  1. Leo's original design didn't have slots and it worked well enough for around six or seven years until the redesign in 57 when threaded barrels appeared. The 51/54 designs are through-body bridges and have a greater break angle than the top-loading 57 variant.
  2. Quite. I played exclusively with a pick for more than thirty years - I only started playing fingerstyle relatively recently, about five or ten years ago. I wish I'd done it much sooner, as of course both techniques are valid and both are very useful. I sometimes use both in the same piece.
  3. Those aren't worth much. People with lots of Watts come across as a bit desperate and needy, if you ask me.

  5. +1 Yes, this. For a while I rocked a G-K MB200 (goes in bass gig bag pocket) and a Barefaced One10 (goes in cajon bag). Very easy. I have a car, but just wanted to experiment with the smallest, most portable, yet usable rig. This was before the advent of the Trace Elliot Elf, which as far as I know is the smallest usable amp head, currently.
  6. Do 'Sad' and 'Confused' Reactions still add a 'Watt' Point? I've not used them for fear of not adding, or even possibly subtracting, a point...

  7. Wow! That looks like a PA system in a box!
  8. Some people seem to have shops, not storage... Under the stairs seems to be a very popular option, and I have the great good luck to 'own' the cupboard under the stairs, to which I've fitted a 5-lever mortice lock. I have to leave enough space to sit down in there and shut the door, for when I need to cry in private.
  9. *SOLD* Eminence Kappalite 3012HO - In A Cab! Here is a rare opportunity to buy an Eminence Kappalite 3012HO - 12", 400W RMS @ 8ohms. The parameters, specs and technical info are here. This Kappa is already fitted in a cab - a Bill Fitzmaurice Jack 12. This is the first Jack 12 I built, the thread is here if you want to see the process. The cab is made to the highest standard from Bill's plans and is 45cm tall, 55cm wide and 45cm deep. It weighs 18kg and is finished in what I'd call 'classic' style with black Tuf-Cab paint and chrome corners (see pics). The cab does show signs of being gigged, but the Tuf-Cab is easy to touch up and the structure is completely sound. I also have professionally-produced badges fitted, I can remove these if you don't want them. It sounds amazing and IT GO LOUD. Don't worry about the fact that this is an 8 ohm cab - it's so efficient you can use it as a one-cab solution with any decent amp. This is a fine opportunity, firstly to buy an Eminience Kappalite 3012HO that has not seen a great deal of use - and has just about been broken in - and secondly to acquire it pre-installed in a really incredible cab which has been designed by Bill Fitzmaurice, with the Kappa specified as the top premium upgrade. It doesn't get any better! Well actually it does, because as I want this to go quickly, I am offering the driver in its cab for just £180 posted. Or you can collect from SE London for £160. When you consider that a new Kappa 3012HO now costs at least £185 on its own, this surely is a very good buy! So get in quick and get yourself a bargain! My feedback is in my sig. CASH sale only, I'm definitely not looking for trades. Payment via bank transfer, please. *SOLD* I thank you!
  10. Oh my God, something's happened in my trousers - at the front, this time.
  11. Yes drop an email to Jason, he'll send you a replacement set.
  12. Or if they want to sound like Tom Waits...
  13. What if you have a RAT cable into your RAT, then another RAT cable afterwards? Do you get a shed-load of distortion? Or a serious rodent infestation? Or both?
  14. You won't want to play any other basses once you get that Wal.
  15. Well obviously. What would be the point, otherwise?

    Oh wait, he's just sent me a note saying you'd be happy with £95 a month for ten months! Get in!!

    Well OK, but don't start delivering me from evil. That would be no fun at all.

    Why does the LORD only allow such basses to appear when I'm skint..?
