    [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1337188730' post='1656935'] I'm going to add a Mooer Pitch Box which is tiny for the 2 octave up stuff... [/quote] [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1337195150' post='1657062'] There are no samples at the mo. I'll do some when it arrives. [/quote] Any news on the Pitch Box(es) ? Andy

    I have an almost identical bass ... quilt top and an upgraded pre being the only difference. One of my favourites, have a bump on me.
  3. BigBeatNut
    Couple of questions: 1. What's the string spacing at the bridge, please ? 2. Can you run through the controls please. I see two switches, one of which is the mid boost, I guess, but also three knobs ... vol/vol/tone ? Thanks

    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1337788425' post='1665507'] and can I put my BSX Allegro upright in here too? [/quote] Nice Is that strung high C or low B ?

    Quite apart from the neck, I'd really like to know his justification for classifying this frankenbass as "Item condition: New other"

    I can't believe we've had nothing from the Greasy Beats so far ... putting that right -- [url="http://www.myspace.com/music/player?song=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fthegreasybeats%2Fmusic%2Fsongs%2Flowdown-express-26654647"]LOWDOWN EXPRESS by THE GREASY BEATS[/url]

    [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1337427249' post='1659736'] Really dig the mini board dude! [/quote] Cheers Silly thing is, that even at that size I'll have major problems fitting it into my space on the stage I most often play on.

    [quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1337204062' post='1657229'] Feel sorry for the person with the winning bid. I looked at his other items for sale to see if he was flogging an unused bridge centering tool, but no [/quote] There's no way to tell the guy to withdraw his bid, is tnere ? I wonder if I posted a question to the [s]buyer[/s] seller "that neck looks misaligned, can you tell me if you found it a problem ?" that he'd actually make the Q&A public ?

    [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1337414502' post='1659454'] The OCD in me says you need a set square!!! [/quote] They won't stay straight ... no velcro yet, just checking the layout.
  11. BigBeatNut
    I still have to wire up the daisy chain and velcro it down, but you get the idea .... So tell me, when it comes to velcro, is there any good reason to do spiky side on pedals, soft side on board, or the other way round ... or doesn't it matter at all ?
  12. BigBeatNut
    .... and why use two mics for bass and guitar when you can do both with one mic ? (I wish I could find a link to the article where Gabe Roth talks in detail about his approach to recording)

[/quote] [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1337189250' post='1656953'] i had a look at them this morning, didnt have time to check out the samples! [/quote] The only samples I know about are [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/tiny-pedals-1590a-pedals-833936/index15.html#post12573928"]HERE[/url]. If anyone can point me at any more I'd be grateful, because it doesn't sound like what I want so far. (Which is an OC-2 style 1-octave down ... just that)
  16. BigBeatNut
    I lost track of your plans for the Lakie HB ... were you going to get a second, fretted, neck for it ?
  17. BigBeatNut
    The full upright has left the building.

    On Hold

    I won't beat about the bush ... this bass is tatty. However it served it's purpose for me and that was to cheaply find out if an upright was for me. Downsides: 1. A huge chip out of the scroll, that will need a lot of TLC if a repair is attempted 2. Small gaps between the back table and ribs. Glued and holding 3. A split in one of the ribs. Repaired and holding 4. Splits in the top table (is that right ?) which have been patched from behind and are holding well. 5. Scuffs, scrapes and chips everywhere. Upsides: 1. A cheap way to find out if upright is for you 2. A bass which would have a market value of maybe £700 [b]IF[/b] you were able to put your own time and skills into it. (Would cost too much for a repairer to get it to that state). 3. I'm not going to try to recoup the costs of the repairs I had done at MJ Healey Violins It sounds reasonable to me (bearing in mind this is the only full upright I've posessed), but would probably be improved by replacing the ancient set of strings. I have an unused set of strings (Spirocore lights/weichs) that I think are too long for my EUB, so we may be able to do a deal there. The top is carved, the back is flat, but I'm pretty sure it's not ply. The ribs I don't know about but to be on the safe side, let's say they're ply. It's a 3/4 made by Reghin (according to the label inside). Which means somewhere in Eastern Europe, can't remember where. Age ... really not sure, but given the wear and tear, it's no youngster. I'm moving it on because despite still wanting to do upright, I'm not gigging an upright (not even the EUB) and I can't justify the space it takes up. I'm asking £250 collected from London. A shade under what it cost me on feeBay about 5 years ago.

    [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1336986546' post='1653446'] You'll probably will want this moving to the DB For Sale section. I'm sure one of the mods will happily oblige. [/quote] Doh ! Missed that. Explains why I couldn't find any uprights in 'basses for sale'. More than happy for some moderator to move this thread. If that doesn't happen I'll repost.

    Awesome
