[quote name='Chris Horton' post='1091794' date='Jan 16 2011, 09:44 PM']The latest edition to the family , Yamaha TRB 5P II [attachment=69054:IMG_1574.JPG] [attachment=69055:IMG_1579.JPG] [attachment=69057:IMG_1586.JPG][/quote] I wouldnt mind trying a 6 string version of my TRB 5 P11 just to see what the difference in tone is like. I like the look of the Babinga wood bass guitars.

looking through all of the wal posts has gven me terrible gas for a wal I would love to get a 5 string wal . I played chrisb 's 5 string wal a while back , that was a beautiful bass. I think that i would have to sell / part x everything that i own to get my hands on a wal. .........one day

Event cancelled due to rubbish weather in Plymouth

Mate , i am gutted for you I think that you are doing the right thing. I would also contact one of the "BC moderators" to see if they are able to help ?? I hope it all comes out good for you Best regards Chris

Hi All, What a great thread. I started playing bass in 1996 in churches and never looked back. You get to meet fantastic people and play some great songs that are filled with encouragement and hope for the future. It has been and still is an awesome privalidge to play bass in a worship team. Me and the family attend Plymouth Vineyard Centre [url="http://plymouthvineyard.org.uk/"]http://plymouthvineyard.org.uk/[/url] On The 12th June 2011 there is a praise event being held at Plymouth Argyle Football stadium , Plymouth , Devon. Come along and check it out If you see me , i will be the one stood holding a bass guitar

[quote name='bremen' post='1232790' date='May 16 2011, 10:28 AM']Check that there's a connection between the bridge and the internal grounding (ie the pots, ground contact on pickups and jack socket). If you don't have a multimeter, try connection one end of a piece of wire to the bridge and the other end to the body of the jack. If the problem goes away, this connection is missing internally and should be redone. Do you get the same problem wherever you are, or is it at a particular venue (one where the lights run off teh same ringmain as the amp, for example)? You may need to screen the control cavity with copper tape. None of these jobs is particularly difficult with a Precision, beautifully simple electronics.[/quote] Thanks Bremen, I shall try your first idea. sounds good. with regards to your second point, the fault follows me no matter the location of where i play the bass.

[quote name='Protium' post='1232467' date='May 15 2011, 09:27 PM']Is there any sound from the bass when you play?[/quote] Yes, when i play the bass through the amp i get perfect bass notes but at the same time i get a small/quiet electric shock which can be heard through the amp/speaker. It feels like a very small static shock through my fingertips when i touch the strings

Just to start off , I have sevral bass guitars and i have swapped between basses, leds, amps and speakers etc and i have narrowed down the fault which only occurs when i play my P bass I have an early 70's Fender Precision. When i plug the bass stright into my bass amp i get a light buzing/crackling sound (sounds abit like static) when my fingers touch the strings or the pickups. Is this an earthing/shielding problem ? or are my pickups about to die ? What things should i check next to try and pin the fault down further ? Any help / info would be most gratefully received. Chris

That us super sweet ! any chance that your friend may have a pickguard that would fit a stingray 5 ????? ...................... It was worth an ask

That build looks really interesting . I love the body shape. I have thought about having a go at building one myself , but i dont want to mess it up . im really looking forward to seeing the pictures of the finished Bass
