I've tried this before but misunderstood what sound I'd be getting - ie the equivelant position of the tone control. I play with my volume up full and my tone control all the way round on my Warmoth- effectively rolling off all the bass. Is there a way to connect directly to a jack but have the sound exactly like this? There must be a way of wiring in a cap somewhere to achieve this sound. I'm far from being an electronics whizz so any help would be appreciated. Its in pieces right now while I paint the headstock so I have plenty of time

I've now got some pics of the painting in progress: The first one is after a couple of coats of primer - exciting eh? the second is after a couple of coats of black - I intentionally went for the visible grain look as something a bit different Here's the logo I chose - its just my initials - please note that this is sticker paper and not decal paper - what an arse I am This is after after about 5 coats of laquer - the decal/sticker isn;t as raised as it was initially. I plan on doing 15-20 coats so it should be pretty flush by then. Only thing now is that you can no longer see the grain I should be finished laquering by tea time. I'm doing a coat every 15-20 minutes. I'll then take the masking off after a couple of hours and leave it to cure for a couple of weeks before polishing and putting the hardware back on.

Yip - they make Warwicks seem featherweight by comparison. Both of mine have been Wesleys. As well as providing highest quality song it should also give good lucky with the noble art of the larruping etc etc etc

I would've thought that it would be worth less having been used with the Beautiful South? Once you factor in cleaning it to rid it of etc etc etc Sorry, I've always hated their music just ignore me.

I have primed then sprayed the head black and left overnight. I decided to go with my initials on the end of the headstock as opposed to my second choice which was that of 'f***er Pee Bass' Found my decal paper and printed it off, cut it out, laquered it, left it to dry. I then soaked it in water and guess what? I had actually picked up my sticker paper so I thought, f*** it, its thin enough so I've stuck it onto the headstock and began laquering it. Its looking good so far - I'll post some pics later.

A black wire is normally an earth - is there anywhere on the back of one of the pots with solder but nothing attached? Try playing a note with it plugged in and while the note is ringing, touch the black wire against the back of one of the pots - any one will do. If that solves it then that's your problem.

If you're going to get one of those you'd be as well going the whole hog and getting something that does this: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pNJdz1pkIOE"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pNJdz1pkIOE[/url]

Found this while raking through Youtube. not the greatest video quality but sound is fine [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OHHYWiTSNcI&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OHHYWiTSNcI&...feature=related[/url] At first I thought he was using a Rick when I looked at the body then noticed the stubby headstock and realised that it was a Kubicki.

Before you learn Nillson's 'Without You' and 'I Fall to Pieces' by whoever - these are actually songs about people splitting up. You've no idea how many people ask for it for first dances then quickly change their minds when we tell them what the songs are about. There are loads of websites devoted to listing top wedding band songs. The drummer and I split the work between us. I do the packs, print CDs etc and he sends the packs, speaks to the potential customer's. We only do 1 wedding fare a year. The guitarist's son did our webpage. He made a god job of it but, unfortunately, the pictures that we had taken make us look like the f***ing 'Good Ole Boys' Country band. Having my, now long gone, '51 reissue P bass in the middle of the main picture doesn;t help. We have new pictures but haven't updated the site yet.

I've been playing 21 years now and I've toyed with the idea of learning how to tap for while. What would be the best method of learning this style? Not sure whether it would be video, book or whatever else and if so can anyone name some titles for me that would be good? Looking to do a bit of this: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JwaMeThlvzE"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JwaMeThlvzE[/url] [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OHHYWiTSNcI&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OHHYWiTSNcI&...feature=related[/url] The tapping part of it is what interests me but would also be interested in the chording and slap side of it. I can slap but have never studied it properly to get the best from it. I get the chance to do solos with the rock band so it would be good to do something a bit different from playing a million miles an hour which is what I normally do.

Is it just me that reads 'reliced' as 'relissed'? Most Cs with a vowel after them are pronounced with an S sound. I/we need to start a campaign to have the spelling of this adverb changed to accomodate an exta K after the C - 'relicked'. Ah, I can read it properly now. yes I realise accomodate has a vowel after it but it also is a pair of Cs and you get nothing for a pair (not in this game)

Always on the right hand side of the drummer, ever since I joined my first band. It could be that I am usually looking across the fretboard so that it makes it easier to look up and see any visual cues or that it gives me a bit of room as no one wants to be speared by the head of a bass so they keep their distance.

I have to impress everyone in the store with my awsomeness as I am truely 'the man'. I just give them what they want, a blazingly fast slap solo that goes something like: giggedy giggedy giggedy giggidy paparap paprap diddly biddly widdly hiddly shmoo. No wait, I'm getting mixed up with everyone else that seems to frequent every music store I've ever been to. Personally, after checking that it's in tune I do the neck speed test which is a faster version of the intro to Chinatown by Thin Lizzy beginning on the E of the G string. If I can play that then I'll continue, If not then back it goes. I do a lot of octaves as well - something like 'Everybody Dance' by Chic is a good one. I don't slap ever as I don't play that way live so that would be a waste of my time and the other visitor's hearing. One thing though - why does everyone have to be so loud when they are testing gear? I've left music shops many a time because of this.

Never thought I'd ever see one like this. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-String-Clear-Body-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Headless-New_W0QQitemZ360125093162QQihZ023QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-String-Clear-Body-...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] I've had a clear one and a blue one but they have been regular 5 string basses.

I normally don;t like semi acoustics or green on a bass but this is nice, if perhaps a little pricey [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-PRO-SEAFOAM-GREEN-HOLLOW-BODY-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ220347438816QQihZ012QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-PRO-SEAFOAM-GREE...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Brought to you by the same seller that does the 7 and 8 string basses as well. I nearly bought one of those ones when i was dabbling in 6 string a couple of years ago.

I have Ebay inform me when Riverhead basses come up for sale as I am looking for a Jupiter which, unfortunately, this is not. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320334811354&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ME:B:SS:GB:1123[/url] One of these days I will find one - preferably the one I traded in the mid 90s in Sound Control in Dunfermline for my first 5 string which was a white Bass Collection SB305

Hee Haw for me. For some reason I seem to be getting better as well I think if I wanted to learn a new technique then I'd practice. I'm lucky in that I can get away with playing once along to any songs I need to learn for a practice on the day and be able to play them at the practice. Most of the songs I do with the wedding band I haven't heard and most of the time I don't even know who recorded them.

If only it was a 5 string, a stage II, I could actually get to Bristol and I had any money whatsoever then I'd be all over this fictitious bass. Seriously though, I absolutely love these basses. The Corvette is giving me the Streamer bug after being let down by the ergonomics of my NT5 Thumb a couple of years back. One of the last of the basses I have on my wish list but have never owned.
