I can't speak for Merton but yes I do. Or did before the plague. That's my big black rig when I'm not in the mood for prisoners. Ashdown CTM100 and two BF Compacts. Black suit for me - not optional.
-
I'll start. Thank you BC for introducing me to James Jamerson, Joe Dart and Geddy Lee. Thank you for helping me to find out which basses I really like. Thank you for telling me about Ashdown. Thank you for helping me to read and write music. Thank you for supportive words when my private life went through the mincer. Thank you for introducing me to new swear words. I no longer use the words flip, nasty pasty and pink torpedo in public. Instead I replace them wherever possible with flip, nasty pasty and pink torpedo.

Drives the song forward doesn't it. More urgent than if he'd swung it.
-
It really is. I recommend these cabs. Light but beautifully finished and a great sound
-
So following the principle of the video above I excavated the end of the trussrod (using less finesse but did the job) and revealed more thread. But alas the whole thing must be seized in there . the moment I began tightening (strings off slight pressure on neck to take strain off the rod) and the end just sheared off inside the nut. So I have a nice wall hanging or a bass that is good for the first few frets
-
This looks like what I need
-
Actually no. I'm not doing it. The finish between the neck and the fretboard is perfect, there's no way I won't ruin it,. I'll just play with a high action or keep it as stage candy.

Bumping. Highly useful piece of kit and with a free mini flight case. -
Nik is a smashing guy to deal with. Good sense of humour, polite and clear communications. Above all he pays on time and leaves nice feedback 😉 Seriously though I recommend this fine upstanding Basschatter to the trading community.

I don't own an iron, will an infra red heat lamp do? Or does it have to be a damp heat?
-
Hi Gary it's an old Japanese faker (I think) someone once said it looks like a Shaftesbury but either way it is a through neck. Or set neck or some such
-
I WILL! Your Churchillian rhetoric has inspired me. 👨🔧
-
In brief: Truss rod won't tighten any more can't put washers before the nut as end of rod thread is stripped and washer covers usable thread. It's a fixed neck. Bass only worth a couple of hundred at best. It's all over isn't it?

You are spot on. Three way selector switch on the back, each setting labelled. Bridged minimum 4 ohms 500w use 1 input Stereo 2 X 250w both minimum 4 ohms use 2 inputs Biamped 1 x 250w minimum 4 ohms lower frequencies 1 x 250w minimum 4 ohms higher frequencies. Crossover is internal non adjustable BUT individual output controls (rear panel) allow balancing between the two amps. Yes you could run 2 x 8ohm cabs for each amp. I have used 2 1x15 TE cabs for the bottom and a 2 x10 with horn handling the top. Oh my. I still get chills.- 31 replies

Great minds!
-
Looks good, and sounds like it sounds good too - what's not to like?
-
Look forward to it.

I think that looks fantastic, really really good. Oh and the electrics, pickups bridges strings and tuners on every HB I've ever had have been absolutely fine. I'm not sure how many of the folk who recommend binning them the moment you receive (or build) one have that much experience of Harley Bentons. I changed the pups in one just to see what difference it made. 🤷🏻♂️

Love the headstock on, well on the one, the one with the headstock 🤔 In fact all three are works of art.

Ow wow, look at that! Tell us about that neck? Looks amazing

And soooooo dull

For me yes definitely. I will go back and continue to read through the manual. Its a subject I know nothing about and so it takes a lot of concentration. But that exercise introduced me to some fundamental concepts which is great. The different blocks of controls make a lot more sense now. I find with other complex software (photoshop springs to mind) that following a few tutorials to get you from one place to a specific end product is not only pleasing (because there's an end result) but you are learning a path through the software and picking up bits of knowledge along the way. Say for instance a tutorial to produce an envelope like an auto wah. Another to produce a simple octave up and octave down. Nothing too complex but each time a newb like me creates something and knows how and why he's created it there's a lot of knowledge and understanding or should I say demistifying happens

Good looking pooch too.

Hats off to you mate, seriously, I always voted for the NHS and I'll still support you when the present spotlight has moved on.

Yeah over 300 all day long not that far back, but times have changed. Petrol is a pound a litre, not allowed to kiss the neighbour's dog any more. It's a strange old world.
