[quote name='paul, the' post='159300' date='Mar 17 2008, 11:17 PM'] you lot have really odd wives I plan for mine to have a vagina.[/quote] Yeah, we all have plans...

I like mine, although rarely use it in anger, since I just dropped everything a step. Seems to work pretty well, as long as you keep your nut lubed (heh) and don't wind too much string round it. Fitting is no prob, mine had coupla studs that locate in the screw holes and a nut type ferrule, others may be different.

Try raising that string a little, see if that sorts it. Not much to lose trying that.

I had one, looked nice, sounded ok, but I didn't get on with the skinny neck at all, so it went.

I'm pretty jealous of that.

Rehearsal with borrow cabs in a coupla hours. This ones just down to D though, should be reasonably sensible, except for loudness. Wouldn't like to call Ben an inexperienced guitarist, leaving sonic space may not be his forté.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='157787' date='Mar 15 2008, 01:09 AM']Have you got the worlds biggest 4x10 or the worlds smallest guitarist?[/quote] We actually do have the worlds shortest guitarist. And the most awesomest drummer too.

My 15s are a Peavey 115BX BW (or something, it says on the back) had is original 4 ohm replaced with a 8ohm speaker, the other is a home made that looks like its been built to same spec (ish) as they are exactly the same size, both ported, the home made has a smaller triangluar port, 3x3x pythagoras. I also own a H&K 4x10, which is a guitarists house so can't look at any firther detail, never intended to sell it so paid no attention before. Edit: I have a Peavey black widow speaker that can go ineither, as yet I've not managed to break either or been dissatified in any way, so have not had them out to look.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='157232' date='Mar 14 2008, 09:49 AM']Well you should have said you'd just wanted the easy but probably incorrect answer, as opposed to the correct answer that may require engaging some brain cells. If you want to forget backline you better be playing gigs where you get seriously nice monitors. Alex[/quote] Theres a correct answer now?

Spade connectors is the way.

Well that got suddenly in depth and complicated. Most useful tip I've had was 'buy a sansamp, forget backline'.

First fretless played was a defretted 6? precision, my bass mentor guy had defretted it in the Jaco era when he upgraded to a Jazz bass.

So the new band wants to be like Sunn O))). Any tips on making the most of my bottom end? I have a Peavey Firebass head (700w at 2ohm) and two ported 15" cabs.

That worked fabulously well. Cheers for that. I can heartily reccomend a Mullard ECC81 in the first channel of a DHA pedal.

Don't forget I have a 4 ohm black widow speaker laying about spare just down the road from you.

I've got one of those in red, really nice, punchy for a passive too. Can't see you being dissapointed if you bought it. Onlt reason I don't play mine much is the 5 string part.

I used meths and some kitchen roll, stinks up less than some things, fine on the cheap guitar finish (poly).

I've just been given a mullard ECC81, if I were to put that in the left position of my VT2, would it give me one channel of warmer, without the grrrr, and the second channel for the overdrive distortion? Or will it make everything go wrong? I'm trying to learn valves through experimentation.

Well, if a Bristolian basschatter can bum me a lift to the bass bash, I'll bring mine.
