    [quote name='LWTAIT' post='323061' date='Nov 5 2008, 10:42 PM']ooh nice, my taitycaster's got the same pickups in. and did you mention swamp ash earlier? same wood as my taitycaster. youve obviously got good taste my friend![/quote] Nice, How are they for tone? Good taste yes, but an expensive taste no doubt with the way this project is going. o.o

    Right new plan then! Body: 51 P bass Slab (no contours) Tobacco Burst Rear Routed 3 pot holes (2 stacked pots and an input) Pick up Routed for a Single Coil 51 vintage Pickup and a Mucisman. With 72 P style pick guard. Neck: Maple with matching maple fret board. Medium jumbo fret, Tele head Electronics: Aguilar OBP 2 2 stacked pots (volume/volume, treble/bass) Prewired with battery socket and input jack. Pickups Seymour Duncan Bassline Quarter Pound single coil vintage pickup Seymour Duncan Bassline Musicman ceramic pickup Hardware: 4 Hipshot Single String Bridges (gold) Stacked knobs Chrome Schaller tuners (silver) Heavy Duty Strap buttons and Locks ( for windmilling ) Any ideas on names anyone? The 5172 doesn't really work.

    I completely forgot I'm probably going to use round Elixars for loads of tone. I've revamped the plan a bit so i'll be posting new list of bit and bobs i'll be having for the bass soon.

    [quote name='originalfunster' post='322189' date='Nov 4 2008, 08:58 PM']Hi Dave, Yes these are still for sale. I would rather try to sell them both together if I can, But might consider a split if the price is right! Give us a shout back if your interested. Cheers Gary[/quote] Speaking of price, How much are these puppies?

    Hey guys, I'm building a bass in after Christmas, and I'm at a bit of a lose for what bridge to get. Does anyone own/use/have used single string bridges? Are they More toneful compared to a Badass? I have never played a bass with either on them. Also what is the most toneful pickup configuration? I'm looking to use a Musicman in the sweet spot with either a P at mid, J at neck , or Soap bar at neck and i'm not to sure what would be the configuartion to get as much tone as possible.

    [quote name='Delberthot' post='317699' date='Oct 29 2008, 04:13 PM']did someone say gold? [/quote] Fort Knox called, They want their bass back Thanks everyone for the advice. All the pre-wiring deals out there are pretty good, but i think I'm going to have to go with Delberhots idea for Bestbassgear.com prewiring with an Aguilar 3 band. I've also repicked my pick-ups from the same site, now going with Delanos, which I have heard are quite good. The Gold bass has kinda put me off all the gold, But I'm gonna go for something very similar to your P bass, Most likely something along these lines: [url="http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/wehp/?action=view&current=072808234323.jpg"]http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/wehp...72808234323.jpg[/url] Anyway this is the neck I'll be getting: [url="http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_necks.cfm?type=bass&start=1&menuItem=1&itemNumber=BN1971&subMenuItem=0&subMenuItem2=0"]http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_...;subMenuItem2=0[/url] Where they usual Fender decal would good, I'll be puting my personal symbol which is this: [url="http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/wehp/?action=view&current=greywinged.jpg"]http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/wehp...=greywinged.jpg[/url] Might also put that one the 12 fret not to sure tho.

    Hello Everyone! I'm looking to make my own bass after christmas hopefully, But i need a little help............ Well thats an underexaggeration, I need A Whole Lot Of help I've only taken apart bass, i've never actually put one together (or back together after i take them apart infact ) I Have no idea about electronic, I'm absolutly terribly with wiring, and thats where i'll probably need the most help with, as well order all the right parts. I want to start for. I plan to order from Warmoth Direct in the good Old US of A. This is a very vague list of what i'm ordering, But I also need a bit of help picking the best materials for it. Anyway here: Swamp Ash or Maple P-bass body Topped with either Flame Maple or Redwood. (Either Trans Blonde or Trans Blue {whatever is best with Gold hardware}) One piece Maple neck, 21 medium Gold frets, Jazz style headstock, Brass nut 4 Gotoh tuner Machines gold 4 single string bridges, Gold Aguilar OBP-3 Onboard Preamp 1 Seymour Duncan Music Man Style Pickup, And 2 "Lightning Rod" Jazz Pickups 72 style Pick guard. white black white. (might spraypaint it gold) Strap holder/locks Gold Now i'm not sure what to get electronics wise but I think i'll need: Battery box for preamp Capicator(s?) Pots Knobs (gold) Switch for preamp? Wire Copper shielding Jack and jack socket. Anyone up for a joint project over the web, Because i have no idea what i'm doing

    Had a bit of interest so far, but its still available! B u M p!
  13. Wayward-Wanderer
    You definately have some interest from me! I wish I had money, because this was the bass I learnt on as a lad and it used to be my signature thing. Have a bump on me, if this is still around in a couple weeks (ie after christmas ) Give me a shout because i would be completely interested.
  14. Wayward-Wanderer
    Pre-monday bump! (bloody mondays )
  15. Wayward-Wanderer
    Thanks for the clarification guys. Well i do love the new TE's, something about knowing it was made in a shed in by a fat bloke named Mick, screw driver in one hand and mug of tea in the other putting my amp and speaker together is rather comforting. (Though its a rather odd thought) Although the American's having been making quite an impression on me with Eden. Very expensive there to i must say. But for those sort of tones, I wouldn't pay a penny less.

    I've been reading around the forum that the older Trace elliot gear (Pre-peavey takeover) is a lot better than the new Trace Elliot gear. Whilst reading, I have found no jusitification for why this is true. I'm looking at getting a new TE stack (7 band for those interested) and was wondering why people are saying the new stuff is rubbish. Surely its technologically better? or am I missing something? I have only played the new Traceys.

    Well if the spam attacks are coming from one or two specfic IPs, why not just IP ban them? I'm not really good with computors, so i'm not sure that would work or if you can do that
  18. Wayward-Wanderer
    Ladies, put your handbags away What sort of trades are you interested in then?
  19. Wayward-Wanderer

    Hi All, I'm very sad to have to part ways with this rig, But its to big for me to lug about everywhere. No sound quality problems, and its Very very loud. I bought it of another BCer a few months ago. Head: Ashdown ABM 500 "Prototype" According to the previous owner, This was one of the 3 original ABM prototypes that ashdown made when they were making the Original ABM series. Though being a Prototype, there are no bugs in it at all its all lovely head, you can get so much tone out of the EQ, its brilliant. Usual suspects for the features; 2 inputs, High and Low Vu Metre Input mix Push flat EQ Sub Harmonics Output mute pre/post EQ DI Out put (on the front) Tuner out Sub Out 2 Cooling fans Cab: Vintage ABM 212 One of Ashdowns first range of Cabs, apparently loaded with Precision Devices Speakers, done by the previous owner. Rated for 300 watts at 8 ohms I can corriuer at buyer expense and i can spilt the 2 up. 250£ for the Head and 150£ and i'll give you a 20£ discount if you buy both. Your free to collect if you can make it down to pompey, as well as to try them I am also open to offer for trades, Heads/Cabs/Combos, Preferably compact (Tracy/Warwick/Eden but offer what you have and i'll see ) Might do swaps for basses depending on what they are as well as any good synths or keyboard laying about. Thanks! You can now listen to the rig on my bands myspace which is www.myspace.com/alldayknights

    Mine must have been a duff one then I'll be sure to try them out again when the local gets new ones.
  23. Wayward-Wanderer
    Had a try of one down my local music shop, it had no tone what so ever and buzzed. It might have been a defective cab, but its still for sale there so i doubt it. For that kind of money you might want a to have a look at the Ashy ABM 210 combo. Or if you can spend near a grand, the Tracey 12-band 210 is amazing as compact combos go.
  24. Wayward-Wanderer
    Ebs Neodrome 1x12, my mate has one. Its pretty good but i like the eden more. But as a matter of personal preferance, I like 212s or 215s Most of my combo expreinces is from the new tracey 115 and 210 and from the line 6 combos.

    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='313320' date='Oct 23 2008, 09:23 PM']I cant imagine that watching that on a computer will give you any real idea of what it will sound like in the real world [/quote] Probably won't, but i know how its sounds in real life, and sexy don't decribe it well enough. I'm in love with it
