    Someone on here was looking for one of these, a while ago, well, as part of a clear out, I've stuck my copy on ebay with a 99p start. Listing [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180330402347"]Here[/url] if anyone is interested. See the Artists/Track listing below [attachment=20585:trace_ellio1t.jpg] [attachment=20590:trace_elliot3.jpg]

    [quote name='BigRedX' post='405468' date='Feb 10 2009, 04:09 PM']If you watch the video on their site about how Hiscox cases are made you'll know why that isn't at all feasible.[/quote] YesI see, good job I didn't start hacking mine around!! That bloke on the video can certainly talk, though :blink:

    [url="http://www.hardcase.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1"]Hardcase[/url] do interesting guitar cases, but I'm not sure of the prices, or availability. I did wonder about taking the innards out of a Hiscox case and seeing if a flightcase manufacturer could supply a custom high density foam insert, tailored the shape of my bass, but convinced myself it'd be too expensive and never followed it up I resorted to this, in the end, a couple of seat belt comforter thingies (£2.99 at Tesco!) and hot glued them into the case to stop the bass moving about [attachment=20029:DSCF0001.JPG] [attachment=20030:DSCF0002.JPG] Not pretty, but does the job

    I had a bass once with brass side dots, they showed up pretty well, but just looked like a bit of welding rod stuck in there. Being an exponent of the "improvised repair technique" (or Bodge for short), that'd do for me

    Here's an interview with him, he briefly mentions the clash stuff at about 5 mins in

    Quite simple for me, really - I have never had an off the shelf instrument that I haven't needed to modify in order to improve some aspect of it. As rightly pointed out, there are some extremely talented luthiers out there, making the choice very difficult, but what clinched it for me was that Alan at ACG responded to my emails within minutes every time, regardless of how dumb my questions probably were!!

    You might like to think about an [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=2"]ACG Filter preamp[/url], designed in conjunction with John East, these sound fantastic on a fretless (and fretted! )

    A bit late, now, but here's a great [url="http://www.icixsound.com/iv/view_video.php?viewkey=5a2e075a1a4a6e1b9770"]Carpeting tutorial[/url] Oh and if you paint the surface with black paint underneath where the joins will go, it kind of disguises any gaps. you can see where I painted along the intended joins [attachment=19615:20july1edit.jpg]

    [quote name='SimBass' post='387142' date='Jan 21 2009, 09:10 AM']@andyonbass Thanks for the pic...its really good to see the stuff actually on a cab. Any tips on getting the stuff on as neat and tidy as yours is?[/quote] Sorry I didn't reply, I've only just seen your post (I think I need to adjust my email notification settings However it looks like you've done a grand job, anyway I did find that my second cab was an improvement on the first but I still managed to glue some carpet to my shoes!!

    The CPC stuff is fine, I used it on my O10.5s [attachment=19003:25sept2.JPG]

    About a year ago I convinced myself I needed a compressor, so after owning a DHA VT1 purist and being very happy with it, I decided to get a DHA standard compressor. Guess what? I used it once and didn't like it! Its been sat in the drawer for the best part of a year, now so I reckon I might as well move it on. I also bought the PSU off of Dave, which is included. I reckon fifty quid plus a fiver for shipping is a reasonable asking price, and I'm taking a bit of a hit here so I cant go lower I'm afraid. Its the unpainted one, I'll get a photo up in a bit! I think there was a review of one of these on here, a while back Cheers Andy

    Have you got a cash price in mind for the status? I have the fretted version in the same colour and I reckon the missus wouldn't notice!! :brow:

    [quote name='Pookus' post='366416' date='Dec 30 2008, 05:20 PM']Just need to figure out how to set up my router to cut 10inch holes.[/quote] This is how I do it, using part of the side fence. Just remember to screw the centre pin all the way through into the supporting piece, otherwise it will go all wobbly when you complete the circle! [attachment=17863:DSCF0001.JPG]

    [url="http://www.stagebeat.co.uk/P/6839/PEAVEY+BASS+GUITAR+AMPLIFIER+MICROBASS+00456032"]Stagebeat[/url] are doing the microbass for under fifty quid at the moment. i've been using one for years, great for home practice and rehearsals when the drummers missus wont let him out to play!
  19. andyonbass
    He sings too! I reckon this is great, but lose interest when the drum solo starts, and again during his bass solo

    Hi Kev I am the lucky owner of two ACG's and I have to say, the asymmetric neck profile on mine are really comfortable and easy to get around on, and I think most people who have played them voiced the same reservations, but were pleasantly surprised. The Recurve shape balances perfectly, whether standing or sitting and doesn't slide off your lap at all. I've been gigging mine week in, week out for over a year, now, and couldn't be happier. I'm GAS free these days!! I'm down in Swindon, and if you are ever down this way you're welcome to try them Cheers Andy [attachment=17159:DSCF0001.JPG]

    You could try [url="http://www.basslinepublishing.com/Books/FunkDiscoGrooves/tabid/60/Default.aspx"]This[/url], Phil, depending on how much time you have
  22. andyonbass
    thanks, guys, you're right, i'd probably get more if I were to sell the parts, but its just too nice to dismantle!

    I bought this off of NielB a few months ago, with a view to my daughter learning to play. However, the realisation that you have to actually make an effort, and to be fair, it is a bit big for her, means it has been standing idle most of the time, which is a shame, 'cos its a bloody nice sounding and easy playing instrument. I'm tempted to keep it for myself, but I know it still wont be getting used, as all my playing is done on 5ers these days. I've put a fender type decal on (see pics), because the original peeled off. Its in excellent condition with just a barely noticable scuff on the top edge. Given the mods (see specs below) I reckon £150 plus packaging and shipping is a reasonable price. Specs: Photo quilt top in blue Maple neck and board with white block markers, inset, not stick on. White pearloid plate (original, so fits perfect) Wizard 64 pups Leo Quann Badass 2 bridge Replacement GOTOH tuners [attachment=16047:DSCF0012.JPG] [attachment=16048:DSCF0008.JPG] [attachment=16050:DSCF0010.JPG]
