    We all love to to believe that our favourite makers have that special sauce, but pickups are magnets and wire wound around them. Allan does this really well and for a good price compared to lots of the "names" out there.

    I have used Allan for various projects and he always comes up trumps.

    All that stuff is way beyond me but it also foxed 3 very experienced techs.

    1. So that the player can whip up to the top and play swooping fretless. or 2. 70's Fender necks do a thing called ski jumping where the end of the neck kind of starts sticking up. My 73P neck has an element of it. The frets at the top have been taken down a bit and it is not an issue. Also I do not play above the 5th fret.

    If they had used corresponding colours on both pickups I would believe that they knew what they were doing.

    I know that people get all excited about mixing different cabs and drivers etc etc. I had an NV610 back in the day. I paired it with a Boogie 1516 driven by an SWR SM400. It was just air shifting perfection. I think your NV215 deserves a special friend.

    It's a beautiful thang.

    AND one for flats!

    This ticks so many boxes it is unreal. This is serious bargain o'clock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bill-Fitzmaurice-Designed-Simplexx-2x12-Bass-Cab-with-Beyma-SM212-12-Drivers/324530511836?hash=item4b8f869fdc:g:LfsAAOSwqVBgVfFN I know there is a forum for this, but I guess it is one of the obscurer corners of the site. I have no afiliation to the seller but would already own it if it was not a 12 hour round trip.

    Luna Bass

    Owen replied to stewblack's topic in Build Diaries

    Ver, ver funky.

    Can you guess what I might say here? Nothing you have not heard already.

    That would be a fabulous cab. If I was within striking distance I could not stop myself.

    Once I worked out that converting it to a 5 string was my stupidest idea this year so far, I was out. I nearly drilled the headstock of the BW P I used to own.
  14. Owen
    I have 10+. Each bass has a really specific sound, which cannot be replicated with another bass. The subtle differences really add to expression possibilities which will enhance all the different situations I play in, in specific ways. Until anyone else starts playing, and my earplugs go in. Then they all do the same thing. Some go lower than others, but that really is it.

    I had a 10 second burst of buying that P and putting a 5 string neck on it. I am over it now, but it was exciting!

    We will be needing full pictures of the Bravewood re-finish.
  17. Owen
    I mean this in a good way!
  18. Owen
    Witness the new OBBM.
  19. Owen
    That pm from brian looks to be the one which has won though.
  20. Owen
    If this has not gone I will take it.
  21. Owen
    Ain't this the truth. We have a bunch at work (FE College). They take the most fabulous abuse and keep on going.
  22. Owen
    We live in such a weird bass ecosystem. If this was made in the US it would be commanding twice the price at least.
  23. Owen
    I used Lemon oil on a new neck once. Something REALLY nasty happened to the frets. Scratchy and horrible they were. I have no idea if I left it on too long or what.

    DOD Meatbox Reissue

    Owen replied to rushers's topic in Effects

    If we are discussing the Meatbox, I bought one when they came out. I sold it again. I honestly could not work out how I could use it at gig levels without breaking things.
  25. Owen
    I suspect that white lead might need to be attached to that solder there, but I REALLY do not know.
