  1. That would be a giveaway. In that case, a) they're not, I've never seen one!
  2. is it one of the strings vibrating on the frets BEHIND the point of fretting? You may be damping the unplayed string less if you are fretting 2 strings
  3. This may sound like a daft question, but are the Speakons on a Shuttle the combo type that will also accept a mono jack plug? It feels like it might go in but is rather tight, so I stopped before I did any damage by jammimg it in and either getting it stuck or splitting the socket. Cheers Jules
  4. " So far the body blank is marked out, the neck rough cut and the truss road fitted and the LEDs have been installed into the fretboard. On a previous build, I fitted LEDs to the face of the fretboard but this time I'm fitting them on the side." Good choice.
  5. Thanks G. I actually prefer people to post the URLs as I can't view embeded YouTube on my Kindle Fire HDX, which is a major pain in the ar$e for me, especially on threads that are YouTube content heavy. If I'd known the Kindle didn't support flash, I probably wouldn't have bought it.
  6. Being an open-backed cabinet (at least, my Dominator Mk111 was) the cab is not optimal for bass, but if it sounds ok you wont be doing too much damage to the speaker. I regret selling mine.
  7. Shot by a lad from work, we didn't get any say in the editing, but he did it for bobbins.... It's noticeable that the quality of the hand held is miles nicer than the static. Static is an hd camcorder, hand held is a decent slr. Sorry for the bvs, the wiggly thing and the face! It was the end of the set... http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUUn_5qNguo
  8. You could always offer the use of your rig as backline for all to use. That would sound better than a little Trace combo. I don't suppose the venue would mind.
  9. There was a thread in the bass amps for sale that had a PJB combo sprayed cream with a dye specially made for vinyl and fabrics. Got to be easier than trying to re-cover the thing. I'm thinking of doing it with my Sessionette, in burgundy, or similar.
  10. I bought a Bronco on behalf of someone and could barely put it down while it was with me. It was great for about £72 s/h in immaculate condition. I really enjoyed it.
  11. That's a thoroughly decent thing to do, I commend you.
  12. Spot on answer Daddy-O. When my friend changed to black tapewound strings on his old Verithin, the bridge had to be moved to a ridiculous looking angle to get it intonated. It looked wrong to be right!
  13. Hi all I'm heading to Brugge for a few days, arriving Saturday afternoon. Can anyone recommend places to go to see live music please? Nothing too rowdy, I'll listen to most things, Mrs MBA is paticularly fond of latin, and some jazz. Hope it's not too tall an order! Cheers MBA (Jules)
  14. You could put a preset pot inside the control cavity to reduce the offending pickup and balance the two then forget about it and use the controls as normal happily ever after.
  15. Looks the business, any more details on it?
  16. It makes you think about the ritualistic element of "healers" of various ilks. Is it all about releasing the inner healing abilities of the body? The more ritual, the more buy-in. Probably includes church and prayer too...
  17. The bassist a at jazz jam i used to attend fits his db in a Citroen C1, back seat folded, head over the passenger seat. I was surprised to say the least, but it went in easily.
  18. Could someone please post the url? Can't view embedded clips on my blasted kindle. Cheers
  19. Could it be a rattling truss rod? I had this on a bass with a very stiff neck (carbon fibre reinforced) that didn't need much tension in the rod. You can try rapping gently on the neck with your knuckle with the strings damped and see if it clicks. If this is the case, you may consider going up a gauge of strings and putting a bit more tension in the rod. Good luck. Jules
  20. [quote name='mep' timestamp='1392327047' post='2367548'] I have 4 and 3 are in gig bags and 1 is in a hard case. All stood up in the cupboard under the [b]stars[/b]. [/quote] You'd be better off keeping them indoors!
