[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1342900169' post='1742641'] You could just split the signal on the pedalboard. I do. [/quote] But he wants to be able to split the pup paths not a single output. I think using a stereo jack to split them is a great idea. Not sure what detrimental effects may come of sending to two different amp but using the same neg rail will do though, if anything?

[quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1342869753' post='1742080'] OK, OK, I will try with more acid and more rubbin [/quote] Lay off the acid man. That's probably what made you think this was a good idea in the first place. (still haven't seen the pics yet)

A lot of it comes from the active circuit though. You can bung a MM pup in a bass at the sweet spot and it won't sound on the money until you have a genuine MM active eq shaping the sound.

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1342865562' post='1741975'] Well, Fender basses are most certainly fashionable. I watched some of the T in the park highlights on the box last night, I saw maybe the first 7 or 8 bands and [b]every[/b] one of them was using a Fender bass. Mostly Jazzes, although there were a couple of precisions. ... [/quote] I saw a guy playing a SUB... with the original p/g. O_o

Kind of a drastic reaction to a scratched p/g don't you think? Look forward to checking out your pics when I'm at a pc.

I hear 'rays all the time (a bit like "I see dead people" perhaps ) I find their tone pretty unique. Phat with that separate marblesy mid "oh" vowel overtone for extra projection and sometimes, depending on the mix you "hear" the frets too. I love the sound of mine... it's a shame I don't gig it really. edit : oh predictive text, one of these days *shakes fist*

I think the reason he does it too all the trem guitars he gets his hands on is because they can be a pain to set up quick. You've got to have great perseverance doing it on a real cheapo.

The stove references are pertaining to a thread from a few days ago. It's like saying "I don't know" on here. Nothing cheap, nothing personal. Just our humour.

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1342803868' post='1741330'] Seriously though, this is it. I don't understand lots of things; the obsession with b*llocks like TOWIE, why some people think Beyonce makes good records, the Crankies, the Chuckle Brothers, why some people like gherkins, Mick Hucknells "singing" (I use the term loosely), why nobody else thinks Angelina Jolie has horrible arms, ad infinitum. It's just down to personal taste. To use my age old analogy, just because my shoes feel comfy to me doesn't mean they'll fit you. [/quote] +1 especially Angelina's spindly veiny forearms spoiling an otherwise damn perfect package. But nobody disses the Crankies on my watch... they were .... well .... fandabidozy. Not.

[quote name='VTypeV4' timestamp='1342797209' post='1741158']...I'll stick to my Warwick thanks [/quote] That's just it. Horses for courses. To me Warwicks look like perfectly good basses but with a dildo for an upper horn. Hey fine when your comfortable with your own sexuality like.

Don't care, long as I get one.

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1342796245' post='1741135'] "Please see my other auctions" [/quote] Hahahahahahah I wonder what household items that last one is made from. As for the bass?... nice idea poorly conceived... totally over priced.

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1342790016' post='1740980']Why does no-one ever mention Lemmy when suggesting a list of Ric players? Don't you like him? (I'm a bit fuzzy from a pub lunch, so excuse me if I seem a bit blunt ) [/quote] Big Lemmy fan... but maybe because he plays his Ric's like guitars that he doesn't get all that much recognition from us lot who tend to play counter melodies (or something... I'm nae great on the theory side of things)

The very first bass I ever played was a Ric. My step-dad was a well known bassist in the local music scene and it is his. I have no idea what model it is (I probably last saw it over 20 years ago). I remember it being a faded light blue with a very discoloured binding, probably very old seeing as he'd been gigging since the 60s. Grudgingly he let me learn my first tunes on it... before I turned to guitar. It's probably for this reason why any Ric (or any bass for that matter ) I've played since doesn't feel uncomfortable to me, although I can see why it could for others.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1342733861' post='1740324'] You're struggling with the range of makes suggested? I think people's brains are really cooking to guess this one. [/quote] Boom boom. Nice one.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1342766918' post='1740512'] 2 EQ Rays are the best! [/quote] Hear hear!

I like the Ric sound but I find it can be reproduced quite easily (sometimes by mistake) by other basses.
