    Faith Acoustic

    [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/rareearth/index.php"]Fishman Rare Earth[/url] pickups are another option. They are soundhole-mounted magnetic pickups with neodymium magnets. Pro - no piezo 'quack', comes with an endpin jack that only requires a single hole to be made (or none at all on most Taylors) Con - no onboard preamp option (afaik) They also do the passive [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/neo-d/"]Neo D[/url] (single coil) and [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/blackstack/"]Blacstack[/url] (humbucker).
  2. A Precision. I'll fetch me coat...
  3. Ideal for wiring up a home studio! For £25 you will get:[list] [*]20 Easy-Lock solderless straight brass jack plugs [*]10 lengths of Easy-Lock instrument cable, total length over 25m (1x5.2m, 1x4.5m, 1x3.9m, 1x3.6m, 2x3.4m, 2x0.9m) [*]UK delivery [/list] This a very easy system to use - cut the cable cleanly at 90 degrees, slip the barrel over the end, press the cable firmly into the connector, and tighten the barrel onto the thread. Simples!
  4. [quote name='paul h' timestamp='1466067386' post='3073101'] I think I would lean towards putting the songs in the best position in the set overall. [/quote] This.
  5. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466013110' post='3072840'] That's good. It's the wrong colour anyway. [/quote] Wrong colour for metal!
  6. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464966860' post='3064248'] But now there's HORIZONTAL POSITION Speakon Porn!! [/quote] Does that cable actually reach the socket like that?
  7. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Great slogan there![/font][/color]
  8. No doubt resident Japanese bass expert Bassassin will be along soon to help you out.
  9. Matchless Lightning 15 Reverb guts:
  10. Glad you're liking the G&L Ed! I did suffer a pang of seller's regret but I have just made an offer on a rather lush P so that feeling soon went. I think you're right, there are factors in play other than the weight of the instrument. Playing the Mustang feels like a night off because the short scale means less of a stretch for the left arm/hand/fingers, even though it doesn't weigh that much less than my '73. I must get round to weighing my '63 RI...
  11. Karl do you know what year this was made?
  12. In my party band we do [i]Treasure[/i], [i]Locked Out Of Heaven[/i], [i]Marry You[/i], and [i]Uptown Funk[/i].
  13. Nice review Chris. Don't think I'll be getting one unless I win the lottery...
  14. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1465572549' post='3069389'] Whenever somebody asks from Europe, my answer is always the same. I need payment making first, in Great British Pounds. This usually takes around 3 days to clear in the bank. I need the buyer to arrange and pay for their own INSURED courier AFTER I have informed the buyer of payment clearing. The buyer just informs me what day the courier will collect. It's usually around £60 I take no responsibilty after the bass has been collected by the courier. If I courier in the UK and something goes wrong, I can get in the car and go raise Hell at the courier's Head Office. I can not do that on the continent. I ask for these conditions to protect myself, as I was ripped off a few years back by an Italian. I was left with no money and no bass. I have feedback at the bottom of this thread. Members Aero71 and electriccheese have both bought by following the above conditions. It might be an idea to ask them what they thought of buying from me. [/quote] Very wise.
  15. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1465382043' post='3067645'] At gigs I'm careful with my instruments but not precious about them. As others have said if you really don't look after them then they stop working reliably and that gets in the way of the performance. On the other hand a few knocks and scrapes won't affect them and if they get too battered looking then I can always get them refinished and looking brand new again. [/quote] This. I use cases and covers to keep my kit in good nick, but I'm not too upset if a bass does pick up a ding or scratch.
  16. Ed just bought my 5-er. He asked some well-thought-out questions before we made the deal, which to me is a major plus - you need to be sure that you want to buy! Ed came to my place to try out the bass first, and we enjoyed a pleasant half an hour chatting over a coffee while he put the bass through its paces. Enjoy!
  17. Is Dawn one of the members of the girl band? *fetches coat*
