King Tut

OK thanks - will check this out - the pups are floating on sponge - my main bass - the pups are from a Geddy Lee Jazz. One of the others that does it - it's a really old '75 Ibanez pup. Some good info here to work on. Interestingly it doesn't happen with my more up to date Sandberg JM4

Seems to happen with more than one bass though . . . . .

Anyone?

I'm using a Trace AH200 head (Series 6 GP12) - usually into either a Nemesis 2 x 10 (horn disabled) or an Aguillar DB110. I like quite a twangy sound so boost the high mids to achieve this - usually playing a Jazz bass. Quite often when I turn towards the amp (even when facing away sometimes) I get a painful HF feedback. Am I just being greedy with the volume and top end or is something wrong. I'm using compression from a pedal - but not masses of it - seems worse when using single coil pickups. Thoughts please.

looks much nicer than the one I got off you Nick - hope she plays and sounds as well - then she'll be a keeper for sure!

Shamal . . . . my all time favourite album!

The effects send jack is post eq and post limiter . . . see manual here [url="http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/legacy_docs/LHseries_OM_v1_1.pdf"]http://www.samsontec...ies_OM_v1_1.pdf[/url] (see page 6) therefore can be used to send a post eq signal to the desk.

Sold some straplocks to James. His cheque arrived promptly and didn't bounce!!

Spare geetar - bit of D&B while he/she changes over - only option really!

Here's my white baby . . . . [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCedGkjV-W0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCedGkjV-W0[/url] It's a heavily restored '74 neck, with a Geddy body, refinished in Nitro, 74 bridge, electrics and tuners, Wizard 84 pups and a modern scratchplate.

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Welcome to the forum - it's dead friendly on here - you'll love it mate!

I think tonally - it's fine. IMO it sounds like Alder. I find ash has more low mids and is a bit more 'organic' sounding - ash is my preferred body wood. Visually Basswood is very plain and does tend to 'dink' easily. It's seldom used on transparent finishes as the grain is quite boring. My favourite Jazz had a basswood body, but I've just changed the body over to an ash one. You can see/listen to it as it was (basswood) here . . .
