The decibel scale is based on a Logarithmic scale, not a linear scale. An increase of 3dB represents a noticeable doubling in the volume, so a 1dB gain may well be audible for most people, but most wouldn't really realise it (unless they have sensitive hearing). For example, a 50w guitar amp is rated at 100dB, where a 100w guitar amp is rated at 103dB. Although the Wattage rating is doubled, the dB rating is only 3dB, but the 100w amp will be twice as loud.

Or you could just have a shelf type thing built by a local chippie, and store your basses in their hard cases, and use the cases as "drawers".

Faker query..... Has anyone ever fitted a D-Tuner to their Faker? After my last band sort of faded away after one of the (founding) guitarists left, I advertised for something, and was approached by a local covers band. They do a couple of songs in drop D, and instead of either taking a 2nd bass or frantically tuning/re-tuning between songs, I remembered the good old Hipshot D-Tuner. Just wondering which version was fitted, sizes etc, etc. Obviously, I need to check measurements on mine, but just throwing the query out there.

The best Entwistle guitar IMO is the Warwick or the Status Buzzard.

If it's just tuners, then I have 4, 3 Korg (a DT-10, a Pitchclip and a small plug-in one), and a TC PolyClip. If you're including Amp Modellers as well, then there's a few more to take into consideration... A Guitar PODxt, a B3 & an MS60B. Ooops.

What about something like one of those Exercise Steps, or one of those Tool Boxes that doubles up as a step (and a handy place for your bits & bobs)?

What about the G&L L2000 Tribute?

It depends on whether it's a PEAK watt or a NOMINAL watt. Peak watts are with the amp at absolute maximum (everything on full), where Nominal watts is the amp's output before the signal starts to distort.

Another vote for "keep the JV original". Could you afford a new bass? Why not look at a Squier P bass instead of the MIM, and you might have enough change left to get a replacement pickup to get that modern tone you're after, keep the JV for when you need that vintage tone.

Nice to know there's another BC'er up in this part of the world. Welcome Neebs!

Does it have to be a combo? Surely, if money were no object, something valve-driven & hand made would be high on the shopping list. Also of course, you would have the resources to try out pretty much any rig ever made.

I avoid their website... cos every time I go on there, I come away [I][b]NEEDING[/b][/I] an Everson. Only used them once, and have to say that their customer care was great after I had some "issues". All got sorted out swiftly.

[quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1356681721' post='1912278'] Jason Newsted / Metallica[/quote] Jason's recorded works, whilst he was in Metallica, were "buried" in the mix, he is, in fact a great bass player. If you listened to the three album he made with Voivod after he left Lars & Co., you [b]will[/b] hear some great bass work.

Haven't tried the B1, but have a B3 and an MS60B. In truth, I haven't played with the MS60 too much, I bought it as a backup to the B3, and then my band disintegrated. I found the B3 to be both easy to set up and work with, and it sounds great through an amp or a PA. The MS60 took a bit longer to figure out, but still sounds good (basically replicated my fave B3 patches). I'd say get the B3 & expression pedal out of the three.

I have an L2000 Tribute in the sunburst, it looks and plays brilliantly, but I just can't find "the sound" that I'm after. There again, I like Ric's & Faker's too much...

Is it the same Martin Harrison that works at Electro Music Services in Doncaster? Resident luthier/guitar tech/vintage repairs/etc. Remember seeing a few of his guitars & basses on sale in there, gorgeous instruments.

£350 budget? A cheap P or P/J bass A Zoom B3 A Zoom 9v PSU A couple of leads

Tinnitus, check, both ears. Been using Elacin (now ACS) ER20's for years for music, found them to be comfortable and effective. Tried some similar 3M ones, attenuation was OK, but didn't fit as well as the ER20's, and the "stem" was too short. Used Howard Leight "Max" foam earplugs on the bike for years too (non-filtered, rated SNR 37), but then found some moulded "Christmas Tree" ones at SNR 35 by 3M, which don't need to be moulded before fitting, great for riding.

As the Poll was bass specific, there's only 3 of them in my possession just now, & 1 of them is for sale. If we're including guitars, then there's another 4 to be taken into consideration. Why? 'Cos.

Relax & enjoy. Try not to drink too much before you go on, 1 is ok, anymore might not be a great idea.

The Zoom B3 & the Expression Pedal FP02. Great package & great sounds. Easy to edit patches. The only criticism is that the unit should have the option of having the Expression pedal built in (like the G3x/G5), as the separate pedal is a bit inconvenient. Other than that, it's a great piece of kit.

Holy thread resurrection Batman! I still wouldn't swap my Faker's for anything else, other than a pukka Ric. As I definitely cannot afford 1, let alone 2 4003/1's, I can't see that happening any time soon.
