Just paint the cab pink and you're sorted.

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1408654073' post='2532323'] I see Nevada have [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/p/TOJ14EB/bass-guitars/overwater/overwater-contemporary-jazz-bass-ebony"]this[/url] on their website...described as a Contemporary Jazz, but the pics & description/spec are definitely Classic J. I wonder if this is what the OP has bought...? They also have [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/p/TOJ24TBK/bass-guitars/overwater/overwater-contemporary-jazz-bass-trans-black"]this[/url] which is actually a Contemporary Jazz... [/quote] I own both and you're spot on. The P/J is the Classic and the soapbars one is the Contemporary. Both great basses, if a little large and heavy IMO. I find the sound from my contemporary (soapbars) to be fuller and beefier (it has thunderous bass) and the sound from the classic (P/J) is more of a classic sound. I actually love the Overwater strings so much that most of my other basses now have them on although I've gone for the 44-104 gauge on all but my classic J which has the standard .38-.98 strings on. I find the lighter gauge string to be a bit weedy really so I'll be changing those to the heavier gauge when they need changing. They're very very similar to GHS bass boomers in terms of feel, sound and how the brightness drops off (could possibly be the same strings rebranded).

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1408474870' post='2530595'] No, I've spoken with the shop. You buy the head and you get a 2x12" cab free of charge. No catches. The offer is on until the end of August. Edit: I'm also considering their offer for the 420w for £399; with a free 420w 2x12" cab.... unless the guy I spoke with didn't know what he was talking about [/quote] He possibly didn't as the terms on the "more info" link from that shop state: "[b]Terms and how to claim:[/b][color=#4E443B][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] 1. Purchase a qualifying Rootmaster head and cab from GigGear (online or at our store)."[/size][/font][/color] [color=#4E443B][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] Shame, as it would have been a cracking deal! I've seen this offer elsewhere too as it's an Ashdown offer, not a shop offer and they all say you have to buy the head and cab to qualify. You have to send your proof of purchase to Ashdown to get the cab so even if hte shop says it's alright, I doubt Ashdown would honour it if the receipt only showed the head.[/size][/font][/color]

I'll see if I can make it and will try and drag Pinball along

Here's some white bass porn for you discreet. Mobile friendly size [attachment=169376:9435053413_58627572f4_s.jpg]

Holy crap! That's a lot of nice wood!

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1408275122' post='2528479'] There are 'advantages'? Tiny screen, crap 'keyboard', expensive bandwidth and - as you've pointed out - slow. Good luck with trying to change websites to make your browsing easier [/quote] Tower PCs are notoriously difficult to carry around on a pub crawl.

Done! That wasn't bad at all. I'm a complete DIY novice but I managed to get it sorted. I just used a little WD-40 to loosen the spade connectors and they popped out when I used a screwdriver to nudge them a little. Oh, turns out a slug had found its way behind the speaker grill! I found slug trails all over - yuk! So, new tweeter is in. I had to shave (using a cheesegrater!) off a few mm on the top and right hand side so the screw holes would line up. It doesn't sit flush due to a chunk of plastic on the back that holds important looking bits together. If I want to make this a permanent fix I'll go back and shave off some of the wood on the cab so it sits flush. So sound-wise. That annoying hiss is gone! I no longer have to tell people that my combo isn't broken! All of the highs seem there still. I can turn up the treble on my bass and the amp and get no hiss. I'll report back after having been in a live situation but so far I'm happy. I can now mic up my combo to record through

Ah, I did it. I referred to the good old engineering diagram: [attachment=169294:7214525854_733237dd83_z.jpg]

How do you remove the wires from the spade connectors? Mine just won't budge no matter how much force I put on them. Do I have to peel back the bit on the wire that wraps around the spade bit on the tweeter?

I've had her in my flat... Congrats, that's a superb bass!

I've got a CAR Tanglewater with a pearl pickguard - here's what it looks like: [url="https://flic.kr/p/jCm47L"][/url]

Yeah, I've got the Ampeg SVX one and it does sound good.

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1407164686' post='2517939'] Why not just turn it off? [/quote] I meant mine goes into flight mode or I turn it off ("flight mode or off") - I wasn't 100% clear with that Sometimes I may want to grab a quick photo of he band set up on stage so I tend to use flight mode more often.

My phone goes into flight mode or off when on stage. Nothing worse than amps picking up interference or your mum calling you to ask how your gig is going.

I've got a Behringer DC-9 too. Got it for around £18 new. I wanted one to even out slight variances in playing and to help notes ring out for longer on slower songs. It does the trick. I need to boost the bass on the amp ever so slightly as it does cut the lows a little but you have to go high up in the compressor ladder to get one that doesn't. My next bit of GAS is for a MarkBass Compressore

My new favourite bass maker! Wow!

I do like that! Shame they don't mass produce them

Hehe I actually love the colour of this (and love the black sticker you put on it to mimic a sound hole!) but I do have a preference for darker woods like your Ibby. I'm not sure if I'd change it but I'm also tempted to see how it goes as I fancy getting my SB320 changed from stained brown to stained-nicer-colour (deep wine red like my old fretless).
