Two are height adjustments. I don't remember which and no longer have the bass. There is one that locks the piece in place. You can call the folks at Schecter. Very nice and helpful.

Allied High Tech wafering blades. Not sure what the arbor is, but there are tons of metallographic or potted sectioning blades that are under .5mm. Some are even .3mm. Just look up Allied High Tech, Buehler, Leeco. All of those companies sell thin saw blades for sectioning materials in a...

Used the V803 for the first gig and through an unfamiliar cab, (ampeg 212av or a 410he). Dialed it in quick. Mounted it to the pedalboard. My friend Nic who was playing in one of the other bands also brought his V803 for it's first show. These things are all over the place now

Kev that's awesome. I would make sure you have at least seen the Shechter Riot Models. It's also basically am Eagle derivative. I doubt anyone will care at all, but I would hate to have you see a Riot and be disgruntled. Your variant is much cooler in any case. I saw that Eagle 6string on...

wow, love it. spooky.

Thx. It is interesting how much an area can influence hardcore and punk bands. If you look at bands early on there were these pockets of similar sounds even today. For awhile there was a bunch of NYHC bands that sound YOT for a bit, then there was everyone sound like fill in the blank here...

Maybe it isn't what you are going for back then but your recordings just scream Vancouver. Has to be something in the water. Those sound awesome. I saw DOA with Chuck Biscuits on tour with The D+cks it was pretty mind blowing. So loud. My string of choice on the mighty Peavey Foundation was...

I was born in 64 so first strtaed playing in punk bands in the late 70's early 80's. I think you have to look at this on a case by case basis. I was for the most part using Rotosounds but I was trying to sound like this or Rainey from Discharge Not like this... which is probably flats. I...

It depends on what year the roadstar bass is I suppose, but I doubt very much it is crappy firewood. In fact most of the Roadstars had pretty nice wood. If you want a painted bass then obviously you need to fill and sand flat. Polyester can be extracted with a heat gun. If you want a wood...

In the video he mentions a few bands that have used the RB for recording. I also thing there is an extended version of the video that has more sound samples. He does mention in one of the video's that the RB when used judiciously is really good at making whatever you are using, just sound like...

It looks like finish has crept up all the fingerboard edge. It seems like a misguided tape job. There shouldn't be any finish at all on the ebony. I agree about the rolled edge causing the finish to delaminate, but it shouldn't even be there. I'm not sure I agree with the comments on the...

It's a great set up.

The little rig. Currnetly no DG, but a Quilter V803.

Just dropping in to ask if you have seen this. It is specifically about recording with the RB. The RB is a lot more versatile than it gets credit for. This shows some of that.

Nah. I play with a lotta bands that all play pretty loud and run sound. I admire your ability to convince yourself that there are "lots of smaller lightweight amps that sound exactly the same if not better than a V4B." I've seen lots of people that claim that and I've yet to hear one that...
