    DiMarzio Will Power clips anyone?

    Hey thanks Vincent, we posted at about the same time so I've missed yours before. Checking the results briefly did not provide any useable clips but thanks none the less.

    DiMarzio Will Power clips anyone?

    I'm just going to have my private thread here :p Did find this using Google, haven't checked it completely just yet but might be something: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/dimarzio-will-power-pups-277360/

    DiMarzio Will Power clips anyone?

    Wow, this 'thread' is hardly breathing... :help: I just found out there are two Will Power models, I'm looking for soundclips of the Gibson 'mudbucker' or Model One type. I did find a rather interesting little video of Billy Sheehan on the DiMarzio website but he only demos the neck pup for a...

    DiMarzio Will Power clips anyone?

    So guys... I'm trying to find out what a Dimarzio Will Power pup sounds like, preferably compared to a split P-bass pup. I've seen one for sale but would like to hear it first. At first I thought this was going to be easy but I cannot find anything useful. Could anyone point me to a review...

    Help me i.d. this bass;

    Aaahhhh.... Just noticed it is called a JAZZ bass special... That sure helps when you try searching for info, duh.... The ad said Precision and as it sure looks like a p-bass I followed that blindly. Never mind! Just keep on walking, nothing to see here... ;)

    Help me i.d. this bass;

    Well, I hope this works, just tried to upload some pics... Title says it all, tried searching but didn't find what I needed. This is offered for sale locally as a MIJ P-bass special, does this mean it is late eighties, early nineties? It sure is hard to make out the SN but I think I see...

    LP shaped bodies?

    I just noticed the bridge on the Monaco is quite different but also that 2Tek seems to be back!! How about that! Cool stuff... Link Removed

    LP shaped bodies?

    Nice! Like most Hamers, looks authentic yet original. It seems they're very inspired by the 2Tek bridge. Didn't Hamer used to have a model with an original 2Tek back in the day? Hamer Guitars :: Guitars

    new home practice rig: BLACKSTAR 20W

    Heh, very cool that Blackbox Revelation! I like that loose blues feel a lot. Check out his right hand technique :smug:, cool to see where that loose sound is coming from. Good to come across some new music, after becoming a dad and starting my own business I sort of lost touch with what's going...

    I just love when these stuff-threads turn into music-threads! :p It's all about the music baby!!!! Anyhow, I ran through this other thread; http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/50w-100w-valve-owners-thread-733582/ in search of other cool, small tube amps. A couple of nice ones although the...

    new home practice rig: BLACKSTAR 20W

    Toots? Are you kidding? I know he gets enormous praise but when you say Belgium I say Brel, TC Matic (Arno solo!!), dEUS, Zita Swoon and most certainly Soulwax (and 2 many dj's!), more recently the mighty Triggerfinger and Selah Sue. All artists with a distinct voice of their own and that's...

    new home practice rig: BLACKSTAR 20W

    Thanks so much for posting about this amp! I was literally days, if not hours away from ordering the VHT 5 watt thing but your comments make me see that wouldn't have been the right thing for me. You saved me from disapointment! I so envy you Belgiums... No government and some of the best...

    new home practice rig: BLACKSTAR 20W

    Well, that sounds just about perfect! I totally dig what you say regarding the brighter type of OD. That is exactly what I'm looking for. To keep it local ;), a bit a la Monsieur Paul (or Ruben for that matter) from Triggerfinger I suppose. Pointy, sharp and gritty overdrive. But just to be...

    new home practice rig: BLACKSTAR 20W

    René, sound samples would be highly appreciated!! :hyper: Please???:hyper: If not possible, any chance you can tell a bit more about the volume level? I mean, could this do a bit of natural overdrive without disturbing the neighbours too much? Thinking about getting a small tube head...

    CONVERTING 4-STRING TO B-E-A-D

    I've done some experimenting with BEAD on P-basses. Not sure what kind of bass you're gonna use but if it has a Fender style bridge I would change that if experimenting with strings doesn't do the trick. I would love to hear from someone with a technical background why this might be but I've...

    High quality gig bags - which ones fit in overhead bins?

