    WAsn't the King Crimson guy taping cut down drumsticks to his fingers? Sure I read about it recently on actual paper so musta been a recent mag.
  2. Mr. Foxen
    I have dead strong nails, but there is a sweet spot length that you can control your sound with finger angle, but I generally just cut them all off.

    I've been working my way up to it for the last coupla years, from buying a cheapy and switching everything out to figure how stuff affects to the sound, defretting and refretting, and most recently, I got a outline blank body and used the neck off my first electric to make a new guitar: Problem is my huge accumulation of spare parts and butchered intruments.

    I went Buzzard, stupidly pointy death machine, but also apparently practical when hung on the Ox.

    If you do have to smash up your bass on stage, make sure there is a photographer handy:

    I suspect there is no great call for bottom end hardware. Most people are replacing such things with better, and people making a bass want to use fancy hardware.

    Oh, and I was just considering making the guy another offer. The work needed put it overbudget for me.

    An American luthier I know has got a new line called the Hot Rod Vintage, which are based on his own favourite P bass. He's got custom Kent Armstrong pickups that are quad coil, they look like a humbucker, but you can switch to offset coils for the whole P bass thing.

    Bought the Firebass stack that was advertised hear, did a deal, so ended up with the cabs that I don't really need, as I'm happy enough with the cabs I have. 2x10 with a tweeter, and a 1x15 ported. I'll happily split them, I can probably get them couriered somewhere, but clearly being bass cabs and made by Peavey, thats not ideal. I'll sort pics eventually. Hit me up with offers. Ok, imminent moving means if someone give me £200 for these, they are gone. Heres a pic:

    Aargh, my inner santa already scored me something else.

    Black with tort, and rosewood blocked neck was my plan, shame I don't get on with skinny jazz necks.

    When you take the cold amp inside, a bunch of condensation will form on it, thats water. Water + electrics plugged in = unhappyness. Gotta let it warm up and dry out. Good demo was my first bass that was zebra striped with electrical tape, been sat in an outbuilding at home. Go home for Xmas, and feel the urge, so I got get it for a post dinner thump. Due to hot food and family of breathig and such, water is literally running down it, and all the tape is screwed, and sticks to me and it was pretty nasty. Course electrickery is worse.

    [quote name='queenofthedepths' post='108979' date='Dec 24 2007, 04:43 PM']Surely you could blend it back together (or split it in the first place) with a £1 splitter? I mean, you could do the whole thing with just 2 splitters but the point of the box is so you have a pedal to switch your effects and clean off and on..? I've not tried this myself, but the idea is intriguing - if that idea would work, I might be interested in the pedal[/quote] You can use a £1 splitter to get two outputs to seperate amps if you bimap, and just have to turn volume up a little, but if you use another to put them back into 1 amp it goes funny, I guess cuase they are both connectedand they bleed into eachother, I put it though both halves of a stereo eq like that and it kind of worked, but using a blend pdeal works much better and much less constant level fiddling.
  15. Mr. Foxen
    I don't buy expensive basses, but I would be ready to have it thoroughly check out when it arrives if I did.
  16. Mr. Foxen
    Bump, price drop to £70 collected.
  17. Mr. Foxen
    Gonna get an estimate on trem cavity routing first, then I'll wince and change my mind. Hopefully the cavity route from a twang trem will be same size.

    [quote name='fede162162' post='108549' date='Dec 23 2007, 02:02 PM'][attachment=4300:audere_inside.JPG] updates: i connected the shield wires of each pick up with the whie/grey wire and with the bridge wire. hot and common of each pick up stay in the green box. now it happens something very very strange... if i plug my bass in the PC everything works.. if i plug my bass in my little 25w guitar amp and in my headphone amp.....battery led and Z switch don't work,and the sound is very distorced. this evening i will try with my bass head... but...everything is so weird......[/quote] What are you plugging intot he pc with? Is it one of those stereo jacks, or a 1/4 input? Thatmight be something to do with that difference.

    Item no. 150197376630 Anyone have any clues? Considering ponying up, and having a warlock body I have laying about routed for the ultimate in bad taste. I really don't see it being practical in any way. Apparently it comes with no routing guidelines, but fits like a floyd Rose. I asked: 'Hi we don't have any instructions Because Installing like a floyd rose system also Include springs and claw ,hinge post etc. Thank you for asking'

    Its going to be 200-300 I'm prett sue, dislocated my shoulder in the week, so a loft mission is off right now.

    [quote name='umph' post='108349' date='Dec 22 2007, 10:44 PM']ahh well pics / model etc would be useful is it a sheffield BW? what wattage is it?[/quote] Its the black and red Peavey black widow magnet, basket is marked 4 ohm, its in the loft, no idea how to tell the watts.
  22. Mr. Foxen
    I'm open to offers and suggestions as to fair price.
  23. Mr. Foxen
    Buy my 4 ohm black widow from me. Its a new basket I bought to go with a magnet from a bust one I was given.
  24. Mr. Foxen
    If its the one in Bristol thats been posted here, it has a big nick in the back of the neck right where its annoying, and I don't think the scratchplate is an original, its 1 ply and has holes in the don't correspond to the ones in the bass if it wasn't for those I'd have offered the guy £250 for it having played it.This was an E one.
  25. Mr. Foxen
    And whereabouts are you?
