    My only suggestion would be that if you think you can get mroe money on ebay for it, then thats exactly what you should do. Wheres the community spirit eh! we're basically beating inflation with this place!

    Yup.[/quote]


    Yup +1
    ...I'm truly staggered to see this....I know without exception that the Jazz Re-Issue i got of a certain Mr Cougar would without doubt have gone for more on Evil Bay.....I think this is a bit poor really...

    Feelers out - Ibanez BTB6 Natural FS/FT...revised with Pics

    Afternoon one & All,

    Just a feeler at this stage really, toe in the water so to speak!

    Bought this rather splendid 6-er off Gaff a while back and it is a truly gorgeous bass, natural finish and near as dammit mint...one slight bump to top of body, but nothing to cause concern. Sounds awesome and plays like a dream.

    Reason for possible trade/sale is that I'm just not using it that much and if someone else can get more use out of it then so much the better...

    not sure what it's worth to anyone in terms of sale or trade so let me know if your interested. Would be keen to look at a precision or warwick, or a nice fretless maybe....pretty much anything ....although I will have to draw the line at figurines of Take That crafted from Marzipan!!!! :) :huh:

    Cheers

    Matt

    [quote name='Willl' post='157976' date='Mar 15 2008, 02:19 PM']Possibly (subject to scraping together funds for a good lightweight replacement) I'm looking at selling my Trace Elliot Head.

    It's an AH300-12 GP12.

    The launch material from March 1999 says it's:

    * 300 watt head.
    * Valve/solid state preamp section.
    * 12 band graphic EQ.
    * Harmonic Emphasis.
    * Switchable, variable valve gain.
    * Switchable pre-shape curve.
    * Noise reduction.
    * Dual compressor.
    * Electro-luminescent front panel.
    * Full range effects loop.
    * Pre/post EQ balanced DI Outputs.
    * Tuner Output.
    * Fan cooled.

    There is so much written elsewhere about the Trace Elliot sound that I wont wax lyrical about it here. For me it's been a cracking amp for a loud rock and punky covers band playing through a mix of 4x10 and Trace 18" cabs. The cover is the TE green carpet style. It's been super reliable over the last 3 years after (just after I got it) I had GMAudio repair a failed output FET and fully service it.

    I'm looking to go lightweight and take advantage of the band's growing PA so it's time for this to go...
    I was asked if it could be rack mounted, and yes I think it can, and although I don't have any rack ears, the AH500 and AH1000 from the same range came in RAH (Rack mounted) form, so they're probably available somewhere. I've included a picture to show the tapped mounting holes in the side of the casing ready for the ears.

    Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best.

    It's in corking condition other than one missing EQ slider cover (highlighted in one of the photos below). I do have the optional 5 way footswitch to go with it which switches Pre-shape, Graphic, Valve, Compression and Effects Loop.

    I'm looking for as close to £300 as I can get, including Footswitch not including shipping. It weighs enough to prefer pickup.

    Thanks

    [quote name='Bassmouseman' post='136733' date='Feb 8 2008, 05:45 PM']For sale is my Trace Elliot GP12 SMX 4x10 with Tweeter Combo here are some specs:

    Output 280w RMS 580w Peak
    Single input w/active or passive switch
    Blend knob for solid-state or tube

    It is one of the older amps from before the takeover I think 1995
    I have had the amp from new and it has always served me well and never let me down.
    I have had it serviced regularly and have kept it in the best possible condition.
    Reason for sale is that I have moved into a upstairs flat and can't get it up the stairs on my own (its quite heavy at 50kg)
    Pick up only.

    Tutor in / around Leicester - Six String Bass

    in Tutors Available

    Posted

    Hi,

    Just got myself a 6 String Ibanez ( the one Gafbass was selling recently) and although I have been playing 4 strings for 20 years, I need someone to teach me how to get the most out of my new aquisition.

    I can't read music and am self taught so I'm sure i have loads of bad habits, however I would really appreciate someone taking me through the new spectrum this instrument opens.

    Please get back to me if you'd be intrested in sharing your wisdom....for a price obviously!

    Cheers

    For Sale - Replica Fender Custom Shop 62

    [quote name='Sibob' post='36317' date='Jul 24 2007, 12:04 PM']So where are the parts from??

    Si[/quote]

    Si,

    Pick up Cover, Ashtray Bridge Cover, Thumb Rest, 3 ply Scratchplate, Bridge - All are genuine Fender Parts.

    Pick Ups, These are not branded but are 6.4k "Jazz " PUPS - They sound really good and have a really good range of sounds - Please have a listen to the tracks on

    www.myspace.com/shortwavefade

    These were all recorded using this Bass in March / April this year at Animal Farm studios in Bermondsey using this bass with the exception of Anything To Anyone, which was done on my Geddy Lee.

    I was told the Neck was an All Parts neck, but to be honest I cannot say 100% if this is the case or not, it certainly plays very well and is true and straight, Fits the Neck pocket of the body perfectly with no gaps.
    The Body is Alder and Korean origin. Again i would rate it on Par with top end MIM stock and the Daphne Blue finish is superb.

    Please rest assured I am not trying to pull a fast one here..I am simply getting rid of this as I have left the band due to family commitments...( 4 year old and the arrival of Twin boys 12 weeks ago!! ) so this is going.

    Thanks
    Matt
