    TTT for a price drop

    Couldn't find the bass I was checking out on the Japanese site either. A combination of all sems the best bet!

    Just acquired a nice Yamaha BBN5 from Chris. Top bloke to deal with, very helpful and quick to respond to my daft questions. Highly recommended to y'all.

    Good grief, that's two of EJ's bassist gone. Dee Murray passed away some time back in his mid 40's. Tragic.

    Apologies if I'm slow on this but I couldn't find this particular page referenced on BC. If you click on Bass and then type in the model number it gives you interesting (to some maybe) info about production dates, original RRP etc. A bit different to the serial number look up sites and useful when you get given 3 or 4 possible years of maunfacture.

    Sold Dave my ACG preamp. Swift payment, easy to deal with, highly recommended to all BCers.

    Funnily enough I was just wondering the same thing although for £20 I might have a punt anyway.

    Bump for the Talkbass listing

    Are these the active p/ups - sorry if it's a stupid question, not that familiar with EMG gear and some websites are banned at work. I think it's just dawned on me that this is a P/J set when I'm after a J/J setup

    ..and I'm hovering like a fly waiting for the windshield on the freeway. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (I forget exactly which song)

    OK, not sure if I'll have the space for one of those. Is there a suitable pot with two stacked volume controls and do they just get wired up like two independent volumes?

    My personal favourite of this genre: Far away across the field the tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells. Pink Floyd - Breathe (reprise)

    These strings were bought as singles to achieve a good balanced tension set. Cost about £28. I have decided that I prefer flats after all so am going back to those. The gauges are: 40 55 75 100 135 They have been on my bass for about 3 weeks and have been 'noodled' on only. They were on a 34" scale bass with a 3 over 2 tuning peg arrangement. I tend not to trim too short and like to have 3 or 4 turns around the tuners so they should be fine for most basses. If you'd like me to measure the length of the strings please just ask.

    Really good these amps!

    Cheers fellas. I'll investigate further. Still in the pipe dream stage though!

    I'm considering a few options for a passive J style bass one of which is the EMG BQC control. This has a stacked Bass/Treble and stacked mid control pots leaving me one spare hole for volume and pickup blend For such a volume/blend stack what is a suitable pot (does one bit need to be logarythmic and the other linear - values etc.?) and how should it be wired up? All help welcome!

    There was a 5er on evil bay just recently http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item2ec085674b&item=200798463819&nma=true&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&rt=nc&si=54g%252FOS%252B2CBpi4yeoxQ6bgzGVd1U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Hope that helps. I was in contact with the guy and although the listing is finished he was happy to deal off line.

    [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1343992383' post='1758281'] ... The scratches down the back of my SG came from shoving it into a gap behind my acoustic (doh, stap button), most of the dings on my instruments comes from standing up from my chair and knocking them against the table. The bent tuner on my rickenbastard is from whacking the headstock against a shelf in the studio by mistake. The bent pot on my fretless is from it dropping into the table leg as I reached across for a mandolin... [/quote] Does this mean we should be wary about buying basses from you

    How close to the wall were the cans, you can get some weird cancellation effects sometimes.

    Peavy Cirrus BXP 5?

    With the cabs and amp plus some pedals etc must be knocking on £1500 (replacement cost).
