I haven't gigged with a 4-string for about 5 years now.

My Status S1 fiver cost me 400 quid on fleaBay, and is worth every single ha'penny. Bargain

Brad Paisley, 'Start A Band'. Yee-haw.

"and your point is....?".[/quote]
To which I, if I had been Taylor, would have replied: "You make me pay your f'ing tax and then you want [i]me[/i] to carry [i]your[/i] f'ing bass? You've gotta be joking". As indeed he did say.

It's on the way!

I agree with what's being said about the Barts. The Sei I had for a while was Barted, and they were pretty crap to be honest: like yours, the bass sounded wonderfully lively when played acoustically, and the piezo bridge sound suggested that the bass should have sounded stunning, but when the Barts were dialled in it just went [i]bleh[/i]. If I'd kept the Sei, the Barts would have quickly gone. So yes, I reckon it's yer pups.
Might it be possible to test the theory out by temporarily fitting something else -- anything really, even if it doesn't fill the cavity properly -- and seeing what happens to the sound? If it changes dramatically, you'll know. Martin P's definitely the guy to go to.

I've still got this. C'mon, surely somebody must want a read. It's bloody funny and well worth the £0.00 it'll cost you!

It's [b]Camac[/b], apparently

Loads of stuff on random play. Currently playing Rascal Flatts' "Life Is A Highway".

Blimey. Seven posts into this thread and nobody has yet said "political correctness" or tried to blame it on Gordon Brown. This must be some sort of record.

The SM900 is a great amp, I had one and loved it, BUT it weighs over twice as much as your 400...

Bumpy price-droppy thing.

[quote name='spinynorman' post='741884' date='Feb 11 2010, 11:48 AM']There's a Youtube clip of a live version of Dylan's "It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry". There's a ton of high profile performers on stage, like Clapton, Tom Petty etc. About half way down the comments there's this:

"Why do they let that idiot sing? There's ten people on the stage could sing it better than that."

Next comment "That's Bob Dylan".

"Oh sorry, didn't recognise him. I'm only 12."

(actually he said, I'm only young.)[/quote]


This is comedy gold. Love it.

Pup and tuners sold. Bridge still available.

Fairly standard Fender-esque bent bit of tin. In unused condition, no rust or tarnishing of any sort. Now £3.50 posted.

This is the Golden Truth.

Amy MacDonald, 'Mr Rock'n'Roll'

This is a big, bbbbig favourite of mine.

SD Curlee, blimey there's a name from the past alright. I remember trying one once, it had two P pups if I remember correctly and was Stanley-Clarke-Alembic in shape. Crap balance but sounded pretty brutal.

LOVE that drum track, one of my favourites. So simple, yet perfect.

Stuart, I'm going to shift this to the Bass Guitars section as it's a pretty specific question.

The best ABG I have ever played by a mile was the Washburn AB34. Great upper fret access, lovely fast neck, really comfortable. Discontinued. Damn.

Headstock spoils it for me.

Enough already. This is well past silly.
