As an addtion if you have no want or desire to do any wood work I'm sure a local carpenture would charge you a few hours work for a small job as such or a local luthier.

You just need to measure the gap you want to fill or the size you want to use. Measure the string height after you've got the action where you'd like and then choose the height you'd like the bridge under the strings. Find out the radius on your fretboard and then match it on the ramp Cut the wood sand it and seal it with oil or a varnish (which would get scratched quite quickly). Get some nice double sided tape stick it down and there you go one ramp matching your bass in chosen wood and colour. One warning Double sided tape is not to be underestimated as long as you dont try repositioning it after its first put down, very strong lasts for ages. Also remember if you want to take the thing off one day don't put too much on as it wil never its very strong when applied the the whole of the underside of a surface and pressed into place. It wont come off without you having to damage the bass beneith it. Its strong enough to hold metal down using a lathe, CNC or heavey duty band sander in a workshop, so thinking it will come off without leverage and force is a bad idea. Infact i have a freind who has one on his bass and is waiting for the double sided to get old and weak as he can't get it off at the moment. He didnt believe me when i said it was strong stuff and layering the whole bottom of the ramp was a bad idea.

I like warm and retro, which this is excellent at. It really did live up to all the hype when I played through it and found my personal chorus heaven! [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Analogman/Mini%20Chorus/Analogman%20Mini%20Chorus%20Clone%20-%20Deep.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Anal...%20-%20Deep.mp3[/url][/quote] Quite possibly the best chorus around without a doubt. Never should have sold mine it was fantastic. The 18v Dinoelectro Coolcat is a great cheaper alternative.

I'd be very intrested to hear if anyone had tried the Monte Allums fitted CS-3 against the Demeter Compulator? Tim how come you got rid of the multicomp how much better was the fitted cs-3? Any perticular quality? I'm looking for a compressor at the moment from some pretty heavy reading the major contenders for the up to £200 price bracket are: Demeter Compulator EBS MultiComp Maxon CP9Pro+ Then racks: dbx 160X Aphex 651 (if you can find one) The ovnilab website seems to agree with alot of reviews on here and also seems to be a very unbiased good selection of reviews.

I'll just pop this up as I put it all together last night and played it this evening rather large sounding

Noodling bassist GreeneKings lovely singlecut acg and my shuttle and Alans DR bass cab which I'm totaly in love with, and will be shortly contemplating adding a DR bass cab to my collection I'm sure thats enough pics for one day, was a good do hope to see everyone again some time.

Eude's 6 string Eude looking very pleased with him self, little does he know 7 string will be taking that Sei home with him again 7 Strings other basses at the gathering I really don't think theres enough strings on this fantastic bass Ou7shined's lovely pair of basses and the right one with a fantastic little addition to the headstock thats very nice indeed very tasteful. Alan trying to run out of shot with, GreeneKing, 7String, and Eude chatting about cake. Skelf chatting to David I Perry and trying to escape a photo once again neepheid's very intresting collection les paul shape needs special mention how that thing doesnt have neck dive I will never know, lovely to play too.

Bit of a late follow up but my card reader had gone walk about. First off got to say a great thanks to Alan (Skelf) for sorting everything out, doesn't have to go through the effort but always does. Cheers. Also thanks to Dave for driving up the other half of my journey, due to a massive lack of space you'd have thought when someone buys an estate it would you know have some room in it. I was actually very happy with the numbers that showed up I thought it was a great day, great chatting with everyone and getting to play some gear in a very, very well mannered fashion. On the note of Alan's effort have to say the only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the lack of people telling Alan they weren't coming if anything just so we could let the band know earlier no one else was bothering really doesn't take long to post up on basschat or shoot a pm to someone. Just common courtesy I think. That a side it was a great event, nice to have a full weekend of it good curry with many noodling bassists into the night. I'll have everyone know a comfy pair of slippers and ovaltine is a very acceptable way to end the evening especially when some fool invites you to Cardiff for cocktails the evening before just for the record Gin, Vodka and Martini tastes like paint stripper. But I have got some pics : Lovely location with the before mentioned Mr Richard Webb guitarist looking far too smooth for the morning after. Very lucky we didnt sacrifice him if you ask me. Mr Ou7shined in a much more acceptable recovery position after the evening before. Large room for blasting the bass out

[quote name='eude' post='463020' date='Apr 15 2009, 02:26 PM']A go on my Shukers for a go of your ACGs? Eude[/quote] How could a man refuse such an offer.

I'm guessing here but there might be a few other basses there to play, if your's don't make it I'll even let you play one of mine for a second or two...

Right then I'm making another road trip to Scotland for this so I'll be traveling from Ross-on-Wye up the M50 then the M4 through Birmingham, M5 through manchester onto and off the M6. I'm going up saterday for the early gathering so if anyone wants to join us, and is around my route I'll offer pickup. Lifts home on sunday are easier as I'll be running away at the same time as everyone else Good to see people again cya at the weekend chaps P.S I'm bringing a guitarist with me don't hold it against him he's rather a nice chap, and good on bass too (the fact he's better than me will be left out of all conversion thankyou very much)

Looks like its going to be a stunner, love to hear how the piezo bridge turns out with it all. More people buying more ACG's thats just not helping the fact I'd like to add a third to my collection as well.
