What a lovely retro rig - quality. Not sure on the choice of lager though (that Sound City needs a Watney's Party Seven next to it - period detail is important).

[quote name='bajistaman' post='1192949' date='Apr 8 2011, 03:14 PM']Thanks for the info! Have you had any issues since then?[/quote] Hi, no problem. No further issues at all - a fantastic amp though weight isn't particularly welcome. I use a db680 as a preamp too so the combined weight is a bit of a joke.

Absolutely lovely Clarky - well done! i'd keep the guard on and reinforce the jack. The old Brazillian board looks fantastic with the clay dots. This is an absolute classic and one of my favourite looks - I'm very envious!

Just received a pair of straplocks from John - possibly the easiest and fastest deal in the history of BC. Advertised at 12.00 one day, arrived at 9.00am the next! Fantastically friendly communications throughout - suberb packing and the most rapid of deliveries. Cheers John - all the help is very much appreciated

[quote name='bajistaman' post='1192326' date='Apr 7 2011, 09:56 PM']Will report back once the transformation is done, it should be simple ive been told but there was a long thread here in BC about an issue with the transformation[/quote] I suspect that you're referring to my thread in 'amps and cabs' - the transformation requires replacement of the circuit breaker switch (a £75 unit as far as I can remember) and some internal re-wiring. Be careful with placement of the jumper switch and ensure that you have the thermistor in place. A bit of effort will deliver immense reward - probably my favourite amp head (well, this and the Epifani ul502). I'd agree entirely on the double handled rack case and the trolley. I'm thinking about a shockrack with castors. The DB750 is immensely heavy (I had to carry mine for half a mile from the Parcelforce depot when it arrived - 'absolutely knackered).

Absolutely lovely set-up - one that would grace any stage, anywhere in the world.

Protec Contego would be my choice - excellent protection and reasonably priced (around £75). I have an iGiG and a Mono - both excellent bags but much more expensive than the Protec and possibly not quite the same level of protection (for the body and front/back of the neck at least).

One day I'll get a proper image of this

Love the understated simplicity of the design allied with extremely classy finishing and attention to detail. If it sounds and plays anything like as good it looks, it's a very formidable instrument!

QUOTE (OzMike @ Mar 13 2011, 05:04 AM) * If you haven't listened to the (IMHO) classic and tasteful use of the technique, and 'hate it', then it's a matter of not being educated and informed. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1160135' date='Mar 13 2011, 06:17 AM']Ha ha ha ha...love it,[/quote] Hahaha - me too: brilliant! Condescending, patronising and ironic in equal measure!

Here you go and less than a fiver (I've had the black version): [url="http://www.gamlinsmusic.co.uk/musical-instruments/nutswashers/item/felt-washers-white-8271/"]http://www.gamlinsmusic.co.uk/musical-inst...ers-white-8271/[/url]

I've had (and still have) several basses with fretted ebony boards. I find the tone - in general - to be bright and very clear across the spectrum (from deep lows through mids and into the highs). Of course, there are many factors that affect tone, but ebony is my favourite for boards because of its clarity and the quality that it - seems to - afford to the fundamental. My current ebony boarded basses are Alembics so there's a lot going on besides the board - there is a real complexity to the tone though, and I'm convinced that some of this is down to the board.

Wow - absolutely lovely - great idea!
