Neck through SG!!! Nice. You shouldn't have any broken headstock issues with the maple neck either. Are you doing this at John's or going "solo"?

Bought a nice little acoustic from Alfie, exactly as described, he keeps his gear in good nick. Buy with confidence! Cheers Jules

DangerBoy on here had some individual bridge units for sale within the last week.

sounds like the speaker may be a bit loose. Try tightening up the mounting screws/bolts. Does the cone have a tear in it? We assume the cab has been functioning ok up to this point?

[url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/my-new-grabber-build-728351/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/my-new-gr...r-build-728351/[/url][/quote] It might have been, but I thought it was a standard guitar-sized humbucker - that looks a bit bigger, but just the right size by the look of it. I could be mistaken though - this was in 1979....

[quote name='stingraybassman' post='1164283' date='Mar 16 2011, 12:08 PM']Cheers for that mate, he is making the slider himself so housing shouldn't be too much of an issue. Is there anything new that you think will be tonally comparable?[/quote] DiMarzio did a humbucker sized bass jobbie which a friend had in his Grabber copy. Just the ticket, I should think.

Very good. I'd like to hear less drive on the guitar too though, and a nastier lead sound. But I think this is what you were thinking, yeah?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='1138443' date='Feb 23 2011, 12:24 PM']AR18s? I didn't think these were 'studio monitors'. I used to own a pair, with a NAD amp back in the day . Nice bookshelf speakers yes, but studio monitors ?[/quote] I know that, it's just what I've got around (at the moment!) but they're quite neutral and I can listen to them for a good while without them making me head hurt. Could I get much for under a ton s/h that would be [u]that[/u] much better?

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1137340' date='Feb 22 2011, 05:19 PM']erm. the rockwool goes on the outside. air/space in between the outer and inner wall is the best for sounproofing. whats on the ceiling? also stuff quilts in the corners, although this is for bass trap probs, it's still pretty standard issue. you can listen to where the highs are being reflected and fix with soft stuff. soft stuff is the key to most room/ambience problems.[/quote] The rockwool is between the ply and the outer brick wall. The ceiling is also ply with rockwool on top.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='1137061' date='Feb 22 2011, 01:22 PM']Not sure what monitors you have but they usually recommend that they are positioned away from walls and especially corners. Headphones may be a better option ?[/quote] Just looked up the monitors and they're recommended against the wall (they are bookshelf speakers really, AR18s), so that answered my own question. I didn't think headphones were normal for mixing on, mixes tend to come out sounding bass-light on regular kit. Any thoughts on what I should put on the walls, and ceiling?

Originally intended for somewhere to keep my drums out of the way, it's just big enough to rehearse with my 2 3-piece bands, cosy, all fine and good. Now, at the Mrs. request(!), my Zoom multi-track, amp and speakers are all in there too, so it needs to be able to act as a mix room and recording room all in one. Currently, it is 9mm ply over 2" (compressed) rockwool, thus ultra bright. Almost a cube at 2.4 x 2.6 (x2.4H) Any suggestions welcome for making it better for listening to mixes and playing in. It's only really going to be for rough demo/learning tunes, not any kind of "finished" product. How about positioning the speakers? No room for floor stands. Shelf or brackets? I realise these are complex issues, and I may have done things differently if I had set out to do this, but it's done now, so I'd like to do something to help it acoustically. Cheers Jules

Exactly what he^ said. Pretty convincing and commited sounding.

I'm getting big hair and shoulder pads. But enough about me!

[quote name='cocco' post='1129220' date='Feb 16 2011, 08:33 AM']Never mind the front! Have you seen the back?[/quote] Thanks for that! TBH, I was never keen on zebrano until I got this, but close-up it is quite something. SEI often seem to have a lovely flame on their necks too. Oh, and it has blue side l.e.d.s too, but I didn't want to show off...

Don't let your credit/debit card out of your sight! Seems to be the skimming capital of europe.

[quote name='Jam' post='1122722' date='Feb 10 2011, 03:03 PM']I'd be there if I didn't already have pre-valentines day plans, hope it's a good one though [/quote] Thanks dude, it went really well! Our new drummer was spot on, and really tore it up. We've transformed from an acoustic duo to a fairly noisy 3-piece quite seamlessly. Just need to work on the dynamics a bit more and we're done. Audiences in Oxford are great too, really quiet and respectful of the solo acoustic dudes, and appreciative of the noisier stuff too. We had a lovely evening. Hope your evening went just as well!

Hi All We're back out again in Oxford playing our own brand of psyche/acoustic pop. We have a new drummer, and things are getting louder! He's got a good feel though, you won't be deafened. Also playing are Welcome to Peepworld, also playing original tuneful and subtle music. It would be lovely to see some of you there. Cheers Jules

Got a Fishman Neo-d acoustic pickup from Chris - seamless transaction and a pleasure to deal with. Cheers Jules

[quote name='Rodders' post='1111464' date='Feb 1 2011, 07:05 PM']Yeah I thought I'd Probably be in the minority with Percy.[/quote] I've heard Percy Jones sound nicer. I think I heard his playing on Brand X before I heard Jaco. He's very much got his own style, and I think his sound was assisted by home made pedals (please correct me if I'm wrong, I can't substantiate this)
