Tibz Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Hello Basschat! Got directed here by a fellow bassist when I mentioned some projects I'm wanting to do. First off:[list] [*]23 year-old multi-instrumentalist, but chiefly a bassist. [*]Own 3 three basses: Ibanez SR505; Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass HB; Epiphone Viola Bass [*]Two rigs: TC Electronic BH250 head with RS112 cab (current); Behringer Ultrabass head with Peavey 2x10 cab (old busted). [*]Bassist in [url="https://www.facebook.com/thepastures"]The Pastures[/url] [/list] I have two planned projects involving two of my basses. #1. Fairly simple - add a second pickup to my Jaguar. The current pickup is cool for what it does (kind of trebley snarl), but I also want something closer to a Jazz Bass pickup closer to the neck, but also an active like the current one. #2. Probably ridiculous and not worth it, but I want to turn my Viola Bass into something of a tiny upright bass. I intend to make it fretless, and use a piezo pickup (or similar) to hopefully take advantage of the hollow body. Plus, it's always good to network with other bassists Edited November 29, 2015 by Tibz Quote

Matt P Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Welcome from another Newcastle bassist, if you're in need of any contacts for tech's to carry out routing or wiring just shout, we've got a few really top people locally. I'd expect that there might be a bass bash in the not too distant future as well so you could come along and meet some of us in person. have you seen the North east bass bin group on facebook yet?

Tibz Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Cheers for the warm welcome guys I'm gonna do some digging around on the forum to see what tips people have suggested for projects similar to mine (defretting for example). Also just went and joined North East Bass Bin at your suggestion Matt A meet-up would be awesome too! Quote
