They are also making a GT200 with a mid control and offer them both, if I can't track down the monster that is the Bass 200 then I'll get one of those with a dual preamp setup and get slave in and outs on both GT's so I can run them together from either preamp setup. Till then I'll have to mess with my Strategy 400 you could of course buy that and get close to what that JC4000 is going to kick out [/quote]Slick.

:wub:

Steve, tell me more about Copey's amp.

Is that a Bassman 135? Looks too cool.

Hi Sam, welcome to the best bass guitarist forum on the planet. We have so much knowledge, taste, experience and warmth on here. Trick is, deciding who has any of the above. What music do you listen to and who are your bass icons, not including your Dad.

I want a delay pedal for some outer space stuff, to compliment my Malekko B.assmaster fuzz pedal. Can any of you pedal dudes fix me up? Cheers Steve.

That is very nice David, very nice.

Chill the f*** out. I thought the majority of posters were musicians, not waynkers.

Now that's a pedal board! Give me your 600D, please?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='865199' date='Jun 12 2010, 02:06 PM']You too. Have fun. You need to earth each section of shielding so that it acts as a sort of faraday cage. I prefer a belt and braces approach and solder each piece of foil despite it having conductive glue (apparently). Here's a pic of when I did my SUB as an example of the "science bit". [attachment=51980:SUB_shielding_3.jpg] With multi cavitied basses you have to earth each one which ultimately of course goes to your main earth.[/quote]Very nice. Copper foil is a bugger for cutting your fingers.

[quote name='Clarky' post='861620' date='Jun 8 2010, 11:02 PM']Hi Mark, I don't suppose you have a great local luthier/guitar repair shop who will do it for £20-30? I'm afraid that what I would resort to as I would be too cowardly PS, did you manage to get the action just right?[/quote]Err, how's £150-200 grab ya apples?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='861333' date='Jun 8 2010, 06:46 PM']I've done 1 or 2 myself (including re-frets) and it is entirely possible to treat both sides of the neck as a separate jobs, with the front of the headstock a third. If you don't need to go near the fingerboard then don't. [/quote]I thought it was the whole neck he wanted refinishing.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='861299' date='Jun 8 2010, 06:13 PM']Nice bit of lateral thinking but I think it would be easier to simply remove the frets, spray it and put new ones back in.... but that's me.[/quote]I've refinished maple necks and you have to rub down the entire neck, fingerboard included, you basically have to sand in between the frets and that is the tricky part. You then have to file and sand the lacquer off the frets, as if you were doing a fret dressing, taping up the exposed fingerboard to leave the frets showing.

Holger Czukay?

[quote name='silddx' post='860826' date='Jun 8 2010, 11:36 AM']The SR16 is designed to be used live as well as in the studio. It should be all you need, great sounds and many of them, and is very user friendly. I've used them for years, had the original HR16 aswell. It should be exactly what you need, Chris. £50 for an SR16 with box and manual and in very good, fully working condition is the right price.[/quote]Plus 2 to all of that. HR16, what a brilliant sounding unit, SR16, size of a book, £50, buy it.

Re-lacquering a maple neck and board is really tricky.

Is it straight, are the frets level, is it fit for purpose? Then bolt it on and stop worrying about its appearance.
