Shame its a bit far from London, Nige, as I would love to come along. Hope its a cracker, mate!

Likewise, I may be wrong but I assumed they were cheap, good quality copies of Western brands but essentially flouting copyright/patents. Not something that should be encouraged in a legitimate bass forum IMHO Besides I prefer the semi-clad ladies in the figleaves ad

Thanks - I have dropped an email and asked about a shared bill at the Barbican venue in September with the Jetsonics and Dick Venom & The Terrortones

Phil Jones bass buddy? Also doubles up as a preamp, which may come in handy. There's one FS on the forum [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138995&hl=bass+buddy"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=bass+buddy[/url]

I was at the Bass Gallery this afternoon and Alex was opening up boxes of Tonehammer 500 heads. Tempted though I was I am waiting for BassGear to get them in (hopefully soon!)

Beedster, what are you like? A few months ago and you were going DB only, now its 4 basses and counting Yeah, I know - pot, kettle, black. Guilty

Updated flyer below and I can confirm we are due onstage at 9.30pm [attachment=81974:bonnie_a...yde_june.jpg]

There's now a ton of Class D amps. I am waiting on getting a new Aguilar Tonehammer TH500 from BassGear which looks to suit my needs best, although - as I've said in other threads - I would dearly love an integrated lightweight Sansamp/Class D head (can't understand why Tech 21 haven't gone down this route ....) It amazes me how the various Class D heads differ. For example, Markbass have a pretty warm sound but they're (in relative terms) starting to look big and they don't have a headphone socket. The SWR Headlite is a nifty little package but tries too hard to be clever (too many controls IMHO) and the dial settings are very hard to see. The Shuttle is quite marmite according to reviews I've seen, with some criticising the overdrive tone and the (over?) bright LEDs etc etc ... So if you were spec'ing out a Class D amp from scratch, what key features would you include .... and exclude?

The only problem Barrie (setting aside the small issue of money!) is that a '59 Precision will likely have a very chunky neck (1.75 width at the nut) and IIRC you don't get on with the thicker P-bass necks - your '72 will have a B (intermediate width) neck (1.625)

[quote name='molan' post='1257809' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:14 PM']My real concern is that I now know it IS possible to get a YOB J bass - unfortunately I only know of one ever being made so that's going to be a bit tough to get hold of, lol. Mind you, I've seen a '59 P in see through blonde and an anodised guard that still has its original hang tags. wonder how much that is valued at. . .[/quote] Herbie Flowers' J is a '59 - I doubt you can prise that from his fingers though I will of course sell you my Herbie Flowers replica J for a suitably enormous sum

Welcome to the dark side - you'll be after a YOB P-bass next

Guitar Guitar has them in stock but I am waiting for Phil at BassGear to get them in (I guess around the end of this month as they are making them for him this week)

Looks like we are onstage first, at about 9.30pm Here is the flyer [attachment=81701:bonnie_a...yde_june.jpg]

Sounds good to me, Bilbo! Nice tone and playing.

Might be an idea to change the OP title to Feedback for Ash! That would help him a bit more in any future deals on BC

My amp must of been own'd by Led Zepolin cos it sez Jimmie Paje on it, init. Five hundred sovs to you, mate
