  4. I'm pleased to offer the opportunity to buy a fine (and unique) instrument Crafted originally in China, it has been extensively (and lovingly) modified to allow it to be played in a wider range of positions. Obviously it can still be played as it was originally intended, but also in two different upright ways, first on a custom-made post (included in the sale) which will allow you to blend seamlessly into any situation where a double bass is needed, and second on a more fixed/stable tripod stand (also included) to allow you to mix playing it with other instruments without the need to control its UPRIGHT-NESS (tm) yourself. Since the above images were taken it has had a second piezo pickup fitted, which comes with its own volume and tone controls and output jack. Price for such an amazing instrument ? Barely believable I know, but I am asking only a mere £120 shipped.
  5. The band I play bass in is a bit like that, the guitarist/singer put it together and he does all the songwriting/organising/etc. I mostly get to do my own thing as regards bass parts, and am quite happy to let someone else make all the decisions as regards where we play, what the setlist is, etc. The way I look at it, he has an idea of what he wants to do with the band, whereas I'm just happy to play music, so it suits me fine. At the last count, we have had (IIRC) 23 different people contribute at various gigs, in part due to band members having other bands/commitments which get in the way rather than people hired and fired, though one or two have only done one gig
  6. according to this site [url="http://www.mijfenders.com/frmframe.htm"]http://www.mijfenders.com/frmframe.htm[/url] - "Made In Japan" instruments are pre-1997 (recent ones are "Crafted In Japan"), and a T+ six digit serial no. is 1994 - 95
  7. is there perhaps a connection between the OP and this thread ? : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99255&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99255&hl=[/url]
  8. Here's a correction - it's Tabs, not Tab's.
  9. having owned all sorts of Bongos, the 4HS was my favourite - nice buy !

    Ramps

    [quote name='theplumber' post='938942' date='Aug 28 2010, 06:30 PM']Reeks of the kings new clothes...[/quote] I made myself a ramp to cure my wayward/excitable playing which produced some nasty clicking noises as I bounced the bottom two strings off the last fret. It worked really well for me, but having sold the Bongo with it on, my technique has improved such that I don't feel the need right now to use one.

  14. I'd give it a chance (unless you've already heard it and hated it) as it still removes the highs from the signal. but in such a way that it doesn't get muddy. If you're looking for that particular sound, then obviously replacing the cap/resistor with a single cap is the way to go - the Seymour Duncan site is, as always, good for a clear diagram of what to do.
  15. 14 gigs / 1 rehearsal so far this year, though there is talk of a second one
  16. . . finally caved and ordered one from Bassdirect a minute ago I do play on a few hollow stages, and the idea that the audience can't hear me properly is always a concern

  19. ta I'm off to Devon in the morning, I shall listen to those on the way (downloading from Amazon as I type).
  20. could those who like the band put their albums in some kind of order (especially when it comes to the bass playing) what else is there in a similar style that I might not be aware of ?
  21. I'd charge £20 if it's a straight swap in something like a P or J bass.
  22. It's just been announced that The London Music Show has been cancelled for this year, which shows the struggle that everyone out there is having right now By and large if you've got the gear you NEED you can always wait a little while to buy something you'd LIKE, if money's tight.
  23. "this is a collection only item. paypal or cash on collection." no need to enquire further, shirley ?
