Do any dead roundwound lovers have tips for reading new strings in the event of snapping or buying a new bass?

And it's a scratchplate not a pickguard. I'll accept plecguard though.

Looks great!

x2 I have one of these as part my "emergency' kit. Used it yesterday as I had to go direct to a PA- perfectly decent for tweaking the tone.

I've had no luck with Roland at all - they just don't respond! I thought I'd ask the good people of BC again... I have a Roland Bass Cube RX, the one with four 4" speakers. Unfortunately, one of the speakers has developed a blown speaker "fart", so I would like to replace it. Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement speaker - a Google search offers no joy.

The drummer I play with says plastic tipped sticks are quieter than wooden sticks. I'm not convinced it'd make a huge difference, but there you go. Might be worth a go though if your drummer is reluctant to use some of the other solutions offered.

I've always thought East 17's Stay Another Day is sparse enough to cover in a variety of styles- one to make your own.

@hooky_lowdown, can I ask where you got the replacement pickguard?

Very cool - nice one.

Thanks - I've messaged them.

Didn't Mike Lull use one of Jeff's Hamer 12s as the basis of a "new" 12er? I think the neck was reused and grafted onto a new body. Did I read this in Bass Guitar Magazine a couple of years back or am I misremembering something else?

Gene can be an enormous prick at times, humble and humorous at others, but is a pretty genuine WYSIWYG guy by all accounts. I believe he's a pretty underrated bass player, and not one to shout about how good and tasteful his long melodic lines were on those 70s Kiss records. Great tone too!

This has total Glam swagger AND make up, but isn't always thought of as glam.

I remember this well, RAW magazine (the wannabe Kerrang). I was keen on getting the drumkit but my parents convinced me to get a bass (a Marlin Slammer)

I'll send you some pictures

I have one. Contrary to what most internet options are, I don't find it at all wooly. Quite middy in fact. I actually modded it so the humbucker is wired in parallel to round the tone out a bit. Nice neck too. So nice I took it off and put it on something else. (Not trying to hijack the thread, but if you want to buy the complete body it's doing nothing in cupboard)

One of these would do it Fender ABY Pedal Switch Between Two Amps or Guitars 023-4506-000 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HQXUH5W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_USZwAbXNJ0RPR There are cheaper ones out there too. A friend if mine uses one of these to switch between guitar and pedal steel into one amp.

Very nice

That wedge monitor looks dangerously pointy!

This is the case for an Orange Bass Terror. I have one and have tried to do exactly what the OP suggests with no success

[quote name='Mike Brooks' timestamp='1510086984' post='3403938'] I chose 1987 and hence the INXS/Def Leppard/George Michael albums. [/quote] I can't see any problem with any of those albums being featured as a bass album. However, you've missed a behemoth of a 1987 album, certainly one that's influenced countless bassists- Guns n' Roses, Appetite for Destruction.

I know it's pretty much a no no, but good enough for low volume practice at home. [url=https://postimg.org/image/4bw3ejvmz/][/url] I couldn't face carrying the 4x10 into the house so I got an old 2x12 out - it's been gathering dust for 20 years. It sounds pretty good at low levels - I daren't turn it too loud though. Cab is an HH from the seventies I think + it might actually be a PA cab.

Mine arrived today. Works just fine.

I got one last time. Chucked it in my gigging bag unprotected for months, had to use it last week as my pedal tuner packed in. Worked fine. Ordered another as a spare spare.
