ahpook

the 201's fine choice. i've got them on two of my basses.

i had to replace the jack socket in my jazz bass, so i reasoned that if i used a stereo socket, and wired the shield and ring contacts together i'd get a better grip and contact. ...it's it does - it feels a lot snugger that a mono socket (ahem). just thought i'd share.

you can prolly pick up a 9v ac supply at maplins...i'm no expert on ac psu tho...would it need to be regulated or smoothed a certain way ?

be pretty easy to build one...

but if i took my bass on a plane and played it in flight...wouldn't that make me, say...400mph faster than him ?

steve severin almost always uses heavy chorus, and most other moldulation fx quite a bit too.

i used to regularly gig with a 150W trace head...never had any problems being heard. maybe it's trace elliot magic !

well, i got one...i'll let you know how i get on when i get it home... mind you, if it just makes some weird noises i'll be pretty happy.

all basses should be black.

If you go too far it will rattle, but you can put a thin bit of plasitc under as a shim.[/quote] there's a shim in there already, as it was world of buzz when i tried it without... so a wee bit of trial and error is the best way...?

if it's new, talk to the people you got it from...if it's making buzzing noises whatever you do to it then it's broken. sorry...hope you get it sorted.

yep, never seen one of those before !!! a rare beast indeed.

[quote name='odub' post='290976' date='Sep 24 2008, 04:16 PM']I wouldn't feel right taking something cheap because someone needed the money and so had to sell a much loved bass.[/quote] i wouldn't.

i'm getting very tempted to grab a few bargains while i can. spesh for a stingray...

can't add anything to the chord question, but guy garvey's got an amazing voice... "station approach" from 'leaders of the free world" can, given the right circumstances, make me blub like a baby...

ok....let's get the "ahems" and "oo-errr missus" out the way first ok...here's the problem. i bought a westone from dangerboy a while back and as ti didn't have a nut, stuck one on without much thought, but now i notice that the intonation is off on the first few frets, and i'm guessing this may be down to the nut being the wrong height. anyone confirm that this might be the cause ? and how do you work out the correct height for a nut ?

if you like a lot of thickness in your bassline, join our club !
