I just think Warwick basses are tremendously popular now (just look at the 'What do YOU play' thread poll) so they are very common. And I suppose they stick out like a sore 'thumb' .... eh? .... EH? Thankyouverymuch

It can only be a Volvo estate... 240, 740, 850, V70... Very little difference in capacity, my flightcases go [b]across[/b] the back, and with the seats down about the same floorspace as a transit van! Well maybe not quite, but I have transported Amp, 410, 115 cab, AND the two top speakers and stands from our PA, and the Guitarist with his gear too.... Not forgetting mic stands, cable trunk and my three basses... My V70 does 40MPG on diesel, so not as juicy as you would have thought either... Oh and its a proper car, not an MPV or converted van, so comfortable too!! You can pick up an old one reasonably cheaply, safe in the knowledge the diesel engine is good for 200,000 miles Nuff said!![/quote] +1, my dearly departed 440 used to eat anything you threw in it.

Xanita swallows a case width-wise in the boot....

Sounds like a great event - I won't be able to make it but expect a full report from those that can!! Cheers ped

Kiwi you forgot that we ALSO squeezed in two more basses in hard cases (the Smiths)

I am about quarter of the way through it, so won't be long. Great read! Bassassin I will PM you when I am done! Cheers ped P.s Cheers angelboy for sending :0)

My comment was aimed at Ferret matey!

Up fer it

Welcome to Basschat. I love those Line 6 combos. Tempted with the new 2x10 version... Get stuck in! ped

Welcome!!

Hehe well one day! Sounds like your method for the aforementioned sound is a winner, too. It's all about the dynamics if you ask me! Let me know when you make it big and I can think of a way to invoice you for something! Cheers ped

I have had two identical basses, one alder and one ash, and there was a marked difference. You are correct though, it is a small factor with all things considered but I think people who say it makes NO difference are as incorrect as those who think it makes ALL the difference. Nuts? pah... Gimme a zero fret any day ;0) Cheers ped

...But then ped gets no royalties!! Sort it out son!

Every time you record with this patch I get some money

People intonate for a reason, don't they? like I said, weather it makes an audible difference is not my argument - but you might as well get off to a good start, eh? Oh and whilst we are in disagreement I DO hold SOME stock in the 'x wood sounds like this' argument, though it is just a part of a larger picture which depends on the sum of the parts.

I had some bartolini BC soapbars in a bass that were very warm and crisp. Highly recommended! Barts just have to be in the right bass! ped

Because I have low self esteem and I have no life, obviously! GOD!

With Sibob again. I don't think my post could have been less confrontational if I tried, so I don't know why you are getting so pent up! With regards to the intonation on my fretless if I capo the 12th fret the strings are all intonated properly, and I suspect with a wooden bridge this would be more difficult. Weather this is noticeable to a player/listener was not my argument. On the point about the action, all I can say is things change - string choice, setup preference and so on. A fully adjustable bridge is simply more easily adjusted and doesn't require a luthier to use, However like tBBC I haven't touched my action for many years, but then again the neck is stable and doesn't even have a truss rod! Like I said - just some thoughts. I like the look of them too and I am sure they sound great and play very well if setup to your tastes. ped

[quote name='Sibob' post='306077' date='Oct 14 2008, 11:04 AM']Why is it a lined fretless then? Whats the point in having visual markers for intonation when that intonation cannot be set properly!?[/quote] My point exactly. Sure you can adjust and play by ear and compensate for wrong intonation but I have an unlined fretless which I have intonated(?) properly, making it more precise. Lord knows it doesn't need complicating further if I have to cope with varying intonation on each string relative to the next - OK I am talking minuscule amounts but still... This and the fact that this is a lined fretless means I would have an adjustable bridge. Cheers ped P.s not having a go either - these bridges seem popular with lots of small volume luthiers I have noticed of late. I am sure they have their reasons for them as I have mine against, so it's all good...

I will hopefully be bringing a bevvy of BC T shirts to sell, plus some stickers/business cards etc. If you see me come and say hello, I will be wearing a LED scrolling name badge courtesy of miss ped Roll on Nov ped P.s it's my Bday on the 5th but I will be accepting late gifts at the event

No worries! I loved my pod. The Vbass I now use took a lot longer to programme mainly because the EQ is a semi parametric jobbie but I have managed to transfer the sounds from the pod over at last, after much fun playing about. Cheers ped

For the same reason you do on a fretted - it still has to be in tune. AFAIK anyway...

[quote name='WalMan' post='305214' date='Oct 13 2008, 09:08 AM']That SVT patch on the BOD [/quote] Aye that's the one! Just adjust the DRIVE to taste, really... Glad it works for other basses too.
