police squad

yes, my mate said there is weird crown noise on there I'll go and buy the dvd

this is fab. My late brother was a massive yes fan and I occasionally dip in and listen to the albums but this is great. Jon's voice is first class here

He's absolutely smashing it here, using Kemper profiling amps too

Brad Paisley is fantastic. Go and listen to his stuff

that looks spectacular

About 17 years ago I bought this bass on ebay. 200 quid. Used it for a bit then lent it to my brother in Italy about 13 years ago Went to visit him last week and brought it back to Blighty with me. Restrung with roto swing bass. New battery and wow, what a bass Weighs only 7 pounds so should keep the neck and shoulders happy

thanks Phil, I'll take the back off one and measure. It's a slanted cab

I'm sorry, did you say I have to do maths!! Where do I find the character 'Maths'

I take it we can buy off the shelf port tubes then?

before you sell them, please PM me,

this is all useful stuff, maybe converting to a 2x12 is a plan

I've tried nickel rounds yes, but can't remember what they were like now, I've been back using Swing Bass for about about 10 years now. I love them when they are new and when they are old and thuddy.

I want to re-use my old cabs, I can sell the vintage 30s and put that towards the new speakers. I'll probably never play guitar using a 4 x12 (My 1 x 12 combo is perfect) and rather than trying to sell them for peanuts, I can re-purpose them, Even if I only use them once in a while

A few moons ago, I set about with a friend, to build lovely valve guitar amps. WKZ we were called. Got a few good reviews and sold a few too. Here's a picture with Phil Hilbourne trying it My woodwork was done in the midlands and the 4x12 cabs were basically old laney cabs. Birch ply, a bit smaller than a classic Marshall cab, loaded with vintage 30s. They sounded fab too. I still have a couple of these cabs lying around and was thinking that maybe, if I changed the drivers to something more bass appropriate, would they make reasonable bass cabs. ( I have the only straight cab made, to make a full stack, all my cabs were angled. I could have a back breaking full stack, like I did when I was young.................stupid..................stronger............wanting to be louder than the guitarist. When I first started gigging on bass I had a Trace Elliot AH150 Mk V thru a brand new marshall 4x12 bass cab. Sometimes my mark bass club 1 x15 just doesnt have enough oomph, on stage. It's rare but I know when I can't get it against a wall, it lacks bottom end (fine in the PA though) Your thoughts please lovely bass chatters Otherwise I'll probably strip the vintage 30s out and sell them singularly

I like the sound of knackered rounds, you know, just before they break. If i could have a set of flats on my P bass (or Jazz) that's what I would like

jazz bass, THIN WEEDY NECKS HONKY BRIDGE P/UP EEEEEAAAAAUUUUWWWWW I love my Fender Flea jazz bass and it's a keeper!!

yep really good, I still wouldn't know what to buy though. I have La Bellas on my hofner, THUD, it goes. Lovely

That's the bass her dad bought her, all those years ago

It helped me date my '73. I thought for years it was a '75, because of the serial number on the neck plate. The original pickup had a messy date stamp that I didnt know if it was '73 or '79. After much googling of images, it was a '73 stamp. But the bridge and the longer screw secured it . There did use to be stamps on the heel of the neck, the 4 digits and then another 4. There was no info available when I bought it in 1990 but after countless gigs, sweating buckets (and I mean buckets) the stamps are gone. (but there is a folded piece of paper in the neck pocket with a message to ring 'Jimmy Page'. So I did. Got a very disgruntled Mr Page on the phone.

on a P bass, yes. I have one. They put the bridge in the wrong place and compensated with a longer screw for the G to intonate

I actually discovered the pre shape only recently, I've resisted because I didn't like the trace pre shape. But i pressed it at the last gig and the result was fab. Sadly I have no gigs booked in which I play bass at the moment. Maybe one day........................

yep I have the rm500 evo II, love it.

I had the Sting signature bass. It was a lovely instrument. No one ever commented on it being the Sting bass. Most people dont care. I also had the Steve Harris WHUFC bass. I'm a hammers fan and I was a big Maiden fan when I was younger. I used the WHUFC bass on 3 gigs. It was too heavy for my poor old shoulders/neck and back. It sounded wonderful and had a fantastic neck on it, again no one seemed to care. I then read, on here, that I might get grief from some pi55ed up football fans, which I hadn't thought of and it made me not really want to gig it. I sold it, I wish I had kept the neck and made a parts bass, maybe a PJ of some description.
