[quote name='BassManKev' post='149600' date='Mar 1 2008, 08:01 PM']i never said that, i said when i attacked the e string hard it always happened, and at extreme boosts effected ALL strings[/quote] Sorry, mis-interpretation!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='143417' date='Feb 19 2008, 10:08 PM']its any note on e string, at extreme boosts on the preamp, in can happen on all string[/quote] [quote name='BassManKev' post='149568' date='Mar 1 2008, 07:02 PM']reason i dont think its the preamp is that i aint askin much of it at all, i have the treble/bass practically flat, and the p pickup volume 3/4 and the jazz 1/3, that shouldnt overload any preamp[/quote] So it's happening all the time now? Originally you just said "at extreme boosts"... Certainly not an easy one to explain if it's all the time. Does it happen when you cut the bass control?

[quote name='phatbass787' post='149042' date='Feb 29 2008, 04:47 PM']Whats your budget?[/quote] [quote name='bubinga5' post='147742' date='Feb 27 2008, 12:30 PM']I have roughly 500 (but would spend a little more).[/quote]

They look remarkably similar to my cheapy Galveston acoustic bass. It's quite a nice big tone but the fretwork was awful on mine - I had to file every fret down coz I kept shredding my hand to pieces! For the money, tho, go for it!
-
You can change the preamp no prob, I have heard of other people who have done it. What about getting a custom Kingbass with J pickups too, jsut for fun?

Yep, you're definitely after Alan's crown -
You're going to be rivalling Alan soon for most things bought and sold via Basschat -

This sounds interesting - keep us posted I've been toying with the idea of getting Jon to make a P for me sometime next year (need to pay off a credit card first!!) so will be interested to see if this happens and how you get on with it!

Original speaker would have been the Celestion 200W jobby, C15T-200 or something I think. £200 - go for it!

[quote name='wal4string' post='145573' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:16 PM']Looking for a swap. I have a 5 String Stingray that I am looking to swap for an equivilant quality 4 string bass. Ideally would like a natural finish bass and nice big fret markers, but anything considered. Will post images if anyone is interested. At the moment bass is at a rehearsel studio. Cheers Ron[/quote] [quote name='Merton' post='145590' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:54 PM']Also needs to be in the For Sale section!![/quote] [quote name='wal4string' post='145591' date='Feb 23 2008, 01:59 PM']Why? It is not for Sale![/quote] But the for sale thread is for trade stuff too - ie a swap Just being an annoying pedantic git, I'll fook off now! -
Also needs to be in the For Sale section!!

They're worthless, give it to me Try [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/trace_operateinstru.shtml"]HERE[/url] for the manual. Series 6 is largely regarded as the last real sh*t hot Trace. So, sell to me for 50p or to someone nice for about £200 probably EDIT: can't find a 2x10 combo in the 7-band Series 6 range tho... Can you post a pic?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='144116' date='Feb 21 2008, 12:34 AM']There's too many to mention really! But Merton's Status Groove 5, Nig's G&L L2500, WalMan's Wal Custom, Luke's Ibanez Fretless and one of Water of Tyne's vintage Fenders quickly spring to mind We can but dream, I suppose.....[/quote] Hehe, was wondering if that'd come up! Only a month to go and you can play it. I'm scared sh*tless you'll hate it I said it in the other thread - Alex's RIM custom 5 will do me

[quote name='Machines' post='143880' date='Feb 20 2008, 06:06 PM']Strictly speaking it is infinite - there is no limit to the smallest movement possible to attain a new position. Sure it won't be noticeable but it is a fair claim.[/quote] Being a pedant, that's not infinite. There are still maximum and minimum positions, therefore a finite number of in between positions, even if you're saying a 1 micron movement means a new position!
-
No. The only way to do it is to change the woofer to an 8ohm one.

My Retroactive J Alex's RIM Custom, it looks such a nice elegant, simple design yet tonally flexible bass. Rick Savage's Hamer Scarab, coz I've always wanted one (see 80's looking basses thread).

[quote name='BassManKev' post='143417' date='Feb 19 2008, 10:08 PM']its any note on e string, at extreme boosts on the preamp, in can happen on all string as i said, the fact it still happened when i ran it through recording and speakers shows its not the amp[/quote] Is the key here "at extreme boosts on the preamp"??? Just a thought, maybe you're clipping the preamp, nothing more exciting than that.

[quote name='Sibob' post='143530' date='Feb 20 2008, 09:08 AM']We're a slightly rockier modern covers band and we get plenty of weddings. People who are getting married now are (mostly) the younger generation, IMO they don't want WetWetWet and Robson & Jerome. We're doing a wedding in August where we've asked if we can do some Rage Against The Machine........oh yesss Si[/quote] Very nice! One of our June weddings this year is having a Foo Fighters song for their first dance, that'll be fun I agree with the comments from Thunderthumbs - keep in contact all the time, keeps them from fretting and also (hopefully) avoids any last minute misunderstandings. (edited for smelling pistakes)

Haven't tried them yet, will give them a whirl tonight If you hear a screeching sound from Reigate direction you know what it is
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again - that bass looks amazing. I'm really pleased it sounds as good (or better?) than that. May you have many happy years together

Cheers Hans, nice to meet ya
