That's what matters to me. I don't want all my basses the same.

Having had 5h1t experience with Elixer acoustic strings, I would need my 12ft bargepole to touch the brand again. -

Makes sense, if the flats are like the rounds, they look as though they have been aged 2 years in the California sun. -
reggieboomboom started following Vtt relic jazz bass. Blonde heavy relic work.
-
Here is this beautiful vtt relics jazz. Only just got it, but i had the chance to own something very special and had to do it. So this is up for grabs. Lightweight jazz body, entwistle pickups, northwest pots and loom. The neck is a vintage tele bass type, defintely a p bass profile. All in all its lovely thick sound, never planned to sell it but as i say, my dream p bass came up. £20 will cover shipping in a box, but no case or bag im afraid. Ill add more pics later

Hi, Thanks a lot. M AUDIO HDH40 -
I’ll email and ask. Occasionally there’s a server error that slips through. Usually quick to fix. Try the solutions I gave.

Ive tried a few flats over the years. Not really my thing but I love how they feel. IT's were my fav's, I really liked the suppleness and smooth tone, although I still have a set of Chromes that go on every now and then when I want a change but can't afford any new gear lol. IIR I did try La Bella's years ago but found them a bit too old school for me, but I do like the sound of flats when others play them. -
Hi, I'll screenshot the error message next time I try and log in, but I may not even bother - 6 years of technical issues, might just sell the thing once and for all. Definitely not incorrect username etc, I made a whole new account as resetting old passwords is impossible (reset link just takes you to the homepage.. )....

I shouldn't think so (many early mods to cheaper basses like this are fairly poorly executed) - in any case it makes little difference if the strings are centred between the poles. Sometimes it can be because of pick guard shrinkage which pulls the pickup in one direction. For a fretless mod I'd probably put it near the bridge pickup and fill the gap with a ramp. -
loudspeaker started following Ashdown Service
-
Another very satisfied Ashdown customer here, my 18 year old ABM 900 had developed a bit of a scratchy sound at times, I thought it was the volume pot, I called Dave Green, he spent 1/2 hour on the phone going through diagnostic checks with me and then said box it up and send up to me and I will sort it out. Less than a week later the amp was returned with numerous new parts including new pots, new VU meter, knobs and slider caps now looking and sounding brand new. What an amazing company, great amps and such customer service is so rare in todays world

At first I thought the pickups were aligned “by eye”, rather than measurement but then I thought, was it to make the pole pieces more centred on the strings, given the narrow string spacing of the standard bridge? In which case, it was entirely successful! -
steantval started following Ozzy died.
-
Just watched some of the funeral cortège going through Birmingham on the TV, the family stopped by where the floral tributes have been laid and placed some there themselves, you could see they were broken and clearly very upset, there were quite a few cretins in the crowd showing absolute disrespect by chanting and singing Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Oi Oi Oi while this was going on, maybe a bit of silence would have been more appropriate.

Stopping is easy. I've done it loads of times.

And feel is such an odd thing. I was a Pbass guy for years , and missed many opportunities to buy other classic basses at a time they would sell for next to nothing. Back when used meant cheap. I thought that a Pbass was all I’d ever need. I was an idiot. Today , I’ve acquired a wack of other basses that are very different from Fender styled basses. I prefer short scales today. Some have binding or sharp edges , thin necks , thick necks , light , heavy , good looking and ugly. And although something may feel very different or weird when I pick it up , I’ve found that with a little time I can get accustomed to just about anything. And regret passing on some great opportunities simply because they felt different.

Matamp GT120 (not a GT100 after all)
Happy Jack replied to Happy Jack's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Dimensions weren't enough - people now want to know about the weight. According to my incredibly accurate and reliable bathroom scales, the amp head weighs near enough 18Kg, the flightcase weighs 8Kg, and the entire package (including appropriate heavy-duty Speakon cable + power cord) will be roughly 27Kg. -
I spent some years before the internet looking for a later Fireglo 4001 , and eventually found one in Toronto. There were never any for sale here in Halifax. It was just exactly what I hoped it would be , and for some years I was a Ric guy. I’ve had it now for close to thirty years. I just play it at home today , but any time I pick it up it feels perfect. Incredibly stable neck , I’ve only adjusted the truss rods twice in that time. Also managed to find an old burgundyglo set necked 4000. I thought I’d miss the neck pickup and knobs. I was wrong. They are beauties. And despite owning and playing Rics for some years , I still get excited when I see a nice one. They simply do that to me. Still.

I really like it, it's a great price point for a signature model from a brand like Spector and it's pretty unique to their line up. Maple boards with matching headstocks usually doesn't work for me, but there's something about it that I really like, maybe it's the matching purple blocks? I was umming and arring over a Pulse II (in ultra violet - so purple works for me!), but this def throws a spanner in the works!
