I don't wanna be moving the bridge anywhere

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1256893' date='Jun 4 2011, 10:11 PM']I think the HiMass is basically musch the same as a Gotoh. I had a Gotoh originally when I built my fretless precision, but swapped it out as I preferred the punch you get with a BBOT. I did a dry run without drilling (blutak) and tried putting a bridge cover on - it will fit, but the screwholes will need to be between a quarter and half an inch further back than for a BBOT. With the screwholes in the normal places it definitely won't fit. With the holes moved back, you should easily still have enough room that the front of the bridge doesn't play peek-a-boo out from the front of the cover.[/quote] Possibly a stupid question, but what's BBOT? There doesn't look like a massive amount room behind the bridge to move the holes back. Hmm. I wonder if I should just get the covers, and see? I could probably move them on afterwards if they don't fit...

To put a bridge cover over a hi-mass bridge on a precision? It's not a badass or gotoh or anything, just your standard Fender style hi-mass bridge. Like this one...

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1256144' date='Jun 4 2011, 02:49 AM']Is there anything like this for android?[/quote] Hey Randy Marsh, I'm a massive fan of your username and avatar This is from the IK website (makers of Amplitube) from February. There may be updates since this but I can't find anything. There may be other brands that will work on Android, perhaps GK or Ampkit? [quote]Not at the moment, as it is not possible. The Android OS cannot handle the low-latency audio requirements for an app like AmpliTube. We were waiting for the low-latency audio issues on the OS to be rectified and we'll see if the brand-new OS update actually fixes them - but yes we consider it a viable platform and watch it with interest. The newest Android OS update was supposed to fix low-latency audio issues but unfortunately not enough progress was made in this area so we could not attempt to develop AmpliTube on the platform as it would not be of high enough quality that we require for our app at this time.[/quote] EDIT: Just found this on their website - was only posted this morning! [quote]We've actually begun an initial foray into Android development recently, completing some successful tests of low-latency audio. It will still be several months away, but we should present some Android offerings in the future.[/quote]

[quote name='Skol303' post='1256041' date='Jun 3 2011, 10:50 PM']Yep, I'm quite fond of Amplitube/iRig myself! I find it a very useful little app for jotting down ideas and generally playing around. The tone can be a bit muddy and I find it's best to switch to 'airplane mode' on the iPhone, otherwise it throws up all sorts of unwanted noise. But heh, for something that runs on a mobile phone it's pretty damn good IMO! Here's a little number I put together using Amplitube and other iPhone apps [blatant bump my own thread alert]: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=137845&pid=1245068&st=0&#entry1245068"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1245068[/url][/quote] I wanna listen to your track but soundcloud appears to be having issues at the moment! Anyhoo. As you seem to have a technical brain, if I wanted to use this at band practice, would I run it through my amp head first like a pedal board, or straight in to my cab (leaving the head completely out of the equation)?

Not a bad idea Fitz, they look pricey though. Anyone else had a go on using them live? I'm gonna go do a search as well when I get on the PC

[quote name='skej21' post='1255044' date='Jun 3 2011, 08:52 AM']Haven't tried this myself, but I'd be interested to know how it fairs when you stomp on it to turn things on/off![/quote] Haha! I thought about whether it would be possible to turn them off and on during songs. But I use effects so rarely, and if i do it's the same one throughout the song rather than switching between them during the song. So, for me, that isn't an issue.

I downloaded Amplitube and bought an iRig for my iPhone the other day. Wasn't really expecting much so as to not be disappointed, but was really pleasantly surprised. It had a wide range of tones available, ability to record clips and export as MP3. I've only tried it through headphones at the moment, but am planning to try it through my amp... it's possible that it may replace my pedalboard if I like the results! (I only own a tuner, distortion, and envelope filter and this cops all of those perfectly, and has about 7 more effects as well) Has anyone else used one of these? I'm particularly keen to know about live experiences, but will listen to all Just wanting to hear others views.

Dave bought my Warwick Fortress One. Smooth transaction, no issues. Great bloke, wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again

Welcome aboard Dave! Hope you enjoy it

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1251383' date='May 31 2011, 12:55 PM']A Squier CV or Matt Freeman of course (at least, in all the important area's) [/quote] I'll second the Squier Matt Freeman. Just bought one myself as it was much better than the 3 or 4 American fenders I tried out at the same time.

Like this! (I'm just wanting to show off my new bass really)

Welcome mate!

I always have one drink before the first set, and one in the break. Just calms my nerves a little. Doesn't make me even slightly drunk or tipsy though, I probably wouldn't do it otherwise
