[quote name='Grissle' post='581943' date='Aug 26 2009, 09:58 PM']That is a Beauty of a Beastie mate[/quote] Thanks. From where you live you may have heard of Regenerate already - guy lives in WA - near Seattle I believe. Short flight and prob less than a day's drive from you I would think (my geography's a bit suspect though...). He's a really nice guy and loves what he does. If you want more info you might want to check out his website (link in the OP). Andy

Hey guys. Just an update to let you know I haven't forgotten about doing this stuff. I think it will be easiest to use PM's to send it to you - that way other people won't have to wade through it, and we can hopefully avoid cheap shots of the 'well it's all Greek to me...' variety. Perhaps we could use the thread to discuss matters arising. Just a thought... Andy p.s. For the benefit of those who are reading this and feeling slightly baffled, a thread appeared a little while ago on the subject of modes. I have studied the ancient Greeks (who gave their name to the modes) and their music in some depth, and offered to give others a bit of an insight. Several people accepted the offer and now here we are. If you would like to have your name added to the mailing list then please PM me, but be warned that it's kind of technical. First mailing will cover some background issues - Instruments, musicians, language issues, etc. I'll try to send stuff around once every couple of weeks from there and we'll see how it goes.

Bass amp with a remote so I don't have to get off my a*se to adjust the volume (usually upwards) when I'm practising at home. Or has somebody done that already?

Me too. Always keen to learn something new.

Produced a teenage 3piece band doing a festival in Germany a few years ago - bass player plugged into a D.I. box...

I think there would be a lot of frustrating times in between though.[/quote] Dave Marks has an excellent YouTube video on pretty much exactly this topic: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df0sFG7FqSQ"]Youtube vid[/url]

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='579923' date='Aug 25 2009, 10:16 AM']doesn't posting about pming sort of contradict the point of a PM in the first place? Well whatever, that's a really lovely bass, i love jazz style basses with maple fretboards. Also liking the Peanut Butter and Jelly rig behind too [/quote] Thanks. PJB is amazing - I've got 3 different models from the range, depending on the gig. This thing pumps out volume at a level you wouldn't believe from looking at the speaker cones! - 300 watts of pure HiFi bass tone. Regenerate is a remarkable instrument. Got change from $2000, plus I brought it back from holiday so didn't pay transit or customs!

[quote name='whynot' post='579538' date='Aug 24 2009, 08:50 PM']PMd Andy.[/quote] And back..

[quote name='whynot' post='579349' date='Aug 24 2009, 06:28 PM']Lovely looking bass there Andy.[/quote] Cheers Alan. You wanna give it a go? If you're still up to buy back the SEI I can bring it with me when I come down. I'd value your opinion.

Recently came back from a holiday in the USA toting this little beastie. Made by Regenerate Guitar Works in the Seattle area (which is actually one guy by the name of Rod Banuch). I'm pretty sure it's the first one to be seen in the UK. Produced in tiny numbers, mostly made to order and normally with about a 4 month waiting list (which looks set to get longer if this is anything to go by!). This was one of two instruments he had in stock when I enquired. Pickups (Big Singles) and preamp are Norstrand items - actually the preamp has a clever little featurette: passive mode is a true bypass circuit complete with its own tone control, so if you want you can use it in passive mode and have it behave more or less exactly the way a passive Fender would (pickup blend rather than separate vols). His website address is [url="http://www.regenerateguitarworks.com"]HERE[/url] Here's a few pics - if you want more info click the Regenerate link above - it was still available to view last time I looked.

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='574598' date='Aug 19 2009, 07:12 PM'] [/quote] Hello again! Glad to see you haven't allowed the beastie boys to put you off. Good for you!

Traded my '84 Wal for his '77 jazz. Great deal - easy to deal with & a really nice guy - highly recommended!

Brilliant! Practical science at it's very best.

Got mine the other day in a very fetching shade of crimson. Excellent!
