    Thanks Dan............ So, I'm choosing an area of Mid Freq that my ear likes and then cutting or boosting it? Apologies in advance............

    If my Sandberg sells I should come over and have a sound test. I'm in Swindon

    Evening all, This may sound like a gormless thread but bear with me. The parametric eq on my Shuttle 6.2 has a Mid and a Mid Freq knob. The Mid runs between -15 and +15 and the Mid Freq runs between 150Hz and 2KHz. This surely means I can only be at one frequency at a time, right? I've been reading that 400Hz is warmth, 800Hz is a growly & 2KHz is clanky and defined. How can I have a bit of all of that? Am I missing something here? Are these parmaetric eq's crap? I feel gas.........

    Hello everyone. For Sale or Trade: £999 My Sandberg is up for grabs. I'm not a gigging bassist these days....... This is a gigging bass. I have 6 basses and the Duchess is getting a bit twitchy! Super versatile. Lovely passive mode too. 2 band Glockenlang preamp. Delano jazz and humbucker PUPs. Split PUP function. Active/passive option. 6 bolt neck. 9 llbs. Zero fret. Amazing bridge. Never gigged. Sandberg gig bag never used. Still has the free cap in it. I've worn the pants though! This is a wicked bass but I'm heading down a slippery vintage slope at the moment and it just ain't getting played. I'm also gassing like mad for cabs & amps! I'm after the Vanderkley 210 and 112....... Happy to courier with buyers preference or could meet up half way, or could even deliver personally if you're close enough. Feel free to come over and have a play. Bring your own amp or just plug in here. No worries. Cheers,

    [quote name='grahamd' timestamp='1509897168' post='3402398'] Hi Chewie, I've just picked up an AG500 which I've long wanted, at a great price,so it's really just for a change. I've loved the Tecamp and would def recommend to anyone, Thomas Eich really knows how to engineer maximum performance from his kit. This is super light, so it's not down to the weight and sound is subjective. The Tecamp has a 'taste' knob which goes from modern scooped hifi at one end to warmer vintage lo mid punch at the other, flat in the middle, so can cover all bases. Hope this helps! [/quote]Thanks dude...... I must go somewhere and test a load of amps........... GLWTS

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1509882535' post='3402258'] Keep your amp and replace the cabs. I use my gigging amps (TH500 and AG700) and a BF One10. That's about the size of one of our cushions. [/quote]That is a good shout.........

    [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1509875897' post='3402195'] My 'home' rig is an Ashdown Rootmaster 800 & Barefaced Super Compact, which is (unsurprisingly!) fairly compact, but loud enough to double as my small venue gig rig. [/quote]Thanks Dave, I've been thinking about a Barefaced option. Ampwise, I want something warm with character..... Thought about Aguilar.... I'll have a look out for you gigging.... I'm only in Swindon........ Chewie

    Good morning honourable BC'ers, I barely jam with anybody anymore, never mind gig. I'm a dedicated noodler and lover of the instrument these days. I have a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 and their Focus 115 & 210 in my front room!!!! The room is 17ft square..... ish.... with a bay window, the floor is floorboards and there's a void beneath of about two foot. I'm going to upgrade my rig but down size it to the room...... I think if I can get a smaller set up, I can stretch the amp more and create better tones for the room and my humble ears. What do you guys think? Do you have a dream set up to noodle with at home? Please share your wisdom with me. I play mostly passive vintage instruments, and a beloved Stingray. Regards and respect, Chewie

    I think you should sit down and play. Maybe find a nice chair you could take on stage...... basses don't weigh anything sitting down. Kindest regards,
  15. Chewie
    Hey Graham, Out of interest, how comes your moving to Aguilar? Is it purely tone or weight of hardware? I ask as I'm GASSING about Aguilar too. Kind regards, I love the Xotic.......

    Hello Brighton............! Just about to PM you...........!
  17. Chewie
    Man, I wish I lived closer so I could sample the sound............. You're not ever in the Swindon area?
  18. Chewie
    Hello 40hz, I'm in Swindon and could get up to you this week for a little play. When is convenient for you?

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1506961403' post='3382341'] I don't know anyone in that neck of the woods, sorry. Check out the pinned post about BC'ers willing to help out. [/quote]I've just found it............! LOL

    [quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1506898268' post='3381920'] Around £70 if it's just a level, crown, polish and full setup that is required. Anything more than that would be difficult to quote for without seeing it. [/quote]Cheers......... I've just noticed you're in Shropshire.......... I'm in Wiltshire......... Can you recommend anybody nearish to Swindon?

    Check this out guys and gals........ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-1968-1969-VINTAGE-WITH-CASE-NEW-PICS/332391267969?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 I'm sorely tempted....... Can't be 100% it's a nitro refinish. Any pearls out there.......

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1506850138' post='3381437'] What Ped said. The truss rod unless well out of kilter, won't have much bearing on that part of the neck. Assuming that the nut is ok and you have the correct relief in the neck, then it might well be fret wear. Quite often a graduated leveling is required down that end or it maybe as simple as just one or two slightly higher frets. [/quote]Thank you sir, Do you have anybody in mind that could perform such genius? I live in Swindon. Kind regards,

    [quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1506853073' post='3381460'] Sounds like you've got what's known as a ski jump, sometimes a fret job will solve it if it's very minor and you've got plenty of fret material there. The other alternative would be removing the frets and levelling the board. Not a major job but not particularly desirable on a vintage bass. [/quote] What do you guys charge for a "fret job".......?
