fleabag

If he was showing off his skills, i wouldnt hire him. He can play, and he has the technique, but he just tripletted and falammed all over a track that didnt require it. If he was just showing off his talent, he should have just played to a backing track or something

Well he can certainly play but as said, he's not very sympathetic to the song. The silly mask / make up is a bit irritating but not relevant The big faux pas is the horrible drum sound. Its an acoustic instrument and all those lovely responsive overtones have gone , and in place of that, he's left us with the sound of someone playing a lump of Play Doh covered in cotton wool Yuk

Hey, they're really going for it.. http://www.chasedirect.co.uk/guitars/bass-guitars/guvnor-gb-704-four-4-string-bass-electric-guitar-new?cPath=1_15&

Its starting to look like in 20 years, someone will be posting ' Chase Guvnors - what's all the fuss ? "

Go for broke and fit top class pots - Bourns or CTS, but Bourns take the biscuit http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?213849-Bourns-vs-CTS-pot-which-one-is-better

Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil gunstock finish is fabulous. Just my preference [url=http://postimage.org/][/url]

Never use glue for nuts The best stuff i've found is clear silicone sealant - usually found in automotive shops. 1 little dab each end of the nut will be fine. It takes longer to set ( leave over night ) but will be a doddle to take the nut off anytime in the future, and it wont rip any wood off when removing If you get your nut sorted, dont use glue next time

Case proven m'lud Actually, it sold for £45 and on here some moons ago, and i made a tenner, not fifteen IIRC. Wish i still had it really

What a brilliant coup this thread is - your mum would be proud 7 pages to discover that a particular bass is liked and not liked. Something which could be said about every bass made, from a £40 Chase Guvnor * ( yes i owned one ! see Bee low ) to a £5k Ritter bootick slab. Of course, you have to pick the right bass to conjur up such a thread. 10/10 for that. A rollercoaster of a chit chat and should be out in paperback very soon Talking of real estate going spare, check this baby * The offending Chase. PS i made money on this, seriously. About £15 [url=http://postimage.org/][/url]

Something which i suspect could be done with 2" of polystyrene slab Just mosey down to your local independant fridge/cooker/hoover leccy sales shop and ask them for some polystyrene packing from inside one of their fridge shipping boxes. Its usually free

£64 for a bit of sponge ? Seems the main benefit is to the ' inventor '

Thanks bird ! Off to do some wiring

My J style bass has a P and a J but both are Humbuckers, and have decided to pull out the East Retro 01 and fit standard control plate Vol Vol Tone The Humbuckers are just 2 wire jobs ( hot n ground ) as per normal J bass pups. So as i have forgotten the most basic of wiring up configuration, ( der ) would this diag be ok ? I've seen variations, which is why ask

Cheers Bill Oh man, i'll have to reply to the guitarist and say he was right. How depressing

So that guitarist was right ? Dammit 1db is just noticable but only in the midrange ?

I struggled to find the answer here on searches, there's just so much info. But, a guitarist ( yes one of those, not a bassist ) says that a human being with normal hearing, can detect an increase of less than 3db. I thought the minimum increase a human ear can detect was 3db, assuming the human has no impairment to the ears. Or maybe it's 2.9db or something. Is 3db just a ball park figure ? So, you have a bass cab that has a driver with rated efficiency of 100db. You set your amp volume at number 5. You get x amount of perceived volume. You then change the driver ( same cab , same TS spec, leave amp volume knob where it was ) but the driver is now 103db efficiency. Can one perceive a volume increase. ? All things being the same again, but with a driver with efficiency of 102.5db . Can that increase be perceived ? Or what about 102db... ?
