    I'm not sure how many times I can keep recycling the 'When Doves Cry by Prince' joke. Maybe just once more

    I recall as a kid wondering why guitars didn't come available as fretless models. It's like all the best bits of playing a Violin.. without, you know... being a Violin Joking aside, although I have no desire to play one, the Cello has always fascinated me. I love the range and tone of the notes, the techniques that can be employed and I suppose the 'vocal' nature of the instrument. Maybe it's because underneath when I solo or improvise, unless it's a set groove, I want to sound like I am communicating in the same way as speech or singing. Something that I feel is missed often in Bass solos! I play Guitar too and spend plenty of time un-shredding Guitar solos in my workshops. Yeah, it's great to go ballistic but sometimes you want something sublime and musical like the two examples above. Really enjoyed them and will be checking out more of this man's playing. Thanks Lowdown!

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1474278682' post='3136653'] Could be a whole number of things really. One thing to check might be speaker sensitivity. Using cabs with higher sensitivity will sound louder - a 3db gain in sensitivity makes a huge difference. If you're after a completely different tone then there's lots of potential cabs out there. Be sure to test them back to back with your existing setup though. However, if all you want is 'loudness' I'd just turn your amp up - that's a lot cheaper than throwing money at new cabs [/quote] Ah! ha ha! You typed the same as me at the same time

    The Hartke cabinets are less sensitive than some - that is, the volume they put out verses the signal amplitude going in. I wouldn't say it's anything to worry about, just turn the volume up a bit, unless of course your amp is running out of steam.

    Do you mean the 'Bass Collection' basses from the Bass Centre? - Yes, they a cracking little basses. I reviewed one a couple of years ago and it arrived with a really nice set up.

    [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1474220582' post='3136336'] Lot of japanese fenders seem to be basswood are you sure its an Alder body? Looks a beauty Cheers Bri [/quote] The PB62-US is Alder. Lots of high spec' CIJ's are Alder including the 'US' non-export models. The PB62, which also had smaller tuning keys and a standard bbt bridge was basswood for example.

    As requested, here's some images - I've enclosed all of the bumps and bashes in high res.

    [quote name='natjag' timestamp='1474141903' post='3135936'] Do you have the original non hip shot D tuner? What's the weight like? Any chance of more pictures, particularly (for me) back of head stock where the end of the neck joins. and just overall condition of neck (reverse). Does it have a case of any sort [/quote] See first post, yes a hard case is included. According to the bathroom scales here - and I hold no responsibility to it's accuracy, a snip under 4.1Kg, though in use, as the bass has premium Gotoh Resolite tuning keys, there's very little noticeable shoulder drag. It's a very well behaved bass. A non-D-tuner key can be swapped in to the place of the D-Tuner which matches the rest of the set. I will upload more pictures later. Back of the headstock and the rest of the neck is completely unmarked. No signs of distress or wear round there. Little fret wear, really, in superb condition. The body as I said in my first post shows signs of wear with some scratches and dings around the 'bum' area. There's also a bit of buckle rash that hasn't broken the paint work - but really, this is all reflected in the price of the bass which is frankly a give away.

    Here's an absolute beauty! I'm planning a new bass so this one (which to be honest is too similar) is up for rehoming. It's a really good example though it does have a few natural wear dings and scratches. Nothing to get too upset about - it's real wear and tear though, not a fakers delight. One long one across the front edge and a chip in the paint. Alder body Maple Neck Rosewood Fretboard Vintage Spiral bridge Tortoiseshell Pickguard Vintage Olympic off-White (YUMMY!) Vintage size frets Feels like rolled fretboard edges (way better than the Nate Mendel model for example) [b]UPGRADES[/b]: [b]Dunlop[/b] Dual type strap locking buttons Premium [b]Gotoh[/b] RESOLITE ultra-light Vintage reverse tuning keys ~ £90 online [b]HIPSHOT[/b] D-TUNER!!! ~ £75 online Fender neck plate Plays like a dream and sounds like a '62 should. I'll put new strings on too if I have a spare set. You could say this bass is VSP/FSR spec with extras [b]Comes with a hard case[/b] - you can collect or you can arrange shipping. Contact me for details. PM PM PM!! MINIMUM PRICE ALREADY - THERE WILL BE NO PRICE DROPS - I might have a think about trades though, but unlikely to be a bass.

    Definitely try the X models instead (DCX for example) as they have a more traditional and slightly less hifi tone. Or if you want to try something a different size then the Alnico EMG's are really nice. Coming away from EMG, well I love the Aguilar DCB - a great sounding passive pickup - The Delano SBC is very nice too but has a different flavour. Nordstrand, I think the big singles are superb and would love to give more of Carey's products a test drive for sure. My 'grunty' pickup of choice is a Dimarzio P style but this may not fit the configuration! I need to try some J styles, just a shame Dimarzio don't do soap bars!

    Just beautiful, I've eyed this bass up more than once I can tell you. Jon's work is impeccable and I'd recommend him without any hesitation. The man has golden hands when it comes to luthiery and boy does he know his woods and electronics. He's designed his own preamps too from scratch and they are very good indeed. Oh and visit his wood store at your wallet's peril for no one leaves that building without drawing up a custom order yippee!

    Ah! Good song! Will definitely cue it up in the morning for a trip down memory lane

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1474019099' post='3134938'] So dood, care to enlighten us on the purpose of this poll? [/quote] Ahhhh BRX, the reasons are two-fold! One to generate some proper bass related discussion but also, i wanna try a bass with a huge neck and there's nothing to get my hands on locally to test the theory - Although my local music store is getting a Mike Dirnt Road Worn in for me. Tonally, I would love to see if a big ole bass neck has a bigger low end etc.. Stuart Spector believes that larger necks do improve tone - one of the reasons why he was a little reticent to shave wood off Doug Wimbish's beloved 'number one bass'. A story Doug retold to me. Anyway, I wanna try a big neck and if there's tone advantages, then great. Just wanted to know what the readership thought!
  22. Dood
    Really good! - A great watch, but I really want to see it again to listen with decent speakers. The bass is fairly prominent in the mix at times and Alex's bass tone is really tasty!
  23. Dood
    Hmmmmm, I love my prog and great to see VW involved but the clip was too short to get me interested as it kinda sounds like stuff I was playing ten years ago or more.

    [quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1473889453' post='3133984'] Duh, of course. Got it. [/quote] Heh heh no worries!

    [quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1473886453' post='3133953'] Cool idea - will check it out. Do you just search for the playlist and add yourself to it? [/quote] Click the link in my signature. You'll be able to add to it when it's open in your Spotify
