  1. Thanks for those links, gents. It's definately the split shaft that I'm after though. The old SB knob wont fit otherwise. I'll contact Mr East. Thanks for the suggestion. Bests
  2. Looking to replace a stacked tone / volume pot on my Aria SB. I've looked on all the guitar part websites but I can find one anywhere. It's a 500k / 500k stacked pot with a split shaft. Does anyone know where I can find one?

  4. Thanks men. No strict voodoo with that then. My envelope filter arrives today, so I'll get it all set up tonight and annoy the missus with my experiments in funk and distortion ..... yeahhhhh!
  5. muchos gracias!
  6. I'm looking to replace a broken two-way dual sound switch on my Aria SB-900, but not being the most technically minded bassist I just want to check that I'm not barking up the wrong tree before I go and buy something. This is what I think I need ([b]please[/b] [b]correct me if I'm wrong[/b]) ... [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/electronics/switches/mini-switch-dpdt-on-on-2-p-4055.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/electronics/switches/mini-switch-dpdt-on-on-2-p-4055.html[/url] Obviously, I need a switch that works, but also, I'm keen on retaining the original aesthetic of the bass, so the switch has to look the same as the one that's coming out. The photo's on that allparts page are a bit blurry and I can't tell whether the visible part of the switch has the square profile of the original (if it isn't, where can I get one?). Attached are photos of a switch like the one that I need to replace. it has 6 pins on the back. Advice is appreciated Ta [attachment=107484:IMG_0029.JPG] [attachment=107486:IMG_0031.JPG]
  7. Looking for an answer here as to what would be the best sequence in which to link my pedals, and why? I'll be using ... Trace Elliot SMX dual compressor MXR M82 bass envelope filter Marshall shredmaster distortion I haven't used effects before, so I'm pretty clueless on the subject. Any of your gems of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated. Ta.
  8. This is an excellent bit of gear. I swear by my MB150. So clean, versatile, and surprising LARGE for a wee combo. Good luck with the sale.

    Hmmmm, trying to figure out which model it is. It looks like a pro 2 in the guys profile photo. Does it have a maple neck? What wood is the body made from?

  15. Somebody please buy this amazing bass at a ridiculously good price so that it can torment me no longer bump.
  16. As everyone has pointed out, acoustic bass has limitations in band, live, jamming, situations. However, use it for what it's great for and you'll love it. Solo practice, or just twiddling around aimlessly, I find that having an acoustic bass inspires me to play more. No faff, and you can play it anywhere. I've always had fretless acoustics with flat-wounds, so the experience very different to my thumb bass. I love them.
  17. It's a good thing ... to have a bass that you can't set your eyes on without picking it up to play. It's kind of like having an uber-foxy woman that you've got the horn for ... erm, kinda. I've got a Warwick Thumb NT4. I love everything about it ... the beauty of the woods, their colour, texture, and tone. At once classy, refined and perfectly balanced. Bubinga, ovankol and wenge contrasted by the black hardware and brass of the frets, complimenting the form of the bass; smooth, amorphous, and tactile. Reassuringly solid. Aye, not a twig which snaps in the wind, is the Thumb bass ... then the sound ... growly, punchy, and compact, yet will sing in many another voice ... if you want it to. yehhhhhh!
  18. Check this out ... the Roland Bass Micro cube. Battery powered 4X4" combo ... [url="http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=940"]http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=940[/url]
  19. Hi there. I play a Warwick Thumb Bass NT, upon which there is evidence of some shrinkage between the bubinga and ovankol woods of the neck-through-body construction. I've owned the bass since 2006, this was the case when I bought it and it hasn't worsened any since then. The shrinkage is minimal. It can only just be felt so it's not big deal. I was wondering though, in the interests of being fussy ... If I was to attempt to remedy the situation and sand this smooth, how best would I regain the finish that is natural to a thumb bass? Has anyone else had this problem and attemted to sort it? Thanks E
  20. Absolute sexual chocolate ... Alas, I can't afford such a lovely lovely bass.
  21. if this was a four string fretless I'd bite your hand off for it bump
  22. Has anyone here ever had a luthier change a fingerboard on their bass? If so, who did you get to perform the voodoo? Were you pleased with the results? How much did it cost you? I'm considering changing the fretted wenge plank on my thumb bass for a fretless ebony number ... that said, how do you think that a lined wenge board would cope/ feel ... it's pretty grainy. just tossing around ideas really. I might just buy a fretless. Any input would be appreciated.
  23. C'mon, I got three weeks left in the country. Buy this beast!
  24. get some phat cabbage for low cashola BuMp
