    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#222222]Oh yes….I too had a pair of those vision enhancing spectacles! My first bass (after bodging together a home made Frankenstein) was a brand spanking new Kay “Les Paul-ish” shaped bass. I was 16 with cash burning in my pocket and I wanted a bass….any bass.[/color][/font][/size]

    Dirnt bass issues with refret

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Looks like a bad refret job to me as you can see where the fretboad wood has been lifted when pulling the old ones out. I guess the frets have been cut to length before fitting and not long enough to be trimmed / dressed afterwards. Also the crowns have been ground pretty flat in places. I wouldnt be too happy with this :(

    Shipping advice from the US of A

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I've just recently had a new amp shipped from the US. The sender used the US Postal Service (which turned out to be cheaper than any other courier quote I'd been given). Once the package was with UK Customs they sent me a nice letter asking for the duty due and once it was paid I got a spanking new amp for about 60% of the same one over here. :D

    When I had tried to get a quote from the usual couriers I use over here, the general response was they might agree to do imports but it would cost a lot more to do this from the UK end. To give you some idea shipping quotes I got for the same item : to arrange and ship from the US end = $110 (£60), to arrange and ship from the UK end = £170. It seems the general rule is its easier to ship OUT of a country than IN.

    Anyway, more importantly....whats the bass?. Wheres the pics? New? Pre-loved? Good for metal?

    Gumtree Jaydee Calibas Ad

    Not sure if anyone's interested but I spotted this Jaydee Calibas 6 on Gumtree. I used to have the 5 string version and it was a great bass. This one seems to have a much better pedigree than mine though! :D [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/jaydee-custom-calibas-6-string-bass/1023265493#photo-content"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/jaydee-custom-calibas-6-string-bass/1023265493#photo-content[/url]

    Does the cab have a high pass filter so you can connect a top cab? What are the dimensions and weight?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Dimensions are 652mm x 465mm x 423mm (25.7" x 18.3" x 16.7") and 55 lbs each. I originally bought them for when we do larger gigs. I paired them up with my other pair of identical bins for a gig at the Aberdeen Beach Ballroom last year as I thought we might need a bit more weight in the sound. They worked great.....too much in fact that I ended up taking them out and using only one set for a full 5 piece band & drums mic'd up!

    The cabs have a built in crossover of 12dB / octave low pass at 15Hz. In the manual it says "The TXD-115 includes an internal low-pass crossover network which filters high frequency signals from the bass driver when used in conjunction with two-way enclosures enabling a full range system to be powered from a single amplifier channel without the need for external electronic crossovers."

    You can come and hear them working if you like.

    Mark Ramsay Design Basses?

    I've just seen them over the last couple of days. I like the looks of a couple of the designs on the website ([url="http://www.rmiuk.biz/"]http://www.rmiuk.biz/[/url]) and pricing doesnt seem too bad (depends on what you actually get though ;) ) I get the feeling they are using eastern manufacturing whilst designing and finishing in the UK. There are some vids on YouTube
