I thought Liberty was a budget range, something to do with Tanglewood? They did Ps and Js, also Tanglewood Rebel style basses IIRC Maybe the bass just hasn't got a good inherent slap sound, some do slap better than others. Be aware that good technique is probably the most important factor in a good slap (or any) sound, irrelevant of the bass

Maybe they know about your dislike of Warwick basses?

Scarified is awesome! Been meaning to learn that one for ages. Kinda puts everyone else's to shame

Bought some books and a DVD, arrived in great condition. Cheers matey!

Yeah i managed to control myself and not buy it so it wasn't me! I have to keep reminding myself that i'm selling a bass or two, not buying!

Good work!

Looks like an early P Bass Lyte without the later contours. [url="http://media.photobucket.com/image/p%20bass%20lyte/snackbandit21/twins1.jpg"]http://media.photobucket.com/image/p%20bas...it21/twins1.jpg[/url]

Would be easier and more stable to rout the body to accept the wider neck. Didn't Neepheid put a 6er neck on a smaller body to make an extra wide 5 string bass? There was a build diary on it somewhere, search Zebrano wide boy. As for not being able to buy a 5er neck on the cheap, i'm sure waynepunkdude paid a few quid for an entire 5 string bass! Although it was fugly...

Have you tried putting one pedal in front of another? I switched in the OD on my MXR M80 with my Mastotron still on and it sounded immense! Although you said no Fuzzes, one of my favourite pedals is my Danelectro Black Liqourice. If the octave switch was a footswitch and it didn't hum so much it'd be perfect, it's the heaviest sound i've had and the octave down is great on the A string and above. £12 posted from eBay too

Yeah i tried my Schroeder on a stand and the bottom end went walkies, on the Gramma it's right there and nice and tight. Maybe it's the magic pixie dust in the Auralex foam? So that's where my £50 went! Btw i got all the p1ss taking when i started using it, especially when i foolishly told our singer how much it cost. You sound like a total clown trying to justify spending money on wood and foam

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='608590' date='Sep 25 2009, 01:03 PM']Cheers. Do you have any pics of your 1212L on it? Ive got the same cab and might consider one.[/quote] Yeah can take a quick pic over the weekend. I stand the cab on it's end and it's plenty big enough, dunno how it would be with really deep cabs though

Mine's only the standard size Gramma as i have a Schroeder 1212r. It's very stable, the foam doesn't compress at all. I'd use it with an appropriately sized 4x10 with no worries It's pretty well made, although i don't know how someone could mess up sticking some foam to some carpet!

I'll take the X600 if that's ok, again will need postage. Cheers!

[quote name='johnzgerman' post='607637' date='Sep 24 2009, 01:03 PM']does that mean you can charge more for playin gigs now?[/quote] Err... less i think! At one of the aformentioned venues we were playing a wedding and were a bit concerned about the size of the stage (big enough for drums and backline basically). The organiser got very shirty and huffed "well, it was big enough for Tony Hadley!" Cue 4 musicians rolling around the floor with laughter!
