[quote name='ficelles' post='1299190' date='Jul 10 2011, 07:10 PM']Just wondering on the Bass Terror, is it really overdrive only or is there a reasonable amount of clean headroom? ficelles[/quote] Change the stock 12AX7 valves to 12AU7 valves, which lowers the gain on the pre-amp stage. Did mine yesterday and the change in gain is very noticeable. Was talking to the amptech who sold me the valves, and he told me that 12AX7 valves run at about 93% gain and 12AU7's run at about 73%. Hope this helps. Nige

Still loving mine

Have a look at this lot. They can make bespoke stuff. Not sure on prices. [url="http://www.packhorse.co.uk/index.htm"]http://www.packhorse.co.uk/index.htm[/url]

Burritobass?

With my old death metal outfit i deliberately used a steinberger cricket bat to piss the singer off

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1271283' date='Jun 16 2011, 12:05 PM'] Didn't like the other flyer. We're sorry to inform you all that darts will not be available on this evening as we're playing on the oche.[/quote] Better hide the beermats as well, then

All the above... Also, as frontman/bassplayer, it may pay to slightly simplify your bass lines a touch. Just so it makes things a touch easier to do both in a gig situation. Have a few pleasantries with the crowd, enjoy yourself. And don't get muntered beforehand

Bump for gig reminder

I've downtuned a Squier Precision Special to drop C tuning without any neck tweeks etc. That has a jazz type neck, was ok for six months or so.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1260702' date='Jun 8 2011, 08:25 AM']Shame its a bit far from London, Nige, as I would love to come along. Hope its a cracker, mate![/quote] Clarky, we don't get that far south yet!!! Is the Royal Standard in Walthamstow still open? I know they had tribute bands on a while ago. Might be worth a try if it's still open

[quote name='morsefull' post='1260696' date='Jun 8 2011, 08:21 AM']Lichfield seems to be the place to play at the moment At least three pubs pushing live music in a such a small place is great. I'll do my best to come along.[/quote] Excellent. Hopefully see you there.

Heartbreaker, a tribute to Paul Rodgers/Free/Bad Co play The Windmill, Wheel Lane, Lichfield, this friday, 10/6/11. Free(!) in, probably on about nine. This is our first gig at this venue, so if you're in the area come on down and say hello Nige

He's still a great luthier, but check out the lead times first!!!

ay up. where you been hiding?

Only my opinion... The binding looks too thick when looked at from the top, the dirt on the head stock appears to go around the Fender logo, and the yellow paint doesn't fill me with confidence either.

Pretty much any Motorhead or RATM track
