I know!!! I should start my own business!

Hello ye world of BassChat! Anyone have any ideas of who (other than of course the obvious very busy Luthiers) can make custom pickup covers?

I think it's great to see Dave on the front cover. He's a great guy, down to earth and genuine. I regard him as a friend - I know more about his taste in coffee and boots, than basses ha ha!

I had a 4 page feature in BGM back in 2011.* Which I wrote. About my basses. Well that's never going to make me famous it ha ha!!

Big thumbs up for Reaper all round! - It's handy that it will run on both Windows and Mac too when it comes to sharing projects with band mates.

Unfortunately the serial number has rubbed off the base of my unit so couldn't ID it properly. Just installed correct drivers and the little beast is on straight away :-) [/quote] Ahhh phew! Excellent!

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1466965566' post='3080096'] Went to plug in my old trusty Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. Took a look on their website which says that it is supported with a convenient link to download the drivers. Duly downloaded and installed (as administrator just in case). Plugged in via USB and not working Looked on Device Manager, then manually pointed the "update driver" routine to the relevant folder but said no driver files found... I'd hate to have to part with this Focusrite Saffire 6 USB - its been a rock. Any ideas? Interweb shows lots of other peeps happily connecting immediately. [/quote] Did you reboot too? If not, sometimes drivers won't ...ummm.. drive until you do

There was one the other day. I linked to it in my status on BC, but it has since gone. I've found that my PM notifications are working ok now though. I'll send you a test message to see if you're still having problems today.

I think you'll get a long list from users as it can be quite a personal thing over which one thinks is better over another that seemingly looks exactly the same on paper. Work flow or indeed just the arrangement of functions within the app can either make or break it. I use Macs myself now so have ended up using Logic Pro X more often that not - but for my cross-platform DAW that I still love, I use Reaper by Cockos. It features everything in your list bar an extensive library of soft-synths, but that said, there are plenty of free options of those too which will get you started. I'm surprised to see Reaper wasn't on the list you posted (as you can download it for free, though I think it is more than worth it's low price!). It runs on both Windows and Mac, the online user forum is brilliant, the manuals actually make sense and there are plenty of tutorials online too. Oh and recently added, you can notate in the DAW too.

Hang in there, it's Saturday, most people have other things to do. Like, having a life for example. Be patient. As it happens I have just reviewed the entire range of cabs and have previously reviewed both the BH heads. I'll reply when I've got some time to give you my thoughts.

[quote name='bigjimmyc' timestamp='1466773395' post='3078687'] Thanks for that info. I guess this fellow had already mucked about with it! Back to Amazon for me then! Cheers dood. [/quote] It sounds like it yup! - Good luck! No problem at all

Bumping an old thread as it'd be great to get some more views on these K cabs?

The differences in tone of a floating bridge guitar when changing from a cast trem block to a solid brass one is immense. I feel the same must be achievable going from a skinny bit of tin to a substantial well made bridge. Certainly in my own upgrades, a high quality, high mass bridge does improve the girth of the tone, but there are 'high mass' bridges on eBay that only, to my mind, offer a visual difference. Probably owing to what they are made of.
