    The Five string bass has dodgy battery contacts. With some tender loving care it is fine and dandy. A truss rod tweak will make it sweet.

    A drummer friend of mine said that I put the beat in a sexy place. Hmmmmm........

    Well, it looks as if delivery to Bristol will be included in the price. Sorry.

    [quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1430213200' post='2758905'] What manner of bass are you thinking of for this? [/quote] It will be going into this http://basschat.co.uk/topic/128791-shukfellow/ so the longer shaft should be fine. Thanks again everyone.

    I have run the system I am using at 18V and must admit that I did not feel the benefit, but for space reasons I will be using the 2 x A23 12v trick

    Sorry for being dozy. One of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231543202368?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    I used to have Peavey Midibass - it tracked fine but was less than inspiring as an instrument!

    [u][b]I am placing this on hold until I have had a chance to try it with the new Bergantino amp. I realise that this is a poor selling techinque, but sorry, that is how it is.[/b][/u] Price drop to £350 So, I am having a change. It is a 4ohm jobby. It would cost £700 + to bring one in from the US by the time everyone had taken their cut. You know how it is. I needed a small cab because I was fed up of carrying my big cab. I looked at all the likely 12" candidates and decided to go with an ACME. I have always fancied trying one as I like his honesty and general attitude to speakers. It is light and well constructed. It has a port on the front. It has massively satisfying low frequency extension. There is no obvious sonic weakening as I slide down the B string. It fills the room with chocolatey goodness. Frequency response: 41Hz to 22 kHz +/-3 dB. -6dB at 31 Hz Power Handling: 350 Watts RMS continuous Recommended Power: 300-400 watts Sensitivity: 91.1 dB 1 watt/1 meter Impedance: Available in 4 or 8 ohms Dimensions: 23"H x 15.75"W x 16.5"D Weight: 37.5 lbs Please ask if you have any questions. Price is not including carriage.

    Thanks everyone. I love this place

    I have a pair of 40J soapbars with a BTC circuit. I am about to have them put them into a new bass but would like to have passive tone control in as well. I am aware that the treble control will give me an element of HF control, but I like what a passive roll off does (I had one on a set of EMGs with no active EQ) so fancy having one put in while I am at it. I am drilling a new body so now is the time to decide how it will all be cut open. Do I have to use an EMG pot? If so which one? Where does it go? So many ideas, so little ability to realise them Obviously I will not be doing anything with a soldering iron, they hurt me.

    Glad I missed that otherwise I would now own a HB 335. Like I need a guitar in my life!

    I did a session once, the engineer looked at my bass and was amazed that I had EMGs in it. He said "I thought they were meant to be all zingy, bright and clinical. They were not. They sounded really good". A lot of internet hearsay tells us that EMGs have no soul. This is not true.

    B2M is ok-ish if you are happy to go up an octave and be super clean, but do not expect to plug in and be triggering of your normal lines. I am using a You Rock guitar for midi stuff. Obv not my normal bass but it means I can use basic plectrum technique and trigger interesting sounds.

    I wish I could think of something, but I cannot, and I have spent a solid hour thinking about it 2x15 active wedge with 2 x 19" rack spaces?
  20. Owen
    You just never know.
  21. Owen
    I will have them. I will never watch the Rush one because I would rather pull my own teeth out with pliers (I hear they talk highly of my stuff as well), so if someone else want it, give me a nod. If you ripped your others before donating, how did you do it? I would love to rip mine but have never found an easy way.

    I am not expecting this to run out of the door, but when the right person hears it calling then all shall be well bump.

    £600 Bump

    One less now.

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1429190736' post='2749011'] My ACS customs should hopefully be here in the next week or so. Big lump of cash to throw out but then again, you only get one set of ears. Liam [/quote] You only get one set of ears. I cannot now play without earplugs in due to damage. I cannot hear detail in what others are doing. Playing is not as much fun as it was. Everyone sort out hearing protection. Do it today.
