Dem Jolie-blues

Hello, and welcome, i'm not that far from you, you'll enjoy this site i'm sure.

I love yours too !

Put up a pic on here for us all to see the end result please

Good saving .....

i can see the sense price-wise, i looked at selling my custom finish Silhouette to Richtone Music, they said it would only sell for 900, if that's true a std finish model might sneak in at the top of your price range.

Thanks @Soledad for this thread, i'm learning from this info, i have lindy fralines in my jazz, 5% overwound, but that said, would their mids rise too, (relatively) if wired as depicted in this thread, and maybe the @KiOgon loom, i have a different aftermarket loom in at the mo. apologies for the mild hi-jack

AS above, Always

I take my Matamp head for a service, or currently (pun) a dry joint, Jeff the owner has lots of stories about the early days of Ashdown, hasn't stopped me from owning three of them compared to one M/amp though, i think my overweight Bta300 was british built, i know my Orange OBC115's are. perhaps like Chowny basses, they start with good intention in Britain but to compete, have to source abroad, shame. Is that us wanting everything for as little as poss ?

MaTamP, still trucking in Yorkshire since the sixties, no idea where all the materials come from though

I had one, moved it on after trying the Silhouette6, same scale, but getting flatwounds for it was expensive

Hi, i use a Musicman Silhouette 6, its just a more expensive version of what your looking for, over two grand new i believe, but as a guitar an octave down, its actually guitar sized, the Squier is huge and heavy by comparison, the musicman can be re=strung for baritone, how much you wanting to pay ?, besides as little as poss !

the BTA is hybrid, solid state front end so it has the ability to compensate between different basses better, but it weighs so much, (5 stone), my semi-acoustic Gretsch is awful with the 30 watter, nothing but hum, i think youll be happy with the Ctm100, it seems to do it all.

ok, sounds like a plan. i have Lindy Fraline 5-percent overwounds in my jazz, but yes, deliberately mismatching the pups could be an interesting issue.

i have a BTA300, a CTM100, a CTM30 tweed, the 100 stands out above the others, good job fella.

Hi, so why aren't you fitting a Rick pickup in the neck position then ?, but it has great potential , be watching this.

.... at least they won't be highly strung

Is a 10'' cab enough ??? NO

PMT have this at 480 quid !!!!, ex demo, so tempted ...

Must admit, all my head-amps are Ashdown, I wouldn't want a bassman for its looks, I'll buy anything in 'tweed' though.

Ok, i need to do some homework, i admit i didn't know of all the variations, it would be a more modern re-issue job i guess, thanks for the reply.

Hi, so does anyone use one of these, or have one they wont use ?, opinions on them please.

I saw them three times in Huddersfield early seventies, Snowy White was in then, had a brief natter at the bar with Mr. Lynott, i didn't play bass in those days, still not as good as him all these years on, my favourite to play is ''Still in love with you''

I thought the the two extra strings were spares in case summat snapped on stage ?

My favourite T-shirt for gigs used to be a red Zildjian jobby, just to confuse folk ...
