Yeah I can see the looks I'll get in Maplin's with my Northern Irish accent here in Edinburgh. "Gee us a bag 'a Ferric Chloride mucker!"

As it says above I have a couple of copper image etches (I've no idea if thats the correct name for it) that I'd like to have etched. I'd be willing to contribute to the cost of having it done - I'm thinking about getting a kit but was looking to give 'self building' a go first before buying a heap of gear to do the job. If anyone can help PM and I'll get in touch for a chat. Cheers G

So you got your mesa power amp after all? If you ever wanna pick up a monster of a power amp My Eden may well be up for sale. Its got loads of power right down to 2ohms So the Peavey is up for sale then?

Thanks for waiting. Nice guy and a smooth painless transaction. Thumbs, yup both of them, up! G

Another happy customer. Cheers Mike

+1 I'll echo what a couple of others have said in that try EQ and flats. Much cheaper than a whole new pick up! If you think of the wide range of players who use a Stingray they have very different versions of one core sound. It's either big and fat like Mr Edwards of up in your grill like Mr Flea. The strings will play a part along with technique plus there are some good comparison videos on youtube with round wounds and flats. comparetheflatwound.com

Legion? More like Legend Top guy and even though it wasn't as big as I thought it was it all worked out in the end! Oooooh Matron!

That hairy girl from The Magic Numbers had a really pleasing style [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29S51KSbiQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29S51KSbiQ...feature=related[/url]

My lady loaned me the cash to get a 5 string to try out - on the understanding that after a few months gigging with it and seeing if it worked I'd either sell it on and keep my 4 string or sell the 4 and keep the 5. So decision day came and she got all 'hurt' that I was selling the 5 (I'm guessing because she loaned me the cash and wanted to be a part of the my music side of my social life) yet she constantly complained when it was in the flat and referred to it as the beast. Funny how perception can be so different from the reality. Still for those of us that have been with our girlfriend, partner, bird etc etc I think we have an unspoken understanding that this is what we do and they suffer/enjoy accordingly On the plus side my lady is finishing a Masters so she enjoys the free time while I bang out the tunes. Win win as she is beautiful, understanding and intelligent!

All points taken - this was just a rough draft certainly on my part but I'll pass on the comments Cheers guys

Hey BC Brigade My old house mate found out her work buddy was a producer/hip hop nut who gave me this track to add some bass to. This is a rough sketch with a couple of timing issues *ahem* but I think its the final version Im gonna bounce back to him as my effort (once I have re-recorded it that is!) Before I do so I'd really appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Its been played on a P bass with the tone right off, flatwound strings and I was going for my idea of a '70's tone'. I have added some EQ via garageband for what I think is a punchy, yet fat, tone. I know the mix isn't that great but he'll be getting a raw file to add and mix down as he sees fit so from that aspect its not an issue - this is just a quick sketch. I felt the original track was repetitive, but not in a bad way - its a great track- so I wanted to try and create three distinct sections playing something different on each pass kinda thing- a riff, a solid line and then something with a bit of movement adding to the 'drama'........ Well either that and I just tried to be groovy Thanks in advance folks and don't mind the 70's pic's. I had to add something to make it a bit more interesting Plus its only available via this link for now as its a demo track.
