Delberthot

I've been going to fix this for ages but haven't had the time. I have an Epi Explorer that someone did a refinish on without taking the pickups off. The pickups are put to one side until I look for something that may be able to remove it without melting the plastic but in the meantime I have the ones from my Thunderbird to put in. When I got it it wasn't working at all, the switch had completely broken off. I'm in need of a wiring diagram but can't find anything - does anyone have one handy? It may very well be the same as the Les Paul bass I'm not even sure what the switch is for, I'm assuming its a pickup selector with vol/vol/tone controls

porn.com is my homepage I'm kidding obviously - its google.co.uk My first visits are generally myebay, gumtree or basschat

totally agree. There isn't going to be any point buying an effects thingy if no one can hear you. get yourself a decent amp that will allow you to be heard with a sound you like first then add on things

Being a salesman in a previous life I am very good at bumming something up to the max to get the best possible price for it If you buy new then you're very rarely going to get anywhere near what you paid for it if you then sell it on again. Only a couple of times has that happened to me. I am a very shrewd buyer and do extensive homework before I buy anything but I am also a gear whore so something that I spent maybe a week researching to find the best price could be back up for sale the very same day that I receive it purely because it does nothing for me. Like Machines, my entire setup has set me back about £300 including brand new amp, rack, cab, kitchen and bathroom purely from buying something cheap and selling it for more. That's right, kitchen & bathroom its up to the individual what they buy and sell stuff for but at the end of the day when you no longer own it its no longer of any concern to you. I've sold a load of stuff for way over what i paid for it and seen stuff that I have sold for more than I paid for it but its no longer mine so I'm not bothered. I've never taken the mickey, just sold it for what I thought it was worth. If I see something very cheap and I want it then I will buy it as I know that I can make money on it if I don't like it. I used to buy stuff on Ebay that was stupidly cheap just to sell at a profit but those days are long gone when you used to see Ricks for £600, JV Squiers for <£200 and Stingray 5s for £550 I'm not hurting anyone & I'm not being nasty

I'm liking the EMG HZs in my Epiphone. No room in there for a battery or anything extra, don;t know what the Tokai is like. I bought the Goth Thunderbird simply because I love the sound of a mahogany body, very dark and growly, just so happens to be what the Gibbys are made from. Too many things put me off getting a Gibson - the strap button position behind the neck isn't the best if you have a gut as it tends to push the bass away at a funny angle and from what I've heard recently, the finish on the Epiphones is way superior to what is coming out of the Gibson factory with runny finishes

The 4004 was an imrpoved version of the 4003, except it has humbuckers, but it doesn't look like a 4003 as it has no scratchplate, sharkfin inlays or binding. Now the binding I can live without as I prefer the 4003S anyway, plus it has dots instead of those inlays so it probably comes down to the scratchplate.

mine sounded good with my Trace 4x12" and with the 1524 2x15"

I don't recall there being a 1044 cab. Only 4 ohm cabs I can think of are the 1524 tall 2x15", the BFC was 3 4ohm cabs in one and the 1084 8x10" It looks ike a mark V cab [url="http://www.quicksound.co.uk/articles/trace_elliot/images/10-11.jpg"]http://www.quicksound.co.uk/articles/trace...mages/10-11.jpg[/url]

Well after a few gigs I'm very impressed. It may have lot to do with the bass they're on, my Thunderbird, but they sound really aggressive and not even remotely 'flat' sounding. They're more roundwounds that have done dozen gigs sounding. I managed to get the action even lower when installed these as they are slightly higher tension than the strings I was using so don't flap as much, although the Hartkes felt stiff enough when I was using them. It still sounds very Warwick Thumb sounding at times but that could be partly due to me favouring the bridge pickup, in fact the neck one is rarely on at all. I'm a happy bunny so far. I'll report back after the Christmas party nights are done and dusted as they should be as settled in as they're going to get by then

I got a Wilkinson one which looks identical from Ebay for £17 delivered Still to install it. Funnily enough it also looks identical to the EMG 35HZ that its going to be going with in my Thunderbird

I went through a phase of trying to sound like my favourite bass players so I had the Stingray 5 string and Modulus Flea to sound like flea, the Ricks to sound like Chris Squire, several Stingrays to sound like Bernard Edwards and 1980ish John Deacon, several precisions to sound like John Deacon. The common thing between all of these basses is that I sounded damn all like any of them, In fact I sounded most like Chris Squire with an Epiphone EB-3. I eventually gave up and now sound exactly like me which at the minute is quite aggresive, bridge pickup and Roto flats

I thought that first picture was of the moon with a silver sticker on it at first I think all Trace 4x10"s are 8ohms. It will be 200w RMS, max is normally quoted as double that by some manufacturers

That's some practice setup I've gone and done it. I have the last one in stock in the warehouse at Digital Village set aside for me to pay for next week.

Ooh I get it - they're trying to do the same to the Squier brand as Fender already do - have 10 squillion versions of the same bass

like Stanley Clarke and Steve Gadd? - oh yes
