[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1381353226' post='2238120'] Just tried my 5-er through it. This thing has much more range in both directions than the TC Classic. I got a nice tone with gain switch in, gain and volume at about noon, bass backed off slightly, mids boosted at 600Hz, treble flat. I say 'tone', I should say 'range of tones' - as I said in my first post, you get a very clear reflection of any changes in control settings on the bass itself. These settings gave a good string balance, which is always nice. [/quote] Sounds to me as though sir is coming to appreciate his new amp yes?

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1381334220' post='2237803'] I don't like green guitars! Trans maple leaf red sounds interesting, any examples? Sounds very autumnal. Right, the mdf mock-ups looked, well, like mdf mock-ups. Here's a picture of what that solution looks like in some first grade sycamore. [url="http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/4Strings1/media/IMG_3675_zpsfca67059.jpg.html"][/url] Am I allowed to post such sexy pictures on here? [url="http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/4Strings1/media/IMG_3673_zpseba42a57.jpg.html"][/url] Whatever the green, it's going to have to be subtle. [/quote] Those are seriously gorgeous pics matey! Utility, I think not!! Very beautiful and to be looked after...yes! I think I had the red of the middle leaves on this picture in mind but in a translucent finish?

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1381324649' post='2237580'] Tell me more......what does this procedure involve, and what kind of money are we looking at? [/quote] it probably involves a luthier type person shaving the back of the neck in order to change it's shape? unless you fancy attacking it with a rasp and sander before refinishing it? I reckon someone on here would be able to advise in a much more useful way than I who've never seen it done or done it I just know it's possible... Costs, not a clue matey, certainly way cheaper if you try it yourself but I guess there's the flip side of 'if it goes wrong how much to put it right!'
-
a neck reprofile could be done too given you like the sound and look of it?
-
Welcome back matey! I've nejoyed listening to your previous stuff and am looking forward to the new work, Aurora is v cool!

...a happy ending

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1381240543' post='2236248'] I have the guitar player tech kit, plus a couple of other things. Great quality tools. [/quote] superb! Those long screwdrivers for vintage truss rods look like a great idea too!

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1381237381' post='2236180'] Good thread. [b]I have recently invested in a small tool kit, Cruz Tools.[/b] I have know about action, intonation and truss rod stuff for ever. However, I have never really investigated doing it properly to spec and measurement. I can now set neck relief exactly, and do bridge and pickup height to measurements, and intonation. I don't know how to cut a nut, or how to do a fret dress though. [/quote] Sounds like a potential good investment! link please?
-
[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1381235537' post='2236126'] All sounds positive so far! Excellent stuff!! Will get working on the spec for it soon! The real debate is how many strings? 4 or 5? Hmmmm [/quote] Woohoo! I'd be more than happy to try a 4 string with a drop-tuner as a compromise?
-
[quote name='krispn' timestamp='1381224402' post='2235894'] Ahh dude my old bass had reverse tuners so when going into a dropped d number I got completely lost as I'd naturally went to turn the tuning peg the way I was used to and couldn't figure out where the string was tuned -stumbled through on the d string once I got my bearings back. I felt like a complete muppet "Look at yer man can't even tune his bass" Otherwise not a bad gig! [/quote] oh no matey! I hate having to go from standard tuners to reverse tuners as I always always ALWAYS go the wrong way It's always horrible especially in public! Sounds like you manfully ploughed on through the moment and emerged triumphant after a good gig!?

[quote name='niceguyhomer' timestamp='1381180416' post='2235597'] It's got 3 pick ups Andy and moving the selector switch made no change to the volume....weird [/quote] Very! Bug*er!! No obvious/helpful crackles/pops on any controls? Tested with a variety of leads?
-
[quote name='niceguyhomer' timestamp='1381173857' post='2235447'] Bugger me, I think it's my bass! Just tried it through my Tascam BT and it's really quiet active and passive. Jack socket maybe? [/quote] Oo bad news! Some electrical issue at work there! Pickup fault? Could be anything?

[quote name='Jellyfish' timestamp='1381172609' post='2235417'] Practice! Seriously though, there's a book from Mel Bay called '50 Two-hand Tapping Workouts for Electric Bass'. I used to use it all the time and it's a brilliant little book, especially for things like hand independence. I remember there being an exercise early on in the book that has you tapping up a major scale in your right hand and the relative minor in your left. Sounds great, but is difficult to do. [/quote] This one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0786658819/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1381172885&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

I'd be happy to try it whether it coincides with a gig or not...

have a great time matey! Hopefully your borrowed gear will do the job for you!!

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1381152421' post='2234994'] Believe it or not, I have not yet decided whether to keep this*, and will probably come to a decision after Saturday! If it's a 'no', watch the Marketplace... [size=2]*My plan is to buy and try a few different used heads and just keep the one(s) I like the best.[/size] [/quote] try before/during you buy is the way forward matey! Buying to use at a gig-test is emminently sensible methinks

I'm more tempted than a tempted thing to try and get hold of a streamliner while they're as cheap as they currently are!
