Cheeeeeeese city! Si

In addition to what has been said above: The Warmoth necks do seem to have a lot more about their construction, in that they are steel bar reinforced with two way truss rods etc. As a result they're apparently quite heavy, so bear that in mind! I've got an Allparts Jazz neck on my Precision bass, very nice, pretty skinny, thinner at the nut than my Fender US Jazz. But a perfect fit into the neck pocket of the Encore body! Si

Yeah I know what you mean. Incredibly busy front wood, then boring as hell fingerboard/neck/main body! Quite odd! I'm not feeling it! Si

I much prefer a DI'd sound than a mic'd sound And I take an interest into what my bass sounds like out front one way or another! And when I'm playing covers shows, we're doing the sound onstage! Si

Si

The control cavity on my Encore bodied Precision 'parts' bass is tiny. The original pots were 'mini' pots, but they were knackered! I got replacement mini-pots from Allparts, and I'm pretty sure they came with all the 'mounting hardware', nuts & washers etc! Si

[quote name='Protium' post='333532' date='Nov 20 2008, 11:21 PM']DON'T GO THERE! [/quote] I hear you lol But my question doesn't concern matching volumes to avoid clipping etc I'm talking about the volume of the DI out. Has the DI got one set volume, bypassing the master, or does changing the level 'onstage' affect the DI volume? Si

Can anyone put up a full review, you know, really put it through it's paces! I'm interested in one of LH500 as a backup. I'm mostly interested in what peoples expereinces are of using it onstage DI'd into a PA, the only reason I ask is because my Ashdown ABM has an input volume and an output volume (i know this has been discussed in this thread already). But with this I'm able to set the volume going to the PA, and then my onstage volume seperately, which is extremely helpful. How does the Hartke compare? only having one volume etc. Cheers Si

Glad others are catching on! I've been into Bona for a good few years now, ever since Reverence came out! A beautiful musician and a stunning human being! A genuine inspiration, not just for my bass playing, but just how to generally 'be'. This picture is from the Jazz Cafe gig last year (yup, before I cut my hair off ) Si

I might be getting hold of a Mayones 'Jabba' (their Jazz-alike) for review exclusively on BassChat. I'm still working out some details about it, but fingers crossed! One of my guitarists in FSOF may be getting a guitar from them, I'd love to buy the Jabba they offered me, but the coffers are empty! Si

Hmmmm, seriously interested in the LH500 as a backup to my ABM500, or perhaps splash out on the LH1000 as a new main amp! Gotta love headroom! Si

Cover shows edit Si

Tis beautiful! I want it, tis from my birth year and everything! Si

So am I right in thinking that the pickup is a guitar pickup? How does that sound?....seeing as it's a bass? lol Si

Thank-you everyone for your offers! I've now sorted something, certainly for this weekend anyway! You're all lovely people and may you receive many sweets and goodies for your good karma haha Si

Newtone Strings in Derby would have hooked you up no problem I'm sure! Si

Thanks a lot guys! I'll bear both of them in mind! Si

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='327334' date='Nov 12 2008, 09:48 AM']If you had put this up earlier I would have posted you a head but I can't go home now and I'm going straight to Portsmouth from work, good luck buddy.[/quote] No problem, thanks for the offer Wayne Si

[quote name='johnnylager' post='327330' date='Nov 12 2008, 09:43 AM']500w ABM EVOII 2x10 combo + 2x10 extension in Brighton if your really stuffed, but the price of petrol nowadays, it'd be cheaper to get a new head than drive down here twice![/quote] You're probably right mate! But thanks a lot for the offer, as they say, it's the thought that counts and I'm very appreciative! Si
