  1. Hi,

    We have finished 5 songs for an upcoming EP, and now need to convert the finished mixes into a final product.

    Can basschatters recommend anywhere suitable to upload our WAV's and artwork and receive it all back in CD format?

    We are looking at an order of around 100. Cost is obviously a factor, but it doesn't need to be cheapest option available. We've gone cheap before and it didn't work out well.

    We'd prefer proper CD cases opposed to plastic wallets, and the quality of the printing and the paper they use for the inserts must be of decent quality.

    If they are astute enough to notice/adjust any obvious differences in volume this would be useful too, as the songs were recorded in two studios and mixed by two separate engineers.

    Thanks in advance,

    Will

    I'm not sure of the age of it, but it's a couple of years old, I believe it was a year or two before they stopped the S1 Switching System.
    So I think Possibly 2007/2008

    The serial number will help you out here; Z (2000) + next digit = year of manufacture so Z8 = 2008.

    Lovely colour. I had a Candy Cola American Series P with the S1 system. Lovely instrument. GLWTS.

    What are your thoughts on having a bass built for you to your very own requirement? And what would you be prepared to pay?

    I'm awaiting a Bravewood P, which will come in around £1500.

    Like yourself, I love Fenders, but they don't offer what I want, which is a '57 styled bass with a slim profile neck.

    Bravewood are just down the road from me, and the idea of actually having a bass made, in the true sense of the word rather than put together, really attracted me to them.

    Seeing John carry off a freshly sprayed Precision body by its unbolted neck made me think how much I would have to pay Fender to get a neck pocket that fits that tight. It's details like that that make me think wooden instruments should be crafted, not engineered.

    My spec is a lightweight white blonde, with 40mm nut width. And will come with a Bareknuckle '58, like yours :)

  4. I've used a TB500 for years, great amps with loads of heft to the sound and as convincing a 'valve' tone as anything I've used previously. I did change the valves to a set of lower-gain Philips ECC81's as this focused the sound more- complaints about the preamp being 'wooly' with the cheap Chinese ECC83's are justified IMO and are easily solved with some classier valves.

    I did get frustated by the limited EQ section whenever we played a difficult room, but invested in a DHA DI EQ which solves both the hot DI issue (mine is an early model) and the EQ issue in one go. £35 off this very forum.

    You won't need a 1000. You'll be going FOH before you'll ever reach the limit of the 500.

    This is seriously my favourite record of all time. I want it played at my funeral.

    Ha!

    I've asked my wife to play Gay Bar by Electric 6 at my funeral. I doubt she will.

    So I'll throw Gay Bar into the mix, and this:
