I'm sure that I have seen a thread on here that explains the pecking order of Stingrays, Sterlings, SUBs etc but I can't seem to find it. Could anybody please point me in the right direction? Cheers

No interest for a top blues gig?

Nice. Pardon my ignorance but what bass is that and what do the controls all do?

I have a ticket for this gig that I can no longer use. If you would like it please PM me. It will cost you nothing except maybe a donation to BC

The J p/up seems to be a recurring issue on these basses. One BCer I am aware of got in touch with OW and they swapped out the original fit for a new OW item that was a lot better FOC.

But of course

Teenagers asking for help - whatever next, whole sentences?

Settled on a P/J combo in the end.

Yes I drifting towards that atm. Will have a further conflab with Alan before I decide I think.

Cheers Eude that was most helpful. Are the SBs relatively quiet for single coils do you know?

GAK have got the 300 series in and looks like the 500 series on order. Looks to me they are going to be excellent value basses.

Jon Letts?

Right angled one on my cable. In my experience it seems very sensitive to which socket on which bass it's plugged in to. In some cases it's pretty good, and others not great tbh.

A progress pic. with the maple neck that is looking rather pleasant. Starting to see what the bass will look like and I'm really happy with the wood combinations. I am talking to Alan about changing the p/up spec to a two p/up setup. Either P/J or P/H; any body have any views on this as in all honesty I've never played a P/H bass. It seems to me that in P/H mode the EQ02 would offer some considerable variety with either p/up soloed as well as blended. [attachment=132274:Graft body & neck.jpg]

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1365663063' post='2042410'] So what's the script with active bass, 4 controls, vol, pan, bass, treble? [/quote] A lot of pre-amps have a buffered blend/pan control so don't suffer to the same degree - as in the signal from each p/up is treated separately then summed, rather than summed straight from the pickups iirc.

It's called phase cancellation I think, and it's due to the relative positions of the pickups and the vibrating string. See the article here: http://barefacedbass.com/uploads/BGM61%20Dec2010.pdf

The last two I've sent in hardcases and cardboard outers have cost between £22 and £25. From memory the dimensions were something like 145 x 45 x 12 cms and weighed c. 13kgs. Interparcel have been very good with my deliveries (I've picked the UPS option) and added insurance as required. Depending upon the value of the bass and the service you choose the included cover can be sufficient.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1365548561' post='2041096'] Wow! Sounds great, that. Is the point to augment volume and push away the wood so the frets get looser when cold again? Or am I on a different planet here? b, b [/quote] I understand that it's to do with melting the adhesive so the fret wire can be extracted. Never done it myself though as I prefer my fretless basses unlined (so I've got an excuse )

I wouldn't get too hung up on that, my headphones are slightly higher impedance than my in ear things, both work fine in an ipod type device that is more sensitive to the load, so your amp will have no trouble driving most readily available brands. Not a Sennheiser person so can't help you on that score. I believe they are well regarded though.

Cheers boys. I have to say I'm more of a dark cherry kind of guy compared to the the pirate look [size=4] [/size]
