my amp/cab monitor and the OUTPUT XLR goes to the desk etc. Hope that helps.

    Pray tell me about this cool and fashionable thing, can I acquire one on ebay?

    No problem, I believe that a Super Midget would be just as effective. Certainly my old Gen2 Midget was excellent in this role

    No, I just lie about my age occasionally.

    My YOB too, but manfully resisting as I'm really digging the '66P you sorted for me Si.

    Yeah, we had a debate about the best wig for metal.

    +1 for Luminlay. Have these on a couple of ACGs and it's a great solution.

    I've recently sold by Barefaced cabs for this reason, however the best solution for me has been to invest in a pre-loved Super Compact, which is small light and coupled with a small class D amp Bingo! My set up is now bass into mini pedal board > Radial Bass Stagebug DI > signal to PA and also to "monitor" so I can tweak what I hear without affecting the front of house set up.

    Love the ambition. Well played, and good luck to them.

    For sale is this rather lovely Overwater by Tanglewood Classic Jazz bass. As you can (hopefully) see it is in excellent condition and looking at the serial number it is one of the first batch which had the Overwater QA before being unleashed into the world. Condition is very good with a couple of minor marks that I really struggle to photograph and that's about it. I believe the bodies on these were Poplar and the bass has a one-piece maple neck and rosewood board. The bass weight a shade under 9.5lbs by my scales. The bass now enjoys a Kiogon made V/V/T loom and some new knobs of a better quality. The original V/B/T harness and knobs will be included and you will see why I chose to replace them! Not the best work ever out of China. The bass also has a brand new Fender gig bag. You may see that the bass also has a set of Di Marzio DP126 pickups fitted. A nice fruity P pickup and a hum cancelling bridge p/up that add vastly to the sound coming from the bass. Whilst the original fit P pickup is fine, the J pickup seemed to have a weak output. Talking to few owners this seems to have been a common issue and many of these have had various pickup changes. The price is £150 for the bass with the Overwater pickups. If you'd like the Di Marzio items left in then the price will be £240. Still an excellent value package in my view. I would much prefer to arrange to meet up/deliver/have the bass collected so you can see it in the flesh. If it is to be a courier then I will get it all packed up for you and you can arrange shipment at your convenience. Happy to answer any questions or for anybody to try the bass out. Here are a few pics, please let me know if you'd like to see anything in more detail and I'll do my best: Thanks for looking.

    Damn!

    So that pixie dust you sold me was a complete con then?

    The Nordy is an excellent pickup imho. I have one installed.

    I think it was about Yes MkII. Didn't Bill Bruford play the drums on the recording?

    Assuming I had the talent, then anything from the Graceland album.

    And I had to wait about 2 mins for a coffee this morning.

    Marvellous, well done.

    Just bought a set of the LT4As from Bass Direct who have stock it would seem. Looking forward to giving them a go on a P bass. TIs live on my fretless basses.

    Pictures or it didn't happen. On second thoughts maybe not

    Ash or Alder

    ead replied to Merton's topic in Bass Guitars

    I'm in the Alder camp, although I do enjoy the aesthetics of a nicely grained Ash body. In the context of playing live with a band not sure I can hear a difference though.

    The other P bass in the cupboard has the Nordy NP4 p/up which is very trad sounding and none the poorer for it. I also hear very good things about the Jess Loureiro set: http://jlguitars.eu/shop/index.php?id_product=11&controller=product&id_lang=4

    I use a P with the SPD-3. At first I didn't like the 'aggressive' tone for want of a better word. However I discovered that if I roll the tone off around 1/3 then it really works for me. I play in a classic rock covers band. Hope that helps.
