[quote name='BassManKev' post='286760' date='Sep 18 2008, 05:42 PM']BADASS bridge ftw, that looks fantastic spree[/quote] ta kev sunset to your blue dawn?

[quote name='budget bassist' post='286758' date='Sep 18 2008, 05:37 PM']Oh wow that looks really nice! And there should be a decent enough cavity, it fits an active musicman preamp in it, which is pretty hefty and there's a battery compartment on the back so it should be fine. Although the preamp i may be getting is 18V so i'll have to make that route even bigger and buy a double battery compartment. By the way, where did you get the side jack plate for that OLP? I have one but it's a bit big.[/quote] thanks much, and you ou7shined found another, better bridge pic when i was routing for mine i was always worried about going over into the pup cavity (olp one is HUGE) I think the side jack came from axesrus, but it was flat, so took bit of persuading to curve to the edge of the body, though they also have curve elliptical ones which looked like they would have worked better in hindsight

as promised

[quote name='budget bassist' post='286747' date='Sep 18 2008, 05:22 PM']I'm pretty happy with the bridge now i think, i don't think a badass would quite look right. Also what do you want to know about the control cavity? pics of your project?[/quote] is there much of a control cavity is my only query, I had an absolute whore of a time fitting an East pre into the (passive) OLP cavity, lots of routing and swearing and its still not quite right. pics coming right up!

only just come across this thread, looks good! I did something similar not too long ago with an OLP body and stingray neck and added a Jazz pup to it If youre not overly happy with the bridge arrangement its worth bearing in mind that a badass III will fit on quite nicely, though the anchor bolts might be in the way a lil bit. Whats the control cavity like on the SUB?

anyone got the specs?

does anyone have the dimensions on the space [i]under[/i] the pedaltrains? ie where the power supply would sit? Would they take a diago, a four plug extension and a wall wart type 12v psu?

[quote name='Toasted' post='270920' date='Aug 27 2008, 12:43 PM']I can't believe that people aren't seeing the value in pedal trains. They're such a superior product. A relative bargin.[/quote] are they the angled boards with space beneath for power supplies etc?

[quote name='BassManKev' post='270822' date='Aug 27 2008, 10:32 AM']are you familiar with the word 'copy'?[/quote] ahem, theyre all copies of Flea's bass if you want to be THAT pedantic, but you said modulus. And also where did you find anything with a graphite neck for £189? This isnt sarcasm, I'm genuinely interested

[quote name='BassManKev' post='270627' date='Aug 26 2008, 10:47 PM']i could never justify that kind of money for a pedal board, but hey if your well off go for it! but if i had the choice of buying a pedal board or a modulus flea copy with graphite neck, its a bit of a no brainer for me really... all IMO of course [/quote] where have you found a flea bass for £189?!?!

[quote name='Muse_Cubed' post='262979' date='Aug 15 2008, 11:27 AM']I might try one of these out in a shop to see how it compares to my Black Russian Muff. The one I've got now used to work great with my Pedulla (blended with LS-2) but ever since I got my Warwick (which has a much higher output) and boosted my Pedulla's signal to match it, it's been a little more temperamental. So I may try this out in shop to see how it works.[/quote] i like my black russian too, has a tone i cant easily find with my zoom fuzz, would an impedance buffer solve your problem? think Toasted was building them a while ago

Anyone had a crack at one of these yet? [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/37699"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/37699[/url]

[quote name='barry44' post='260029' date='Aug 11 2008, 03:09 PM']it is the Padauk/Mahogany sandwich and is the most luvverly bass i own, which makes this problem all the worse!! yeah the new one is solid mahogany with a black stain and a maple/walnut neck, i much prefer the one i have, tis gorgeous!! [/quote] gorgeous indeed formerly mine gorgeous!!!

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='256536' date='Aug 6 2008, 05:48 PM']i would have thought that you should be able to get the same tones out of your K5 as i can from my SR 500. put you tone controls on their center dents and tweek it from there, cutting the mids completely will loose you in the mix. the K5 may be voiced slightly deeper than the SR 500 so you should be careful of the bass pot as it is quite strong. i like the natural sound of mine btu can tweek it to get loads of tones. feldy's tone is to loose the mid completely but he does tend to dissappear in the mix. mids are your friend.[/quote] i think the EQ in the SR500 is different to the system in the K5? [quote name='geilerbass' post='259944' date='Aug 11 2008, 01:35 PM']Glad to hear you're getting some success - it's really a trial and error thing and different situations will often require different settings, dependant on the acoustics and set-up of the situation. I'm a huge fan of Ibanez necks - the K5 does play amazingly, nearly as nicely as my SR20th . Seriously, the K5 is an awesome bass for the money. Do you have one of the older ones with the Padauk/Mahogany body or the newer one, with just Mahogany in the body?[/quote] If its the bass previously owned by Rayman then the body is the Padauk/Mahogany sandwich, is the newer one really Mahogany alone? lordy

i've always found my black russian more wooly than out and out fuzzy, definitely not a lot of grit on offer, if you can, find a zoom uf-01 ultrafuzz, plenty of grit to be found in there, along with a load of other variations too!!
