Lemonrock gets me to gigs as a punter. For it to really work for you as a band, you need to have recordings or videos of you on your page. Your name, a few dodgy pics and a paragraph of "self-praise" won't have me driving 20 miles for the experience. But then, like all things, "you only get summat out if you put summat in". This is a good page: [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/360"]http://www.lemonrock.com/360[/url] I could go to that one. Another is [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/defunkt"]http://www.lemonrock.com/defunkt[/url] - that's our Gary Mac; I've been to see them. I know a lot of the videos for defunkt are shot using a mobile, but it gives a general overview. Now this one... [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/planetx"]http://www.lemonrock.com/planetx[/url] Hmm... I reckon an early night would be preferable. Links to your own site can be good too, if you have recordings there too. (Edit; If your vids and recordings show you up as cr@p, then please ignore all of the above.)

Phil bought a J-Retro pre amp from me. He's a great person to deal with. He's good at his word and it was a pleasure to meet up for a drink. Many thanks Phil.

£100 for a PJ Squier sounds a bargain to me. Good one!

Hi from Herts. Welcome to BC

It obviously needs to be oil/spirit based paint, but I guess gloss or matt won't make a lot of difference. Do you have a good, large water tank to do this in? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHqPkkSpLZk

Looking good, Shame that natural isn't an option. Is the black we see on the back what remains of the original paint? How are you stripping?

Westone Spectrum ST with amp for £100. Located in London http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/bass-guitar-westone-amp-case-stand/1129957046

I have just sold my Fender P to Stephen. He's a good guy to deal with. We had great communications and he's a man of his word. Fast payment and he confirmed as soon as the bass arrived. I would very much like to work with him again. An excellent all round experience. Many thanks Steve.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1439821626' post='2846026'] ..recently added a set of D'addario tapewounds and it's sounding and feeling ace. None more black! [/quote] Nice! BTW, how do you keep the cushions on the sofa, when you stand it up like that? Mine keep falling off.

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1439820322' post='2846012'] Looks like Norstrand DC4 might work as well! [/quote] Very possibly. The size looks about right. I'd check out the string options though. £220 for pups is, in my book, a lot of dosh when the originals sound pretty good anyway. My guess is the punters down the pup won't notice the difference.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1439756016' post='2845555'] Can you delete this thread please mods? I've found what I was looking for. Thanks. [/quote] Good. Please can you save me some time and post a link or the information here? I've got a good size bag here to go to them.

Warwick?

German?

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1439567341' post='2844054'] What Pickups will drop in straight out? [/quote] Bartolini make some suitable pups. http://www.bartolini.net/product/4-string-bass-soapbars/ The BC4C-B and BC4C-T seem about the right thing. I doubt I'll rush though, the stock ones seem ok and it would be sensible to see what different strings sound like first. The higher priority could be replacement pots. The pre-amp seems very versatile, but the pots are a bit stiff.
