[quote name='BassBus' post='1117649' date='Feb 6 2011, 01:39 PM']This is where it starts to get complicated. Is that the speaking length you mean (the exposed length with no silk)? I've just measured an old 3/4 string which has about 150cm of exposed string. A 3/4 DB usually has a playing length of around 106cm. 4/4 will be longer, hence the need for different strings.[/quote] ahhh cheers for checking dude it is a pain in the arse cos i thought oh ill be able to get strings easy. i dunno i recon 4/4 might just be long enuff, didnt think it wud be expencive either as i built the whamola for basically nothing so this will be the most expencive thing i guess. ill try and get in contact with a shop and see if they will measure one for me. i feel sorry for u double bass guys i didnt realise ur strings cost so much cheers for the advice guys much appreciateddddddddddddddddd ;D

[quote name='PauBass' post='1077028' date='Jan 4 2011, 08:06 AM']The amp itself it's a three rack space unit but mounting it on a 4U case will allow for more air flow, better ventilation.[/quote] ah ok so probly better off in a 4 u? but the actual size is a 3u? cheers for the reply dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

alrite guys, just wondering what size rack case is the right one for a ampeg 4 pro. i think its the 4u rack case? thanks

[quote name='icastle' post='1038557' date='Nov 27 2010, 08:46 AM']You do realise that you would be creating a forgery of a manufacturers product by doing this? I would imagine that Gibson would not be too keen on letting logo transfers out onto the market and third party suppliers who attempt to replicate the logo would find themselves in court pretty quickly. Gibson are not a company that thinks twice before issuing legal proceedings it seems... If you want to put a logo on your headstock then I'd suggest that choosing a different design would be a very good idea. Why not use your surname or something like that - if I made something that I was proud of then I'd want my name on it, not someone elses! [/quote] ahh i did know it wud be a bit iffy but i didnt think it wud matter cos its a self build but i see what u mean man i guess ill leave it blank maybe. i just saw a p bass on ebay and the guy told everyone it wasnt fender but he put the decal on himself. i thought it was ok as long as u let people know? cheers for the advice tho man i probly shudnt haha and i didnt mean it as a forgery. thanks gary ill have a look on here...looks like a good site to get stuff done nice one mate

Alrrrite, i recently put together a les paul style guitar and was wanting to put a gibson transfer on it and laquer over the top on the head stock. i have painted it black alredy and its alredy to do this but i cant find anywhere that sells gibson transfers. so im wondering if anyone knows where u can buy these? also is the laquering easy to do? and does it just go right over the top of the transfer and how thick do u do it? thanks in advance

alllriteee, i just bought a second hand ampeg 4pro and bought it to practise today and cranked it all the way up and the eq seems to be fing up. basically it seems to cut the volume in half but when u move the end slider to the left (the one that turns up the power of the eq/ volume) it fixes it but then 10 secs later it will do the same. so i put a elastic band around it and put it to the other side of the eq to hold it to left and it has solved the problem for now. was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone has any idea what thats gonna cost to fix? again im very thankful to u guys for the advice, im always asking and never giving cheers

[quote name='spinynorman' post='1036591' date='Nov 25 2010, 04:55 PM']You've got it up on Gumtree, haven't you? You'd probably get more for it on eBay if you're prepared to ship abroad, but on here you might get that, or maybe have to come down a bit.[/quote] yea i had it up there but i think that was a hope for the best price really, i dunno what it wud really go for. how much did u think if i was to put it world wide? i dunno if i cud be botherd with the hassle tbh cheers neep ill try it on there tomoro or somthing, thats a cool little website and thanks for the interest and stuff toasted i dunno what i shud put it at really im a bit of a noob
