  1. I had one of those. It was really good, in my opinion, if a bit heavy. Played great, well finished. Good value for money. GAS made me sell it.
  2. The combo also has a little hatch on the top, as well as the slot at the rear. The hatch is for access to the back of the amp for FX loop etc. There is plenty of ventilation.
  3. Inaudible! The amp is not really working at low volume. I can't stand extraneous noises, especially high pitched ones, since my hearing aids make EVERYTHING really loud. If the fan was making a noise I would throw the amp out of the window, probably. Hope this helps!
  4. I have one of these. The Indonesian model, which is identical to the Italian version, as far as I know. It has been very reliable, and I can't say I've noticed any troubling fan noise. It's not as compact as the 121P mentioned above, and it is extremely punchy. i sometimes crave the Traveller 102 extension cab in order to feel more of a man, but I don't think it needs it for most applications. Great DI out and very effective EQ. I find the two filters useful on occasion, especially the vintage one. It is surprisingly light for its size.
  5. Well, a fambling at the very least.
  6. Blue Note Reimagined album. Very cool.
  7. Crikey, great work. How long did it take you?
  8. Sounds great! Phat!
  9. I remember seeing The Nice, with Lee Jackson playing one of the original versions of these. I was totally obsessed with it. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. GLWTS.
  10. Juliet Commagere. Fantastic chantoozie.
  11. Don’t spoil the ship for a ha’penny’s worth of tar! How much is another can of paint? And if you ding your bass you can touch it up! A matching headstock on a Jazz is a thing of beauty!
  12. I’d say fine maple dust and superglue. Pile the duct into and around the tear out, and drip runny CA onto it. I hoard sawdusts and put them in little jars, against the day I screw up drilling or routing..
  13. Sterling SUB Ray 4, £200 Bitsa Jazz, £100 Yamaha BBG4 fretted, about £180 off here Yamaha BBG4 fretless, £170. I dig them all
  14. BTW, it looks HAWT with the tort plate.
  15. Jeepers, I feel kind of....dirty for not grabbing this bass. Problem is the nut width, alas.
  16. Very imaginative conversion process. It would never have occurred to me to cut down the wings like that.
  17. That would be great! In fact I have two Jazz pickups, neck and bridge, so that config is also in the realm of possibility.
  18. Colour me impressed. I would like to know more.
  19. Very interesting instrument. Do my eyes deceive me, or is the fingerboard slightly radiused? That should make for great playability.
  20. Hey there basschat hive mind. I'm planning to put an MM pickup and a Jazz bass style front pickup in my MaybeRay build. Does anyone have an opinion about this type of configuration? I assume it will sound good, but I am concerned about issues like differences in pickup polarity, likely volume differences. I hope to put a Bourns pan pot after the pickups and before the three-band preamp, which is from a Ray 34. I am very ignorant and probably unteachable about electrickery, but please let me know your thoughts about this plan. BTW, I am also considering making a unitary pickup container/ramp to house both pickups, with a nifty rosewood top. I f i do this it means i can remove the pickups from their covers.
  21. I love the whole album, and I love playing the Ruby Baby bass part. I can’t wait to dig into this video! Thanks for posting!
  22. And and and the bugger is playing a bass with a ZERO FRET! Just not ok!
