[quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1313058' date='Jul 22 2011, 06:27 PM']That's common with most pedals, plugging the jack in completes the circuit and it starts drawing current. Boss pedals aren't true bypass so I assume draw more when not engaged that ones that are.[/quote] Ah ok, not sure I like that and much prefer the Korg.

I have noticed something a little odd on my brand new Boss TU-3 tuner and just want to ask you guys here if this is normal. My Korg Pitchblack I can have plugged in for weeks and weeks and the battery does not die. It is connected with a lead from the tuner out on the back of my amp into the input socket of the Korg. However, I have had the Boss TU-3 for a week now and I have gone through three batteries. It is connected up the same way as the Korg with a cable coming from the tuner out on the amp into the input of the pedal. I noticed that it says in the boss instructions that the input socket doubles as the power switch and power is turned on to the unit when the cable is plugged in. If that is the case, then to me that is really crap as you will eat batteries like mad and you can't have the pedal plugged in all the time. This is unless I am missing something here.

I am thinking about buying a Sunburst Precision because a. It will blend in better with the band rather than my white precision and b. I seem to be comfotable playing a precision and c. the tone seems to work best with this band. My only concern is I hate Sunburst

[quote name='HADGE' post='1310780' date='Jul 20 2011, 08:17 PM']hi folks can anyone help me ,i have bought a warwick streamer lx jazzman whats the difference between a jazzman and the streamer .cheers[/quote] I am purely going from memory and semi guessing but is the Streamer Jazzman a Streamer body and the Jazzman a Corvette body?

I have the Korg Pitchblack and so far it has been excellent. I love the big bright display but I do feel that its a little fragile. I have just bought a Boss TU-3 and it is bullet proof but seems less user friendly and complicated compared to the Korg which is very simplistic. Saying that, once I get used to the TU-3, I am sure its a better tuner over the Korg.

For sale is my Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Neck. I bought this from TommK on here back in January as I was desperate for a fretless neck for a recording project whilst Jon Shuker made me a fretless neck for my ESP. I now have my ESP neck from Mr Shuker so this fretless Stringray neck is now available. It is a six bolt neck with a pau ferro unlined board. It has very minor string wear from previous owners using roundwounds but it is hardly noticable and doesn't effect playability. It has also been drilled for a 4 bolt sabre so it does have 8 bolt holes but they are all usable and it works just fine on my 6 bolt stingray. It does not come with any tuners or string tree which is also how I got it from TommyK. I bought this for £250 including delivery from TommyK and so that is what I would like back for it. Nothing more and nothing less. I am in Surrey so collection is available if so required. -
Here is my fretless ESP 400 Series Jazz with a brand new all black, blacker than black scratchplate made by the wonderful Bass Doc.

[quote name='markinthegreen' post='1307172' date='Jul 17 2011, 10:30 PM']Southend-On-Sea mate[/quote] Ok, I have a brand new, never gigged and only about 2 months old MIA Fender Jazz in Olympic white. Only just got it so not really sure I want to part with it but I do have a soft spot for the natural Darryl Jones. If I did want to part with it, would this be something you would be interested in? Also, any more piccies? -
Where abouts are you based? Your profile says sarfend but is that south end on sea or the south?

No problems with feedback on my Washburn AB10 but I have not gigged it yet. I will be next Sunday so I can report back then. However, I have rehearsed with it around 10 times now through my MarkBass combo and no feedback at all. It does have a volume dial which I keep set at about one third which is about the same as my ESP Jazz bass set on full volume so maybe keeping the volume low on the Wasbburn AB10 is cutting out any feedback.

I like my pinky up high especially when a G string is involved

Are bronze brighter than rounds or the other way around?

