I have recently bought myself a epi EB0 (cheers neepheid) which is devoid of pickups, tuners and bridge. I want to make a fair attempt at making this a nice bass though don't care if it ends up looking propper rat like, it just needs to sound and play well. I'm a lefty and its not so it'll get a bit of modifying to make the transition, ie moving the controls onto the scratch plate. I want to put a replacement pickup in as well as an extra one at the bridge. Also need bridge and tuners. Pickup wise i was thinking about the DiMarzio Model one as it seems to be the only high quality pickup made for the EB0 though i'm not sure if anyone else make such a pickup. For the bridge pickup it doesn't matter really but a MM pickup would be good, Bass centre seem to be selling the basslines one for £65 which looks a good deal. Bridge, something high mass with lots of screws, badass, schaller or the like. Tuners, don't really care but 2L 2R and exceptable quality. Does anyone know the best places to find all this? Thoman seem to selling the model one for around £70 but i don't know where the best (cheapest) place is to source a bridge and tuners. oh and switches, need two little ones for coil tapping and a big one for pickup selection. any sort of part selection or where to find it advice would be appreciated, always feel like i'm getting ripped off when searching for hardwear.

Bought a bare epi EB0, bargain price and quick to deliver. Cheers.

U2 are like this thread : really boring, but yet i read it, sh*t. i'll be buying U2 albums next, actually no i can't, thank f*** for the credit crunch.

bought dave's antdroid (strange prototype pedal), was sent quickly and all that. top stuff. Cheers (though my girlfriend is annoyed with amount of noise i'm making at the moment) Harry

i'd be up for this, is there anyone else making the trip from southlondon who would want to lift share? it seems a bit of bitch to get there by public transport. could bring my self built monster, a little mark II and a few box's of tricks

Sold me a pedal power supply, damn good price and quick delivery. good stuff.

Bob dylan - jack of hearts well simple but great fun to play. been playing along to the whole of blood on the tracks all week as my girlfriend has it on repeat, does anyone know who's playing bass on that album? nothing flashy but solid bass playing, what you'd expect with bob i guess. oh and still playing playing jazz heads, currently enjoying funkarello - bill evans (i think) mr. clean - freddy hubbard (again not entirely sure)

Cheers, exactly what i was looking for, will attempt to check it out sometime soon. Harry

Does anyone know of any good jam nights in south london?, preferably near the peckham/camberwell area. I miss playing different styles of music to the heavy rock/blues band i'm in at the moment. A jazz session would be the best but if there's a folky thing local to me i can happily thump along to that for hours. Oh and talking about the peckham/camberwell area, does anyone else on here frequent JazzLive in the crypt of st. giles church? awesome jazz club.

Stick it on your ipod and go for a walk, the 'one' is alternately on left and right foot. Maybe i have odd feet...[/quote] yeh i know, its not until you walk with it that you realise, unless its on a compilation and its called 7/4 shoreline, i hate that they do that, i missed the joy of discovering a weird time signature.

shoreline by broken social scene is really good, in 7/4 but it takes you a while to realise. another classic is take 5 by dave brubeck, obviously in 5/4. quite a few of the tunes previously mentioned are in 4 but have a slightly wierd pulse - the birthday party one is actually in 4. there are quite few funk tracks which are supposedly in 'open' time - which means bootsy wasn't counting so it ended up as 17/16 or something wierd, the only example i can think of is the crunge by led zep, funky as hell, nuts time signature but feels completely right, so easy to play and groove to, which i guess is the point.

Hi all london giggers, we (Black Sea [url="http://www.myspace.com/blacksea)"]http://www.myspace.com/blacksea)[/url] are booked to play the bull and gate in kentish town this thursday but unfortunately our singer is all flued up so will have to pull out. the venue has asked us to try and help them find a replacement so putting it up here for the picking if anyone wants it. The night is for anything from rock to metal so if you're a least slightly amplified to incredibly amplified you'll fit in. The slot is the headlining one so you get a full 45 mins between 10.15 and 11.00. it one of the standard london unsigned gigs where you get paid if enough people come and see and there will be no real pressure to get a massive crowd for a gig at this short notice. Just contact me if you want it and i'll put you through to promoters. if theres kit issues i'm sure we can help you out, kind of our prerogative. cheers Harry
