BB2000

[quote name='andy boyle' post='558931' date='Aug 3 2009, 03:03 AM']I have a very old beat up looking BB2000 with a maple body,straight thru neck and rosewood finger board.I hope this information can throw some lite on some of issues that some people have,but i have a problem with this bass,it has a twist in the neck,can it be fixed?[/quote] If the neck is stable a luthier could probably put on a new fingerboard, but I doubt that it will realistically be cost effective to fix. NB - Your body is alder, and the fingerboard is ebony. The neck is maple and mahogany.

[quote name='geoffbassist' post='538215' date='Jul 12 2009, 12:10 AM']i think that there are some gigs that a 1 12 will do, jazz jam sessions, gigs without drummers, quiet rehearsals etc.. but if u would be using 2 then i would just use your db212....of course if you just want one then that makes sense but if you use 2 together then the benifit of size is kinda equaled out by your 212 being on wheels (unless there are serious stairs and you are on your own).....i used to own a gs112 and i really didnt use alone on anything other than jazz gigs...... saying that im replacing my hs410 with 2 EA wizzys. Im getting a normal one imported to add to my mline 12 which i use for upright. by using 2 with my db750 i can get the tone i want but if i played electric only i would stick with the hs410 and buy a small cheap 112 cab for suitable small gigs/practice.... Good luck....hope aggies are going well, i bet they sound amazing! :-)[/quote] I use a pair of EAs, a normal one together with an MLine, and only play electric. I use them with a Genz Neopack giving and the combination makes a really light adaptable rig. I've never tried Bergs but I wouldn't use Aguilar GS cabs if I got them for free. They have a massive mid range scoop, which makes them sound great if you're playing in isolation, but in a band situation they are hopeless. Bass is in the mids, and the Aggies just don't have any.

I've owned a fretted unique 4, and would have to say I'd never buy another Schack. As for Andy Schack, he is best described as an arse. I would do a bit more research on his basses and the man himself before spending your cash.

Any chance of uploading the transcriptions Rob sent you (if he's happy with that)?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' post='521957' date='Jun 23 2009, 06:40 PM']I've also seen an article by Dan Erlewine from a couple of years back [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/superglue-savior/jun-06/20674"]here[/url]. I've thought about trying it on my Westone fretless, but never got around to it...[/quote] I tried following that article after having a fretless with a thor finish on loan. Needless to say, it's a bit more difficult than Dan makes it out to be. If trying to do it again I'd practice on a hardwood offcut first, until I was happy with the results.

I've always preferred the look of lollipop tuners to elephant ears. It's surprising that only Hipshot seem to offer them. Nice bass - looks like you have a quarter sawn neck there.
