You would probably find more people interested over on Talkbs. More of them go for those than probably would here. I've voted no. I watched a lot of Billy Sheehan videos a while back and what he does is jack the pickups really high and wedge stuff between them so they are solid. When he plays a string, his finger comes to rest on the pickup. I used to do that, in fact before I watched the videos come to mention it. It was really good in that, I felt it helped me play faster due to the fingers traveling a shorter distance but I could not get the same attack that I like. I am a very heavy player, so much so that I have to use the active pad switch on my amp. Even though it helped me play faster, I wouldn't have one as it hindered me achieving my trademark sound. Are you actually planning on doing this or is it all hypothetical?

Try touching the string where it goes over the nut. I had a problem with that on my first Warmoth when I made an arse of fitting my Warwick JAN III. Don't know what caused it but a quick visit to jimmy moon had is sorted.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to conect the earth cable and it sounds fine. I'm going to treat myself to a wireless system for Christmas as I've had enough of faulty cables recently and have this OCD thing going on that if there is a cable on the floor near me, I have to kick it away.

I've had a good rake round and can't find anything. I am about to install a Bartolini prewired assembly to my gold Warmoth bass. Its a 2 band EQ with stacked bass and treble so as to retain the original look. The problem I have is that it doesn't say whether to connect the earth wire coming from the bridge or not. I have fitted EMGs before and the ones I used advised me not to but there aint nothing here to tell me yay or nae. Anyone fitted as set of these before?

For me I want to go smaller and lighter. I find the Shcroeder 1212L & GK700RB II to be far too much for use as a backline when we have an adequate PA. Need to do a lot more research but the fact i like the GK sound means that I am leaning more towards the new digital amp. also looking into getting a compact single 10" or 12". I like the idea of the Markbass combos but I sit my cab on a stand angled up towards me so that would mean that I would need to lean over the cab to get at the controls. I may rig up something so that the amp is sitting on something just below the bottom of the cab. I would like to make my 2 Warmoth basses my only basses. They are just now but I sometimes get a hankering for something else whereas in reality they do everything I need them to. I also need to diet as well. My basses are beginning to go from usual in front position to BB King, round the side position. I also want to start practicing myself at home. i don't remember the last time I just picked up my bass at home other than to learn a song for a gig. i could improve so much if I kept at it.

That would probably be a lot less if the $ wasn't so bad just now - $599 over in the US. A couple of months ago that equalled £300, now nearer £400

I'm seriously contemplating one of these as well but then again i was seriously contemplating an all valve amp not that long ago. I love how small and light they are. I'm all for reducing how many trips I need to make from the car to the gig so this would get it down to 2 and would be a lot lighter than my GK 700RB II but more powerful (?) I don't suppose you took a picture of the bit that you move to adjust the voltage for anyone else who is looking into getting one early?

We've just begun doing 'Don't Stop me Now'. Keys only needed at the beginning but shouldn't be too difficult to do something between bass and guitar - its been going down well so far

That pink one is a beauty. Remonds me of my Jap shell pink P with maple neck I had a few years back - one of the basses I wished I had never sold. Been looking for another one ever since. Feder Japan may have made '54 reissues as non-export models but I don't recall seeing them. I had a yellow 90s '51 reissue and it was deifinitely slab bodied. That and the 2 tone sunburst one I had last year were the reason for me getting my Warmoth '54s made - loved the basses but the slab body was a killer. Same reason I sold my Ricks

One question thats not been asked yet - would it cost more money to operate the site if we were to expand the for sale section? Also, more time to moderate as well? I'm not upon these things. if it wouldn't be too much trouble/cost etc I would like to see the wanted section split just as the for sale section is.

Not sure - I've had a look at some of the other auctions and he gives the impression that he knows what he's talking about. Other questions such as the ones from the PRS auction seem okay. Maybe he's skint like the rest of us? Just like the baker, he kneaded the dough Where's me coat?

This sounds exciting. Like an olympic torch thingy. Let's hope Konnie Huq isn't taking part in this

Bass may only be 4 strings generally but those are [b]man strings[/b] . None of you're tiny, sewing thread thickness, twangy rubbish here.

I'll need to find out if anyone around my way has them or will be getting them in. I wouldn't say I had gas for one but am interested to see how the sound differed to my GK I really like the idea of hardly any controls- Ive just finished wiring the pickup on my newest Warmoth staight to the jack

I put one of these [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=EMIDEL15LFC&product=Eminence_Delta_15LF_4_ohms&browsemode=category"]http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=EMI...semode=category[/url] into my cab- sounded really good

I get so many tones out of it and with my Gk head, i can set the eq to give it a bit more of an edge. Im not sure i NEED another bass but il still get another one when i have the money [/quote] So you're Lakland JO is just outside the City eh? I get no tones outside my own head, nevermind a Gk one. Have more money dude.

I still punch with my left hand

i would like #1 in the lefty/righty club simply because I said so. Check my sig, it says so. Lefty/righty Club Member #1 okay I've been on talkbs maybe once too often
