Noisyjon

Top man, gave me some picks F.O.T. and even paid for postage. Thanks fella and that pint at the next SE Bassbash is defo on me.

oh gawd...GASing so far for: Lakland US Bob Glaub, Fender '59 NOS P Bass, Ricky 4003, Alleva Coppolo 5 string P, A top end wireless system, Thunderfunk TFB750A amp, Ampeg SVT-2 pro amp, Dr Bass cabs, Bare faced bass cabs... Don't think I'll get any of this gear this year TBH but you gotta dream!

I use a MXR M80 DI+ for exactly what you want and it works a treat, I recommend highly. Cheer, Jon

PM'd

Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (50-105) for me. They are really nice on my P basses!

No band = no gig ...there's the NY resolution though! Have a good one tonight, those of you gigging.

+1 for the MXR M80 D.I.plus - I Love my one. Also a big up for the Sadowsky pre-amp/D.I. pedal - a REALLY nice bit of kit that I use all the time.

Hi eude, Looking good there fella, well done! Happy New Year to ya, JTB

I thnk that photo is from the last night of the tour, in their hometown, isn't it? Maybe he broke out an old friend for a blast?!

[quote name='johnnylager' post='362031' date='Dec 23 2008, 02:45 PM']... On EB Slinkys at the moment...[/quote] Same here and love them.

I'm using the Jim Dunlop 'Double D' straps now, amongst others (Get'm Get'm & generic 1" leather jobbie) Got them all Schaller straplock'd up aswell! Have a look [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/1663-jim_dunlop_d40_double_d_extra_long_strap"]HERE[/url]at the J.D. one

I can't help you but good luck!

I needed to fit some Schaller straplocks to my strap and had to widen the hole in the strap to 10mm to get the threaded bit through OK. A bit extreme, but a hollow punch heated up red hot with a blow torch went through the leather like butter and left a perfect hole, cauterized to boot! Brute force (or heat in this case) and ignorance prevails once again!!! Yee ha! edit:spelling, Timothy

[quote name='coasterbass' post='350447' date='Dec 10 2008, 10:11 AM']Hmmm.... maybe i'll have to come up with a better idea to make my millions.[/quote] Dunno about that Coasterbass, I like the idea of the remote controller and think the off/bybass switch to stop anyone else remote controlling your amp is the one. What about having nothing but a motorised Master Volume on the amp front (like a hi-fi) with all the other controls remote controlled and shown on a digital display? (which could also be a touch screen for 'lost remote' times). The remote could have a 'port' on the front of the amp for storage and charging. JTB

Hi eude, I'm with the straight line idea as well. Looking good there Mate, and I know exactly how you're feeling this close to the line! Cheers, JTB

You could get a signal splitter to feed 2 combos from your one bass. There are various options available.

My 2p's worth is that we'll never truly know what the players are using. There's a whole other side to instrument building called 'Ghost Building', where a luthier will replicate a guitar or bass for people but to a better standard or different specs while looking like a normal piece. Slash must be one of the more famous ones - the Gibson Les Paul he used on Appetite For Destruction was a replica made by a man at a shop in California, but for intents and purposes it looks like a nice Gibson 1959 LP re-issue! Interesting reading about it can be found [url="http://www.edroman.com/rants/ghost.htm"]Here[/url]

Get back out rehearsing, gigging & recording - it's been waaay to long.

[quote name='Toasted' post='345130' date='Dec 4 2008, 09:43 AM']Thanks Birdy - the "behind the notes" video is also excellent, and Roger talks extensively and openly about the setup of Sadowsky basses.[/quote] Is that available to watch online Toasted?

[quote name='Clarky' post='344253' date='Dec 3 2008, 03:49 PM']That £800 ish that I don't have![/quote] +1

What d'ya reckon this will go for Clarky? £800-ish?

[quote name='Marky L' post='344237' date='Dec 3 2008, 03:31 PM']...Damn.. is this GAS begining?? [/quote] Yessir, you're done for! Curious on this one myself TBH. Maybe even a SD Vintage pup to make it sound 'classic'?
