+2 Make sure it doesn't have room to thrash about in the box, and don't forget - you're sending a bass guitar, not a crate full of frozen unicorn tears - a bass is a pretty tough little bugger Unless you run over it with a tractor

My daughter is at the Royal College of Music. She studies flute, recorder, baroque flute, baroque recorder, and triangle (I may have that last one wrong) PM me your email address and I'll pass it onto her

Thanks Martin - Precision GAS got the better of me - it was a lovely bass. I enjoyed its short stay with me -
A pair of new JJ ECC82's will cost you about £25 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12AU7-ECC82-JJ-TESLA-Amp-Tube-Valve-NEW-/331105758932?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item4d1770eed4 It didn't change the tone on my TB500 very much, but does drop the gain down so the thing doesn't go ballistic until the gain gets to about 2.00

Bump to the top for the last 2 days to bag the pair

My current settings (in clock format) are Gain 12.00 Compressor 9.00 Bass 2.00 Mid 12.00 Treble 1.00 Colour - off or up to 9.00 depending on what I'm playing. Any more than that and I find it too mushy It doesn't have the full-on dirty grind of the TB500 gain, but I like that. I want 'chunky' not 'dirty'

I've had one for a few weeks now, replacing an Orange TB500, and I love it. It's taken a lot of playing around with the gain/compressor/colour settings to find 'my' tone, but it sounds so much 'fatter' than the TB Certainly sounds good through a BF Super 12T - and no shortage of bottom end It really did sound good with a Precision I had recently I got mine brand new from Thomann, with a 3 year warranty, for not much more than some used ones on here And as a bonus, the little orange LED's inside it add to the valve glow so it looks super-cool as well

Yup -
So is it still for sale, or was this just a trip down memory lane? ;-) Interested -
Lots of pictures added here http://s1304.photobucket.com/user/Dave_Huxley/slideshow/Westone%20Thunder%201A

and replied You Basschatters have until Sunday night to bag the pair, or the fretless goes on a solo trip to Coventry on Monday morning

They're not for sale - too nice

This may be a bit unusual, but perhaps there's a Westone/Matsumoku fan out there who would be interested in an almost matching pair of Thunder 1A basses As you can see, I have a fretted and fretless version. The fretless is a 1983 Mk II, with a P pup and brass bridge. The fretted is a 1986 Mk III with a Magnabass humbucker and highmass bridge. Both in perfect working order on active & passive circuits. [b]Fretless now sold - fretted available at [s]£150 delivered to UK address, or cheaper if collect[/s] a sensible offer that won't make me snort with derision [/b] A lovely slideshow of them is here [url="http://s1304.photobucket.com/user/Dave_Huxley/slideshow/Westone%20Thunder%201A"]http://s1304.photobu...%20Thunder%201A[/url]

Played this at a jam session yesterday, and it sounds awesome. The pups are loud and growly when played with a pick, and full-on thump with fingers.

[color=#333333]I bought this bass recently as a fixer-upper. Now it's all fixed, it can go to a new home. It's been given a thorough going over and is now in full working order and properly set up. [/color] [color=#333333]It has a new tone pot and capacitor - no crackles or pops any more. A brand new set of Rotosound flat wound strings, for that classic P bass thump. A set of Squier pups off a 20th Anniversary model. I've replaced the cracked, original, white scratch plate with a rather sexy looking black one, b[/color][color=#333333]ut you can have the old one as well if you want.[/color] [color=#333333]The neck has some lovely tiger stripes on it and the truss rod works as it should. It's set quite flat and the action is low. The intonation is spot on.[/color] [color=#333333]There are a few dings on the body which I've touched up, and some light scratching in the back. For this money, I wasn't going to do a full strip and spray job on it. It will have the original strap buttons back on it, not the Schallers as pictured.[/color] [color=#333333]A good solid, dependable, work horse bass, with plenty of P bass grunt. Weighs exactly 9lb for those who need to know these things.[/color] [color=#333333]Yours for £130 delivered to a UK address - bit cheaper if you can collect from Truro or St Austell[/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333] [/color]

Opinions on talking to audience between songs
davehux replied to bonzodog's topic in General Discussion
Video yourselves at a gig. Play it back in the cold, hard, sober, light of day and see how it came across. When I did it, the gaps between songs where the guitard was in 'now which pedal do I need for Mustang Sally, and I better have a retune for the 40th time tonight' mode, made a standard tumbleweed moment look like the eruption of Krakatoa -
Price dropped to £250 including delivery
