We'd be interested in that if guildbass doesn't want it -- my daughter's just started piano lessons.
I can pick it up.

I am thinking Bergantino 6x10 and Genz Benz Streamliner 9.0 to be honest

I was going to suggest the Berg in the for sale section, but you've beaten me to it.
Good choice. I use a TB into a Mesa 400+ into a Berg 610.

I've used DDTs to dep with a similar down-tuned band -- I was recommended them on here. They were great.
Tension-wise, they felt pretty much the same as standard DRs even at the lower tuning. And they lasted for ages.
I think you'll like 'em.

Welcome -- from another Mark in Sussex, whose gear outshines his ability

Well, I'm afraid you've reached the limit of my technical understanding
Have you messed with the pots inside?
I've never had trouble getting any tone out of it -- though I do prefer a mid-dy sound.
Cheers
Mark -
I'm not a technical person, so forgive my vague reply.
I've got an Audere Z-mode 3-band preamp on one of my basses -- and it has a mini toggle that emphasises different frequencies depending on where it's set. Does yours have that -- and does changing it help?
I think you can also adjust tone settings on the circuit board inside. Here's the website:

Hope that helps.

Sorry, molan, I forgot to reply to this. My mate has joined another band so he's no longer on the market.
Sorry. I hope you find or have found somebody.

This was the reply from my friend who's out there this week. It sounds complicated -- but this is what he said, if it helps.
My understanding is that, if you're going to be working out there, you need a sponsoring employer. The process is then that you fill out an application form for a "Certificate of Eligibility" which then has to be sent via the employer to the visa authorities in Japan. This may take a few weeks to come back, at which point you have to complete an additional form for a visa, which you then have to take to the Japanese Consulate in London in person. Once all this has been done they turn 'round the visa in about a week.
His is a reasonably high profile metal band so maybe they have to do things by the book. Sounds like a proper application for a job, though.

A friend of mine is gigging in Japan -- next week. I've asked him what they have and await his reply.

Buy from Thomann without worry, they're good.

+1 -- and quick delivery. -
I know a fantastic drummer in Aldershot but I'm not sure he's into doing covers. I'll ask him and get back to you.

Very sad news. [/quote]
+1. He's a great bloke who does amazing set-ups. And I once played a g****r he built which is one of the best I've ever had my hands on.

Excellent
Sorry, have a bump.

I had a bass built by Bud LeCompte in Texas -- based purely on how it looked and his reputation on Talkbass.
This was four years ago, when there were two dollars to the Pound and I had money to spend. I budgeted for the tax, VAT and a flight case.
Bud did a great job, kept me updated with photos and delivered more or less on time. I still love the bass -- it's light, well balanced, plays nicely and looks lovely.
I'd say getting a custom abroad is fine if you have the cash and are willing to take a risk on how it will turn out.
Here's the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46&hl=LeCompte"]build diary[/url]
Not my bike, sadly

That's cheap for a Wal, even in today's market, isn't it?
Cheers
Mark -
It might go cheap -- the guy's a first-timer.
Swap to black hardware and it would be perfect.

They're great and Dave's service is awesome. I think the G30 transmitter has a straight jack plug input instead of the TA4-f used on others in the range.
Sorry for the OT post, elsharko. But have a bump -- if G30s are anything like G90s, it's a great bit of kit.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='1273148' date='Jun 17 2011, 08:27 PM']Do they open their set with "Here comes the Sun" followed with "House of the Rising Sun" etc etc ?[/quote]
Er, no ... the nearest we get is You Took The Sunshine From New York by the Wildhearts.
Oh, and Don't Believe A Word

I was going to mention this but I thought it might break advertising rules.
It costs £1.50 to enter, though.
Many of the senior Sun staff are metal fans -- at least four play guitar to a high standard. One runs a three-piece blues band in Hastings, another fronts a punk metal band in Kent.
There is even a Sun covers band -- Ten Bananas.

The sobbing woman was my wife. Seeing Rush for the first time since about 1980 proved too much for her

[quote name='chris_b' post='1245286' date='May 26 2011, 10:15 AM']That's interesting. Where did you order that from?[/quote]
Andertons in Guildford. They suggested it when I asked about extra-long Levys straps that they sell in America.
They ordered the extension in but it arrived quickly.

[quote name='urban Bassman' post='1245367' date='May 26 2011, 11:12 AM']Great show really enjoyed it [/quote]
+1. Really great. I'd forgotten how much of that stuff is soaked into me.
I particularly liked the spooky Witch Hunt.
Cheers

If it's a two-part thing, like a Levys with a loop-through system, you can order longer back bits to extend them.
I recently ordered the back portion of a Levys suede strap to make mine longer for a T-bird.
