budget bassist

[quote name='tombboy' post='418289' date='Feb 24 2009, 12:30 PM']Exactly what I have done now. The monitor didn't give enough clearance in the middle shelf. Trouble is, I've have a big hole to fill now. Something impressive looking with flashing lights... doesn't have to function!! Or I could have a couple of lava lamps!!![/quote] Yeah that's what i would have suggested. Also, if you're using cubase, i've found that a second monitor can be INCREDIBLY handy. Looking good though, i'm rather envious!

I had an old jay turser MM copy back in the day which came with a 2+2 headstock config, i had to switch two of the tuners and turn one (the E string) upside down to get it to have the 3+1 headstock config of a normal musicman, i never did get the hang of the E string going the wrong way!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='418321' date='Feb 24 2009, 12:52 PM']It's supposed to counter-act head-dive...[/quote] How does that work then? Oh and nice bass there, i have to say, that and the new epi thunderbird pros are really the only thunderbirds i like. I love the maple wings and trans finish, gorgeous

Haha, you guys should have seen what was going on under the scratchplate on my old reggie jazz, practically hollow!

I was just thinking, my frankenSUB isn't finished and won't be in time for the bash, so i thought i'd bring my corvette $$ and my SUB bass again, and if simon brings his stingray we can A/B them haha

[quote name='Jarhead' post='416852' date='Feb 22 2009, 07:38 PM']Ah right. Could I get away with ordering a Guinness? And how about some crisps or chicken legs, basic party food lol. Zach[/quote] I'll bear all that stuff in mind ^^^ And maybe a friendly basschatter might be kind enough to buy you one

well cocktail sausages are a given

wow, that's a stunner And i wouldn't want to have to wire those controls!!

[quote name='Jarhead' post='416400' date='Feb 21 2009, 10:26 PM']£4 a piece sounds fair. I can squeeze my dad for that, seeing as I blew all my cash on various other things. Will the bar be open? Just wondering if I would be able to buy a pint. Of coke, obviously. Zach[/quote] Aye, bar shall be open Any requests regarding food?

[quote name='Geek99' post='415989' date='Feb 21 2009, 09:46 AM']well, as OldGit of this this parish will tell you, my Jazz has some cosmetic flaws too. Not visible from front though. We will have to wear name badges or somesuch as I, for one, wont know who anyone actually is.[/quote] Aye, i was planning on doing that, i'll have to get round to it some time this week. If there's anything else anybody else wants doing preparation-wise, just give me a shout. I'll probably sort some food out too. Oh and as for entry, i think £4 a head sounds fair? That way we can make sure everyone pays the same, and if there's any left over, i'll donate it to basschat or a charity.

[quote name='acidbass' post='415921' date='Feb 21 2009, 12:56 AM']Front is Neck, and Rear is Bridge, unless there's some sort of Metric-Imperial conversion going on with pickup naming now too![/quote] What he said!

Glad to hear it's been resolved!

that would be him the "taitycaster" i believe!

Wait for LWTait to post, he's been on it and he seems pretty chuffed with the outcome

Ohhh yeah that one! i was thinking the white one, i wouldn't chop that up!

Ahhhh right, was that a jap precision?

haha, is the "one in - one out" rule being applied to that one too?

love the pint of guinness

[quote name='Monz' post='415185' date='Feb 20 2009, 12:22 PM']My Stingray has one Humbucking pick up bass wood body with maple and rosewood neck and fingerboard - Velvet smooth Go figure![/quote] Basswood body? Either ash or alder depending on the year/finish Bongo = basswood though

I tried a spear singlecut, it did feel a little lumpy in the body, but it also played very nicely and had a huge growly sound, very nice for the price! [quote name='LWTAIT' post='415401' date='Feb 20 2009, 03:06 PM']apart from maybe the shuker singlecut, i dont like singlecuts.[/quote] Yes, but you have to say that
