    It sounds like a misunderstanding somewhere along the line to me. The distributor "quoted" in the TB thread was probably referring to the Corvettes we already know about.

    Seems like third hand hearsay at the moment- I couldn't find any sign of it on the Warwick site.

    [quote name='BottomEndian' post='840725' date='May 18 2010, 12:18 PM']I much prefer the Music Man wheel-thing down at the heel. You can adjust the truss rod with pretty much anything, as long as it fits in the holes. No need to find the right Allen key![/quote] +1!

    Yep, Elixirs. I have them on all my basses- they're all about 9 months old and still sound good as new. I like their brightness as I have no problem rolling the treble off.

    [quote name='foal30' post='840374' date='May 17 2010, 11:39 PM']often I have to play it to transcribe it because my ears are catching up so it's not a reading tool per se ... generally I am not sure what I do with transcriptions it's just something you do because deep down it's good for you I don't need to know why, it just is.[/quote] Very poetic.

    Exactly.

    Tubular bells? (I feel a song coming on...)

    Bump for the two cards.

    Hello, Here we have my Washburn WG-587V 7 string guitar. Tuned BEADGBE, this plays well and is in excellent condition. I've included pics of the only wear I can see on it- a small chip on the lower horn (apparently a manufacturing fault as there's a clear coat over it) and a bit of playing wear on the treble side of the neck from frets 18-24. The rear cavity cover, truss rod cover and tremolo arm are all included, and I'll also include a basic gigbag. -Licensed Floyd Rose -Metallic silver/green finish with matching headstock. - 1 Volume, 1 tone (which can be pulled up to coil tap the humbuckers) and a 5 way pickup selector switch. -24 frets -Neck is presumably maplewith a rosewood fingerboard; body is basswood. You can view my Basschat feedback [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21130&hl=velvetkevorkian"]here[/url]. Ideally, I would like to trade this for a hard tail 7 string of similar value- I don't have a lot of cash available at the moment but I want to try different tunings, which the Floyd makes difficult. Might be interested in other stuff: baritone scale 6 strings, MIDI foot controller, Boss dual footswitch, multi-FX, feel free to try others. Failing that, I'll put a cash price of [s]£170[/s] £150 ONO. I'm also looking for a Hipshot Extender (for bass) to fit a GB-7 type tuner, preferably in gold. Postage in the UK should be around £25, or a local deal in Glasgow or nearby is fine. If you're local and want to try it out, feel free to ask and we can arrange something. Cheers Kyle

    That's about right (possibly slightly generous) for a Zeller IME.

    I think the one player who's most influenced me would be Billy Sheehan, although mainly in a technical sense- I know none of his lines/songs but he inspired me to work on my three finger right hand technique.

    [quote name='flyfisher' post='833381' date='May 10 2010, 06:23 PM']It's an interesting idea - I'd not heard of applying different effects to different frequencies and mixing the result back. I wonder if anyone has ever bothered to wire each string pick-up separately, which would allow different effects to be applied to each string. Not sure I could get my head around all the options and possibilities that would allow. Mind you, I don't use any effects anyway so a single pedal would probably confuse me. [/quote] RMC do a splitter box for use with their piezo pickups which can do this, as can things like the Axxon (sp?) midi converters and the Roland V-Bass. All of these require specially wired piezos or a split pickup like a Roland GK-3B.

    Nah, if you want ghetto straplocks the rubber bits from Grolsch bottles are the way to go.

    She cannae fire while cloaked, cap'n!

    Short answer? Yes.

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='832136' date='May 9 2010, 01:06 PM']I've always thought the Big Al to be another great piece of design from EBMM. I don't want one personally, but I can definitely see the appeal. Luckily, all basses don't have to look like they were designed in the late 50's - early 60's. More players should dare to be a little different & try playing something striking, cool and fresh today! [/quote] To me the Big Al looks exactly like it was designed in the late 50s/early 60s! It looks like it ought to be stuck to a Cadillac, and not in a good way IMHO. I guess YMMV...

    BCer 7string has a one string bass...

    Thanks for the replies folks. I think what happened was actually due to my RH thumb being tense from playing a week's worth of double bass in a show- I'm a bit out of practice with the bow and that left my arm with a bit of tension. Been practising since and not had any problems. Moral of the story- stay relaxed! Cheers Kyle

    I was gifted a subscription for my birthday last month- enjoying it so far (and I flogged the free strings on here!). There are some horrendous typos though- markbasssuperprodibox (sic ) being the worst one I noticed.
  23. velvetkevorkian
    Just to verify, I read Dood's advert (wishfully ) and have just checked again and some has gone missing. Very odd.

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='826842' date='May 3 2010, 09:14 PM']Chris, my opine FWIW is that if the idea of splitting the wire or disturbing the solder is likely to bring you out in hive because you are devaluing it then dont do it. If its not that, then de-solder it and get on with the job - as prospective owner buying a '64 of someone that claimed it was original I'd be well p!ssed off if I found out that you'd put a pre in it anyway (and it doesn't matter how good you are disguising, it would be pretty easy to see if most of the electrics have been disturbed). So to me you have 2 options only i) get on with or ii) leave it well alone. Deceiving a future purchaser (or even trying) further down the line isn't worth your reputation (or worse). Bob.[/quote] My thoughts precisely.

    Good point, I forgot what a pain it is to get the spike into the middle.
