  1. Just purchased a 32" medium  scale Warwick star bass

    i was looking for a hard case and couldnt seem to find any  reasonable priced ones online

    i then tried it in my hofner verythin shortscale  bass  case and it fits it great ,  problem solved

    so anyone wanting a hard case thomman do them its the Hofner H64/24 Bass case

    iv just ordered another one.

     

    also fitted a set of Thomastik Short Scale strings To the star bass , they fit perfectly

    they feel and sound great   Thomastik Jf324 .

  2. Nice looking bass i have  been looking for one of these in the butterscotch finish

    but that blue looks like a realy nice finish.

    unfortunately dont have the funds at the moment .

  3. does anyone know where i can purchase a gold pickup cover for a mex 50.s classic precision
    all the ones listed on ebay are too small it needs to be approx 55mm wide to cover the pickups
    all the ones i can find are 51.5mm they just dont fit properly.
    thanks

  4. Just been surfing the net to try and find a lightweight alternative to my
    ampeg 4x10 stv cab and head,
    Has anyone tried these Bugera combos , they claim its 1000w into 1 x 15 speaker
    are they realy that powerful?

  5. Thanks for all the info and advice
    i have decided to try a Tomsline Aroma Octpus Pedal
    its a budget made in China pedal, but seems to have the options im looking for
    il let you know how it performs when i have tried it in a live Band situation

  6. Im looking for a basic octave pedal, 1 and 2 octaves up
    not realy looking to use it for sub bass or octaves down etc
    and i dont need all the other intervals or effects that most pedals come with.
    Has anyone tried any of the main contenders, EH pog, digitech bass wammy , tc electronics etc

  7. Chowny CHB1 semi acoustic Bass guitar

    Short Scale 30” set neck
    2 x Artec pick ups Tone and volume for each pickup
    3 way toggle switch for Bridge, Neck or both pickups
    Moveable 1 piece wooden bridge .
    Quality chrome Tuners
    This Chowny bass was a xmas present from my wife
    Its in White with a cream binding around the body and neck
    The finish is stunning.
    I believe the body top is maple , maple neck with ebony fretboard
    White mother of pearl block type markers.

    The strings that came on the bass look like d’addario roundwounds
    I prefer to use flatwounds for the type of music I am using the bass for
    Mainly 1950’s 60’s rock n roll.
    I fitted a set of thomastik short scale flatwounds.
    I have now done 6 full rehearsals and 10 live shows using the Chowny
    The bass is very light and the neck is realy comfortable to play
    It also looks fantastic on stage.
    It gives me every sound I need , from deep ,double bass type tones using fingers
    To the Eddie cochran type click sound using a pick, and anything in between.
    No noise or feedback issues that sometimes occur with semi basses.
    Stays in tune throughout your performance without having to retune.
    I currently own 3 fender precion basses a 51 reissue, 57re issue 62 reissue
    And a standard jazz bass. I also have a burns shadow bass and a vintage stingray copy.
    I find the Chowny as versatile as all of these.
    It is now my first choice bass for this genre of music
    I purchased a hard case for a Hofner verythin bass Which fits perfectly.
    I would highly recommend these basses for anyone wanting a great looking
    And sounding Bass at a very reasonable price

  8. Hi mark
    a di box will have 2 jack inputs and 1 xlr out
    you plug your bass guitar into one of the jack sockets on the di
    the other jack socket on the di goes to your bass amp input
    the xlr (mic lead) output goes to your mixer or whatever you are di into
    most di's also have a ground lift and decibels control to adjust the signal strength
    and eliminate any nasty humming noises etc

    regards
    jay
