klutz Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Just wanted to say hello. I'm a friend of jaybass 70 (who has been helping me try acquire a Rickenbacker recently) and having drooled over some of your pics and reviews feel as if I've got to know a few of you already. Hopefully the right bass will turn up for me soon. In the meantime, hi! Quote

I came here only to complain about you not having uploaded the vid of the drive to Bolton on YT yet, and now this ... Congrats! This is just great. I hope you have or soon get the amp to do it justice. Wait ... How did you type that without putting it down? Quote

[/quote] I jus let it sustain for a while n typed quickly It's mainly for recording, gonna need to pick some brains on here re stereo and some plug in suggestions for each channel. I have access to a tidy Trace Elliott whenever I need it but figure a straight DI of the neck pup and a marshall guitar amp or Pro Tools fx might jus work for what I'm after. I blame it all on listening to Chris Squire when I was 12 Quote
