Some pictures I've seen have wooden control panels which to my eye spoils the look of otherwise interesting looking basses. It just looks like a school woodwork project to me on an otherwise amazingly crafted bass. In general, that is, not [i]just[/i] CT basses.

Don't junk the pickups if they don't appear to be working. My mate's Verithin had both pickups open circuit and were repaired very reasonably, much better than buying old replacements. I think you can source most bits on ebay ok. Good luck with it!

Is that a hybrid variety of potato?

Money? Probably no point in trying to emulate his effects, I think he used to make his own. He certainly used his own fingers, and you can't copy them!

I can't think of a bass with a wooden scratch plate that looks any good. I know it's a matter of opinion, but they always seem to look a bit rubbish. I'd happy to have my opinion changed by suitable photo evidence though....

Check the fan is working properly - if it's a bit clagged up it won't cool as efficiently

Try the Ministry of Jazz for be-bop instead

Thanks for the input chaps. I recently sold one of my G2 Midgets with a view to getting the Super. I only ever used the pair in rehearsal, one has covered the gigs so far, easily. It's really the tweeter I'm after, as I use a separate one in a little box. It's just that we've got a gig coming up where the extra cab might be needed. Though I suspect a Shuttle 6 through a SM will be enough. I can always unload the G2Midget if it proves surplus to requirements.

No, he said "it would be INCORRECT to assume that"

Do they play nicely together? Any one on here tried this? Any user input welcomed!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1439060115' post='2839740'] Wonderful. I flirted with flamenco dancing some years ago. Lovely stuff. Not easy, but sometimes I wish I'd persevered with it. Especially as it is a form of dance that you can do at any age. [/quote] Along with "dad dancing", of course...

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that - I have just this, an El Son piezo tweeter (apparently as used in some Trace p.a. cabs) and it works fine for me, just filling a bit of top end where the Barefaced Midget runs out. It isn't overly hissy either, it adds a nice click to string on fret if you like that sort of thing, but for me it just makes the fretless sound a little more acoustic, or natural-sounding, for want of a better expression. It has some built-in crossover (no idea what frequency, but probably quite high) and no attenuator,but the treble control on the amp controls it's range fine. Maybe I just got lucky!

If anyone was around Watford in about '75 or '76 you might have seen a band I roadied for called Media. 2 Shergold twin neck guitar + bass, plus bass pedals and a keybard player! I don't remember either of the guys complaining about the weight, but I did put my back out carrying the Rhodes, as a scrawny 15 yearold.

I'm not allowed Beefheart or the Residents on in the house, but we do agree on most jazz, latin and Joni. She's largely of the opinion that she's seen my band before and doesn't need to se us again (maybe until we write some new stuff).

Looks like a Gordon-Smith!

I just bought the above from 179westwood29 (Andy) of this parish hoping it would be useful for guitar as well as bass. Used it for guitar for practice and a gig last week (my guitarist doesn't own a giggable amp!) and he was delighted th the sound, and I have to say it is rather nice. It's nicely luggable too in its little fur lined bag, though the cab with the EV speaker made up for it, weight-wise. The eq is subtle and interactive, as simple old valve designs often are and will take some getting used to after using eqs where each control actually does what you think it is going to do! Will try using it for bass next practice, but suspect it might come up a bit short on volume, even in my tiny room.

Just bought a dinky little Ashdown CTM15 from Andy, absolutely could not have been better, swift comms and delivery. I would have no hesitation dealing with him again. Cheers Jules

Have you been a bit cheeky with the badges?

Yeah, just whack it up! The light only comes on to tell you you're getting away from clean territory - nothing's going to get damaged. I think the .2 version of the Shuttles was meant to have more drive available than the original.

Good detective skills, no, sharing a stool with a naked drummer is a most unsavoury thought. I think our guy will bring his own rather than suffer that option...

I know it's an unfashionable point of view, but our brothers in riddim can be a little overlooked sometimes. Now, this may be tongue in cheek, but this is from a website of a band we're supporting soon, band name removed: [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]****** ****** is an exciting 4-piece indie/rock originals band, comprising of catchy lyrics, beautifully powerful female voc[/font][/color][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]als, thrilling guitar, pumping basslines and a drummer. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Couldn't they have thought of [i]anything [/i]nice to say about him? [/font][/color]

Sounds fine through my system - quite a warm bd sound
