Sorry autocorrect changed mensure. That’s all I wanted. Thank you.

Can you advise the measures available? I don’t do fb or instagram. Thanks.

I am at 18 months and waiting for a ‘63 DeVille. With the no gig situation, I haven’t been pushing, but now things are warming back up. I think many businesses have been caught out with the recent events. Good news is I got the price from 2019.

I second the take someone with you who plays. My experience is a much different sound behind the bass playing vs 15 feet in front, preferably 30 feet. I almost got rid of mine until my teacher played it and got a great sound, when I stood next to him it sounded just as I regularly heard it. A...

Sorry I messed up . I meant to reply to the OP.

I bought a Deluxe model back in 2004, and it has been fitted with Weichs for the last ten years. Dull and low volume is not what I would expect. I tried out 12 of them at St eve's place and picked the least bright. I added a raised saddle back in 2009, which Steve sent me FOC from a bass that...

This was Andrew Bodnar. The Rumour rhythm section played on this Session before Elvis got together with the Attractions. I always saw Andrew Bodnar playing A Stingray With the Rumour at that time, but who knows what he played on the date. Gerry McAvoy with Rory Gallagher and Johnny Spence of the...

After a long and tiring work week, the dB stayed at home and a Hofner club went to the gig last night. At my advanced age, it’s time to simplify. If I could double with this type of set up (Noble-power-amp or powered speaker), it would be very attractive. Also time to look at the contrabasetto...

Curious bridge on that bass. Fully adjustable.

Thanks.

Can someone point me to the ohms on the new cabs ( 10 and 12)? I couldn’t find these on any of the threads or Mike’s Facebook page.

If you do a search of this forum for Trevor Davis then the experiences of a couple of players is recorded. Good luck with the search. This is the thread. New Bass Day!

I suggest a trip to New Mexico. If you are going to commission a bass then, you owe it to yourself to play some basses and talk to the maker. Trevor is an enthusiastic, skilled and well regarded maker. I have heard two of his basses, both sounded great. Great players helped. I have not seen or...
