[quote name='Davetbass' timestamp='1330983028' post='1565915'] How about my Fenderwateroverbird? ........... and a very old cat! [/quote] stop it !

you're gonna need the rest of a preamp with that.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1331149146' post='1568577'] Perhaps his body is too long? [/quote] i doubt it could be any shorter - what would stop his legs fraying at the end ?

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1331137305' post='1568293'] ...they do give a neutral but slightly 'woody' sound to my ears. They do the job just fine. [/quote] i recall the pickup i put in my friend's westone had a 'woody' tone too.

bootiful

leave the dents in. i've heard it's called 'mojo'...not that i believe in voodoo, of course. looks lovely btw - nice bit of wood as they say !

i wonder where jpj got his shirt...

black.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1330956512' post='1565288'] great pickups for the price. [/quote] plus the one. i fitted a KA pickup just like the spoombung has in a friend's westone bass and it sounded great.

probably "she's lost control" by joy division

threads like this make me realise that there are a lot of rather dense musicians around... ...and i'm very glad i've never had to play with any of them. where the hell do you folks dig them up from ?

sold pete my blueberry bass overdrive. a pleasure to do business with. thanks.

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1330455541' post='1557841'] One thing I found is that when I first got it, I set it up ready for band practice, through my practice amp with headphones on. When I actually used it at volume, in a band situation at rehearsals, it sounded completely different [/quote] that's going to happen with any peice of equipment....headphones and speakers are very different fish kettles.

mate - that is a lovely bit of work. very tidy construction and a niiiiice sound. long term ideas ? could you get it all onto one board and put in a 1U case ? team it up with a power amp and you'd be away.

sold vince my bass pod xt live - met me outside work, kept in touch loads. would deffo deal with him again...as should you !

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1330513855' post='1558540'] This thread is actually more embarrasing than when a girl joins and everyone reverts to being 14 year old virgins. [/quote] was thinking the same myself.

having used a sansamp, an ebs microbass II and the mxr for going direct to a PA, the mxr is my favourite. admittedly the distortion channel is a little limited, but i use mine as a volume boost - i add a little more gain and blend a tiny amount of the distortion (which is set on the lowest setting) to the main signal. viola - a little kick in your sound for those bits where you need a bit more volume.

i always take transcriptions with a pinch of salt. if i can i'd rather work it out by ear, as i'm sure that makes you a better bass player...or something
