  1. Due to the high price of the original sennheiser attachement for the microphone clamp (MZA 421 44,- euro) I am looking for an alternative solution to fix the mic infront of my fridge. Do you have some recommendations, another mic clamp that will hold the Md421 or maybe another solution? I want to avoid using duck tape:) Thanks in advance guys
  2. There is no 'rule' for that i think, but if you want to create one, here is my experience. The tele made of ash is mostly heavier than alder, but this depends on what kind of ash is used. The 60s p i have held and own are really light, as well as the earlie 70 ones. Following the timeline in the 70s the basses get more heavy, but as i said before, there is no asolute rule about that. Against the myth, that a bass that weighs a ton has also a tone of a ton is not right. The best sounding basses i have heard are the light ones, They are more resonant. But to make my words senseless, i have heard also amazing basses which seem to be made of ironwood
  3. Here you have number 487, located in germany. This amp is my soundhome, best amp i have ever heard and my vintage fender basses Deliver the sound i was always dreaming of.

  12. Honestly, i do not play fretless very much the last months and as i also got that beautiful maple neck precision fretless (some may remember), this beauty is up for a trade. The bass plays like a dream, especially the neck is absolutely beautiful, you will see on the pictures. This is what a precision fretless shoukld sound like. She has one [s]dong[/s]` blemish ( ) , except from this, she is in a pretty mint condition. I tried to photograph all details, if you want to see anything else than this, just let me know. Comes with a Fender gigbag.Serial says 1977/78. This bass is absolutely stunning, I think the pictures speak for themselves.
  13. In my oppinion it is not a fender body, the typical wood points at the back are missing
  14. ...really interesting. Bongos review is highly anticipated
  15. As a Rack unit i love the rane dc24, i think this is the best comp i played. But i changed my amp from rack to tube. As a pedal i love the demeter compulator but changed this one to markbass compressore tube comp pedal, Really nice and everything you need in my oppinion.
  16. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1328031633' post='1520627'] I had a Roscoe Beck. Best fiver I've ever owned or played. [/quote] Those basses are awesome and versatile as hell, i love the rb5
  17. powerbass are good strings but too expensive, you get same quality strings for less
  18. [quote name='spiderjazz' timestamp='1328136580' post='1522645'] I assume you're talking about a cable tie [url="http://www.manufacturer.com/cimages/product/www.alibaba.com/0320/u/11321041_Cable_Tie.jpg"]http://www.manufacturer.com/cimages/product/www.alibaba.com/0320/u/11321041_Cable_Tie.jpg[/url] I should have the retainer by next week and I'll let people know how it goes! [/quote] yes this is the one. of course you cannot change the tension of bass strings with a string retainer, but we had a collection of several roscor beck5, which only had a string retainer for the last 3 strings. but one did add a string retainer for b and e string and the effect was really good, as the bass had absolutely more punch added, than all the other rb5's. after that meeting all the guys switched to a string retainer for b and e. nevertheless, dr lorider steel are really good strings for what you are looking for. you may also should consider flats
  19. I really do not know the english word for it, but you may try a cable binder and test if more pressure on the lowend strings and nut will bring you success
  20. Try a marcus miller 5 string string retainer, or like those on the roscoe beck V. This will help the sound a lot
  21. I like the sound of TI but the low tension is difficult and i prefer more tension. Chromes are missing some mids which i love to hear, someone says he pressumes eb flats are chromes in a different package, I think they changed their production, the first ones had more midrange and the newer eb flats are really similar to chromes in my oppinion. For my sound i prefer most la bella flats, they have the lowend, the mids and fit perfect in context. You may check also d'angelico smooth rounds, these are mostly halfrounds soundwise but feel like flats, they sound really nice and would be a pretty good step towards flatwounds from rounds
  22. After the informations that have been provided by a great bc member, this isn't the first time that sean dealt with that kind of style. One bc member told me of a deal where sean tried to fool him with the amount of money he handed over. Additional to this, he sold car parts/items, took the money but didn't ship the sold items..so this one is a parallel story. Seems that i bought a bass from the wrong guy
