    Tuning to low F# or even low C#

    in Accessories and Misc

    Posted · Edited by Jono

    I'm thinking of doing a cheap ERB thing with one of my 5 strings, tunning it to F#BEAD or even C#F#BEA. Can anyone recommend string gauges and where to get them from? I'm confident low F# will sound good but I'm not sure about low C#.

    Any advice appreciated?

    Can anyone recommend a UK based pedal repairer. My old guyatone rolly phaser has ceased working and I love it's 70's watery sounds so I would really like to get it fixed...

    Bass with Whammy Bar

    in General Discussion

    Here's my two whammy equipped basses...



    1995 Bass Collection - bought for my 18th birthday. Could never part with this one. Stock apart from the kahler which was bought from the back pages of Bassist in around 2000 for £60. Kahler trems are the best in my opinion - You can take them about 2 semi-tones up and almost an octave down... Dive bomb heaven!!! Bass collection basses may be a bit out of fashion now but they really are ace... Playability city.

    Tune 6 String - bought secondhand in 2001 for £675. Martin Peterson replaced the PUPs with custom Kent Armstrong moulded Tune style ones and a Schack circuit - sounds ultra clean and modern especially with all the maple in the neck and body. Very playable and thin neck. The whammy is ok but not brilliant. It is a Standard strat style fulcrum design. You can't bend up and can only go down two semi-tones. Only really any good for vibrato.

    The best albums for hearing kahler in action would be the first two Primus records IMO...

    Queenofthedepths - how is the Kahler for you btw? Enjoying it?

    ABM 5 String Piezo bridge (black) with Bartolini buffer circuit

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Hi there,

    Yes pretty much as you suggest. Steps:

    You would need to mount the bridge. Feed piezo wires into control cavity. Most basses already have a passage to do this which houses the existing earth wire.
    Then solder piezo and existing pickups into the inputs on the buffer circuit. Then solder the buffer circuit to the output jack. That's about it. The circuit comes with full wiring instructions which are pretty simple... Or get a luthier to do it for you if you're not confident... should cost £20 to £30 for the work.
