    You got me curious, so I checked. I just removed and put back a bass in a TGI Extreme gig bag in an upright orientation. It keeps its shape when open and it has a velcro strap thingy for securing the neck.
  2. neepheid
    IIRC the TGI is sturdy enough to stand up on its own. Apart from my hard cases, I get all my basses out of and into their bags in an upright position.

    Yup, cocktail sticks. Don't use matchsticks - wood's too soft.

    If you're happy with the TGI Extreme (and I know they're good, I have one myself) then why are you looking elsewhere? Just get another one of those (and save yourself a butt load of cash too)?

    Note to prospective buyers of this cab - it would go great with the Puma 900 head that I'm selling... #justsayin GLWTS, OP

    Fnar, hardening.

    Selling my Tecamp Puma 900 - go have a look in the amp sales forum for a nosey.  If you're taking part in the Gear Abstinence thread - don't look, go do something else! :)

    For sale we have a Tecamp Puma 900 head in excellent condition. 900W@4 ohms, 600W@8 ohms. Comes with carry bag, antislip mat, strap, 1U rack ears (screws left screwed into the Puma for safe keeping), mains cable, aux cable, manual and the original box/packaging. I'm selling it because while it's an amazing sounding amp (I played 2 gigs with it), I ended up scoring a Markbass Mini CMD121P IV which complements my New York 121 cab perfectly so that's become my go-to rig and I don't have the room to have another cab to make this amp truly sing (although it was making a fine noise with the single New York 121!). It's super compact, really powerful and the Taste knob is genius for quickly getting an agreeable sound. It's far too good to have laying around the house as a backup/occasional recording amp so I want to move it on and let someone else get the benefit of it. £400 + postage, price is firm, no trades, thanks! Postage costs Parcelforce 48 will cost £17.70, fully insured Parcelforce 24 will cost £18.20, fully insured Has been packed in its original box, then surrounded by bubblewrap in an outer box. Paranoid, moi?

    Continuing the theme of "finding ways not to spend money on gear"... NDD.

    No idea, I just found a pic of it online and the wonky pickups made me laugh

    I won't be indulging, having bought a BB1200 a few months ago, but this is prime early BB. Everyone ought to experience this early, reverse P goodness. Have a bump on me, and GLWTS.

    I hear you - apart from our super exciting acquisition of a fridge we're also finally replacing the ancient back door on the house that needed kicking into place in order to lock it. That's going to take care of any money that could have been burning a hole in my pocket for basses for a while.

    Get out. You're still in for the main challenge, splitter!
  14. neepheid
    That seems sensible. I'm going to keep using "horse" for the underneath bit, can't get it out of my head now
  15. neepheid
    Did you just tighten the screws on its coat peg a little?
  16. neepheid
    Why would you want a conspicuous case anyway? HI THIEF! STEAL ME! LOOK AT ME, I'M SHINY, THEREFORE MORE VALUABLE!

    I know what saddle means, you pompous ar$e! I am talking within the context of this thread. The OP was very clear about the information they wanted and they received it. This last part is specifically about what to call the nitty-gritty individual component parts of this particular bridge saddle. I would suggest that there's very little harm in lumping the little insert bit in with the thing it slots into and calling it a saddle, especially when it comes to regular maintenance and adjustment. The only time I can see it being an issue is if, heaven forbid, the OP had to buy a replacement part. Then, I'd be super specific and use diagrams to explain exactly what it is I am looking for. The OP is clearly already very adept at using diagrams in this way to get across their meaning, so I'm not overly worried about it. Have you got an official term for the bit-wot-carries-the-saddle in this type of arrangement? A horse, perhaps?

    As long as you know what you mean, that's the most important thing.
  19. neepheid
    I played one gig with it and it was bloody hard work just trying to get heard - the only way to get anywhere with it was to use the bridge pickup only to wring enough mids out of it and even then it was unerwhelming. No (useable) top end and the low end just got lost. Sold it pretty soon after that experience, I don't care how nice it looked, if I can't get it to sound right at a gig then it's gone. I do wonder if I would have got on better with a Coronado with its Fidelitrons, but it's all academic now 'cos I realise now that I don't like playing shorties anyway.

    There was only one proper way to find this out, so don't feel too bad about it. Swing and a miss, it happens.
  21. neepheid
    I had (probably alnico) "Wide Range" humbuckers in a Fender Modern Player Starcaster bass and honestly, I thought they were utter gash.
  22. neepheid
    At least my recent activity has fooled eBay, but it doesn't change the fact that they're a creepy bunch of stalkers...

    At the end of the day, you do you. You came here asking for advice, the advice has been dispensed, and I get the feeling you don't like the advice you've been given. Sorry I wouldn't do what you're doing, personally - but if you do continue with your frequent string swapping you are just going to have to accept that there's a risk associated with it, as you have found out.
