Gibson Basses / Anyone seen this bass before..., or got one... ?
« on: July 04, 2009, 08:21:03 AM »
Very recently I could add to my collection, a bass which was on my wishlist a long time. I knew the Scroll guitar series from Epiphone (Prince played one) and knew that they made just ONE bass within it: The Double Scroll. It took me about a half year to find it somewere in the world. Finaly succeeded in Texas. The axe is from 1976, in superb condition and original.
It's got two splitcoil humbuckers and a toil cap switch.

They are so rarely seen, I was wandering if someone could come up with some more information. There's very little on the internet.
The only serious info is this: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=190270840&albumId=130452

Here's all the sound possibility's:

The Bass Zone / Pre-amp-pedal use in the loop...
« on: December 28, 2008, 12:59:52 AM »
I was wondering if I would do any harm to my amp, if I connect a pre-amp (tri-logic from Xotic) in the loop, between the pre-amp-out and the power-amp-in. it's an Ampeg V4-BH.

I'm alway's searching for sounds, and this came to my mind. So would it do any harm in try'n?

The Bass Zone / This bass really cut's through....!!!
« on: November 09, 2008, 02:37:07 AM »
A while back I was drivin'n my car, and on the radio came a song of the sixties. I wass stunded about the active bass line and compression from the sound; this is a WAW!
Altough I knew this song since I was a kid (it even was a Dutch band), it never came to me like it did now. You probably now it too!

Here's a YT link for you. Enyou, but first set up your volume!

The Bass Zone / Low B on a 4-string bass
« on: October 22, 2008, 12:49:35 PM »
I was wondering... i'm a big fan of low bass sounds.
Would I do any harm to my 4-string basses ('70 one's) when I use the 4 lower strings from a 5-set, put them on and tune them into B-E-A-D?
Doing so, I think I might be able to catch the lowest of the lowest in my bluesrock sound.

Someone an opinion?

Here's my Fender gear:

Fender JB, 1972. Imported from the USA a while ago... the custom paint is very old nice imo. Original hardware and electronics. My favorite to play!



Fender PB, 1972. Originally CAR, someone painted it FR. Original hardware and electronics.



Got some other gear on the gibson and rick forum.

See Ya!
