[quote name='punksoul257' post='63384' date='Sep 20 2007, 11:21 PM']i want one, is there a badass bridge that accepts through body strings??[/quote]
Yes, the badass 3 bridge accepts through-body or top-loading.
I've got one on my TB. -
I've used Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech) a few times and he's alright.
Drop him an email and talk shop about prices and what you want doing; that's what I did. -
[quote name='steve-soar' post='61318' date='Sep 16 2007, 07:08 PM']Hi, just a bit of tyre kicking here, what ohm ratings are the cabs? Do you get the full 400w through them?[/quote]
Each cab is 4 ohms, so when both are used together you get the full 400w.
If just one cab is used the head puts out 250w.
Cheers. -
Do EMG make open-polepiece P pickups?
-
Bump for piccies!
For trades, it would depend on the combo's specs. -
I bought 1 from them (chummymusical) and it's sweet.
Well worth the dough and sweet with a pick. -

I can never work out why anyone would want to actually [b]buy[/b] straplocks when this method is, as far as I can see and in my own experience, foolproof.
The only downside is that you have to drink Grolsch - unless you know a barman. [/quote]
Can't go wrong with the Glolsch straplocks.
The 500ml bottles cost about £1.50 in my local corner shop, so £3 gets you a set of straplocks and nearly 2 pints of drinky.
I got a set of schallers years ago, but don't use them as the Grolsch ones are top.
There's an old ashdown advert with Pino playing a sunburst fender, and what straplocks is he using?
Here's a clue: Glug Glug Buurrrp!
It's not just the rubber seals that you can recycle as well... [url="http://ecotopia.co.uk/goblet-grolsch-bottle.ir?cName=eco-gifts-all-gifts"]glass[/url] -
OK, here's what's left:
[b]D'Addario EXL160-5[/b] nickel roundwound for 5 string (.050, .070, .085, .105, .135). Brand new, still in protective packaging.
£14 inc P&P.
[b]D'Addario EXL165[/b] nickel roundwounds. (.045, .065, .085, .105). still in protective packaging.
£10 inc P&P. I have a couple of sets of these.
Cheers. -

I'd be able to knock £100 off if you were just after the head & 2x10.
The 15" cab is worth the least out of this lot anyway, and I'll still need to get rid of it.
Cheers. -
I saw them at the NIA on the 5th and I thought the performance was a little lacklustre, even though the songs were good.
Sting's bass sound seemed to get buried under Copeland & Summers' playing, which is a shame as it looked pretty good.
Sting's son's band were pretty naff. Can anyone say nepotism? -
Bump, as I've still got some of these left...
-
Good work BigRedX!
Looks like I'll be shelving the idea of getting one of these then, for the time being anyway.
I'm surprised no-one on here has one actually, given the amount of lusting after trick kit that we all succumb to.
Never mind.
Thanks for the replies dudes! -
[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='54620' date='Sep 3 2007, 10:33 AM']The "Tribute" thing works thus;
HARDWARE from USA. Assembled in Korea (IIRC) Almost exactly the same theory as Lakland "Skyline" models. Prices are invariably lower, and the last tribute 2000 I saw had a 3-piece ash body that was not at all well matched in terms of grain or colour for a naturally finished item.
The woodwork on the USA G&Ls is generally much better, at least on the natural/transluscent finishes.[/quote]
I got a new Tribute L2500 in natural off the bass centre website for £400 + £10 P&P. It has a 2 piece body that is nicely matched, and is generally kick-ass.
I don't know if they've got any in at the moment though... -
Come on guys, someone must know something?
-
One of these was reviewed in the Feb '05 edition of Bass Player ([url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/naimish-bridge/Feb-05/178"]bridge[/url]), but the company's website doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone know if these things are still available?
Thanks. -
The Behringer 'Ultrabass BX3000T' and 'BA410' cab were reviewed in the April '05 edition of Bass Player. The head seemed to garner a lot of praise from them.
They do have a massive range of bass gear [url="http://www.behringer.com/02_products/musicalinstrument_index.cfm?lang=ENG#BASS%20AMPLIFICATION"]Behringer bass[/url], including a 2500W stereo bass amp for £430 (RRP)!!.
I suspect there is a lot of gear snobbery involved when it comes to Behringer stuff, but at least its ubiquity should mean it's easy for you to locate some and give it a try. If you like the sound and think the construction is alright, you could get some real power for not much cash. -
I'm back.

I'd better start buffing my thunder 3 up then!

[quote]Talking of which I think its about to name the fender any ideas?[/quote]
Winston? -
Well, no-one bought it in the end.
Maybe a lower price will be introduced? -
Is £250 the going rate for these?
I'm sure I've seen them going cheaper on the 'bay. Even though this is a nice looking one...

Special edition 1 of 100 made, or so they reckon.
Of interest to anyone on here?

Where can I get? a 70s (75?) RI CIJ jazz

I reckon I'd be up for a nice white Jazz (like the one fleamail is selling on here, only (hopefully) cheaper), but I'm unsure as to it's exact model name/number designation.
Can anyone tell me what it is that I crave?
And what kind of financial damage do y'all reckon I'd be looking at?
End of questions, for now.
