Here's my '74 Telebass II. Love it to bits. The bottom end from one of these babies could knock down a brick wall. A proper bass! [attachment=17903:74_tele2_front.jpg]

The cable they're using looks very similar to the stuff the legendary Pete Cornish uses in his cables - but his (fantastic) cables are a third of the price... I know which ones I'd rather buy!

I've found the customer service from Digital Village to be exceptionally good - why don't you just get in touch with them????

Im currently running OSX Tiger 4.11.[/quote] I would think so - I was already running 10.5. If you go to the Digidesign site there'll be info on what OS is required...

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='357676' date='Dec 18 2008, 11:10 AM']Its nice isn't it. Lots of effort has been piled into the basic opperation and interface of it whilst sticking to the Pro Tools functionality. G[/quote] Yes - I'm VERY happy with it. Was well worth the upgrade price - feels like a huge amount of work has been put into it - not to mention all the new toys!

[quote name='CyberBass' post='357795' date='Dec 18 2008, 12:23 PM']I have protools LE 7.3 with my 003 Rack, can it be upgraded to protools 8? or do I need to start from scatch with protools 8?[/quote] Yes - you can just upgrade. That's what I did. It just replaces your version 7 install with version 8. All the stuff you've recorded opens as protools 8 sessions - with everything saved & intact just as you had it in version 7 - but with all the new goodness... If you bought you 003 rack before October of this year it's a free upgrade - if not it is about £95. Which actually makes buying an MBox Micro (£150) - a bargain as you would get prootools 8 with this for free.

Just installed the Pro Tools LE 8 upgrade - quick whizz through.... WOW. What a difference. A zillion times better + LOADS of new plugins & goodies + 48 tracks (just started to hit the 32 track limit on some songs we're adding overdubs to - so very timely).

[quote name='Sibob' post='353766' date='Dec 13 2008, 06:14 PM']Is that something he emailed you? I haven't heard anything back! Si[/quote] No - that's what I'd be expecting as a reply!

[quote name='Sibob' post='352430' date='Dec 12 2008, 09:06 AM']I've asked for photos, including neck stamps and pickup cavity etc etc We'll see what turns up! Si[/quote] 'I'm living in Aberdeen at the moment - but if you send me payment by Western Union I'll send the bass to you straight away - with free shipping'

I mean, yes it's from the 70's and all, but the best part of 500 dollars for a pickguard? I think not.[/quote] Good old 'Tune-o-matic' - this is another one of his various eBay identities... A legendary dodgy (& offensive) character - famed for his insanely high prices for vintage parts & guitars. There's always fun to be had offering/baiting him $10 offers for his over-priced stuff - drives him nuts & will often result in a nasty reply. I'm sure we've had a few posts about him already (& on TB)???

Very fast payment. Good comms. A genuine pleasure to do business with. One of the Good Guys!

Fast payment, good comms - as always - a genuine pleasure to deal with! Thanks Nick.

Nightmare! Andy Viccars in Milton Keynes has a huge amount of experience & knowledge with neck break repairs - I've seen some amazing work he's done on a number of Gibsons (notorious for neck breaks) including a '64 335 that was in a terrible state & now looks perfect - [url="http://www.andyviccarscustom.co.uk/explorer.php"]check this one out on his website[/url]. He'd definitely give you good advice... But I would start at F Bass - as I suspect a new neck might be the best (& maybe the quickest?) option.

[quote name='ezbass' post='348412' date='Dec 8 2008, 10:43 AM']I was lucky enough to pick up a '63 Precision in April and since then I haven't gigged with anything else. My poor Roscoe Beck IV is wondering what it's done wrong as that was my number 1 bass. The RB is still a fantastic instrument, but the P always turns people's heads with its punch and sweet tone and from a playability POV it's a dream.[/quote] Ditto for my '62 Precision - nothing else can touch it...

[quote name='pete.young' post='347074' date='Dec 6 2008, 10:02 AM']Yes he does, a 301. He was using it on the BBC radio 2 sessions that were shown on BB4 last week.[/quote] Sold an identical all black one on the bay a few months back (no takers here) - I think they look very cool but mine had a VERY fat neck which didn't suit me...
