    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='635430' date='Oct 24 2009, 04:22 PM']+1, although I prefer the Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator knob to the Visible Panty Line knob.[/quote] [quote name='EssentialTension' post='635430' date='Oct 24 2009, 04:22 PM']In both cases my tone comes mainly from my fingers, hand position, strings, pickup selection, and rolling back the treble on the bass itself. If I had to run anything far from flat I'd think there was something wrong either with the room or with my equipment.[/quote] +1 Exactly!

    [quote name='buff' post='635146' date='Oct 24 2009, 09:37 AM']Available on the red button today, what a great bass player barry adamson is.[/quote] +1 One of my favourite bands; 'Real Life' is a brilliant album...

    [quote name='leschirons' post='629229' date='Oct 18 2009, 01:53 AM']I know this should really be in "How was your gig last night" but I feel it's more allied to playing bass. Got in about 45 mins ago from a gig. There were about 150 people there and it was an informal dinner type jobby. With that many in the audience over here, you'd usually find about 4 - 6 musos and you'll end up in the occaisional jam/free for all. Usually mind numbingly slow blues but not tonight. I had the pleasure of having to play 3 songs I knew (in my head) but had never actually got around to playing before. I'd really forgotten how great they were. Scottish girl said she wanted a go at singing. She could do it. Up on the roof, Will you still love me tomorrow and You got a friend. So, a serious King / Goffin fan. Not difficult to busk but what great numbers. Sorry to sound like a 57 year old but they don't write them like that any more.[/quote] +1 Great songs....

    That's a great bass and a fascinating bit of feedback from it's creator! IIRC, I had a go on this bass at the SE Bass Bash in 2007 and it was stunning! I am a fan of black basses, so I wouldn't change it personally but if you do, I'm sure it will be equally as impressive!

    This cab sounded pretty good at the SE Bass Bash as I recall.. If i didn't have too many cabs already, I'd be very tempted by what is a real bargain!

    [quote name='Higgie' post='628684' date='Oct 17 2009, 01:24 PM']I know this thread is way way old, but I'm just so happy with this bass it's unreal! [/quote] I'm not surprised! The JV Squire series basses were excellent anyway, but with the addition of the DiMarzio p/ups...! Fabulous

    Sounds great - good luck with it !

    That's bloody gorgeous Chris!! I started playing bass properly in bands as a teenager on a Hondo Ric copy and then scraped enough cash together finally to buy a proper Ric, which I kept for a few years.. They are very unique instruments and I'm not suprised to hear what you're saying about the tone! Do you think the fact that they're thru neck makes a difference?

    [quote name='Captain Rumble' post='627087' date='Oct 15 2009, 04:55 PM']For Sale my Wal pro 1 1987 W2782 its on the evil bay at an evil bay price but if one of you guys is interested make me an offer. Those that went to the SE bassbash have seen it and those that didn't "shame on you" I've put up the only pic I have at the moment but can post more detailed pics if required Any questions please ask I probably wont know the answer but I'll just add it to all the other things I discovered I didn't know about it whille at the bassbash. Cheers john[/quote] Thinking about it John, I'm not exactly sure whether this is a Pro model or a Custom model? It was built in 1987 so that is in the 'Custom' era if you like, but I can't remember what circuitry Wal put in these particular models... Because even a Wal passive bass has some kind of circuitry in it.. Not sure if that's a help to you or not but thought I'd mention it in case it is. Nik

    [quote name='sshorepunk' post='625831' date='Oct 14 2009, 11:20 AM']Prompted by a thread in a the for sale section, I think we need a Pedulla thread in the pron section as things things are incredibly sexy, and mighty fine basses too! Mine is a 5 string Pentabuz, bart p/ups, had the laquer removed from the neck so it's down to the bare ebony as there was a lot of wear in it I thought I had a photo of mine on this laptop, but I was wrong, gonna have to use a shot of it in action for now! [attachment=34438:pedulla.jpg][/quote] Have to agree! That's a very nice looking bass indeed....

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='626431' date='Oct 14 2009, 09:36 PM']Gotta bump this old thread as Dennis Dunaway is the bomb! He was crucial to my early bass listening. AC's original band was awesome. DD had really good tone & some amazing groove going on [/quote] +1 He was also incredibly melodic too and in the AC band, the bass was really influential in a lot of songs..and that's what caught my attention most when I first started playing bass..i.e. that it was okay to be 'musical' as a bass player..

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='626147' date='Oct 14 2009, 04:25 PM']I shall definitely be attending this as Dave likes the idea of having a wall of Barefaced cabs on show! I'll be doing a workshop on acoustics and tone at 2pm, which unlike the other workshops will be free, because I'm worth it. Alex P.S. Just noticed I'll be Herbie Flowers' warm-up act. Am scared...[/quote] Cool! Will get a chance to hear them this time as I was too busy at the SE bash...

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='625217' date='Oct 13 2009, 04:52 PM']Nice - had a go on Clarky's on Saturday and couldn't fault it.[/quote] +1 In fact, it was a real pleasure to play..And I'm sure this one will be too!

    Don't know about custom basses, but custom beards and carrots - there's a subject worthy of debate!!

    [quote name='51m0n' post='624586' date='Oct 12 2009, 11:39 PM']Quite right too! Maybe next time I'll show you what I mean, get a bunch of pedals and a couple of decent rack comps and cop the pedals with the rack comps. Then show how much more useful a rack comp is, blah blah blah. Ending with my usual rantasm about the stupid pedals (apologies one and all!). Then again maybe not![/quote] Great! That's one workshop sorted for next year!!

    Hi Mark Welcome! Good to see more members on here from Sussex! When you say cheap set-up, do you mean you are thinking of changing your Rumble for something else? Nik
  22. silverfoxnik
    Cheers Guys! Will investigate...

    [quote name='Clarky' post='623840' date='Oct 12 2009, 11:06 AM']Hey Walman, good to meet you. The protector on the back of all of my basses is called a ScratchPad. I wrote these up in a thread on the forum [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58475&hl=Clarky"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...5&hl=Clarky[/url] They are available from Thomann or, most cheaply, on eBay (best search string is ScratchPad guitar protector, I think)[/quote] Hi Clarky That's really useful to know.. Happy Jack has some of these too IIRC.. Also, where do you get those super sexy chrome strings from and do they do 5 string sets do you think? Nik

    Rob I can't believe you're doing this.. You mean to say that winning the Hartke Bass Attack pedal on Saturday wasn't enough to cure your GAS for you? Nik

    Last ones... [attachment=34347:Peds_Workshop_1.jpg] A spellbound audience, transfixed by ped's Workshop..or were they transfixed by how amazing the V-Bass is! [attachment=34348:Peds_Workshop_2.jpg] This gives a good indication of the size of the Theatre... [attachment=34349:Plux.jpg] Plux [attachment=34350:Raffle_Table.jpg] The Raffle Table at the beginning of the day [attachment=34351:SFNs_gear.jpg] My Eden combo and basses (what an untidy mess!!).. And a lovely Gibson as well. [attachment=34352:Siddx___...ing_Room.jpg] Silddx & Oli in The jamming Room.. [attachment=34353:Siddx___...Fretless.jpg] Silddx and his Warwick fretless looking very retro I thought.. By the way, I do have some of Jakesbass doing his workshop but they're on a different camera so I'll try and upload those tomorrow.
