Thanks for watching.

Ta very much.

Thanks. I prefer the Ebow on flats, it's a bit harsh on roundwounds.

Good to see you posting music here again. Nice piece but could be a bit louder. Good piece to immerse yourself in.

A bass guitar that doesn't sound like one. Using a pick on a fretless bass. Any other rules to break? Some more ambience this time on an Overwater fretless with an Ebow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD_4sKc46cw

I have a 760FS set on my Overwater fretless. The best tone and feel I could ever have asked for. Highly recommended in this house. Oh yes, and they have been on for about two years now and still sound fantastic.

It didn't sound very good when it was first produced in the 70s and it still doesn't sound good. If I remember correctly the wheels were spinning all the time and it was just a matter of pushing them onto the strings with the keys. The wheels will wear out as they are making contact with a roundwound string. I'm sure it will be used by a few as the Ebow is. Remember though that this was originally conceived before synths became widespread. Now we have guitar synths you can just plug your guitar into and get many different sounds without adding anything to your guitar.

This was one of the other Warwick prototypes

Ditto. Never actually spoken to them but ordered bits from them in the past and always been a good, prompt service.

Isn't there a national bass event happening at Olympia shortly?

I had used TI jazz flats on fretless before and was happy with them. Tried them on my Overwater fretless and didn't like the tone. Put a set of Labella flats on that bass and the tone just exploded it was so good. Some strings will suit some basses more than others but there is only one way to find out. I'd give them a go.

...and he/she still hasn't put any pots on it so I'll wait until that is done and then I might think about buying it.

You want small? You want 200 watts? Can you wait a short while? Why not try this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m87JXqrLIc

I know not many of you understand ambient soundscapes so you have been warned. Probably best to go and do something else while it's on in the background, then you'll appreciate it more. This one was played on my ESP LTD B205 through the usual bunch of effects that mean it doesn't really sound like a bass. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbRFxZ428s[/media]

Let's say your talking about mid frequency. You'll have a knob that allows you to select the frequency you want to control. Another knob will work alongside that to boost or cut that selected frequency. The boost and cut knob works in the same way as your regular bass/mid/treble knobs but you have the addition of being able to select which frequency you boost and cut.

OK chaps and chapesses, here is my contribution to the noise boards. No dirt involved with this. All about ambientness. Hopefully later this year I'll add an EHX Superego or the new Plus Pedal sustainer due out in June. It is powered by a Pedal Plus 2 and Pedal Plus 4x4. Volume pedal is Ernie Ball VPJR

That's not something I would normally listen to but I really like it. Watch out; old git listening to metal.

I'd agree with Rob above on knowing what you want. You can never know exactly 100% what it will turn out like until it is finished and in your hands. I notice from you signature that you're a bit of a Fender fan. You can order something similar from a custom builder but as I've said it's an unknown quantity. I have had basses built by Status and Overwater and have personally met the guys who design and build the instruments. Brilliant experiences each time and basses you can't beat. But even though I trusted them and had a good idea of what would come along, there is that question. Having said all that I have never had any regrets. Then again off the shelf basses don't give me what I'm looking for. Custom builds do.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1484509726' post='3215994'] I think that was Guns and Roses.... I guess Child in Time? [/quote] Ah, think you might be right

Black Night or maybe Sweet Child of mine or maybe Highway Star. I don't know. There's only one way to find out...
