    [quote name='Tait' post='744126' date='Feb 13 2010, 04:41 PM']its not to do with width of the BADASS, its just BADASSs are very long, they usually go down very close to the edge of the bass, so there isn\'t enough room for an ashtray. depending on the model, i think your hipshot should be ok with an ashtray, but i can\'t say i\'ve ever tried it, and i don\'t know exactly which bridge you\'re using, so its a very big \"i think\".[/quote] I got the cover & as you say it's the length but the width as well. I've only positioned it for trial & it's a tight push to get it down so that it covers the bottom end, but can't go too far or the 'ears' will be over the contoured edge. BTW it's a '51P ri MIJ Sorry - first 2 pics the same & can't seem to delete 1?

    Bump for the weekend [quote name='KiOgon' post='739113' date='Feb 8 2010, 04:55 PM']All because I've gone back to black & flat, where I started from many years ago 1 - Rotosound Nexus NXB45, Black coated Type 52 alloy, 45,65,85,105 - £15 off Skjold, 35" scale, 2 a side tuners, used maybe 3or4 hours. 2 - Rotosound Nexus NXB45, Black coated Type 52 alloy, 45,65,85,105 - £15 off Traben Neo, 34" scale, 2 a side tuners, used maybe 1or2 hours. 3 - Fender 9050L Stainless Steel Flatwound, 45,60,80,95 - £10 off Tanglewood Electro Acoustic, 34" scale 2 a side tuners, again only a couple of hours use. All above, carefully removed, cleaned & repacked in original packaging, obviously loads of life left & ideal if you want to try these strings on the cheap! I always leave plenty on my strings for a minimum of 3 wraps around the pegs but obviously the G strings in particular probably won't be long enough for 4 a side heads. 4 - Rotosound SM66N, Swing Bass Nickel Roundwound, 40,60,80,100 - £12 Brand new never taken out of packet. 5 - Ernie Ball Strap Black Webbing with Leather ends + fitted Boston Straplocks black, with posts & screws - £12 As new, not used. All prices include posting in a jiffy bag, UK. Please feel free to ask any questions. Cheers, John[/quote]

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='742899' date='Feb 12 2010, 10:58 AM']I had a Badass on mine and it definitely sounded better but I wanted ashtrays and they don't fit over a Badass.[/quote] DOH! Now you tell me I've just ordered one to try exactly that! Edit: Whoops - just looked - mines a Hipshot & it looks even wider than a BA

    Well - - I might - - - If it wasn't for the buckle rash, some of the worst I've seen, looks almost as if someone has scratched their name on Different, nice, but a lot of dosh for a slapper

    [quote name='Jamesemt' post='740751' date='Feb 10 2010, 10:51 AM']In my constant down sizing/weight reduction I bought a Genz Shuttle 3 10 combo. Quite loud but not quite loud enough (and really toppy). Decided to buy a small 2x10 cab to release the full 300 watts. The Ampeg is the smallest, lightest, cheapest, quality cab I could find, and so far it's great. 26lb (two finger lift )and adds loads of punch to the Shuttle with a really distinctive scooped low end. I've never played through a proper fridge, but I'm presuming this hints at what they sound like. Can't go wrong for £250 and it looks great!! It's here if anyone is interested: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ampeg-SVT210AV~id~8876.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...0AV~id~8876.asp[/url][/quote] Good to hear you're liking it, I've been looking at one to go with my Little Bastard (if they ever make 'em, another story!) Don't suppose you've tried it against a decent 1x12?

    [quote name='spaners' post='740532' date='Feb 10 2010, 12:43 AM']Hi Funny i was thinking about doing the same as i have a little bastard on order too. Had a mail from lee at ashdown today telling me they will be releasing a cab for the little bastard too It is a 2x12 and looks stunning i have a pic so if you want to see one just mail me also some pics from usa namm here mehttp://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=485143&page=12[/quote] Hi spaners, The long wait is not helped by the lack of information from Ashdown. I got email over a month ago - 05/01/10 about the 2x12 cab promising spec to follow but nothing yet. I've seen their picture of 'The Little Bastard Rig' is that the cab you're referring to? TBH the thought of a 2x12 cab just to handle a 30 Watt amp is almost as annoying as their advertising line -"The Little Bastard head partners perfectly with a range of Ashdown US Series cabinets". "US Series" - with the smallest a 500 Watt 1x15 going up to a 1600 Watt 8x10, I wonder how many of them a 30 Watt tube amp will 'drive'? I've been meaning to email Ashdown again, I will now.

    The little black & silver sticker on the neck plate, with a X through a wheelie bin? Seriously - if you're offered a 19?? guitar with "all genuine parts" & it has that sticker on it The one that to me means either; 1. Don't dispose of batteries in a wheelie bin! or 2. Don't force this guitar into a wheelie bin! or 3. Don't play your guitar in a wheelie bin! or 4. Don't let your guitar mate with a wheelie bin! - - - - - there must be plenty more 2nd Question; If it means '1. above' - Why do they fit them stickers on passive guitars? Cheers, John

    "Just having a bit of a shuffle round and fancy trying a new bass, it\'s the only thing I have at the moment so I\'d prefer a trade. Looking for something active with a narrow neck which can hopefully do a precision sound as well as a variety of other sounds?" Hows about a Traben Neo Limited - 4 string spalted maple burst + black hardware - does everything you could possibly want & looks good! Cheers, John

    [quote name='Riddler' post='721931' date='Jan 23 2010, 09:05 AM']Hi Zack Welcome to Basschat. That's a lovely bass, but how much is $1350 is £'s I presume the dollar exchange rate is doing us no favours at the mo. Also any ideas how much shipping would be from the US? Love the colour combo Cheers Graham[/quote] $1350 + $100 for shipping? Don't ask me about customs/duty etc! "Live rates at 2010.01.23 18:28:30 UTC 1,450.00 USD = 899.894 GBP United States Dollars/United Kingdom Pounds 1 USD = 0.620617 GBP/1 GBP = 1.61130 USD"
