  1. I'm going to be annoying. Helix! It does it all. And reamping is so damn easy.
  2. How long have you had it?
  3. dafuq did I just watch?
  4. Even this? I might get fired if I go full drive!
  5. We've just added a latin thing to the set list - so as a wild guess I'm saying a lot of mistakes! I've never played latin before.
  6. I have a rehearsal on Saturday morning. So if it arrives on Friday I might give it a run out then. Dug's tone will work in a 25 piece big band jazz ensemble, won't it?
  7. I’d love to try one. dont think I could bring myself to spend that much on such a tiny thing though.
  8. You’re only saying that because he’s about 7ft tall!
  9. Is that the ranty weirdo chap?
  10. Skindred- Big Tings. loving it.
  11. 34. Low B tone is more about the quality of construction than scale length. My 34 inch Marleaux has a deeper clearer B than any bass I’ve ever heard, even when I’ve had Dingwalls.
  12. Holy Necro Thread Batman!
  13. Who mentioned me an deleted it? Conspiracy!!!,!,!!!!!
  14. These guys have done one for me. Looks good too http://www.originalscratchplates.com/
  15. Not all jazz pickups are the same size. Some Fender's have a slightly longer bridge pickup, so the aftermarket makers usually do 2 options - the Fender sizes and then every body else's size. Some makers wind the neck and bridge pickups the same, some have different windings depending on the position.
  16. Or, swap the tuners to black, leave the bridge and knobs but swap the scratchplate for a white pearl one. I liked that look on Newsted's jazz bass.
  17. Chrome bridge and knobs. And swap the scratchplate - still for a black one, but with the Black / White / Black construction so you get the outline. Would be perfect then.
  18. Choice of preamp is very personal. Some are super clean, some give a warm or dirty edge. Best you can do is listen to demos where they are playing the same sort of music you play. There are plenty of very good choices - East, Darkglass, Glockenklang, Aguilar, Nordstrand, EMG etc etc Some work with all pickups, others (some of the EMG models) only work with their pickups. What pickups are you going to install? Is the current preamp a 2 band or 3 band? How many control knob holes has it got? Do you care if more holes might be needed?
  19. Roland Bass Cube. Sounds superb and can be picked up used for about the cost of a pedal Still got mine despite having super light modern gear.
  20. Buy a body blank and get a luthier to finish the job of routing the body.
  21. Cracking idea. I'll stick a barrel connector on the end and see what happens.
  22. @Tech21NYC Thank you. If it only draws 60mA then when the warranty has run out I may well see if there's enough room in the casing to add a battery clip. I'm not thinking about long term use - just for those shorter jams and the educational settings I often play in. Can't wait to get mine. Every demo is making me more excited!
  23. Leave. I made that decision as soon as I reached the "Drummer doesn't drive" bit, let alone the rest. I don't care if it's Dennis Chambers - he transports his own frakking kit.
  24. I do wish it had a battery option. As an analogue pedal it won't eat them quickly, and it would be a far easier set up in places where I am lucky if I don't have to argue over a single socket! I do have one of the Warwick Rockboard rechargeable batter pack things, but that is still another thing to carry. @Tech21NYC What is the current draw for the pedal please?
