[quote name='grossey' post='1287430' date='Jun 30 2011, 10:42 AM']Hi Chris, Do you have any plans or even thoughts regarding an "Original" (aka "C" bass) shaped model, a la Craig Adams? Always been my dream bass. Cheers[/quote] We do still build Original series basses and even C Basses, to order from time to time (we get both of Craig's back for service every now and again).. Two have gone over to the US recently - both to LA; one was an almost exact copy of the original C bass built for John Entwistle (now owned by Peter Hook), built for a bass playing West Coast music photographer called Elde Stewart and the other a fretless went to studio musician Peter Freeman (whos credits include Alanis Morissette and Nile Rodgers among others).. We are talking about introducing a 'Tanglewater' version - but probably not until at least next year.. But give me a call, if you're interested in one... Chris

Hi Guys Any ideas where I can get a decent case for my 3x10 that's not to heavy and won't break the bank. Cheers Laurence

And thank very much Keith for the loan it really sorted my sonic likes and dislikes. [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1236411' date='May 18 2011, 10:32 PM']Got it back today thanks Laurence.[/quote]

Hi Gareth It's actually my Realist into the Ten2 then DI'd to the FOH. I had my DPA4099B on my bass but the sound engineer said he didn't have time to EQ a mic as it was pretty quick turn around. While we are talking about live sounds what's the APT-FlexElectre like is better than the Realist.

Digging the tone of your bass too - is that direct from the pickup? Couldn't see any mic's on your bass or amp.[/quote]

Hope that helps. Cheers Laurence

Just wanted to let every one know about the above festival it's ran by Nick Weldon in Rushden Northamptonshire and is well worth attending if you have the time for details check www.jazzschool.co.uk I'm going to try and get there myself but I have gigs on Friday and 2 on Saturday up in Cumbria so it might be a bit difficult. There'll be some excellent players and teachers on hand. Cheers Laurence

Hi guys Here's a youtube of me playing with The Claude Werner Quartet at Gateshead International Jazz Festival last Saturday (March 26th 2011) with my new Acoustic Image Ten2 I really love it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xModdJ6xqI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xModdJ6xqI[/url] Please let me know what you think. Cheers Laurence

Hi Folks I desperately need a new 1x10 and tweeter for my Epi UL310 series 2, no idea what happened worked fine at the gigs over the weekend turned up to rehearsals tonight and both the top driver and tweeter are goosed any ideas where and how I can get replacements for Friday. Cheers Laurence

Interesting, I actually have an Evah Pirazzi E and A on at the moment and they sound fine but just wanted to try a couple of Weiches to see how they feel, both Charles Haden and Larry Greandier use really old Spiro's on the bottom it's more curiosity than anything else. I have had lengthy correspondence with Gerold Genssler a custom gut string maker from Berlin and really want to try his WRAPS but at 500 euros a go I really want to try them first, he's a great string maker and guarantee's the strings for 2 years. Cheers Laurence [quote name='marvin spangles' post='1114278' date='Feb 3 2011, 06:30 PM']Just Curious Lawrence. I have recently put on an Olive G and D with my old Mittles. The Mittles are a little underpowered by comparison on my bass. I would have thought the Weichs would be a little wimpy. Those Olives are great though. peter[/quote]

Hi Guys Has anyone out there got a really old set of Spirocre Weiches?, I'm after the E, A. D to match my old Olives I need a bit more punch and stability and know this would work on my bass. Cheers Laurence
