  1. I've had one of these pedals for quite a few years. Initially I bought it for live use, which it's great for, but it's proved great for studio stuff. If anyone's into re-amping, this pedal is very useful. I also use mine for my headphone setup at home because it sounds really nice: Bass > Tonebone > Audio Interface > win!
  2. I have only played the regular TRB's, but I've always been very impressed by the low B on them. It's definitely worth a try based on that alone, although I haven't tried the exact model you're talking about.
  3. just make sure you don't run your flux capacitor out of phase or it will end with a big bang and lots of tears.
  4. [quote name='RichF' post='1282924' date='Jun 26 2011, 12:07 PM']I just picked up a custom barge concepts double blend double looper (two loops, two blend settings per loop + variable z) from Mark on here. it is amazing. So +1 for Barge Concepts.[/quote] That sounds like a great pedal. I could really do with something like that for my board.
  5. [url="http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vfb1.html"]Barge Concepts[/url] The VFB can be picked up pretty cheap and it won't muck up your tone, it does just what it's meant to do. The feedback loop is an interesting part of the pedal, if you've got a fuzz and a delay in the loop you can get some great feedback tones.

    In 10 years of owning a TU2 it never occurred to me that it could be used as a signal splitter. That's quite a handy thing to bare in mind when putting together a pedal board
  7. [quote name='fatgoogle' post='1271370' date='Jun 16 2011, 01:05 PM']If you google Jenny Lee Lindberg theres rather a good pic of eh.. some parts.[/quote] that stuff isn't suitable for people who browse BC in work, but it's a fiiiine picture.
  8. Sold some strings to Mr H. Fast and easy transaction, pleasure doing business with you
  9. Sold a strap to Derrick. Pleasure to do business with. Many thanks
  10. Sold a strap to Tom. Fast payment, easy and friendly transaction. Many thanks
  11. [quote name='fatgoogle' post='1266456' date='Jun 12 2011, 07:03 PM']Yamaha TRB 1005.[/quote] +1 I appreciate you specifically said 'new' in the OP, but you should be able to find these second hand for £400-£500. The low B is outstanding. I have a 6 string TRB and I've found it to be great bass all round, I couldn't recommend those TRB low B's enough!
  12. Levy's straps gone and D'Addario strings gone! Machine heads, Bass Centre comfort strap and Straploks still available. Open to offers.
  13. Red! I think it's got a particularly nice flame on it, which makes the depth of the colour look great
  14. [quote name='dougal' post='1247222' date='May 27 2011, 03:35 PM']How [b]could [/b]you leave out: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Line-Fever-Lemmy-Autobiography/dp/067103331X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306506859&sr=8-1"][/url] Also excellent read. I've got Keith's autobiography on my bedside table that I keep meaning to start too.[/quote] That's one of the next ones on my list to read I spotted it on Amazon the other day for £4.50.
  15. [quote name='Norris' post='1245416' date='May 26 2011, 11:51 AM']That's a very good read. More downs than ups, but then that's probably likely when you have had a serious habit like that.[/quote] It's a bit pain staking towards the end of reading it when he's continuously relapsing! But it is a very good read I find his upbringing quite fascinating. My girlfriend takes the piss out of me for only reading biographies about musicians with drug problems, but on that note, Motley Crue - The Dirt, The Nikki Sixx Heroin Diaries and Slash autobiographies make for great reading.
  16. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1245272' date='May 26 2011, 10:01 AM']Bless Norwood. There are loads of bands that were improved by the use of drugs - look at the sh*t the 'clean' Chili Peppers are putting out these days.[/quote] Keidis had been off smack for 3 years when they recorded Blood Sugar Sex Magik (although he did relapse within a couple of years after). Supposedly Flea and Frusciante were smoking a fair bit of weed around that time. From what I gather Chad has never been interested in drugs, although it's always the quiet ones BSSM is arguably their best album, it's certainly what got their name out there, and I'd say their drug use around that time isn't prolific at all. Although, that's not to say their drug use didn't have an impact on their approach to music. But Freaky Style on the other hand? Now there's a drug induced album if ever there was one. Californication is another interesting one for the "drug influenced" idea, because Frusciante was on the back end of a very long heroin addiction and Keidis was dabbling with the stuff all around that time. I'm having a bit of a RHCP relapse at the moment. Just got done reading Keidis' autobiography and I've watched the Funky Monks documentary a couple of times in recent weeks because I love that geeky stuff!
  17. I'd be interested to have a play with one of these. Although as others have mentioned, the size is potentially a downfall. The regular whammys weigh a bit too, so I can only imagine this weighs considerably more. The momentary switch seems like a great idea. I'm not sure about the down tuning features. Do many people even use the down tuning part of the regular whammy? Perhaps it's better suited to guitary peoples. Why don't they just bring back the bass whammy?
  18. It would help your sale if you posted in the right part of the forum
  19. I had a bit of a disappointing EITS experience at the 10 Years of ATP event a couple of years ago. They played on the biggest stage and I really don't think it suited them at all. I imagine they'd be much better suited to smaller more intimate venues.
  20. Anyone want my tickets? I'll do you a deal. £200 for the pair. bargain.
  21. Don't feed the troll!
  22. I appreciate that it can be a hassel to send instruments but it will massively increase your chances of shifting this bass quickly. There's a lot of info about posting basses safely on this forum, it's worth having a search.
