[font="Century Gothic"]Howdy All Need to practice your Double Bass but want to be quieter and still play with the same intensity? Or has a new piece you're playing got a direction for con sordino? Sounds like you need a mute! Made of wood, this bass mute is the classic three prong style. It's designed primarily for performance muting; by attaching it to the bridge, it dampens the instrument's vibrations and results in a "softer" sound. It is attached to the top of the bridge with one "finger" between each pair of strings. Since bass bridges can vary in thickness, you may need to sand the interior surfaces of the mute, or your bridge, to ensure an appropriate fit to your instrument. The opening is about ¼ inch. I've got three Double Bass Bridge Mutes for sale is 'as new' condition, surpless to my requirements!![attachment=8564:P1010035.JPG] Only [b]£9.00 [/b]Each Posted.[/font]

Well, in a bid to clear more room at home here's another bass of mine which requires a new loving home. Its a P Bass copy by Vintage. Its their higher quality model, in a vintage white (kinda an nice cream more so than white), with brass bridge saddles, Wilkinson Bridge and Wilkinson P Bass Pick-ups. I've retro-fitted with a nice set of Roto FLAT wound strings - Sounds GREAT!!! Condition - as new. Here's the spec and pics off the internet.... Vintage V4 Bass Series Body: Eastern Poplar Neck: Hard Maple – Bolt On Fingerboard: Rosewood Scale: 34"/864mm Frets: 20 Neck Inlays: Pearloid Dot Tuners: Wilkinson® WJBL200 Bridge: Adjustable Pickups: Wilkinson® PB x 1 (M) WPB Hardware: Chrome Controls: 1 x Volume/ 1 x Tone V4 Pickup This classic ‘split coil’ pickup design, powered by Alnico V magnets for maximum low end tone, is very much in keeping with the authentic looks and feel of this style of versatile and capable bass guitar. V4 Bridge The heart of a good bass sound lies with the string anchoring, and the V4’s bridge makes sure that’s the way it stays. Face mounted and fully adjustable, the rear loaded strings pass over the V4’s chunky brass bridge saddles for maximum bottom end tone. [attachment=8563:v4vw_05.jpg] RRP is [b]£179.00[/b] Selling for [b]£70[/b] (POSTED IN THE UK) Please add [b]£10[/b] for a suitable [u]as new gig bag[/u] [color="#FF0000"]or [/color]I have a as new hard case which I'd chuck in for an extra [b]£20[/b] - This would be better for posting to you anyway. Paypal, cheque or cash all cool. As is pick-up or trial in Eastleigh (Nr Southampton, Hampshire) Keep it low Greg

Right, chaps (and lasses). What i'm trying to do is blend a wet (with effects) signal and a direct (no affects) signal to my amp. Is there a way I can use my STEREO / Twin channel Alesis 3630 rack compressor to do this. Ideally, I'd like to compress prior to one line going to the effects pedalas, but I guess this makes it harder. I am trying to avoid using a LS2 pedal for example. There must be a way of rigging the compressor up to do this, and it would also serve the function of blending each channel on the fly mid gig for example, using the seperate channel volume controls. Does any of this make sense to anyone? Greg

When's it free - could it makes its way down south please? Thanks Greg

My first pedal I got was a DOD chorus pedal - great for a thick lush sound in slower songs For the RHCP stuff, how about an Envelope filter/flanger? Greg

Thanks for all your advice chaps. I've managed to get a suitable battery from these guys [url="http://www.barden-uk.com/"]http://www.barden-uk.com/[/url] for less than £15 which is good (I think?) and they were just up the road from me too!! Think they do mail order if anyone else is interested. The battery fitted well - nice and snug so won't rattle about and works just fine. It does charge up when the amp is plugged in, even if the power switch on the front is swithed off. I can also see this amp serving me well for jam nights too - no need to fight over one or two plug sockets on stage!!! [u][b]ONE LAST QUESTION FOR ANY ELECTRICIANS:[/b][/u] With the battery connected internally, if this runs flat, can I connect an external battery to the exterior metal contacts on the back of the amp, or will this connecting of two batteries be; bad news / blow up / damage the amp / damage the batterys? Greg

Howdy all, I'm probably going to do some fun busking in the summer months with some friends - and I plan on using my PJB amp taking use of the battery facility. What i'd like to know is where you get these batteries from and what types/makes you can use (all the links on the web are for American sites). Also, how long should each charge last for with a medium to high volume use. Also, how do you charge the battery and could you connect up a spare external battery without disconnecting the internal battery ??? Thank Q And Happy Easter all Greg

In recent months I've been 'experimenting' with plectrum use. With lots of trial and error, DON'T just go for a heavy plectrum, as previously mentioned. Also, personally I've found a traditional shaped plectrum easier to use. I've settled on: (White) Dunlop .88mm Tortex "The Wedge". Nice texture and sound. Good Luck Greg Link for ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24-x-dunlop-wedge-guitar-picks-0-88mm-3-79_W0QQitemZ220208278982QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220208278982"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24-x-dunlop-wedge-gu...tem220208278982[/url]

I use Genz Benz Neox cabinet in the 2 X 12" form. Great cab, light and portable. Love the sound too, projects really well. Owned for two years now, and has stood up to gigging very well. The twin handles on the top corner make for lifting in and out of vans/cars very easy. Spec here: [url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=1436&sid=426&cid=96"]http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid...=426&cid=96[/url] Greg

My status S2 Classic thru neck. Mint since I brought it new in 2004. Then, in last two weeks, for one [b]ducking[/b] reason or another (don't want to talk about it ) - SIX, yes SIX laquer dings on edge, side, bottom - AND I was being so so careful (like usual), but as its my working bass, it was aways bound to happen. [color="#FF0000"][font="Lucida Sans Unicode"]You wait four years for a bus to come along then six come at once.[/font][/color] Gutted, but now she is earning her name of 'classic' I guess. Greg
