The Reverend Club (Part 5)

Tim: post pix of all those, please?

Bart: what strings are on the BH5?

thx-alan

Dee-man:
TI's are too low tension for my taste, but I play hard.
LaBellas, in my opinion, go on P basses.


Expect to do a full setup with any change of strings that aren't same brand/same guage.
Tension will change, saddle height will change, intonation will change.
Full setup.

I'll do what I can to find them, but I lost a bunch of old bass photos some time back.

Everytime I saw Bartman's avatar I thought it was my old one - I recognized the swirl pattern.

I got it from Bovinehost at the dudpit.

TI Superalloys (nickel rounds). I'm pretty sure you'll want to change them, but I liked them on there. Not as bright as stainless (which for some reason sounded funky -- I thought I'd like it but didn't), but still bright enough to have some snap. I tried flats once on the BH and didn't care for it.

 

[Chef]

From Bovinehost?
Dang, I've seen this bass around for a looong time then.

Bart: we'll see....never had those.

 

[Dee-man]

Thanks guys. I have the TI flats on my fender jazz, so I think I'll give the DA chromes (the SLs) a spin. And thanks for the money back satisfaction guarantee, Chef!

Too bad I have to do a full set up. I'm very incompetent with that kinda stuff. Just ask my wife.

Happy halloween, DM

 

[Chef]

Deeman: pm me when you get the strings. I can talk you down over the phone.

Question - I'm one of those people who prefer black pickup covers over white ones. Will standard Fender covers (bridge and neck or bridge/bridge or neck/neck??) work as a replacement on the Kent Armstrong J's on my incoming Rumblefish XL? Or do I need to stick to Kent Armstrong covers? If so, anyone want to sell me a black cover set or swap for white ones?

Thanks in advance!

[Dee-man]

Gee, thanks Chef. Very kind offer indeed. I may well take you up on it.

Lord knows what damage I've wreaked over the years by not doing this before.

I might be interested in a swap, if the specs match. We'll need to do some measuring.

 

[Chef]

Standard Fender covers will not fit.
At least that's what Joe Naylor told me when I asked.
I can't address the Armstrong ones.

 

[Chef]

fwiw:
I believe Bartman's BH5 was indeed the one Bovinehost used to have.
I remember when I first saw that thing; it was the first Reverend I'd ever seen or heard of; way back in the orginal Dudepit forum days...

fwiw:
here's where I first saw this bass...maybe.
I may have seen it over at the orignal Dudepit first, but it's been on my radar for many, many years:

That's it. Fun story how it found its way to you after all this time.

bovinehost is still an active member; i'll have to pm him...

Since we've been talking about string gauge recently.... Has anyone ever put anything between the nut and the string to raise the string a hair? I accidently bought some standard length strings a while back. The only string that doesn't fit is the B on my 5L. I broke a string Saturday night, and see that set sitting there gathering dust...... Any suggestions?

 

[Chef]

I've added height to nut slots with baking powder and super glue.
You can pull the nut, and shim it from underneath.

 

[matrok]

baking powder and super glue, interesting.

Tell him hello for me - been a long time since I've spoken with him.

Greetings from the North,

Holy ....! Blink and the whole pond changes. I saw the dorsal fins circling but missed the frenzy lol. Congrats to all those that got a good chomp.

Hey Chef can you tell the difference?

Happy Times,
Rezdog

 

[Chef]

I'll let y'all know on Thursday, if tracking holds steady and the creek don't rise


(I love that you start every post with "Greetings from the North!")
ps: I know I've asked, but, who's your avatar?
