    Hi all, I'm really used to the usual hefty leather bass straps. I prefer and am looking for something at least 4" wide to spread as much of the weight evenly over my shoulder. Now that the summer is here again and we, bass playing fraternity will no doubt be playing all sorts of sweat boxes up and down the country - does anyone have any ideas for bass straps that are made of a breathable material? I know Planet Waves do a webbing strap; I guess something like that. Any ideas? Last gig I ended up with a bit sweat stripe all the way around my shirt using my heavy leather bass strap which has a suede underneath.

    [quote name='sammybee' timestamp='1467376713' post='3083220'] Isn't Dood of this parish based in Norfolk? Never had a lesson with him, but I think he's very well respected in that regard. [/quote] Thank you for the kind words SammyBee! I've been booked up with other work on top of teaching recently so haven't been able to help I'm afraid. Such it is to be in demand! I appreciate the mention! Dan

    Right then, Head on over to www.iguitarmag.com and read (for free) the current issue which will tell you exactly what I think about the TC Electronic K-Cabs. I've reviewed the BH heads too, back in issue 31 (back issues)

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1467406154' post='3083552'] Absolute quality preamps, these - GLWTS [/quote] Yes, really nice indeed - Had it have been a three band I would have grabbed it just for the sake of it! - I've Glock' preamps in two of my basses and they sound superb!

    That's going to be a lot of fun - I like that there's also a headphone output and auxiliary input for headphone amp duties. IEM'ers will be pleased!

    Oh Yes!

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1467195766' post='3081782'] I'm also looking for tuners for a bass with a Squier-sized headstock. So I believe, like mine, you would need to ream the holes in the body to be a little larger. That said, I did find the Wilkinson spigots fitted neatly into to bushes from the original tuners. The problem I have, though, is the headstock on my bass is the same size as the Squier one - too small to take the Wilkinsons, unless you're prepared to ream off a mm or 2 on each end of the plate. Fenders have bigger headstocks than Squiers. So regrettably the Wilkinsons are really suited to a Fender. What I have found is the Grover Vintage style: [url="https://www.grotro.com/Grover/BASS"]https://www.grotro.com/Grover/BASS[/url] They're the right size for a smaller headstock. But they sell in the UK for £60. This might be a tiny bit rich for a Squier or similar. Sorry if this is negative to your sale, Dood. But I know you're an honest and open guy. GLWTS [/quote] [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1467199234' post='3081815'] If it's a Squier Vintage Modified P5 (there aren't any Classic Vibe fivers as far as I know), the machine heads are the same as those on the Mexican Standards. Some Squiers have smaller headstocks, but I think the VMs would have the same headstock size as a Fender; I know both my CV and Matt Freeman do. Looking at the 4-string version, there's more than enough room for the Wilkinsons but they'd not fit on the 5-string. [/quote] This is really helpful actually, thank you. I genuinely didn't know that Squiers had smaller headstocks! Different shape yes, but smaller I hadn't realised. Come to think of it, I've never actually owned a Squier either! Cheers peeps

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467196050' post='3081785'] I was just searching for other shell pink Jazz basses and came across this which made me laugh.... [/quote] Ha ha ha ha! That's brilliant!

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1467016486' post='3080377'] I don't really get signatures like this. As stated, the MM pickup would make more sense for a Flea signature.... but hey, what do I know? If the stacked pot thing is the selling point, surely you could just get any jazz and stick a new stacked pot loom in? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60-61-Jazz-Bass-STACK-KNOB-Control-Plate-Concentric-CTS-Pots-Repro-Caps-/191826768729"]http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/191826768729[/url] [/quote] That's two volumes and two tones?

    [quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1467191932' post='3081736'] Any idea odf the size of the bushes on the Wilkinson tuners? Looking for a set for a 5 String Squire CV P Bass. [/quote] I found this which I believe to be the same units: http://www.guitar-parts-depot.com/uploadfiles/2007421213913513.gif

    [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1467127698' post='3081361'] We have facilities for this at the university I teach at, but the workshops are shut until September. If you've found nothing by then, give me a shout. [/quote] You're a star! Thanks. I've no idea (yet) about 3D modelling and how I'd go about getting the covers to be exactly as I'd like. In that respect, it's a big ask!

    [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1467119495' post='3081296'] I thought it would be; the spacing between the screws on the Squier CV bridge is slightly wider than standard, so it likely wont fit without a fill/re-drill. [/quote] I understand that to be true too yup, sorry!

    Great cab, super sound and Andy is a top top guy who really does look after his kit! Dan.
  15. Dood
    It's a standard Fender 5 screw fitment, if that helps! I'll try to measure for you later.

    For those who are that is! I'm entertaining the idea of using one myself which can take instrument level (a gain section) have a really good parametric EQ (4 band hopefully) maybe an option for inserts, possibly a headphone out but most definitely be able to drive a power amp with zero additional noise. I haven't put a huge amount of thought in to this to be honest so maybe there's some features I've not yet thought about. The only thing I have thought about which possibly rules out other options is that I'd like it to be either a 1u rack or smaller! Behringer XR18 will always be on the radar, but a different beast for the moment!

    Gorgeous!

    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?
  20. Dood
    Ooooph! That's a whole lot of great sounding bass right there.

    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!!
  23. Dood
    Images from the interwebs. Mine looks exactly the same. I haven't gigged it!

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1467032095' post='3080600'] They can. I've done it. [/quote] Wow! I actually forgot all about this! The Wilko keys are still here. Thanks Grangur!

    £20 - Can't give it away ha ha!!
