I appreciate this thread is 99% good content, and some valid points have been raised... But like a few other recent threads there are hints of personal opinion being 'enforced' rather than voiced. Please please please keep it clean guys. You don't have to agree to discuss. Cheers folks Shep

Guys - It's just an opinion. Your both allowed to have different points of view and your both allowed to voice them. Which you've done. It doesn't need further 'debate'

He's ideal for that seat I reckon. But what do I know.[/quote] Difference is that you are a drummer! In fact I still think of you as a drummer rather than a bassist that's how we met a mere 11 years ago. Guess bassists that don't play drums look for something slighty different. Unfortunately my opinion is with the masses here

Tommy The Cat by Primus. All hail Les Claypool!

1st year in ages that I didn't watch. I only found out this year that it's not live and it ruined it all for me! I know it's common knowledge after everyone I've discussed that fact with over the last few weeks has had the same response - "How didn't you know it wasn't live!?" I really didn't know. I hate the fact they all celebrate and countdown to New Year falsely... And it's filmed mid November! It shouldn't bother me... But it has so much I doubt I'll watch I again!

[quote name='Finbar' post='1074298' date='Jan 1 2011, 12:31 PM']That's stunning, I won't lie.[/quote] Cheers bud [quote name='Dread Bass' post='1074335' date='Jan 1 2011, 01:21 PM']Nice one Shep it looks amazing. At some point when I am back in notts we need to have an erb bass bash.[/quote] Sounds like a plan dude! When I have this in my hands I'll take boat load of nice pics and pop it in the GB Porn thread as well...

[quote name='bleedproof' post='1073988' date='Dec 31 2010, 08:26 PM']Just been playing the Evo - I do love 6 string basses. Although, I try and give the other two basses attention, but it's hard. I imagine it's like having a favorite child, but not being allowed to let the other know.... [/quote] I don't really have that issue as I ONLY own 6er's now! And until the GB arrives just 1 fretted and 1 fretless so both have thier place. Love your Evo though! I do miss my Overwater. I loved the tone and the looks. But the weight was sooooo impractical I couldn't play it standing up for more than 10mins before I was in pain. 12.7lbs Being my 1st custom build though it will always have a place in my heart [quote name='EBS_freak' post='1074024' date='Dec 31 2010, 09:24 PM']Nice one dude![/quote] Cheers man. Can't wait to get my hands on this now! Very happy with how it looks. The 'Autum' burst is great. I told him Spalted would look great

[quote name='bleedproof' post='1073981' date='Dec 31 2010, 08:17 PM']Looking good bud. What a great way to finish off 2010 and a new arrival for 2011! Stu[/quote] Yeah. Just need to persuade you to part with that Evo6 and my collection will be spot on

Got as call from Bernie just now (I suggested he stopped working and went to enjoy NYE!) and he sent me a few pics over. He's been working hard on the bass... And it's basically done! Electrics need fitting and the final setup needs doing after a couple of parts are polished out. Behold... All I can say is... Oh my god it's gorgeous... Shep

Moved this to gear porn as it's not technically a build diary. Nice set up though. Love the shape of those Yamaha's Shep

Welcome to Basschat. This certainly shouldn't be in our feedback section, so I've moved it to bass guitar discussion where will most likely get an answer to your question. It's a Cort (obviously) but I can't make out what it sad on the headstock next to it? Clearly Cort's take on the Precision. Price-wise I would like to guess and many here are more educated, but I'd say $70 was a damn good buy Please note if you do advertise this to sell on BassChat (as you mention it being time to move on), please do not do it on this thread. You will need to list the bass on the For Sale section. Shep

[quote name='sshorepunk' post='1071521' date='Dec 29 2010, 10:19 AM']Shep, that is some board, insane man, the moog hook up looks cool, spent some time checking it all out last night, but too extreme for me Tony[/quote] It's pretty barmy but sounds amazing. The Moog section is basically a modular synth itself. The LPF gets lots of use but the FreqBox is barmy... Very strange beast. I use the MP201 to drive the FreqBox with LFO's and other craziness. Coop fun Shep

If you want a big rig for the sake of it 2 cabs are better than an 8x10 IMO just for he fact you can take one cab if you want. If you going ebs i'd get the head and a single 4ohm cab like the 212 and see how you find the volume. You can add another 4ohm then as the head will run down to 2ohm. I ran a 212 and 115 NEO for ages into 2ohm but sold the 115 as it seemed pointless running the amp on a quarter volume against a loud metal band. Dropping the 2nd cab and running 4 ohms still gives me more volume than I've ever dreamt of!

Neo cabinets are lighter in terms of wood used... The Proline Cabinets are heavier duty. The Neo speakers are lighter and so save even more weight. Neo speakers also have a higher power handling. Tonally there is little in it. I find the Neo to be very slightly (only a little) lacking in low mids compared to the Proline but that's easily EQ' back in if you miss it. The Prolines seem to have a heavier bottom end, in fact I often take a little bass off the Prolines (again only a tiny amount), but I suspect that's due to the heavier solid cabinet rather than the speakers. I prefer the Neo mainly due to the weight... But am more than happy using Prolines as they sound huge.

[quote name='Steve Spector' post='1071293' date='Dec 28 2010, 09:41 PM']Can I ask you why you got rid of your Fafner and got the TD650? Steve[/quote] Course! I also have a HD350. Which I prefer the flat sound of when you compare it to the Fafner. The Fafner is awesome, but I prefer a funky boingy tone, even when playing heavy stuff. The HD350 lacked the power though. The TD650 sounds more like the HD350 but with all the added power. One thing that brings the Fafner into it's own is the amazing drive channel... Which I never used. It just so happened that another basschatter had a TD650 and wasn't keen on the funky tone and was using the drive loads. Basically it made sense to swap them round so he had the warmer drive channel and I had the HD350 tone with more power. We could always swap back if they didn't work out for us. Thankfully it worked out great. To be fair the Fafner & the TD650 have much in common and with EQ tweaking we both coup of achieved the results we wanted. It just happened I found someone that wanted a Fafner while I fancied trying the TD. If I hadn't of found such a person I'd of kept the Fafner and it still would of been the best amp I'd ever owned. Shep

The Proline is not in my possession yet... It's on the way. I only need 1 can as it's more than loud enough! I bought the Proline as I got it at a bargain price and can't afford another Neo yet. I can't see why anyone would need more than 1 EBS Neoline 212. The cab can take more than a Fafner II can throw at it. Unless your playing stadiums or the O2 Arena you only need 1 4ohm cab. When I have the money I'll sell the incoming Proline and get another Neo because it's lighter...

I use 212's. I find they do the job of evening the sound better than other cabs. What I have found though is that one good one (like an EBS Neoline that can take 600w) I generally enough and I can't imagine needing to use 2 cabs. My EBS Neo 212 does the job perfect! Shep

[quote name='mcnach' post='1071233' date='Dec 28 2010, 08:26 PM']Yup, that is what it sounds like when you twist the string as you install it.[/quote] I'm intrigued by this concept as I've never heard of it an hav always wrapped the string around the peg a few times to get it started. Never experience the issue describe here and I've of thought it was a nut issue, but if I do in the future are people basically saying to use just the machine head to coil the string rather than starting by hand and letting th machine head finish the job? Shep

Top man. Cheers. Definitely seems worth the extra. Given the relatively small price gap I imagine the NXT sells a fair amount more than the WAV. £200 for an end pin! Ouch.
