Bloc Riff Nut

Hello, BassBunny,

I'm actually living in Holland.

I can always check out Basgitaarforum.nl for info on decent amp techs.

I was just wondering how badly, and in which areas, I may have messed it up.

Cheers,

Phil.

After about 3hrs of rehearsal it started to distort.  Really heavy distortion. 

The amp was set to 8ohms and I was playing it through my new barefaced 210 which i thought I'd switched to 12 ohms but after further investigation it was in the 4 ohm setting. 

What have I broken and is it beyond repair. 

I'm devastated.  It was my favourite of all the amps I've ever played and I've been told(I have no idea myself) it's an original 1969.

I'm grateful for any insight you guys can give. 

Cheers, 

Phil. 

Whenever I place sponge under my strings, at the bridge, it throws the intonation out. I've tried varying compositions of sponge and it always alters the intonation. I'm placing it under the strings of my classic vibe Precision at the bridge ashtray cover.
When an in tune string is tuned at the 12th fret it will show 1 or 2 red leds on my Korg Pitch Black tuner.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Ive seen plenty on the net but they range from 10euro to 70 euro.
Just want to make sure I'm getting what I want and not a silly plastic thing.
I'm looking for the brushed aluminium type.
It's for a Squier Classic Vibe. The original tort plate is broken.

These look wonderful

Is it possible to show the wear on the fretboard(from roundwounds)?
I have it's 5string cousin and this is giving me an itch I can't scratch.
Bump for a beauty!

Hi guys/gals,

Can you tell me where I can get some info on the Marshall Super Bass 100.
I've been googling it but can't find the info I want. I have the opportunity to buy a vintage model but want to know a few things first.
How do the four instrument inputs on the front differ?
There are 2 cab inputs on the rear but they aren't labled. What is the ohmage?

All I can find is guitarists shredding their stuff!
I'm not the best internet researcher so I appologise in advance if it's obvious and easy to find.

Cheers,

Phil.

Hi guys,

I play a lot of his tracks, and although I'm confident I've got his licks down quite well I was after some isolated tracks so I could really get into his grooove/technique.
I couldn't find anything on here or google. Maybe one of you knows something I can't find.

Cheers,

Phil.

That's awesome, thank god you posted.
Love those nobs. You've made a unique instrument.
Obviously a sound clip would bring the thread to fruition.
You should be proud as punch.

Finally got some of my own photo's up.
These are from imgur so the quality isn't fantastic.
I can email the originals if necessary.

Phil

Get it out in the open as soon as possible and just be honest. That's all Most of us ask from each other.
A bit of a poor do that nothing has been said.
Good luck 😀

muscle shoals?

STAX. I play in the Stax Cats, after all.

hopeful Christmas ssale bump

Not micing the cab is usually'because it's easier'.
in my experience small stage pub venues are mostly di'ed and bigger venues are both di and mic.
I use a countryman di which sits between the cab and the amp. Works well and never had any hassle from sound guys.
Played a mini festival thingy last month and wee were pushed for time setting up. The sound guy insisted on taking the time to mic the cab(THANK YOU VERY MUCH).

Countryman 85 DI, great bit of kit.

My first thought was,"wow, no Primus".
I listened to Paul Young, Herbie Hancock and Testament all the way through.
Although Mr Big's 'Addicted to that rush' was my favourite.
What about;
The Flight of the Cosmic Hippo - Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

because I'm old and the simpler the better. Sometimes I can't even be bothered to go back and change the 'b' to upper case :-)
And now I don't have to buy or change any parts just disconnect the bridge pup and alter the wiring. I'll gove it a week and if it hasn't sold it will become mysuper P.

Cheers.

If I don't sell this soon I'm thinking of modding it over the Christmas hols.

It's a PJ with a vol vol set up. Can I disconnect the jazz pup(bridge) and use the 250k pot (which was previously used to regulate the jazz pup's volume) to regulate the tone of the P pup (neck)?

I have the schematics from G&L so it shouldn't be a problem. I just wasn't sure the vol pot was suitable.

Thanks in advance for the Bass Chat wisdom.

Phil.

I'm not sure if that link to the For Sale Ad is necessary. I'd read that it was when mentioning trades on other threads. Mods ; remove if necessary.

Excellent prezzie for someone type bump

Just sold Bob an Orange amp.
Went as smooth as can be.
Cheers Bob.
Enjoy.

Up,up and away...

Phil.
