pitchblack plus , for me. true bypass, accurate to 1 cent, open tunings , chromatic etc, plus 4 programmable ones. best thing is its also an A/B switch for 2 insruments, tunings assignable to either or both.

looking for a Full Circle pickup, get in touch if you have one to move on .. Thanks

whatever else you try nothing will work like the Pro plat 2. cut the crap , save your money and just buy one . I wish somebody gave me that advice

early Ramones, just for the sheer energy.

look for his 1956 / 57 recordings, Cliff Gallup on guitar, Jeff Becks hero. Vincent would nt have been heard of if not for the band on that early stuff...

well past his prime on this , but how could he ever top those first 2 albums..!

i use mine as a fanny magnet....

line 6 is just ad good for bass , as it is on guitar. dont hesitate. Im sure lots of others will agree.

square on, not like saddles on a bass guitar, forget all about bass guitars, they will soon become a distant memory...

looking side on, the back of the bridge should be at right angles to the bass top, that means the front of the bridge slopes backwards.

position the bridge so the Back edge of the G foot is halfway over the soundpost, thats a better guide than the notches

try the bass side paddle only, let the other dangle, quite a few Underwood users do this, there can be phasing issues between the two pickups wjich may thin the sound out, not a sure fire sound improvement , but may help

b&q

cut strips of card and fold it over into squares, like a concertina (?). only shim one side of paddles. the thickness of a piece of a puece if paper can make the difference between a good sound or not.

the shadow nanoflex is pretty uninspiring from hearing it on a friends bass. Under leg pickups wont give as direct a sound as wing slot types, Rev Solos work best for me , and not too expensive. Piezos like a bit of pressure on them to work best so clip on or stick on ones arent very sucsessful. Aim for an airtight fit in the wing ones,ie all faces parallel, it will help wih feedback issues.

and Mike Nesmiths mum invented Tipex, making a fortune!

been in very similar situation, turns out the agent fell out with venue and was trying to use bands for his own ends. Dont be used, ditch the agent.

anybody know where my car keys are ??

After reading all this thread again I feel sorry for Pete now, so much conflicting info!!

check the for sales. Ceilhidswingers bass is spot on

go for it. I started out with a set if Clef guts from Upton and only have the E left now . All have been replaced with Lenzners and theres no difference at all. The Global Guts from India are a lot quieter than the Lenzner or Clef so dont mix and match those.

i think thats the general opinion. i understand that laminates are less prone to feedback when amplified, although I have no proof as Ive only owned laminates myself.

dont forget that if you intend to amplify said bass it may not have to sound world class acoustically. IMHO a laminate bass would suit your needs fine, where as a superior sounding solid built bass is necessary for orchestral work

theres a shop in Beeston , Nottingham , cant remember name , that has a good reputation, or David Vernons in Manchester.
