Petey

I'm just about to buy some new guitar leads and fancied the angled ones as they seem to work better for me. Are there any signal/wear issues that you are aware of which I should bear in mind?

Love mine - highly recommended

Hi,

Is the scratchplate still available?

Thanks

Pete

Understand your point....but the point of such forums is also to PASS ON/SHARE information - sure, don't take my word for it as my experiences with I.A obviously differ from yours - check with an experienced guitar luither & research Isopropyl more on line, shops, wherever, my fellow bass friend and you'll be amazed - in my experience it hasn't damaged the plastic on tapewounds for over 4O years that i've being playing  Bass guitar - just like Vinegar and WD40, it has many. many uses, esp round the home (after all Gary Moore used WD40 on his metal guitar strings to clean them  in the 70s and fellow guitarists thought he was mad, at the time - didn't damage his fingerboards - good luck in enlightenment

Ok - please re-read my post - the word Try is at the beginning and the fact that is used on metal parts to clean parts on guitars and amps for years is a well known - research it more - don't just take my word …… and  maybe I should have written it as 'TRY' 

I also used it on Cassette tape head for years - no issues at all there even with some plastic parts around - research is the key 

Try Isopropyl Alcohol wipes - the fluid is used to clean parts on amps and guitars - they do packs of wipes which you can get off ebay - used them for years on Bass Guitar and Double Bass strings - 

Back in the day these were the Compressors Bass Players wanted - great in the studio too

Hi Mr Ping - is the amp still available?

love these some much I have two - natural and black

Love mine too - use it on my Eminence EUB - valuable tool and I find it better than the updated silver version

50 Shades of Bass hey - well there are advantages and disadvantages to both

American - all up together, QC great, great sound and playability you wouldn't need to mod (but could sometime - would  affect re-sale price when you sold it ….one day)

MIM - sure mod this to f&*^ - pick-ups, wiring loom, hardware - etc,etc - but its still a MIM bass at the end of the day...….the good thing about doing this is you can experiment with different parts and find out what you like/don't like....but it becomes expensive

- I started doing the same thing in 1995 when I started teaching, on a Korean Squire jazz - re- sprayed, etc, etc, - the only things that are the original are the body neck - probably spent over £600 - plays like a dream - and the only reason I did this is because I adore the neck - but its still a squire

TIP - if you do mod it ….Keep the original parts so you have the option to pop them back on if/when you sell it

You're right Creeper, there is a metal pole underneath the fingerboard which adjusts the angle - but there is also an adjustable bridge available for the KK

Hi Creeper - CORRECTION..... - I didn't say  'the neck can be tilted' - please read my comments above

….the BRIDGE can be lowered or raised to suit ones playing technique - this is a different thing

Do you wipe down your strings after practicing/playing a gig, use a string cleaner or just pack your bass away and leave the strings alone - i'm curious as to what people do & use

Back in the 80s bright Rotosound strings that were slapped and sounded pingy was one way to go. Times changes and bass tones moved on - the flat re-emerged and became more popular and the brightness wasn't always/if at all,  needed depending on your style of music and what you played - so when do you know its time to change your strings?

They have an adjustable bridge so you can take the action down quite low before the buzzing starts (the problem with that is that you learn to tickle the strings and not really produce a loud tone with your right hand) - that's ok to start with as you would use the amp to produce the volume and slowly develop your technique - apart from that you would really need to speak to a luither 

Thanks for your vote - and I bet the Summer School was wonderful experience and now a great memory

Listen to this advice first.

 

Hi Robee - and thanks for the video clip - Jamey's suggested order of study is volumes 1,24,21,116,2,54,3,70,5,84 as stated in his volumes, his free download-able handbook and on line

I have very many happy memories of the Bassman 100 - my first 'proper' amp bought in 1980 from Carlsbro in Mansfield. Had it a few years never a problem with it and only traded in it for a Trace Elliot 1110 combo in the mid 80s - as a lot of bassist did back then - shame hey missed it  - now have tooooo may amps.

Now Sold - via another site 😁

If you want to consider selling it - let me know you best price

if only that was black …….or even a 5-string 

One of the best (if not The Best) Bass Guitar amps ever made

Love mine with original flats on

Really interested n this combo. I've been borrowing a mates for a while with the intention of buying one for busking (obviously powered by a  battery) and it seems to handle a EUB well
