no... my bass !!! , thats my foot ;-) actually it's my Girlfriends bass but i love playing it , and she stuck the gecko on , it's a sticker !!!

Bloody hell thats my bass with the gecko on it !!!!

Cheers for the kind words Si & Michael , Yeah love the ski season 10 gigs a week is great for getting the song right !!!! but then the Jagermeister usually puts pay to anything technical !!!!

me too , i really was blown away playing mine last night , in fact i was ....... welling up , and the neck is perfect on mine

i brought my cutlass out of retirement for a gig last night and i forgot how bloody amazing it really is, so glad i own one , it#s a cutlass 2 , in fact thats it in me little profile pic !!

Oh , I'm tempted but I'm in Austria for another 2 weeks !

just read this thread with great interest , im using LaBella super nils at the mo , but there knackered now , been on 10 years,
so was on the look out , i was torn between rotosounds or SSSlaps, or going the whole way and buying all guts from upton,
but you guys have answered all i needed to know , cant wait for them to arrive so i can get them on and tear into them ,
cheers guys

to tell you the truth , i have no idea how its blown as i very rarely put any volume through it , as i said earlier i play my double bass through it "ROCKABILLY" style but never push it,
but iv'e just replaced it with an eminance 12" and i cant hear any differance in the sound quality or WEIGHT !!
so i guess thats a result !!

thanks for the replys daddios
be good
Kev , a happy cat !

thanks for the reply , to tell you the truth i really only use it as a pre amp for my double bass and im not really that bothered about replacing it with an original speaker , but i would replace it with a good quality alternative , has anyone got any suggestions ??
cheers daddios

Later Daddios

now that could be true, !!! i'd still love to own one of these , but it would have to be amazing to beat the jazz i got of Marcus !!!!

but not to worry , only two gigs to do tonight , the ampitheater with the chilis , then a 2 hr rockabilly frenzy with the buckets , yes , i am a rock n roll prostitute ............. and love it.

that is just what i was gonna tell you to listen to !!

great choice

[quote name='Alun' post='209089' date='May 29 2008, 06:33 PM']Oh ok then....


No, but I can slap a monkey


Happy now?

On a more serious note, I have messed about with slapping on my NS Wav and it's not bad. The bridge piezos do pick up a fair amount of the attack and you could always boost the tone control which just makes Wavs clicky sounding anyway

Cheers

to tell you the truth , the whole thong about rockabilly slap bass is the slap sound which is the note and the slap ,plus the actual vision of the 3/4 double bass , you can get a good cheap rockabilly set up german bass on ebay for a very good price !!

if ya ask me , it's well worth the hassle of humping ya slapbass around the moment ya get onstage and wrap ya legs around the big fat girl.................. rockabilly heaven

and a good tip is , go for the k&k rockabilly pick up kit
hope this helps
