TPJ

I know a few on here own these. Are you using them exclusively for DB? Do you run your electric bass through it as well? If you don't use it exclusively for DB, the why not? I want to replace my Mesa Walkabout Scout 12 and get a new speaker that can cover DB gigs and function gigs on electric bass. Niether of the bands is "loud". I'm wondering about getting a MAS45 and using it with an AI Focus head or a Little Mark II as a nice clear speaker that can cover both bands. Thoughts?

[quote name='Jezyorkshire' timestamp='1396488176' post='2414303'] just done the exercises for my left shoulder that i was given when i had the frozen shoulder problem couple of years ago, bleedin hell, its definitely in a state, the sensation im getting in my wrist may be referred pain/aching from this problem , this is obviously having an impact on getting my elbow up and the shoulder muscles/shoulder rotation working properly. [/quote] I had to lay off for a year Jez due to a combination of tennis/golfers elbow (pain on both sides). The physio would not only work on my arm, she would also work on my neck and shoulder. She informed me that it's all connected and indeed the neck work often releived my arm pain. Good technique is helpful but so is a degree of physical strength. I got injured because I wasn't playing much in general, had a week off playing and then played a high energy gig. That blew my arm out :/

Lovely!

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1395672868' post='2404877']There is nothing at all wrong with my bass i just fancy having a "nice" bass. [/quote] I'm in the same place, and even looking at Dukes (Peacemaker is my G.A.S), and keep thinking that I'd rather knock around a £700 bass than a £2000 bass, but the desire for something new/different is still there. Sorry to hear about yout mum by the way.

Lovely. Enjoy

That bass looks very subtle but I bet it roars with those pickups

Congrats on the new bass. Enjoy

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1394450911' post='2391375'] Ye scamp. Alan is correct, clash of dates which I realised all too late. Don't fret, I will be back - this is the first one I've missed! Just don't expect the gear to be the same as it would have been this year [/quote] Matt, can you get your basses over to the bash even if you aren't coming? There are a few I'd like to try

[quote name='blinddrew' timestamp='1393185241' post='2377148'] Hmm, I'm very tempted by this - thing is I have a cheapo gear4music bass and I am wondering if I'll really get anything out of it? Anyone else tried one on a really bottom-end bass? [/quote] My bass is a cheaply and the end pin made a noticible difference.

I had a look at their FB page and that Peacemaker is right up my alley. What a lovely shape.

[quote name='benbastin' timestamp='1392592876' post='2370528'] Thanks guys. Appreciate the feed back. Glad your happy Tom. Mind if I add your words to my site? Ben [/quote] Yes, that 's fine Ben.

I recently purchased a walnut version from Ben and these end pins definitely add something to the sound. I did some tests with a few different people listening and they all mentioned a change in the tone for the better, that the tone was "bigger". I'd say if you're looking to add that extra bit to your sound, these are definitely worth a look.

[quote name='benbastin' timestamp='1391600898' post='2358961'] New particularly pretty pin made for Mr TPJ. Thought people might like to see. [/quote] It is lovely indeed. Too bad the rest of my bass looks a wreck I'll be digging out my Jr Hacksaw the next few days to remove the old metal endpin and I'll compare the two during a long rehearsal this weekend.

Nice bass Clarky How loud are they acoustically? I remember playing one at Mr Bassman's a while ago but can't recall what they were like.

Yep, we had a trio of acoustic guitar, DB and cajon playing Rolling Stones to Kylie. I never thought it would work but the crowds loved it. I think if you play familiar songs, your brain fills in any missing parts. It works well.

I had a Yaris for a long while and the DB easily fit in that with room for 3 people. I'd put one rear seat down and the head of the bass came through where the gear lever is.

Nice one mate, and I hope they stick to their word.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1387532389' post='2312934'] Some of the nicest people on the planet populate the DB section. Christmas greetings not only to the experienced members who have contributed so much but also to those who are starting on their DB journeys. I'm not too bad right now, just getting over a bout of pneumonia and looking forward to resuming on 30th Dec. My pizz fingers are a bit buttery but I'll just have to start practicing again! Wishing you all a lot of DB fulfillment in 2014. [/quote] Glad you're feeling better. Happy Holidays everyone.

String swap with Clarky, ironically for the strings I bought off him A very easy transaction as always with great comms. A++ basschatter.

Brilliant, looks great. You must be glad to have her back again

What is the relationship of Ohms on the IEM buds to output and sound quality? Looking at the IEMs on offer on the Thomann page, they seem to range quite a bit from around 15-17 ohms all the way up to 38 ohms.
