Frank Blank Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 You know what, I'm considering buying a pair of these basses, one fretted, one fretless so I never have to take the ACGs out of the house! 1 Quote

The french bit tends to put the singer off though. We used to do that. I am also the singer and used to phonetically wing it. This was before computers and stuff. I really felt a twatt when a French girl came in to the pub when we were playing it right enough! 1 Quote
la bam Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 First thing I found the best to do on these is: 1. have it in passive mode (switch towards you). 2. Put the pickup blend to middle (you'll feel it click). 3. Master all the way up. 4. Tone (the extra dial under the master volume) to fully open. Itll sing then! 2 Quote

Stingray5 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I dunno, you don't check on BC for a day or two and all hell breaks loose! Well, here's another 'old guy' saying welcome to the 'family' @pepsi-abi. I see you've already received a ton of good advice here (oh, yes, I've read through all 17 bl'min' pages! ) but it looks like you've also done your homework, too, so enjoy and have fun.

lemmywinks Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 That bass looks great, a free gigbag is a bonus too! Is it the Sire one? Quote

Al Krow Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Right, you've had this thing for well over 24 hours now. Isn't it 'bout time you started you're next thread of "Help me choose my first 5 string"? 😁 5 Quote
paul_5 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Congrats on your first bass, lovely looking instrument, but then I’m a sucker for black blocks and binding on a maple neck. 1 Quote
pepsi-abi Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 Sadly still no sign of my cable, strap or wax but this is delays due to the current situation we are in, hopefully later today they will be delivered! hope all is keeping well Quote
