Tim is a graphic designer by trade and is very good at tweaking ideas to make just what you want, he has a done a couple for me, and I started with just a vague thought in my head both times! He is based in Bedford, so not too far from you Osiris, he makes very good coffee, so well worth a phone call I would say!!

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1501773816' post='3347282'] [i]Also, Mick might have to buy a Willcox Sabre and knobble it for parts if he wants you to make one Andy so I think you're okay for a bit. Hang on... he's standing right behind me isn't he? Oh Hi Mick. Good to see you mate![/i] [/quote] LMAO!!!...Is Mick's real name Leroy Jethro Gibbs perchance?

I couldn't hear the 1st one and lost one at 12kHz, funnily enough I got those after apart from the very last one. I have some high frequency tinnitus..and now I know what the frequency is lol Not bad for 57, although having worked for many years on the railway, I am used to wearing earplugs, so I guess that has helped. mine was 20-30

I love these builds with lots of pics,, its great to see a project developing...keep it up!!

Oooh this sounds interesting

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1501627332' post='3346127'] A David Eden rig was something I always wanted. The players that I admired were always photographed with one in Bassplayer magazine adverts. There was an old and much battered one at a studio I was in a few years ago, it sounded magnificent! [/quote] I still have my Eden 4x10XST and a...err..WT400 head? Sounds wonderful, weighs at least 3 times that of my current rig...sounds awesome though. I like the idea of TE but the weight, ooh man I can't hack that.

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1501444159' post='3344723'] There's a school near me with a girl called A-ha, which leaves mostly people doing their best Partridge impersonation or if they are slightly more original singing Take On Me. It's pronounced A-dash-a. [/quote] Some people must really hate their kids....That is ridiculous!!!!

[quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1501177453' post='3343145'] To me? Sorry, I haven't seen anything - unless you're also doubling as another Basschat member who I did get a PM from last night?! [/quote] No I sent a PM to Phil.c60 re his spare Yamaha PA, sorry for the confusion.

PM sent

I love my DR neon's, in white they complement that bass perfectly...What a beautiful build!! Kudo to you Andy, and to The Greek for thinking this up!!!

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1500625567' post='3339137'] That's just taken the lead for me [/quote] Agreed.... 'Dali's Daydream' FTW!!!

Nice find, I shall have a peruse after work!

Welcome aboard Tomsk, I hope you find everything you might want here I'm impressed you want to jump straight in with a 5 string, Ibenez certainly have slim necks so maybe a 4 string would be even better for your small hands?

PM sent...sounds interesting

Saw Cheap Trick supported by Stone Broken at Kentish Town Forum a couple of weeks back. Sound quality for Stone Broken was spot on, everything clear and well defined and levels were nigh on perfect. Bodes well for Cheap Trick thinks I......... Wrong!!!!! So loud it was painful, even away from the PA, mushy and muffled, couldn't hear a guitar solo through the racket, spoiled the evening for me. Is it an age thing maybe? louder not always better IMHO

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1499690604' post='3332945'] Yes, some of the references are obvious (it sounds the offspring of WYWH, Animals and The Final Cut) and he needs to cheer up a bit, but... I really like it. What's your thoughts..? [/quote] Yup he def ripping himself off there, a bit too derivative for me I'm afraid.

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1499669841' post='3332777'] I'd suggest jamming some stuff to get them improvising. Set a groove going and see what comes out. Classical music is very rigid and most other types are the complete opposite. It will take time to adapt. [/quote] This, plus, all the celtic folk type music I see played in pubs is pretty improvised on the spot anyway.....which to me is much better than rigid 'doing it by the numbers'

I didn't start until I was 42, totally self taught, no other musical experience. was playing in a band after about 4 months, it can be done, don't think about it, just DO IT!!!! 15 years later I'm still loving it, and still gigging fairly regular, its the best buzz I can get fully clothed.

That's just too cool! the closest I can get is band being booked support for 'From The Jam' at a festival, then having the thing cancelled at the 11th hour
