	I have a 1984 Carvin bass for sale.  I'm not sure of the exact model,
it's an LB40 or something like that.  I bought it new and it has about 20 
playing hours on it, it is in absolutely mint condition.  Some features:

	- all black finish/chrome hardware
	- ebony fretboard
	- one double coil pickup, switchable to single coil operation
	- 1 vol, 1 tone control
	- nice Carvin hardshell case 
	- neck is set (glued, not bolted) in 

It is a really nice bass, and with today's prices for junk foreign guitars, I
think it's a pretty good deal.  I would like to get $380.

Apparently, alt.sources won't accept my big Postscript file.  So,
anyone who wants the bass amp plans should contact me directly
and I'll mail 'em to you.  Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can
figure out how to send this to kappa.rice.edu.

Sorry about all the trouble.

                  A HOME-MADE BASS AMPLIFIER

                       Francis J. Deck
                 fdeck@grumpy.helios.nd.edu


I have designed and built a compact one-piece bass amp, using a
combination of surplus, free sample, and mail-order components.
I have been gigging with the amp for well over a year now, with
no breakdowns or other surprises.  A postscript file containing
the schematics has been sent to the newsgroup alt.sources.

*    Power is 80 W into 8 Ohms.  With a larger power supply and
     heat sink, 150 W could be obtained.

*    Preamp has volume, bass, and treble controls.  It also has a
     built-in compressor/limiter which is adjusted to prevent
     clipping in the power amplifier.

*    Amplifier is built into speaker cabinet.  The speaker is a
     12" Pyle Driver in a very small closed box made of 3/4"
     birch veneer plywood.

I find the sound quality to be excellent.  It would be described
as "tight" or perhaps "punchy."  It is certainly as good as any
commercial amp (of course I'm biased).

The design is somewhat radical for a couple of reasons.  The
first is that there are no discrete semiconductors (e.g.
transistors) in the circuit.  Indeed, the entire signal path,
from input to speakers is accomplished with exactly four chips!
This vastly simplified the circuit design, and reduced the time
it took me to build it.  The speakers are driven by a pair of
National Semiconductor LM12 power op amps, which brings me to the
second point:  I decided to build a "bridging" amplifier, though
such a design is typically reserved for amplifiers with much
higher power, or for low-end car radios.

The point of all of this is that it_can_be_done!  I learned that
there is nothing mysterious or even subtle about designing a
bass amp.  Now, I don't expect everyone to go out and build their
own amplifiers.  Frankly, such an endeavor is not economically
justified unless one can obtain most of the parts for free, as I
did.  However, individual components of the system, e.g. the
preamp/limiter board, might be useful to some people, so I make
the design available to anyone who wants it.

 Hello.  Going back and looking thru the 1993 bass buyers guide, I noticed
a bass (made by Hohner - the JBFL) because of it's fingerboard -  phenolic.
This really impresses me.   Isn't this the highly expensive  material only
found on Zon and  Steinberger basses  (or a few others over $2,000)?  This
bass is  only $439!!   Although it does  come with  passive electronics (2
single-coil  Jazz  pickups) this  still seems  like a  good deal!   Is the
idea of this anything like the Zon Sonus - a new Jazz bass for the 90s? 

 Has anyone heard or tried one of these things?  Or have any opinions on it?
If so, I'd really like to hear them.  I'm just curious if this is really as
good of deal as it sounds.

 Thanx for your time!

 Jaco Pastorius, who used a fretless  Fender Jazz Bass, used Roto Sound RS 66
strings.   I can't say I really like the sound of flatwound very much.   It's
okay for somethings, though.  
 The fretless sound that I live for is more of the Michael Manring type sound
(on the Zon Hyperbass - Michael uses D'Addario XL220s,  Nickel Round Wounds). 
It has an extremely bright,  very punchy sound - I'm not  really sure how  to
describe it, being so unique.  Very few artists  use that type of  sound that
I've heard.  I suppose the lighter guage (which XL220s are) would be a little
nicer to one's  fingerboard, but would  still chew it up  pretty badly  after
time.  I guess that's when you buy a new bass.  Oh well...

Here's the gist/chords of Can't Always Get What You Want 
by the Rolling Stones...

(Please note I make NO guarantees about the words, I'm doing this on the fly,
but it should be enough to get you started.  Besides, I don't I ever really
knew the words :o )

It's best to listen to a recording to get the strumming pattern...


(In the key of C)


C                           F 
   I saw her today at the reception
C                         F
   A glass of wine in her hand
C                                   F 
   I knew she was going to meet her connection
C                              F                   
   At her feet was a footloose man

Chorus:

C                                  F
(No) you can't always get what you want

C                             F
You can't always get what you want

D
But if you try sometime, 

F
you might find

                 C                      F                    etc...
You get what you need...                yeah, yeah.....


BTW, If you are still at the point where an F chord if gruesome, then go ahead
and just play in the key of D (play D instead of C, G instead of F, and E 
instead of D in the chorus).  I did it that way when I was first learning the
guitar.

Hope this works and sorry for any mistakes or misjudgements.

The tab for this would be really cool as the song really isn't strummmed...
...anyone?

The Allman Brothers song is called, "Revival," and is on the album,
"The Allman Brothers-Iydlewild South."

You can use any three-chord progression you want.  Try A , D , E or
even better E , A , B , .

Strum these chords this many times, and listen to the song to help you
out-
E A A A-B B E and just repeat these like in the song, you'll get the
feel and sound if you try hard enough, besides I don't have chordpro
or any program to write this out

Someone also requested "Ripple" by the Dead, it is in the key of F.
Start out with F for the beginning
F Bflat C Bflat G Dminor these are chords I can thiink of off the top

Vera, here's what you call "at least the chord listing" ;-).
If anybody's not familiar with the notations, he're the structure of the song:
Play first verse until the ":||", that means go to the "||:", and
play second verse (lyrics not included but starts with "see you've sent
my letters back..", but skip the "* first verse only" section and go directly
to "second verse and &". Play til you see "D. & al Coda" meaning go back to
the "&" sign, this would be "guess you'd call it suicide.." in the song, again
skip the "* first verse only" and go directly to "second verse and &" but this
time go to "Coda" at the measure annotated with "To Coda". Each measure is
by the way indicated by the "|" signs. Good luck, Ameen.

Tough, you'll get a response anyway...:)  I would type it in for you, but I 
haven't attempted posting any tab yet, and I doen't think that right now is
the best time for me to start, but if you can get a hold of a copy of the July
1992 edition of Guitar School magazine, they have the song with bass tablature
included...

I found this tune on nevada, but the chords for the verses are actually:

	Cm7      Bb6      Ab6       G7
    EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE
fr  818888   xx8786   xx6564   353433
     0

Small detail, but it was printed in Guitar FTPM a long time ago....
