Here you go, £329 from GAK, 34" scale length, all the upper-fret access you could want, the Steinberger Spirit XT-25: You could always retro-fit an active preamp if that's a deal-breaker.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1406272141' post='2509907'] Isn't that 'Off Topic'? [/quote] Exactly what I thought, the moment [i]after[/i] I'd posted [quote name='charic' timestamp='1406280293' post='2510036'] I don't think it would be very conducive to the BC spirit, do you? [/quote] The BC spirit could carry on in the the 'proper' threads. Perhaps we could have the 'car park' hosted on youspilledmypint.com

Wanna take it outside mate?

I believe I have just had a brilliant idea: Sometimes in a BC thread, two members will get themselves into a verbal tussle (which may or may not be directly related to the thread topic) whilst others attempt to continue the thread around them. Instead of deleting the ever more acrimonious posts, perhaps the mods could move the content to The Local's 'car park', where the pugnacious posters can indulge in as much flaming and willy-waggling as they wish. Other members would have the option of ignoring them and concentrating on the original thread, or forming a virtual circle around the contestants and egging them on to greater verbal violence. Well it seemed like a brilliant idea when I first thought of it...

I could be up for this, just down the M5 for me. Depends whether I'm gigging of course...

I've not seen any but I do recall reading the review in Guitarist magazine.

Use your tone control(s).

[quote name='spaners' timestamp='1405855283' post='2505764'] Sounds like an interesting day. So long as im not away with work I could bring a couple of shortscales, moded and home built valve amps. Will put it on my planner with an alarm or two [/quote] Home built valve amps - now you're talking!

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1405847624' post='2505657'] Also, as a bonus the bridal party had requested we not play Sex On Fire (possibly Christian concerns, not sure) so it was nice not to have to knock that one out. [/quote] Fnarr fnarr!

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1405812571' post='2505548'] I'll never sell it. [/quote] How many times have we heard this on BC? *sigh*

I listened to that all the way through - that's rare for me when it comes to YouTube bass demos!

[quote name='rapscallion' timestamp='1405779642' post='2505189'] Is that because it needs something to drive it? [/quote] Yes it needs a current amplifier (in theory anyway) - most spring drivers use a valve or op-amp working like a small power amp.

You can't just connect the send and return direct to a 'naked' reverb tank, but no reason why you can'y use an outboard spring reverb unit. The only problem will be finding one!

[quote name='paulears' timestamp='1405767577' post='2505056'] How about a hunting horn! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_bbfuerst_pless_horn.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._pless_horn.htm[/url] [/quote] Wouldn't it be great to pull it out at gigs and give the audience the horn. Oh wait...

There was one listed on [url="http://aloewood54.rssing.com/chan-23797812/all_p271.html"]Gumtree[/url] for £40. I'm guessing it's a 50W 1980s model that will have been sold under various brand names, so that price would be about right.

+1, love mine

Rhythm. You can play really low and fudge the pitch, but if you haven't nailed the rhythm, you ain't doing your job!

A 'no' from me, but it would suit an 80s electro tribute band.
