Can you solder? If so I can send you an identical jack to replace it with.

This is very public spirited of you Angus. I am v. impressed.

 

[Angus]

Just trying to help a brother out!

Jeff and I go way back.

So, bottom line. Are you guys saying my VB4 fretless lined was possibly at NAMM and worse some clown may have been playing it? Can you tell I'm anxious?

I have the same question, TWICE (and both Vinny-related). Having ordered in June, the timing of a mid-January NAMM is too much to bear. Anxious here also.

Since Vinnys are direct sale only, they most likely would not bring it to NAMM

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Mine is a few months past due but my bass buds tell me this is how the world of custom basses goes - regardless of builder.

 

[Angus]

They would have told you if they brought it to the NAMM show.

 

[earsmack]

They would have told you if they brought it to the NAMM show.

Also good to know. Thanks!

New to the custom bass world!

Here's a link to a working version of a new song done by our new prog-rock-type band. The song is entitled "Lost In The Thick Of It" and Copyright 2011: Andro Kotula, Raymond Powers, Robert Nichols, Sonny Ericson.

Played through Tecamp Puma, Tecamp M212, Roland SDE2500 (at times) and it gets more going at about the 1-minute mark....

There were some photos posted here of the Zon booth and I did not see any VBs. A couple of years ago, when I was waiting for my VB5, Martin Peters at Zon told me that the shop was very busy after the NAMM show fulfilling orders that were placed at NAMM. My VB5 took from July to May.

That's funny Alastair, I didn't have to wait that long for your VB5.

And I didn't have to wait that long for the TJ5!

How exactly did you record the bass on this track? What microphone did you use?

 

[Angus]

So much easier to go direct!

 

[earsmack]

Thanks all. I ordered in June or July. Last I heard they were waiting on electronics. I'm hoping "any time now."

We used the direct-out from the Puma. Post eq and loop as I have my effects in the loop including a true bypass pedal so when effects aren't in use....less is lost.

 

[Angus]

What effects did you use? I didn't hear any.

Direct made sense, though- it sounded like direct but you listed the 212, so it was confusing.

For the first 3:30 minutes...until the feel-change, I am using a chorus from the Roland SDE2500...not a preset!

Sorry about the confusion...should have stated I went direct.

Since you mentioned the TecAmp M212, I thought that you might also have miced the cab. I like the part after 123567... the best. The TJ works!
