[quote name='Low End Bee' post='649583' date='Nov 9 2009, 12:17 PM']At a recent gig the other bands bass player played one of these (with rounds on) through my Trace and it sounded huge. Not remotely like the one dimensional thump I was expecting.[/quote] Nice one, I always liked the tone with rounds, but I was told to get flats on it at the Moffat bassbash Thread update: it looks like I am going to be able to replace the rather tatty bridge pickup with a more shiny one with gold foil intact. -

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='648689' date='Nov 8 2009, 12:17 PM']so is the only thing left to fit electronics or am i missing something? hopefully someone will take it on and finish it![/quote] Nah, there's still routing to be done for the pickups, the fret ends need filed, some sort of ramp needs to be created, a rear cavity cover needs to be made and fitted. Then there's finishing to be done of course. I just don't have the time to do this stuff any more. Some of the parts are up for sale in the forum (see link in sig). Anyone wanting to take this on should buy the Badass V too, as the body is drilled to fit such a bridge.

Hi folks I'm selling my DeArmond Starfire bass. It's a semi-hollow, 2 pickup bass, short scale, small tuners replaced with full size Schallers. 3 way switch, vol and tone for each pickup and an overall master volume. A couple of cosmetic issues - a couple of dings near the bridge, the bridge pickup is a little worn looking (gold foil is worn away - by a previous over-enthusiastic plectrum user perhaps?). There was a crack in the neck where the fingerboard had come away from the back of the neck but I've fixed that (glue injected into the crack and clamped) and it's rock solid and smooth to the touch. I'd like £200+postage for it please. It's got roundwounds on it just now but I'll throw in a set of flats as well if you want to go full-on old school. I don't have a gig bag which fits it but I do have one which [i]nearly[/i] fits bar about 4 inches which you can have. I have used the strap along the edge of the bass to protect the sticky out bit. With that in mind, have the strap too

Sorry guys, but I'm abandoning this project. No time and even less inclination to complete it, I'd rather spend the time playing than building. If anyone wants to take it on, PM me.

[quote name='stevie' post='648258' date='Nov 7 2009, 05:53 PM']Don't say - you've finally found a girlfriend! [/quote] Heh, no but a new house with my wife demands my attention and skills more than these projects do. Plus I'd rather be playing than building these days. Actually, who am I trying to kid, it's GAS money Some pics up!

Welcome to the forum For ease of reading in the future, you might want to locate the full stop button on your keyboard...

I have the MP3 one and I really like it. The only issue I had with mine was that the MENU button became a little flaky and unresponsive, but then rather oddly it later fixed itself. Must have got bumped twice in the same place

I'd just like to say what a great time I had this weekend - some well tasty basses on display, I was a little too "I'm not worthy" about a few of them Thanks to Alan (and others) who organised it.

Great looking basses, well made, average sound in stock configuration. I ended up swapping out the stock passive humbuckers for EMG-HB active pickups (Precision-esque split rails in a humbucker size) and an EMG-BQC 3 band EQ. Did I mention I think they look great?

Use Hipshot Ultralite tuners to make the headstock as light as possible? Choose your strap button position carefully - [url="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~wizkid/music/thunderbird_mod/"]http://www.lysator.liu.se/~wizkid/music/thunderbird_mod/[/url]

[quote name='chrisba' post='638310' date='Oct 27 2009, 06:45 PM']This is a little program I wrote to try and teach myself to recognise intervals and play the corresponding note. Written in Visual Basic so it might need some VB runtime libraries to work, but I can't tell for sure. It's not really a txt file, but download it, rename it to a .exe ( which I'm not allowed to upload ), virus-scan it ( not that you have to, but it's good practice ) and then just doubleclick Any feedback welcome... [attachment=35261:intervals.txt][/quote] Nice little program. One bug found so far - if the two notes chosen are the same then the Go and Repeat buttons remain greyed out after you click on the note.

For sale is a JVC KD-LHX552 car stereo. I'm selling it because my car has a funny shaped stereo and I can't be bothered dismantling my dashboard in order to fit it. I’ve attached a (disgustingly large) stock picture of it. A brief rundown of the features: * 50 peak x 4 channels * Motorised, detachable, fold-down face * Touch screen controls with voice support * Variable color 3D graphics display (with 1,728 possible colors) * Personalised Image Capture Technology (PICT) allows you to download your own images into the display (software included) * DiAS digital RDS AM/FM tuner * 18 FM/6 AM presets * Plays MP3 and WMA files * ID3v2 MP3 Tag Compatibility * Plays CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs * SD Card Slot * Direct track access (tracks 1-12) * 7-band iEQ (with 9 preset and 3 user-adjustable EQ curves) * Advanced multi-bit DAC * CD/MP3 changer controls * MOSFET internal amp * 5-volt, gold-plated front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs * Level control and low-pass filter on subwoofer preamp outputs * Gold-plated rear auxiliary input * Wireless remote * Clock I'd like £50 + postage for it. Also included if it’s useful - a replacement fascia for a Honda Civic 7th generation (2000-2006) and a wiring harness for same vehicle.

I'm pretty green when it comes to public performance, but I'm trying really hard to lift my eyes off the neck. In my first gig (which I was barely prepared for) I made sure I knew one song really well and looked up quite a lot and moved around a bit, but it was pretty much head down after the first few songs. With the band I'm in just now, I'm trying not to look at the bass when I'm practising solo, looking up/around the room in the rehearsal room and hopefully that's transferring on stage. I can't verify that though, because I can barely remember being on stage because of the adrenaline! My wife keeps me right, and I always try to look for her if she's at the gig - a guaranteed friendly, supportive face.

They're awful. You'll hate it.

+1 to the no lending rule. It's a bass, not a cup of sugar. Additional: got any pics of the damage? Perhaps someone can advise on how best to tackle the damage.
