    Acoustic Bass

    mybass replied to Johnm93's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='Johnm93' timestamp='1385504142' post='2289166'] So, thinking of an acoustic bass as I live in a flat and have neighbours below. Plus, I just quite fancy one. Are Tanglewoods any good? Any better options? John. [/quote] allighat0r here on basschat has a Washburn (AB10 I think) acoustic bass going, good bass model...

    [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1382630729' post='2254720'] PRICE DROP TO £650 I may be interested in part trade on Markbass LM3 or even Markbass 2x10... Only one gig under its belt and has since sat in its Warwick headless bass case for a few years. Excellent action on maccasar ebony fingerboard and 5 piece maple/wenge neck, lovely sound off the walnut and mahogany body. Seymour Duncan pups. I kept thinking I could get into headless bass but its not to be. I design and build basses, have done for over 15 years both for myself and private orders than are generally more expensive than priced here for this bass. This bass plays very well, feels solid and has a great look to it. The top bout follows the contours of the fender bass The body wood is very pleasing to the eye. There is a sound clip lurking on my computer somewhere if anyone needs, email address please. [/quote] Bump

    [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1383587558' post='2266276'] PRICE DROP TO £350, HAVE TO SELL IT AS QUICK AS CAN BE.... Why can't I alter the price in the main box using full editor. I've noticed this 'hiccup' before which is why I've had to put the updated price in the blurb here. This unit is 'as new'. Bought it new (original rrp was near £1850) and used on one song in a studio ten years ago and since then it has sat unused, ungigged, unmarked. Got the manuals. Flagship unit from Roland, a main unit in many studios. Comes as just the unit, no cards. I basically do not use keyboard stuff except for straight electric piano. Seen these about here and there in as used condition for different prices so I'm hoping this is an attractive price for an as new condition one. I could be on the lookout for a similar condition Markbass LM3 [/quote] Bumping

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1384773505' post='2280438'] I did a gig on Saturday with a bunch of musicians I didn't know (got a call out of the blue - always a little risky). Great singer, great trumpet player and fair alto saxophonist and piano players. The drummer, however, whilst setting up, said 'I am normally the other side of the footlights doing the p.a. I haven't done a gig for about a year'.... (not hadn't done a Jazz gig, he hadn't done ANY gigs) Thud - (the sound of my heart dropping like stone) It was bizarre: he couldn't swing and played it absolutely straight - no tension and release, no dynamics, no interplay, nothing; like a cheap drum machine without the time. Ironically, his ballad playing and Latin grooves were fine but he just couldn't swing. The rest of the band carried the gig off and the audience liked it but you just don't want to hear that before you start to play Nice guy, jsut no swing in his DNA. [/quote] 3 hours before a gig..German promoter calls to say his sound man now has a more important gig to do than ours so we can do the PA ourselves, can't we, as it is all set up. PA is laying all around the club stage floor, all monitors incorrectly linked ready to blow the main amps!

    [quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1384339197' post='2275374'] I've bought a new nut for my VM Squier P-bass - a Graphtech PT1204 slotted which is supposed to be a replacement for precision bass nuts. Having compared it to the old one however, they are noticeably different - the original is sloped toward the G slot, has a flat bottom edge and is thicker. Excuse the camera phone pic, old nut is the white one. [attachment=148322:WP_000071.jpg] There are so many variations available on the net that I'm finding it near impossible to find a exact replacement. It's obvious that I've wasted £9 on the new nut (unless there's someone on here that wants to buy it from me), but is there someone in BCland that makes nuts? I'm sure I've seen a thread on it... Please help! [/quote] Here is a link with what looks like a flat bottom nut for a P bass...from WD in Kent, UK ....http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/pre-slotted-bone-nut---precision-bass-neck-8238-p.asp

Always worth a try to return it for a flat nut?

    [quote name='SevenSeas' timestamp='1384360535' post='2275697'] Anyone using one? [/quote] I also put some plastic 'tupperware' type boxes around the (floor of) the bass, drill a series of holes in the lid(s), fill with water, replace lid and away you go. I don't think any way is ideal except maybe not having central heating!

    [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1383811441' post='2269286'] Today i was told by a wet behind the ears assistant MD (that's assistant to the MD) that fretless is no good in rocking songs. It's ok if you put chorus on it in chilled out tunes but not in rock. I've been playing as long as this guy has been alive. The guitarist left the room as he thought i was going to go nuclear. i had to bite my tongue as i didn't know if it had come from the MD. It hadn't. He even told the guitarist to try putting some pick scrapes into is playing. The guitar player has been the player for every big version of this show in th UK for 11 yrs. I think this kid thinks he is co MD not assistant to. Today should be interesting! Am i wrong? Am i being precious? or is it a naive, ill informed basic cliched thought? [/quote] Too many people have been amazed at end of shows to find out I played fretless all night, with some very rockin outfits.

    [quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1383379255' post='2263707'] I've a gig in Munich at the end of November, the one and only gig abroad this year (or for any year actually) I usually play 2 basses with this band, my fretless P-bass Lyte and my Shine 8-string. Would welcome any ideas on how to best fly with these - neither is standard size for a hard case (not that I have any hard cases other than a standard Fender for my jazz), I don't really want to splash out £150+ for a new double case for a one-off gig - I could take just the Lyte and pad out the case, but any suggestions would be welcome Thanks [/quote] This will take a bass inside its soft case .... http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?id=13&c=84&o=&s=75 I've had one for 12 years and it is not broken or damaged yet, hopefully due to its rounded edges not getting caught on airport luggage handling or in the hold. I've also stuffed just enough clothes into it with a single bass! I haven't tried this for ages....used to be told we couldn't carry on instruments but that instruments could be loaded onto a 'fragile luggage' trolley once cheked in that was in a special collection place in the airport, which was wheeled to the aircraft by staff and loaded into a secure hold . I've never tried fitting two basses inside the SKB though angled headstock basses most likely would not work. BA usually allow a bass in the cabin, using the least bulky looking case you have.

But this looks like a nice little piece of kit [/quote] thanks K-sad, yes it is a very nice piece of kit indeed, lovely neck to play on, much nicer to have than a couple of the 'plank' type basses I had considered previous to building this.

[/quote] Well, fretting it now would put the side dots out of position but I also know any confident fretless player won't need frets to play reggae....unless you are interested k-sad....! I'll add a montage page of pics....

    PRICE DROP TO £600 Only one gig under its belt and has since sat in its Warwick headless bass case for a few years. Excellent action on maccasar ebony fingerboard and 5 piece maple/wenge neck, lovely sound off the walnut and mahogany body. Seymour Duncan humbucker pups. The tuning system uses normal strings, the ball end anchors at the top end of the neck and it stays in tune for ever. I kept thinking I could get into headless bass but its not to be so even though I designed and built it, I'm just not using it at all so it has to go or else I will be dismantling it. I design and build basses, have done for over 15 years both for myself and private orders than are generally more expensive than priced here for this bass. This bass plays really well, feels solid and has a great look to it. The top bout follows the contours of the fender bass outline and the two end strap buttons allow different playing positions. Can be posted but always nice to try before you buy. There is a sound clip lurking on my computer somewhere if anyone needs, email address please.
