    Oops this is becoming groundhog day! I just picked up Wes' beautifully crafted Herbie Flowers inspired Jazz bass this evening. Lovely piece of work and sounds wonderful with the Tru Bass strings on. Nice one again, Wes!

    Some lovely porn ply there Paul, esp the blonde Please will you give me a slap lesson some time in exchange for beer/wine/whatever what with you being local like?

    Tru Bass black nylons for double bass emulation and a recent convert to Status Hotwire half-rounds (had on my sold Wal) for a brighter sound but still with plenty of low end

    If you want uncoloured maybe stick with Phil Jones? Take a look at this for example [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=132078&hl=Phil+Jones"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=Phil+Jones[/url] I doubt a DB-specific amp would help you (I have an Acoustic Image Coda combo but thats chock full of features that would be of no benefit to an electric bass, eg feedback control; plus its FS at £700!)

    Another fast delivery of a high quality speaker cable from Dave

    During most of the existence of my old punk band, I played TI Flats on a P-bass. Sounded ace. Low tension yes, but that helped me play very fast pick lines without 'jamming' the pick on the strings occasionally (which I tend to do with higher tension strings)

    Yes I know - don't kick me. Hindsight being rose-coloured I picked this up recently as I always loved the tube-y sound of this combo and had often regretted selling my old one a year or so ago. What I hadn't appreciated is two things: my worsening glass back (which needed two months of physio earlier this year) really doesn't like 50 pound combos and how good (and lightweight!) my MarkBass F1 and Barefaced Midget (bought primarily for my DB) sound with electric bass. So I am moving it on. You know the score with these - built like tanks, removable head (so can be used with other cabs), scary loud for size due to 12" speaker plus down-firing passive radiator speaker. Its in good rather than perfect condition and has obviously been gigged. There's a few minor scuffs here and there around the 'feet' but none (or at least none noticeable) on the front of the combo or the top (where the head controls are). Has the (rather thin IMHO) Mesa slip cover. Asking for £600 collected or meet-up in London area. Not got a pic right now but it looks just like this: [attachment=79796:walkabout.jpg][attachment=79797:WalkSct112_xlarge.jpg]

    [quote name='TheRev' post='1229829' date='May 13 2011, 12:13 PM']In a similar vein, I've often why, given that most of us use an outboard preamp with our piezo pickups, no-one does powered cabs for double bass. I run my fishman Platinum Pro straight into the FX return on a LMII, without using any of the EQ on the amp so really, I could get away with running the signal from the fishman into a power amp. I'd have thought that something like an Acoustic Image contra cab with a built in power amp, which allows you to use whichever pre rock your boat, would be rather popular.[/quote] The QSC K10 comes quite highly recommended by various DB'ers (eg, Bassace) - its a powered 10" PA speaker but apparently sounds very clean. Those using microphones on their DBs especially seem to like it [url="http://www.dv247.com/pa-systems-and-live-sound/qsc-k10-k-series-active-pa-speaker--65721"]http://www.dv247.com/pa-systems-and-live-s...-speaker--65721[/url]

    Clarky replied to BigRedX's topic in Gigs

    Hope its a cracking gig Mike. The 12 Bar is very small but has a fantastic vibe, especially if you play later in the evening, and is one of my favourite venues to play. Sorry I can't make it and that we are passing by at different times this evening

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1229740' date='May 13 2011, 10:26 AM']Is it incredibly lazy that I was wondering what it looks like and instead of walking the 10 ft to have a look I googled it?[/quote] [attachment=79792:stars2_1...98031140.jpg] vs Wayne!
  16. Clarky
    Just wondered, given the multitude of DB pickup and preamps on the market, why noone does a rack-mounted DB specific preamp (as in with DB-specific features like notch control, phase switch etc)? Would have thought one of the specialist North American companies at least would make one.

Thanks for providing the shuttle service back to Canterbury, mate

    Hey John, until you get a tutor here is not a bad starter DVD [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Introduction-Upright-Double-Bass-Beginners-DVD-/330477033403?pt=UK_Music_SheetMusic_RL&hash=item4cf1f757bb#ht_2170wt_1199"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Introduction-Upright...#ht_2170wt_1199[/url] I think you will have a lot of fun with your new toy, I have really fallen for the whole DB thing. But boy does it get tricky (and pricey) when you start getting into changing strings and sorting out amplification!

    Looks like the '89 MIJ surf /sea foam green one that used to be owned by 4 candles [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122414&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122414&hl=[/url]
  20. Clarky
    I still have Keith's packaging and of course the amp goes in its padded cover so, although I tend to prefer handover for delicate pieces of kit like amplifiers, I am willing to post this at cost (I guess its around £10-15 within the UK)
  21. Clarky
    Thats awesome mate - everybody's happy nowadays

    [quote name='themurm523' post='1229237' date='May 12 2011, 07:58 PM']Bump for my paper which is due soon. How long is the waiting list for one of these? About a year more or less? Then how long does it take to build it another year? Anyone who owns one know?[/quote] Laurence is having a fretless Mk1 made and he told me the order time (from order to delivery, to be clear) is about one year right now
