[quote name='Platypus' post='858733' date='Jun 6 2010, 11:23 AM']Just lifted this photo off TalkBass - seems there will be a Berg AE212 4 ohm, cab out soon ..[/quote] Why do they do this to me? Arghhhh.

How was my gig last night? Very different. Recently joined 5 others in an accoustic jug band. The last two weeks Tuesday night's accoustic jams were the rehearsals and last night we did about an hour at a local festival which was raising money for the Chase Children's Hospice in Guildford. The audience seemed to like it and we have subsequently been given offers of other gigs. Band comprises ukeleles, guitars, banjos, violin and for the first time ever, me on my very cheap double bass. Definitely need some decent strings, tweak it a bit, maybe invest in a smaller amp (MB F1 and Epi UL112 was a bit overkill) and most importantly try and improve my technique..

Sad as this siiituation is, what about the NHS which has treated a number of us succesfully.

Jack, talk to Alien (Andy). He made one for me to fit to one of Higgies pedals a couple of years ago.

The signal going to a powered monitor is typically a line-level signal. Depending on the mixer and the monitor it can be balanced or unbalanced but must be screened. Mic cables is best for this however an instrument lead is equally suitable in cases where both ends are unbalanced. Certainly do not use a speaker lead as they have no screening, will pick-up interference, can become microphonic and can potentially create howl-round. An unscreened speaker lead is only suitable for connecting a power amp to a speaker.

Go and talk to Joe White in Farnborough Michael.

I use Lo-Riders on all my basses. Superb on the Status necked Sr5.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='844044' date='May 21 2010, 12:43 PM']Surely the p/g wouldn't fit if this were the case.[/quote] Could be if it was custom made to fit a non-standard bass with a different bridge.

Looks to me as if the pick-up is too far back. Please can you take off the scratch plate and take a photo of the bare body from the neck to the bridge.

[quote name='faceman' post='843927' date='May 21 2010, 10:58 AM']Talk about luck! I did a post on the EB forum and fellow has emailed me and offered me a pre-EB bridge for $150 with a brand new mute assembly. He said it's got hollow saddles so it's pre-EB but not through-body stringing, which is what I need! It's used with some scratches and a little rust in some areas but overall very good condition for its age. It has the mute screws but not the mute spring assembly. Said he has an assembly he has one he can add on to it the deal as well. Thoughts? He has said he would throw in a new set of the two large screws that are on either side of the saddles but said I would have to check your bass to see if the original bushings for those two screws are still in the bass. What are these?![/quote] Well done. Very lucky to find the bridge. Here's a picture of the bridge on mine with the two large screws that hold the bridge to the body clearly visible.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='841528' date='May 18 2010, 10:59 PM']Ill PM you the details.[/quote] Thanks.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='841521' date='May 18 2010, 10:54 PM']Yes, ive already given it to the OP. The thing is my cab had two new drivers when i sold it so i doubt its the same one. And it was a couple of years ago now.[/quote] Reason I ask is that I have a UL212 that I acquired from a BCer last year. I'm wondering if it's your old one.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='840169' date='May 17 2010, 08:44 PM']Ill go through my PMs and see if i can find the buyer. Im pretty sure he sold it on though.[/quote] Do you know the serial number of yours?

[quote name='davidmpires' post='840771' date='May 18 2010, 12:51 PM']Now up until now I put the songs on my pc and have to use two headphones to hear the bass on one coming from the amp and another one coming from my pc with the song I’m learning. Now I want to be able to use just one, what’s the best way to do it? And cheaper way. I want to be able to mix my bass with my pc so I only need one set of headphones and stop disturbing my OH with the sound of the amp. Any suggestions?[/quote] If your amp has an FX loop then take the FX send and mix it with the PC output and then return the mix to the FX Return and have your headphones just plugged into the amp. You can do this with a simple mixer or even a matrix of restistors.
