Bought a set of Ernie Balls from Jimmy at a bargain price. Quick postage, great comma throughout. Would buy again without hesitation.

Very nice! Love the idea of the switch, and look forward to pictures of the finished article! ...Also, drop me a PM if you plan on getting rid of the original pickups.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1405448563' post='2502006'] It's finished! Just waiting for delivery now :-) [/quote] Wow!!! Some sound clips would be hugely appreciated once it does arrive. I'm still toying with the idea of a Limelight P in the future

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1405444937' post='2501966'] I had a quick noodle on one of Grand Wazoo's Dingwalls at the Herts bash - not as weird as I thought it would be... [/quote] Likewise, and I'd only ever played a fiver once or twice before so it should've been a double whammy. It was actually really comfortable!

Pastel every time - surf green or sonic blue if you want my two penneth. However I don't think the ocean turquoise picture does the colour justice - I've seen some really stunning examples in the past!

[quote name='Jonesy64' timestamp='1405436656' post='2501888'] The Harley Benton fits the bill nicely...but, Lozz, I do like the idea of the SVT210AV. In fact, there's a GK115 Neo in the sale section which I keep looking at, not a match but cool looking!! I might need to revise my budget. Bloody GAS!!!!! [/quote] Not sure how much difference you would notice at bedroom levels - reign it in!

[quote name='Biaeothanata-Bassist' timestamp='1405366714' post='2501324'] Thanks again for the advice Chris, i'll see what money i have left over from getting whichever amp i end up getting an i may get a BDI21. Can't see it being too bad for that price [/quote] The BDI21 is a cracking bit of kit. Best £20 you could spend on your tone.

Couple of options from Thomann: http://www.thomann.de/gb/hartke_210_tp.htm http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_bb210t.htm Not quite sub-£100 but still bargaintastic!

Thanks Mark! I thought I had started this in General Discussion rather than the Bass section, could someone move it?

The last few weeks I've been hankering after playing in a band again, but I'm a little bit lost as to where to start. All of my musician friends are up north, and I don't really know any folk in London who play (amazing right?) So where do I start? What's the best way for me to find a bunch of like-minded people to make noise with?

Think I might be having one of those.

[quote name='Mark_88MPH' timestamp='1405020745' post='2498058'] For various reasons I can't properly play at the moment so when I'm all good to play again I'll describe a bit more about how they sound! [/quote] That sounds serious! I hope whatever it is doesn't keep you out of action too long! Look forward to hearing the full review.

It has 4 strings again!!! The truss rod needs a bit of tweaking to get it playing REALLY nicely, but regardless it sounds lovely!

Nice! How do they compare to the originals? I imagine they're quite a bit warmer/have more thump to them?

Just saw this on FB. Bargain!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1404941839' post='2497273'] I also had a lot of hum/buzz in my 78, so shielded the cavity and pickguard with tape. Took about an hour and now no buzz at all. Time well spent. [/quote] This first! I had the same trouble with a Squier P a while back and just shielding tape on the pickguard did the trick.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1404862798' post='2496571'] Yess! That's what I needed - an excuse! [/quote] I'm just thinking of your health and future well being

Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1404762485' post='2495531'] Now I've got GAS for a V4B. Even though I already have a Burman MPA and SL100. Duh!! [/quote] Might save your back a bit!

6/10 isn't bad I don't think.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1404668410' post='2494583'] Some surprising results.... [/quote] To say the least!

What a day! This was my first bash so I was a little unsure of what to expect, but [b]low [/b]and behold I was greeted by a hugely friendly bunch of fellow Basschatters. Huge thanks to everyone involved in organising it, I had a brilliant time and will definitely be along to the next one. I also managed to catch c.25mins of the Modes seminar on video which I'm in the process of pulling from my iPhone now. Hopefully I'll be able to get it on to Dropbox to share with you all later. Thanks again! Dave

[quote name='Stealth' timestamp='1404601041' post='2494133'] V4B Delivered and I concur its LOUD with immense presence [/quote] Love the V4B. Was trying a Squier in Wunjo a while ago and they put me through one paired with a 2x12 - it was like dying and going to tone heaven.
