Hiya,

welcome to Basschat.

always good to hear when mods go well

always paid rehearsal rooms. I've never had the luxury of space enough for rehearsals at a house plus there's the neighbours issue.

Very recently with my current band we've managed to get a residency room at rehearsal studios which has made things much cheaper and easier. I'd recommend it if you want to practice frequently.

I fitted one to my main (4 string) bass when I played in a band that had lots of downtuned songs. Once you get it set up properly then they're great. Easy, fast, accurate tuning down and up again.

They are expensive though, guess it depends on how much you downtune.

I used to do this quite a bit but hadn't done it in ages until recently when I saw a band which had a great bass sound. Then I just couldn't help myself, had to wait till the end of the gig and sneak through the crowd to have a peek at the pedal board.

Turned out to be really ordinary (common, mid price stuff) but just used really well. Made me smile.

I'm having a similar problem going from a Jazz-style neck to a thicker P-style so I'm looking into replacing the thick neck with a slimmer one.

I likes it too.

Nice work

Me too, let me know about that support group


[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='932321' date='Aug 21 2010, 10:36 PM']I once played disco basslines in a manner so sleazy that the (female) drummer's boyfriend threatened to beat me up.[/quote]

That's brilliant, I wonder what he thought was going to happen? that she'd be seduced?

[quote name='Stag' post='920018' date='Aug 9 2010, 08:28 PM']sentimental value to it, as it was bought with money from pretty much everyone in my family for my 21'st birthday... a few years back ahem.[/quote]

Not to be a stick in the mud but this would really bother me. I have a bass (only about £500 new) that was bought by my family for my 21st and there's no way I'd let it go.

I know different people would feel differently about this.

always 2 and spare strings.

They are both fretted 4 strings and I only ever play one. I've never had a failure but can't stand the worry of snapping a string mid song and having to change strings on stage in front of a crowd.

same here

[quote name='clough' post='911654' date='Aug 1 2010, 08:34 AM']sorry for the delay in reply, Rob - I'm in the middle of moving house !

I can look into courieringlater this week if you're still interested (but as I have no transport getting the thing to a post office could be difficult)[/quote]

Thanks or getting back to me but I'm sorted now.

Good luck with the sale

Hi Mike

hiya

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='907312' date='Jul 27 2010, 04:55 PM']I have old strings a plenty lying around if they're any use. PM me if you want them. And fair play to you for being a good mate.[/quote]

+1

Could offer old strings but I'm afraid that's about it. You sound like a great friend to have in times of need.

I know its been said before but Basschat really can act as a community of lovely people. Well done all for your generosity.

[quote name='Smash' post='905482' date='Jul 26 2010, 09:11 AM']No it's fine, I live in a shared house and I have the box room, I am just cutting back on items I do not use, I already have a Schroeder 410 so one had to go and at the moment the 410 is being used, I honestly would keep it if I had the space.[/quote]

ah fair enough. I'm trying to justify this to myself but I don't think I can I'm afraid. Good luck with the sale

how much does this weigh?

I'm in Leicester, any chance of a drop off? You're in Leicestershire right?

any chance of arranging a courier/post? I'm up in Leicester

do you mind me asking why you're selling this?

Please feel free to tell me to mind my own!

little bump for a nice bit of gear. I use one for rehearsals and little gigs, it can keep up with a medium rock drummer and has DI out on the head for PA support.

Just auditioning extension cabs for mine.

Edit: looking at the picture in the original post, this might be a slightly different model to mine different grill and input meter.