    +1 on point number 2. I've heard this from airplane staff first hand. For this reason I bought the slimmest looking quality bag I could get my hands on. You can look up maximum measures for each airline online I believe.

    Fender Bassman 10, should I?

    I was interested in buying one from a bass playing friend who gigged with it for quite some time. He wasn't blown away by it though. Said it was fine but nothing special. He is the kind of guy that doesn't suffer any g.a.s. in the gear departement... Before he used a Bassman 100 head with Mesa...

    To do or not: Marshall VBA 400

    DO! I think that's dirt cheap for an amp that good WITH a matching cab. Heard it numerous times and liked it a lot. Plus hardly ever heard anything bad about it, think it's a gem.

    Should I get an M13 or an M9

    Say TaySte, how good are the effects in the M13? From what I've seen of it uptill now, everything is just about perfect. It seems to be very easy to use, has a massive amount of classic presets and, if I understand correctly, the option to adjust what you don't like. Plus, it seems to be built...

    Gnomeratron VTF - a nasty muff with blend: prototype review

    Cool stuff! That thing sounds great where I thought I didn't like Muff's. Eventually I'm going to have to get me one I think, money is tight though for another couple of weeks... Is the first run sold yet? You plan on feeding demand with new output or could this be a temporary thing...

    Should I get an M13 or an M9

    This is interesting! Very nice vid, thanks for posting. I'm curious about the other unit in that youtube vid. He uses the m9 plus something else that looks rather multifx. Looks familiair but can't find what it is just now. So my guess is the one compliments the other and therefor might be...

    going to extreames to put on a memorable show.

    The fact that you are thinking about this now makes it allready rehearsed and probably fake according to your standards. I can totally see how you can get caught up in the moment and hurt yourself smashing into the drum kit or jumping of something but the way you talk about this makes it sound...

    Fender Rumble 100 or Fender Bassman 100

    Always thought the Bassman combo version was called Bassman Ten and had 4x10" speakers. I have used a Bassman 100 head with several cabinets/combinations and was always very pleased with it's sound and vibe. Very cool and classic choice I would say. Eventually it had to make room for...

    Pressurized speaker cabinet.

    Thing is, if I buy it it has to cross the Swiss border. I can see how customs might think of it as a large container for illegal substances and would want to take a look inside....

    Pressurized speaker cabinet.

    Hi all, I am seriously considering buying a pressurized speaker cabinet. A Burman 4x12 to be precise. Now, I know nothing about the why and how of pressurized cabs but what would happen if I take a speaker out? Is the whole effect that comes from pressurizing ruined then? I do not plan to...

    The battle of the 412s

    Seriously? Do you mean they do not determine or not effect tone? I am no engineer so what do I know but I cannot imagine that for instance a couple of 8" units can sound the same as an 18" unit provided their overall cone surface and magnet specs etc are the same. That's hardly a do-able...

    "White" Gibson Grabber G1

    Thanks Coreyfyfe, to bad the pics are dead, would love to have seen one. The silverburst sounded very promising also! Anyway, I know now that white is supposed to be actual white as in painted white, not transparent with a white guard. That makes the bass I've seen for sale a very common...

    "White" Gibson Grabber G1

    Hi all, Does anybody out here know anything about a "white" version of the old (70's) Gibson Grabber? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Someone is selling a Grabber, satin transparent maple with a white pickguard as being a rare "white" version. Not that the rare-ness is very important...

    Fender Custom Shop Calendar Basses

    Googling got me a whole bunch of Custom Shop instruments for around 3000/3500 Usd. I think if you want something special that's not in the catalogue you might have to ad some waiting time to that but I don't see why a custom order would be more expensive than 3500. Although that's a lot of...

    Fender Custom Shop Calendar Basses

    I've talked about this with a Fender rep ones and, although I can't remember exactly how much he said it would be, it sure wasn't excessive. I'm pretty sure it was sort of the same amount you would spend at a custom bass from another luthier and for a moment there I seriously considered it. In...

    How to get my '76 Thunderbird to cut through?

    Say God :D, is that 190 usd for two pups? Is the difference big compared to the Lull's? Having thought about it, I would really like to swap pups rather than pump up the signal later. Just seems better some how. I would like to keep the stock pups original though so I can swap them back at...
