  1. Cool bass. If the bridge is not allowing any lower action you could file the bridge saddles down to compensate. I did this on an old Jazz bass and it gave lots of adjustment after I took maybe 5mm out of the saddles. The saddles are easy to replace if you wanted to reverse the operation. ped
  2. [quote name='silddx' post='1281201' date='Jun 24 2011, 04:30 PM']Ped should look after that bloody dog better. He feeds it on Winalittle and never brushes its teef.[/quote] Whilst he still has 4 perfectly good legs to eat I fail to see why I should fork out for anything else
  3. Bowel issues over here. Unless the venue has decent bogs I basically feel the need to go (usually at gigs, but counts for pretty much any situation, especially on coaches or boats). In fact just thinking about it now.... ..Whoops, I better 'log off' ped

    Dodgy ads

    There are a few types of ads I have blocked, mainly ones that are totally irrelevant, but there shouldn't ever be 'adult' adverts. I wouldn't consider Match.com 'adult' - they have adverts on TV too. ped
  5. It's an early Passion bass, I have seen a fretted version with the same pickup config. As far as I know, serial numbers aren't logged on these very early models, but if you speak directly to Patrice Vigier, he will be able to help you some more. I think this bass would be built around 1984. The fretted version may or may not have had a brass leminate between the neck and fingerboard, but being Delta Metal, yours probably wont. Nice looking bass - let us know what Patrice says! Cheers ped

    The idea....

    This area isn't used much, is it? Perhaps it needs re-thinking or re-invigorating a bit.
  7. Well I'll certaily consider the ivitation - I have a camera coming back froma service which should accountf or my disposable income for the next few months though!
  8. I would LOVE one of these. Very cool bit of kit. Don't see them very often!
  9. I have enough trouble keeping Nellie happy with a supply of mango, cheese and chips (but not all at once) I think it's quite an interesting idea myself. I guess they hope die hard fans will create themselves a double album. I'm not so sure about making people choose 10 tracks or whatever but the DIY artwork bit is a great idea and a chance for people to show off their skills ped
  10. Some bodies have a penny sized hole where the body is held during painting
  11. [quote name='lettsguitars' post='1255608' date='Jun 3 2011, 03:51 PM']how come as a bass maker i'm not allowed to advertise my wares on basschat and posts are instantly deleted when all i'm asking for is a few opinions, and yet it's fine for every man and his dog to try and flog their cd's? sort it out mods. this is BASSchat after all, not sellmemusicchat. one for all and all for one![/quote] PM me if you have a problem and we can discuss. Or were you joking?
  12. #3 if you fill and paint the pickguard holes
  13. I don't think there's any harm in saying who did the work and letting us all know what the issue was/is. Perhaps said 'luthier' might decide to do the right thing and refund your money to regain some credibility in the eyes of the BC masses? ped

    SOLD

    Oh man I have just tried to forget there's one for sale and now another comes up... out of interest would you sell without the pickup? Cheers ped
  15. [quote name='Basszilla' post='1251490' date='May 31 2011, 01:53 PM']Slap Bass Like a pair of mic'd up metal testicles on a jogger getting chased by a dog[/quote]
  16. Like Bin Laden's house on Bank Holiday
  17. Good shout lads. Proud of you all.
  18. [quote name='charic' post='1246563' date='May 27 2011, 06:31 AM']You really want bass moobs on the fb page? How strange![/quote] Dood got his puppies out ages ago so thought you should all follow suit
  19. Just logged in, not really sure what I'm doing but please ad us so we can keep you up to date with minute details of our lives, or something. I'll even upload some pics of nellie
  20. I'm going to bulk up the Basschat Facebook page a little [url="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4206631036"]http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4206631036[/url] I wondered if people could first of all join the page and secondly start adding pictures from bass bashes to the album. You can make a new album with the bash name and date and go for it. Whilst you're at it, you could make an album with pictures of your gear and puppies ped
  21. Can we get more people on twitter? join us and let's get involved!
  22. Apps are available in the next update which will happen this summer. I'm excited! ped
  23. No worries. The hard cases have the wood paneling with aluminum edges and corners, big, heavy and possibly overkill. Semi hard cases are formed out of high density polystyrene which is then foam lined and/or with felt etc to make them rigid but light. They could snap I guess if subjected to extreme pressure but they offer massive protection and rigidity for a fraction of the price and weight. I haven't ever had any problems with them. getting one made for the head might be a difficulty but I'm sure there are places selling standard sized ones which you could further pad out as necessary to fit if you don't want to go the custom route. ped
  24. Here they are. I'm sure there are others out there, too. [url="http://www.grcases.co.uk/"]http://www.grcases.co.uk/[/url] ped EDIT: Colin (IIRC) said he no longer owns those shorts FYI
  25. Ah booger I thought the Klystron was that Ashdown bass, for some reason. I'm sure you can get them made to fit. There's a place near my parents in Witney who were going to make one for my Vbass pedal. I'll see if I can find the link.
