    [quote name='MacDaddy' post='123046' date='Jan 18 2008, 07:05 PM']YAY! Bass Bash :huh: ;) ;)

    as the [i]set-up masterclass [/i]was so popular last time, would anyone be up for doing one again?
    I'd find it useful to be setting up my own following the instructions as it happens. :)[/quote]


    I'll be doing one on how to acquire a new 175 gauge F# string free of charge.







    and how to get away from an unstable suspension bridge, undetected.

    Sweet! Do like a good 7 string! mY guitarist's girlfriend has the 6 string version.. and has very kindly leant it to him.. lucky B&$^&*£!!!!!!!!!

    Steve, yeh, my fave is the PG301 (???) white with maple board.. really nice. Paul let me play his very own model. Gotta say, it's nothing like the stock model.... but then, his has been worn in and been round the world a few times, numerous fret dresses and the neck almost feels like it has a different carve to the stock model. I don' care though.. would dearly love Pauls worn geetar!

    Ah! Of course! I believe Chris '2 puds' was the first meet. Not sure if I made it to that one. The pics of BassJamm in a pudding bowl must have been the following bash. That was such a good meet. Hope the next ones are just as good.

    I have no idea what they sound like, but they sure look good.


    edit: I just saw the price![/quote]

    I had a personal demo from Jonas himself, with his sig gear and bass. Very interesting too! We seemed to share a lot of similar ideas about signal path etc. Its just that he puts his into practice lol lol!!!

    Really nice sounding gear.. with a 'boutique' price tag to match!

    home made cab

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I built my first ever bass cab. It housed a 15" Celestion driver and was made from 18" MDF. It was braced, glued and screwed and covered with rubber backed carpet tiles. I used all the lovely plastic corners from Maplin and the specs were, IIRC that magic ratio of something like 24x24x18.. (which sounds like I knew what I was doing, but infact I just copied the specs from a cab that had the same type of speaker in.. much easier.. that was many years ago.. think I was about 16 then.

    Yeh, it's quite easy if you know what you are doing and can lay your hands on some basic power tools. I'd suggest looking at the Eminence designs and also errrr that bit of cab design software that I have flippin forgotten the name of...help me someone!


    edit: oh yeh WINISD.

    I've asked exactly the same question, and Itchyscratchy said no, they can't interchange necks. You'll have to buy a Jazz and swap bits round![/quote]


    Not sure what body mine is actually, but if you buy a 70's P from Ishi, the necks are so close to a J its barely noticeable. (I have a CIJ P and a CIJ J neck)


    ItchyScratchy lol lol ... thats funny!

    The EBS Classic 450

    I'd like to find out what the point of the stand-by switch is then... another name for a 'mute' switch eh?

    and what of:
    450 W RMS @ 2 ohms load
    400 W RMS @ 4 ohms load

    Not really sure here.. if the load doubles, I would suspect a bigger difference than a mere 50W between loads...

    Whatever happened to...

    [quote name='Super_Mario_Bass' post='121592' date='Jan 16 2008, 05:00 PM']well go on then how cheap[/quote]

    There's quite a few threads running about, including the 'importing guitars' sticky, where a few people have posted the actual cost delivered to their door.

    You can expect less than 400 quid for a top spec model, such as the PBUS62-xx, with is a non export 62's reissue.

    The US version of the 62 reissue:- [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_62vintage_precision_bass_ow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_62vintage_...ion_bass_ow.htm[/url]

    Which lead?

    [quote name='john_the_bass' post='121292' date='Jan 16 2008, 08:35 AM']i did email them and they offered a small discount (minimal) on the postage but weren't prepared to knock anything off the instruments unfortunately.[/quote]


    lol I'm not surprised!! lol.. have you seen the rpice of a USA reissue on Thomann compared to a Non export CIJ reissue from Ishy? - I reckon they are practically giving the CIJ's away.. Some might say that the CIJ's are better too!

    [quote name='Jase' post='121468' date='Jan 16 2008, 02:03 PM']Just got my JB62-85FL Vintage White this afternoon, more than happy with it. I paid for it 9th Jan, it was shipped 10th and arrived here 16th, can't complain at that!!!
    Ishibashi were great to deal with, it came with owners manual, proof of purchase, gig bag, pick guard and another type of Fender satchel/shoulder bag. The packaging was very good indeed!

    Didn't expect this but...it was delivered to my door and not in the usual Parcel Force van, in a car driven by a young lady. I thought I'd have to collect it from the depot as usual, so a nice little bonus there!

    I paid 68,000 yen for the bass and 14,000 shipping and insurace, a total of 82,000 yen, at the time the exchange was £380.

    I'll get some pics up if any Fender heads are interested.

    Cheers

    Yet another happy customer!! ;o) Good news there chap! Nice one.

    EMG extended series pickups

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Yes, yes I have. you may be able to do a search for EMG on here as I remember doing a long post or 5 about the sounds of the EMG extended range!

    Putting the J in the bridge position is a popular choice, as is putting the P in the neck position. I have 2 EMG loaded basses, one that has both DCs and one that has both P's.

    P style is as you'd expect, a P clone. It is said to have the most bottom end out of the EMG pups and I am inclined to agree.
    The DC pups are more raspy, lending a more aggressive tone (yet very clean) that is more akin to the musicman bass tone.
    CS style has a simi;ar tone to the DCs, with the top end rasp, but are a little softer and can be a bit warmer on certain basses.

    All of the extended range pups are powerful and very clean sounding.. but not sterile. I particularly like EMG pups and must admit I am winging it a bit with my next bass, as it will be the first without EMGs.. lets hope I havent made a bad choice lol!!

    to get an idea of sounds, I refer you to my very good friend, Mr Jon Shuker and his 'sounds' page on his website. You'll be able to hear what the differnt EMGs can sound like. The top bass, with Delanos in, sounds most like my Shuker with EMG DCs in.... [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/sound.htm"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/sound.htm[/url]
