Got a Boss Handclapper HC2 and a Percussion Synth PS2 left over from the 80's...
-
Bit of both... pick would be a Jim Dunlop Jazz III, from Gu!tar days... or a 1mm Tortex 'Midi' Flats 'n Thumb Rest (I do like a thumb rest...) on the GSR200, so more fingers on that... not sure about a pick on flats?... ordered some cheapy wooden picks from the bay... EDIT: Fixed the problem by getting another GSR200... £50 Cheapy... for Rounds n a pick!
-
Got the Adagio's on my GSR200... as a first try of flats, Nice... As mentoned, warm, smooth and medium tension. Bargain... offer £13... I got another set for the SR600 but have swaped back to the Roto Solo Bass Pressure wounds on that for a bit - so i got both. Some more 'Flat' blah blah here...
-
Give TC a ring or drop em a line... I'd also Cc in where ya got it, hopefuly you will get a response before ya 30 day returns or whatever. I would expect it to run all the time, otherwise there is an extra thermo switch on the heatsink or somewhere, at extra expense Surprised it is not mentioned in the destructions or spec if on/off... a 'feature' worthy of a bullet point mention in sales blurb.
-
Any make really... not sure of the make i have it was just a 2m lead i got from the bay... couple of leads i had knocking about were just phone charger leads, so just power and not all the connections for data. EDIT: just checked... Belkin, so cheap but branded... and kept out the way of the wife, kids n dog!
-
Only issue i have had was using a basic charging USB lead, rather than a full data lead. May take a min or so to find the device and sync...

Are your music tastes eclectic or quite narrow?
PaulThePlug replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Quite varied, (inc the Thomas Dolby above...) but nothing new for quite some time... Black Keys four or Five years back... Royal Blood (based on Trouble Coming... Radio X / X FM) sound interesting. might be the new one for the car... Not a neuroscientist... but familiar with sound and vision 'minerals and suplements'... which might also sway ya music interests.... -
Just turn it up till the cab cones are self dusting! How about a quick blast with the aerosol duster... kind of thing used to clean computer k'bds... available from all good tat shops, pound land etc. Quick blast mind and dont shake or invert, as the jet can come out a bit cold - freezer spray like

Have you thought of taking up the Drums? Jokin' just look to enjoy what you do... dont worry about any one else...

9 - 42... and a wound 16 / 3rd. Bit more meat n feel n full sounding... Plain 16 always felt to thick for a single wire... and thin sounding. Something i read in Guitarist Magazine in thexearly years, By Huw Lloyd Langton... Langton's Lead Lines... For a quid or so give it a go... specially for distortion and sustain...
-
My bass sits in the corner... some days it gets picked up for an unplugged noodle... very occasionaly when i have the place to my self i use the zoom for a twiddle... its fun! some times it can sit for a few days... nevermind... its an escape, a distraction, something to focus the mind. Enjoy where ya at... if ya can.

Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp & Guy Pratt
PaulThePlug replied to Bass Culture's topic in General Discussion
Nick Mason's Saucer of Secrets from the RoundHouse was on Sky Arts the other eve with Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp... -
Apparant Sound, Volume, Impact, Heft... etc a bit like Torque v Power... A lot to do with the circuit topology and damping factor of the amp to control the speakers along with the speakers sensitivity.. Some need a fair bit of power to make the sound, in that way power doesnt always equate to volume. Thoroughbred Watts! Hiwatt, Marshall etc....

Anybody Added a Magnetic Pup to Ibanez SRH500?
PaulThePlug replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
Can the Vol and Tone not be fitted in to a seperate box? on the floor Vol pedal with an extra tone pot added? or little box on the strap, like am EHX headphone amp? - save making holes till ya sure. Room to tape a cheap chinese P Pickup or similar under the strings? just for a try? Sounds like the EDA900 set up of Mag n Piezo. -

I love the natural finish and plain and simple looks... elegant and fuss free. -

PaulThePlug replied to bagsieblue's topic in Repairs and Technical
Can we have a pic of the front? Back looks really nice, better than the 80's thru stripe. what make n model? looks a bit Ibby SR lower horn, but with a jazz-esque bump... Court? -
Yeah, well aware of it, was my Mum's fav back in the 70's... And one of the only chocolate that is safe in my house from the wife n kids... I'm glad its back. Home bargains did a copy... OK but not quite... 18 bars? some will power or "Mum... i feel sick!...." While we are here... Bejam's Pink Elephants... Strawberry Ice Cream in Plain Chocolate Choc Ice, not some choc flavoured coating...

John will sort you out a new jack socket and quality pots for volume and tone with values to suit the type of tone you are after, push/pull pot to single coil tap, the pickup if you want, or other rotary switching for tonal options etc... All wired up and ready to fit to your plate, just connect ya pickup wires... Many happy customers and users of KiOgon wiring kits on Basschat. Drop him a line for MM type options... Reasonable prices...

I think mittens were invented in Basildonshire... makes perfect sense now...
-
how about a loom with pick up switching, vol, tone pots and new jack job from @KiOgon ?
