Very nice

Update: the Cobelens has gone back to its makers (they're building a new one for me and needed the electronics and hardware of this one) and I've sold the TRB5 to afford a car. So, now I have this: Around Christmas I will be owning my new Cobelens & de Bruyne ánd I'm about to buy a Squier CV Jazz Oh, and the Squier got a Fender Original Precision Pickup, and the Blade got Nordstrand NJ4s.

My B2 is lighter, I think. About 8.

The first one is accessible again!

Yes, part 2! [url="http://www.hidderoorda.nl/the%20bass%20orchestra.mp3"]CLICK[/url] Basses used: Yamaha TRB5II and Fender fretless Jazz Bass. Effects used: Dalgic Muzik Small Tone (Small Stone copy) and Boss CE-2B.

That's it?

No, it slows down... That's the weird thing. I've found a name on the PCB: "Dagic Muzik".

Nope... I've just tried it out "fa real" and, when actually switched on, it doesn't sound half bad. It's the switching that's crooked. It sounds a bit like a car starting.

I bought a phaser pedal second hand, assuming that it was a Russian EHX Small Stone. The seller had posted a picture of one in his ad, and the title of the ad was "small tone". I thought that was a typo, because the rest of the ad was very badly written as well... I received it today, and it turned out to be anything but a Russian Small Stone. It's a brandless phaser pedal called a "Small Tone". It works, sort of... The pots are rusted, the casing isn't what it used to be, one of the pots doesn't seem to work at all, the switch is cranky, the phaser makes some weird sounds that don't belong there when I turn it on, the inside is a mess, the PCB isn't attached to the casing but loose inside... It has an EHX power supply input, that's weird as well... It looks like this: Does anyone know what it is?

I once owned this. It was way too good for its price. I sold it to afford my Cobelens & de Bruyne custom bass. I want one again! So my bass of the day is a Blade B1. Availability second hand: none.

The new demo is done!!! Check out the tracks on [url="http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass"]http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass[/url] They're called Open Your Mind and Everything.

I've just ordered a set of Nordstrand NJ4s!!

Nobody?

We, as in Nona and her band, have been playing for about a year now and there is some live stuff on YouTube that I wanted to share with you guys I do some of the writing, of course the bass part and backing vocals. In chronological order: I wonder what you think of it! Our new EP is also done!!! Check it out on [b]http://www.myspace.com/hidderoordabass[/b]!!

I want to have some new pickups for my Blade B2 Tetra Jazz: It's a great bass already, but I am still a bit unsatisfied about the sound. I've replaced the preamp already (it's equipped with an Aguilar OBP-1) and now it's time for the pickups. I'm looking for the really good stuff. A vintage tone with enough punch and width, I'll do the rest with the preamp. I've thought of a couple of options: [b]Nordstrand NJ4[/b] + Good stories - Really expensive [b]Fender Custom Shop 60's[/b] + They sound great in my Fender fretless Jazz and they're cheap - Don't know how they'll sound in a fretted bass [b]Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups[/b] + Noiseless - Don't know the sound [b]Lindy Fralin[/b] + My favourite Dutch luthier loves them, they sound great in my Celinder - Expensive Am I missing something, do you guys have other/better options?

You are right about that... It looks good like this, but I think it's rather boring and I think it would look even better with a translucent colour...
