[quote name='Clarky' post='1037340' date='Nov 26 2010, 07:55 AM']TGIF bump - if anyone wants to road-test this at SE BassBash tomorow I will bring it along instead of my MB combo[/quote]
Yes mate, bring it along & see what it does with the Big Juan.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1036618' date='Nov 25 2010, 05:12 PM']If you insist - bung some strings on, if the bass buzzes to b*ggery turn the truss rod a bit so it doesn't any more, if the neck resembles a banana turn truss the other way. Simples. Then hand round lysdexia's photo album[/quote]


Which reminds me people, if you want to actually adjust yer bass during the setup section, I'd suggest a minimum of -

Strap
Tuner [& lead if required]
Allen key / truss rod tool +/- small screwdriver to remove any truss rod cover
The knowledge of which way tightens the rod
Allen key to adjust saddle height
Screwdriver / allen key to adjust intonation

Can someone do the same thing for setups please?

I'll be there by 9.30 Nik, can do any slot you like.

I'll have it after you.

I have one in my Euro 5 I think Pedro will know. 4-knob variant - vol/pan, B/T w/ pull bright, mid cut & boost/freq, passive tone w/ pull passive. To be honest, I only ever need a bit of mid for room EQ & bass when rolled onto the bridge pup and it does these well.

Let him use my Peavey Combo 300 when we supported them in 1997. Can't remember a thing about it. Do I win £5?

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1010382' date='Nov 3 2010, 09:09 AM']Just be aware that a fiver with 19mm spacing will feel like the flightdeck of an aircraft carrier at first, but 17mm arguably takes more getting used to and requires more changes (potentially) in your playing style.[/quote]
I think I'd agree with that. Whatever 5 you buy, why not unsolder one of the jack leads on your 4 so you can't use it?

I moved from a Spector Euro 4 to Euro 5 to see how I got on with 5's before getting one built. Now I can't bear to part with it, it's great. G&L L-2500's are nice too. As are ACG Dirty Ash Finn 5's & GB Spitfires...

1 amp, 1 cab. Do I win £5?

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='992150' date='Oct 18 2010, 12:47 PM']Can I ask for/suggest a set up master class? The idea being someone stands at the front and goes through a set up, and we all work on our own basses following the hints and tips. If as many people as possible try to bring their own tools, then lending to the odd person shouldn't be a problem.[/quote]
[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='992654' date='Oct 18 2010, 07:45 PM']I think this 'set up masterclass' idea is great and was mooted last year - any one out there who has the skills and confidence to lead it?[/quote]
Funny you should mention that, Mac.... Check yer PM Nik.

I will be there with the Pimp Euro 5, a Jap P, the LH / Big Juan rig and the DHA thing. And a couple of cans of lager.

Guilty. I have all the top end I need from the tinnitus.
