  1. This bass looks identical to one I owned. I foolishly traded it for something else at the Bass Gallery in the late 90's Bump for a great bass.
  2. That Krappy site is fantastic and they look to be a great intro into this style of playing. My sausage shaped fingers would make this sort of thing rather difficult I would think
  3. [quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1327485070' post='1511905'] These are good deals and jez is a great guy. [/quote] +1
  4. Interesting that most are playing with a German bow.
  5. Is this neck significantly heavier than a wooden equivalent?
  6. Where are you located Matt?
  7. [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1327315964' post='1509072']...but what i really want is a propper DB.[/quote] That one OldHorseMurphy is selling would be ideal.
  8. [quote name='Squib' timestamp='1327276506' post='1508871'] Hey mate . . . it's sound wicked ! I used it with a Scout 1x12 , then an EA NL210 . Beautiful rich tubey tones .[/quote] +1 These are great sounding and flexible heads. I run mine in the walkabout cab for double bass and smaller electric gigs. For bigger gigs it drives 2 Aggie GS112s. Never fails to get a great sound.
  9. A Full Circle would work well too.
  10. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1327014085' post='1505394'] I am happy with my Innovation Honeys but prefered the lower tension on the Innovation Rockabillys but they bow like ...... Ugh. [/quote] I thought the Rockabillys where the same tension as the Honeys, just black. Does the braided core make that much difference? (sorry for the hijack)
  11. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1327046737' post='1505516']I think I will take Geoff's advice and stick with the AI head, at least for now. [/quote] +1
  12. I think the doubling bit is the hard part. Making the amp right for both leccy and DB can be a challenge. Still, I think the AI with different preamps in front would do the trick. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Focus for electric with something like a Tech21 pedal in front.
  13. [quote name='bassvid75' timestamp='1326967057' post='1504306'] i've heard from a friend of mine that the Mesa Boogie Walkabout 300 its perfect for both.[/quote] I use a Mesa Walkabout 12 for both leccy and DB. I don't really aim to reproduce the acoustic tone exactly but it does a good job for both. Nice flexible parametric eq.
  14. I can only echo the others. DB is a great instrument and very rewarding to play. Takes some time but well worth it.
  15. I bought some Hipshot Ultralight tuners off Stevie. They arrived very quickly, well packed and just as described. Top man to deal with. Thanks again.
  16. Congrats, that's a fine instrument to get started on.
  17. [quote name='Moos3h' timestamp='1326566844' post='1499018'] Could you just confirm dimensions to be 100% sure they'll fit my Jazz? Thanks![/quote] I've measured these with a decent ruler but should be taken as a very near approximation. Neck pickup: L=90mm w=18mm measurement between centre of the screw holes is approximately 37mm Bridge pickup: L=95mm w=18mm measurement between centre of the screw holes is approximately 40mm PM'd Moos3h
  18. Friday bump for some great pups.
  19. [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1326446155' post='1497217'] ok you buggers,i might have to nip into gear4music just to have a look / go on one & see how massive it actually is,then of course once i have talked myself into it i'll have to flog my G&L. i'm still not shure about the transport thing though as my bro's vectra estate has to fit my gear + his gear,including his two Gretsch guitars so i don't think it'll go. [/quote] Tell him to leave one of his guitars at home
  20. [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1326283185' post='1494831'] i think i'm hooked,i've already been looking at good quality EUB's----here comes the GAS[/quote] I'd skip the EUB and go straight for the doghouse if you can
  21. There is a realist on ebay right now.
  22. [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1325698154' post='1486299'] thanks for that Tom,do you know how i can get in touch with him. i must admit i'm really looking forward to it,i just love the sound of an upright. p.s. how's the P bass going ? i'm really loving the Big Al [/quote] Just find his profile and PM him. He'll probably read this post as well. Here's a link [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/410-geoffbassist/"]http://basschat.co.uk/user/410-geoffbassist/[/url] I had the P for a little while but a deal came up for a Stingray so I swapped. Glad the Al is working out.
  23. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1325678707' post='1485910'] I am also gradually learning to play without clenching my teeth! (seriously, its a bad habit I am trying to break)) [/quote] I stick my lower jaw out when playing DB for some reason...after a few sets it gets a little sore. I've tried to work on it but I'm too busy playing and forget. I'll end up looking like Quagmire