My band Cow will be playing at the Bed Bar in Woking on the 24th July 2011. We play a mixture of original acoustic pop/motown soul and supported Paul Weller on his 2010 stadium tour. We will be launching our debut single on the night and really hope some of you can make it down. Doors open at 7.30pm and closes at 11pm. We should be on stage around 9pm for about an hour followed by DJ Neil Barker (shake/black cat London) who will be playing floorshaking Northern Soul and scorchin Ska The venue is pretty much opposite the main train station and has llinks to London and most other cities. The address is, Bed Bar, 2 Church Path, Woking, GU21 6EJ Hope to see some of you there.

I may give flats a go as well as some rounds to see what they both sound like. I am not after any sort of DB tone but something thats warm but with definition. The Bronze strings sound perfectly ok although they do clank about a fair bit.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1291742' date='Jul 4 2011, 07:24 AM']OT but which black nylons do you use? I tried some Roto TruBass on my Eko fretless acoustic and they were too plasticky sounding. I'm currently using TI Flats on it[/quote] Thanks for the replies guys, makes me wonder why acoustic basses ship with Bronze strings as standard. Clarky, thanks for asking. That would had been my next question
-
My Washburn AB10 is currently strung with Bronze string but I was wondering how it would sound with normal roundwounds. Is this worth trying or has anyone tried this and can let me know if its worth doing or are Bronze strings a better choice for acoustic basses?

[quote name='Monckyman' post='1289374' date='Jul 1 2011, 06:13 PM']I`m thinking the Boss will do me. Failing that, a cheap micromixer.[/quote] Yeah I am leaning towards the Boss. Plus its white and I have a thing about anything white at the moment

[quote name='ezbass' post='1288565' date='Jul 1 2011, 08:14 AM']With regard to the phrase 'cheat lines' I would point out that one the current finest fretless players, Gary Willis, uses a marked fingerboard as of course did Jaco. Now I'm not a particular fan of either, but I wouldn't call them cheats.[/quote] Bloomin amateurs the both of them :)

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='1288409' date='Jun 30 2011, 11:51 PM']It's a pot on the back... These are ace...I used mine when swapping between fretted and fretless. I've since sold it to my Guitarist who swaps between Electric and Pedal Steel on the same amp. Lovely solid bit of kit - Allbeit not the cheapest![/quote] Where abouts or do you mean somewhere else?

[quote name='Monckyman' post='1288287' date='Jun 30 2011, 10:02 PM']I`m also in the market for a two bass one input solution, but on the Bigshot I can`t see any volume pots, so how do you balance the two levels? MM[/quote] Thats a very good point. Well spotted.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1288055' date='Jun 30 2011, 06:09 PM']Haven't used the Boss one..but I was impressed by this. I like the fact that you don't need a battery so it runs pretty clean. I used it just to compensate for the levels between basses...but as one of the basses drains very quickly, I stopped staying plugged in all the time so now do it the old fashioned way and mute through a rack tuner for a change-over. It is only a few seconds more to do this. The Boss is powered so you will either have to use batts or run a supply..both of which I wanted to avoid..and simplify.[/quote] Ok cool. What do you mean by one of the basses drains very quickly? Do you mean its active and the battery in it drains quick as its plugged in to the A/B box all the time?

[quote name='JTUK' post='1288031' date='Jun 30 2011, 05:36 PM']You want something like this [url="http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-aby.htm"]http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-aby.htm[/url][/quote] Hey thanks, that also looks perfect and similar to the Boss one. Is one better than the other or not much in it?

[quote name='Clarky' post='1288008' date='Jun 30 2011, 05:16 PM']Buy Happy Jack's Tone Bone in the FS forum. Two independent EQ sections in one preamp.[/quote] Thanks Clarky, that looks quite interesting. Might be a bit overkill as I run all my settings flat but will look into it more.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1288004' date='Jun 30 2011, 05:11 PM']Just get an AB box. I use a Boss LS2 Line Selector because it's got more flexibility and you can balance the volumes of the two inputs.[/quote] Oooh that sounds perfect as my electric ESP output is much lower than my Washburn AB10 acoustic. Thanks for the suggestion.
