Looks awesome & an amazing story to what I am sure will be a popular thread.

sounds like earthing to me. I had the same thing on my 80s P-bass and sorted it with copper tape. It's perfect now

[quote name='crez5150' post='677792' date='Dec 8 2009, 12:47 PM']Tried one of these which was pretty good - [url="http://purple-chili.com/bass-cabs/pcb410t.htm"]Purple-chili[/url] 23.5Kg[/quote] I was curious about this too. The review in the Bass Magazine (of a different model, mind) wasn't quite so good but I wondered if a different speaker configuration like 4x10 would sort that

Mine is probably the worst looking in some eyes but has a certain retro charm

I made a point of naming my basses in the early 90s but it always felt a bit awkward. It was only the other day when my wife referred to my original p bass as "Sid" (as in vicious) that I even remembered. I never felt a he or she thing with an instrument but whatever gets you through the night, I guess

I hope to see Jake in the new year - sorry I've been slack on the pm Jake but this chemo has been an energy sapper! Well up for seeing you & be in touch

I think you need to talk about levels. I haven't had this in my last few bands but when I was playing more straight rock stuff it was a common problem. Guitar tube amps sound great when they are cranked but not to the point that the band is too loud. It's about finding that balance

Nice collection. Your Columbus reminds me of my early 70s Antoria

Yes but not for a while. This is my hobby so I have the rule I have to enjoy it. If it's a big issue you may have to address it but if you can tolerate him than it's no issue

I'm no expert but I would have thought that is quite good. You would pay more for a full blown refinish

I've usually found GAK to be pretty good but that said I have taken to phoning ahead these days if ever I'm in a hurry. I know it defeats the point but that's what happens when you've had your fingers burned in the past. Personally on stuff like strings I prefer buying from my local shop. You pay a bit more but they are there for the emergencies. I'd probably cancel the order on this occasion

I ordered it last night so I'll let you know in a couple of days

Pretty much as the thread says really. I know there was some excitement around the tiny terror heads but these little combos look like fun for those on a budget.

I bought on looks, I'm sure it's hideously overpriced in some eyes but it just screamed retro cool to me

Some great shots of some great looking gear - welcome to Basschat

I was admiring the Area 51 pup online just yesterday. Can't say I've heard it but it looks awesome. Happy to be proven wrong but the SD pups are really good and I do wonder whether the difference would be worth the cost - or even if there is that big a difference? I tend to favour the SPB-1 and the Antiquity pups for my playing though (although I am familar with the SPB-3).

I too lean towards the amp. If the bass is a set up away from being nore to your tastes then sort the amp. Plus you can sell your current one on to make cash

I have the same head, 1978 model. Been looking to get a small cab myself to modify - very cool

I'd love one but the problem is that I bagged my Ampeg 1x15 for a mere £100 (thanks BC) so it's finding a similar good deal.

I like it a lot, especially the subtle Star Wars touch

A couple of references to the 50s classic but worth remebering this is not a standard MIM bass. Expect to pay more & expect a similar jump in quality like what you get with a standard Squier & a VM Squier. I really rate them but not everyone likes the traditional feel

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='675425' date='Dec 6 2009, 05:57 AM']So why contribute to a thread entitled: "post your pedalboard?" It might be the sleep deprivation and accompanying paranoia but that seems intentionally antagonizing. I don't surf, but I wouldn't go on a surfing forum and tell them all how pointless their surfboards are.[/quote] I'm certainly not criticising other players at all. I like effects but keep it simple myself. I think you are reading too much into this. I'm probably posting a lot more at the moment to keep my mind from the treatment (chemotheraphy) I'm going through at the moment, not looking to pick fights. Some great looking set ups here. Peace

With these basses, i can do anything. 2007 Mexi Classic 50's Precision White Blonde. 1983 'SQ' Prefix Squier Japan Precision (Badass II Bridge) 3 Colour Sunburst. 2007 Japan PB62 in Old Lake Placid Blue.[/quote] Great looking basses Andy

I found it mildly annoying when I had a few messages when looking for a bass but generally it's all much more preferable to getting loads of spam. I just go and refresh the new posts and look at those whilst I wait
