Thanks for the comment - I like having a fixed focal length sometimes as it makes you really think about what you are doing! ped

Thanks guys. Though the camera I was using looked quite vintage it's actually a fairly modern digital rangefinder with leica mount. Shots on film are going to be posted later Cheers ped

Couple more on the way, hold on to yo' butts

Here are a few pictures I took on Bass Day - didn't really have the right setup for the occasion and I haven't developed the shots on film yet but here are a couple anyway (the first two are posted elsewhere I think in the Bass Day thread) Cheers ped Full size piccies here: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/[/url]

I only took a few pics but here are the couple I have developed so far: Cheers ped

I'll see you all there tomorrow - I'm going to be nipping around the trade area and the stage/backstage bit taking pics for Basschat so come and say Hi! ped

Paypal should do a debit card... that would be awesome

[quote name='ahpook' post='964768' date='Sep 22 2010, 06:39 PM']schallers aren't drop-in replacements for fender-style bridges.[/quote] Ah that's a shame. Thanks for clearing that up. Try calling WDmusic products and ask how much they have them for - they often have mix and match combinations (silver bridge with black saddles etc) going V cheap. Cheers ped

[quote name='jonthebass' post='963750' date='Sep 21 2010, 08:26 PM']I see it's not a string through jobbie so not as versatile for Fenders IMO. Shame though as it's a great looking unit. Have a look: [url="http://western-pickups.de/hp135061/Bass-Bridge-3D-4.htm?ITServ=C5fae574bX12b35982186X1d5f"]HERE[/url][/quote] I never found thru body stringing made any difference though to be honest - though possibly an argument for another thread!!

[quote name='jonthebass' post='963732' date='Sep 21 2010, 08:14 PM']Are they 'drop in' on a Fender do you know Ped?[/quote] I'm not certain, but I think so... anyone else know? ped

If you are after a 3 hole bridge, the Schaller 3D is much better IMO ped

Not at all. Fretless is just as valid as fretted in every style of music, I reckon. The only time I object is when it's really cheesy. I played a fretless almost exclusively in my old funk metal band and it was fine, it really added something, but it was subtle, sounding like a fretted most of the time. Go forth and groove, don't let your lack of frets hold you back ped

Hello mate. Good to see you! ped

Having tried them all I can safely say what I like to hear is the sound of my bass, not my amplifier colouring the sound. I prefer my relatively cheap 800w 1u poweramp to the other all tube heads I have had. Works a treat and doesn't even get warm. Every time I have used a big Ampeg rig I end up sounding like someone else.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='943026' date='Sep 2 2010, 09:24 AM']I really do think a lot of the 'differences' between bass sounds are subtleties that escape me and probably 99% of the audience. There may be 1% of the people I play in front of thinking 'that would sound better on a Jazz/Precision/Sadowsky, Fodera, Alembic......'[/quote] I never get that argument - I mean if you can't tell and aren't bothered, cool. But I pretty much know 99% of the audience won't be able to tell, but that's no excuse not to enjoy the intracity of your gear and your sound. Imagine if music was like that. 99% of the music I listen to wouldn't appeal to 99% of the average punters out there, and I thank god for that every time I fire up the stereo. ped

Very cool, always enjoy your vids. I especially like the ending, to be honest I prefer that to the slap fury (but that doesn't mean it isn't impressive!!) ped

Used to have several but since finding my fretted Vigier, it really has blown everything else I have had out of the water. When I installed the Roland GK system it was the icing on the cake, because I can still cop stingray/jazz bass sounds and full on polyphonic synths but all on the one, most comfortable and best playing bass of them all. I really like being able to call it 'My bass' as opposed to 'one of my basses'. I think you should go for it Russ, then you can concentrate on getting the best from it and not constantly wonder if it would sound better on the [i]other[/i] bass... ped

I'll be there adding a touch of class and skill to the proceedings ped
