    I met Billy twice - once at a bass clinic and once at a Mr.Big aftershow party (namedropper eh ). Both times he was the consumate gentleman and was eager to talk about all things bass. Great sense of humour and he had time for people. A lovely man...and scary bass player...!

    Apparently a Midget and Compact combined is pretty devastating...though I haven't tried them. Have a read of the feedback on the Barefaced website: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/customer-feedback.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/customer-feedback.htm[/url]

    I use a very early John East J-Retro preamp in my Fender Jazz and it is excellent. I actually got involved in testing this with John when he was designing it pre-production.

    Trying out the cab at the Barefaced facility won't let you hear what it can do in a band situation. Why not take up Alex's offer of a thirty day trial on whichever cab he recommends for your needs, then you can try it out proper loud at rehearsals and gigs...? I feel that this is a fantastic offer and shows how confident he is of his cabs abilities - I'm saving for a Barefaced Super 12 myself (2X12) - it only weighs 40lbs...!

    I agree - a very common method of revenue generation these days...best avoided.

    Yes I didn't make that very clear - the Epi EB0 still suffers from a larger-than-Gibson headstock. I would think that with the extra mass of an added bridge pickup, it should balance better than stock at least.

    Beautiful - like fine furniture. Good luck with your sale.

    The reason the Epiphone EB3 is neck-heavy is because it's long scale (34") whereas the Gibson and Epiphone EB0 are short scale (30.5"). Also, the Epiphone EB3 has a MASSIVE headstock which certainly doesn't help. Gibson produced the original EB3 as a short scale bass (1961) and then introduced the EB3L with a full 34" scale in 1970. I reckon a good compromise could be had by buying a current (or secondhand) Epiphone EB0 and adding a bridge pickup, creating a short scale EB3 type thing for cheap. I've seen Epi EB0s sell for under £100 so a £200 budget should see you done I reckon. This thread may give you some more ideas: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e66b06f6c8b3aa79d639cfea741f02ba&topic=3000.0

    [quote name='Davout' timestamp='1325489597' post='1483530'] I have the Butterscotch Blonde CV '50s P Bass, & it has a Pine body, as has the matching '50s Telecaster guitar. Still plays rather nicely, though. Tony. [/quote] Pine is actually one of the most resonant woods for musical instruments - it can be a little soft though and dent easily. Don't knock Pine, physically or verbally

    [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1325453342' post='1483355'] Have you tried a byoc as above? [/quote] I don't use delay on bass but I have experience of other BYOC pedals including the 'Phase 90' clone which I bought and put together in an afternoon - it is excellent. So good in fact that I sold my MXR Phase 90 There's more info and sounds from the BYOC analogue delay here: [url="http://www.buildyourownclone.com/analogdelay.html"]http://www.buildyourownclone.com/analogdelay.html[/url]

    I have three Behringer rack compressors, HA400 mini headphone amp and a Vintage Delay pedal which have all performed without fault.

    [quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1325347203' post='1482374'] I started Yoga a year ago - it's done wonders for my back and posture [/quote] The drummer I'm currently playing with started doing Yoga around a year ago and he says how much it has helped him too.

    I understand - I'm really after a Super Twelve anyway. Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='bassman2790' timestamp='1325070568' post='1479492'] Why should it be a back-up? I gigged with a GSR190J (from the jumpstart package) for 12 months. I even got a compliment on my sound at a wedding from a Ric 4003 owner I know that my fellow band mates would look at me as though I'd lost all grip on reality if I left either of the Fenders on a stand while I played the BB414, but the Yamaha is of equal build quality to either of the Fenders and the BB tones aren't a million miles away from the Precision. [/quote] Maybe I should qualify that more by adding that I often use the GSR200 as my main bass - it's hard to put down...
  22. StraightSix
    I love my Ibanez GSR200 which doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet...P+J pickups, rosewood board and plays like a dream. I can highly recommend this model to anyone wanting an inexpensive first bass or backup for gigging - it plays as well as my MIJ 62 RI Fender Jazz.

    Hi - Does the DHA VT1 include the power supply...?
  25. StraightSix
    I have a 1210 4X10 combo at 48kg plus a 29kg 2X10 xtension and it sounds wicked. I know, to make it easy, I need a trolley - I'm thinking about 3/4" ply with four 4" rubber-wheeled castors. A straight board just to make it easy to move - them I'm happy 'cos it's worth moving...
