It once looked like this: [/quote] When it was reassembled by Jaco's techs they refinished it before returning it to him...(him being...Jaco) [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/news/index.php/?display_article=533"]http://www.fender.co...lay_article=533[/url]

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1350035612' post='1833730'] I'd say compared to a lot of cabs they are relatively flat sounding (in terms of colouration) so whatever you put in from your amp you'll get out - without anything missing. Great if you have a good sounding amp, but some amps are specifically designed to go with the speakers from the same manufacturer (TC springs to mind). Also a lot of cabs seem to have a dip in the mid range, which is great for HiFi speakers as everything sounds very pleasant, but put them in a band scenario and you'll always be turning up to hear yourself. So depending on the amp you have, you might find the Barefaced a bit too honest! The good news is that with an EQ adjustment you should be able to get whatever sound you want, but don't expect it to sound like any other cab on the market. It took me a couple of gigs to get used to hearing myself really clearly wherever I was on stage without blasting out the rest of the band. I run my Genz Shuttle amp completely flat with my Super12 (tweeter rolled off halfway) - the amps a bit clinical but the cab is monster, its a one hand carry/wheel to the car and it fits in my tiny boot too.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1349987507' post='1833297'] He has a really cool Fender Deluxe Precision with a custom shop silverburst finish. I've seen him use that live. Like it a lot [attachment=120730:610x.jpg] [/quote] [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1350029757' post='1833616'] Yeah, I like that too - wouldn't be surprised to see a MIM signature version out within the next couple of years. [/quote] Why if he's got a top quality fender which is basically a custom shop one would he play MIM ones just cos they've got his name on them? I'd have to change the neck, hardware and pickups on a MIM one for it feel and sound anything like...?

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1349989848' post='1833352'] I for one fully trust you, Colin, and I'm sure everybody else here does Counting down to the next bash! [/quote] [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1350029235' post='1833603'] +1 [/quote] Absolutely! The fact that we could view them if desired makes me more trusting somehow too

I don't think there is a minimum, you can also buy some quality BC tat from the shop as all proceeds go towards site upkeep n wotnot...

mate your bass goes to 11!

Tony bought a diago power adaptor for EHX pedals from me, very mellow transaction, no problems at all

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1349945451' post='1832458'] To be honest although the idea of a national bass bash is nice I doubt it would happen as:[list] [*]It would have to have some significant value over another local bash [*]Be guaranteed to get the attendance needed [*]A bigger venue would be needed to host the "potential" for more people coming [*]A national bass guitar show already exists above and beyond this scale [/list] [/quote] But how cool would it be to get all / almost all the UK members together...unprecedented?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1349941728' post='1832388'] Says the guy from sheffield [/quote] I can't help if I live in the approximate geographic centre of the universe can I

National bass bash sounds like a great idea! Somewhere central between the top and bottom of the country, probably northish midlands, notts/derby/Sheffield so extreme south and north have equal chance of getting there?

The best I've had were a pair of ultimate ears triple.fi 10, seriously nice sounding, very hi-fi, also, superb reduction in background noise when I had 'em in right! They were as good as my ear-plugs! They're about £100 ish and I'd heartily recommend them if you've got the cash to do it

How can there be a new bass if there are no pics of it...don't understand hope you get your app's untwisted soon matey!

Question...has anyone compared these EAD cool looking beasties to the other BassChat favourite...Barefaced? Thoughts? Comparison reviews?

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1349616949' post='1828304'] The debate about the UK's only current bass guitar magazine (and Bass Player from the USA) and its various plus or minus points, has long raged on this forum. In this debate came up the name of Bassist magazine. An old sadly now defunct UK bass magazine, which I had never heard of. So i took it upon myself to get hold of a few copies and was blown away by the quality and number of interesting things to read and study in that magazine. As i dont have a scanner anymore ~I will have to put the contents page up here for all to see.

[/quote] I remember that issue, I enjoyed learning the elvis costello lines, it really helped me in a formative development time in my playing! Cracking magazine, shame it's gone

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1349600840' post='1828032'] I'd be hard pushed to find anything from '62 that I'd actually want...no Fenders, Ricks or Gibsons for me I'm afraid... [/quote] Hofner? Gretsch?
