I've got 2 cases that I don't need anymore, both have been well looked after. I'm based in Bristol and would prefer collection or meet 1/2 way for these cases. I can send them, but we'll have to figure something out there as and when. Diago Tourman Pedalboard [b]£80[/b] - Excellent condition. This pedal board is surplus to requirements as I've down scaled my pedal addiction. It's seen 3 gigs and numerous band practices. Always well looked after. I think I have some of the original (and unused) velcro for it too. There is a scuff across the front of it but it isn't deep, it's just a light scuff that isn't down to the wood. Hopefully it's visible in the pics below: You can see the feint scuff across the top of the case here, it runs just over the diago logo (although the logo isn't scuffed). Please excuse the dust! The case will be cleaned and vacuumed inside! There is a dent in the foam in the top of the case on the left hand side, shown here. It's not deep though and doesn't effect the case. Hiscox Liteflight Standard Bass Case [b]£40[/b] - Excellent condition again. This case hasn't seen any gig action, just a few band practices. It's been used for storage more than anything else. There are a few light scuffs on the case but they're too small to take pics of. There's a few stickers on the case, I thought I had some sticker remover stuff but I can't find it! I should be able to get rid of them in the next day or two once i buy some more sticker remover. I also have the key for the case to lock one of the latches. Pics below: Any questions please PM me Thanks, Ed

The Maplin one sounds ideal, but it's not gonna do that annoying thing where you can't really plug things in next to it on a 4-way is it? That would be a problem!

Is this the one you mentioned Kev? I see there's a few on there. [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43055"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43055[/url]

That looks ideal, thanks Kev. It's a shame I placed an order with Maplin only 2 days ago and I was wondering what I could add to it to get free delivery

Where's the best place to acquire a replacement power supply for a Digitech Whammy? I've had a search on the forum but couldn't see anything. I imagine this is quite a popular question since Digitech have been so awkward in making a power supply specifically for this pedal. Ed

Unfortunately we're still experiencing some technical difficulties on the Sound Unlimited website today. The office phone lines are still a go-go as usual so if we can be of any help in the meantime please call 01752 265 312. We can still operate Google Checkout and Paypal for invoices whilst the site is down. Thanks, Ed

Thanks! It looks like the site should be back up at around 4pm. In the mean time if I can be of any help just PM me.

Hi BlueFalcon, I work for Sound Unlimited. We're just having some temporary website issues! We'll be back online shortly.

[quote name='umph' post='600615' date='Sep 16 2009, 07:13 PM']do you mind me asking why the middle position? you'd be much better off replacing the input or the phase splitter valve![/quote] I've been meaning to try it in different positions. I don't know a whole lot about the tech side of valve amps. The reason it's in the middle is because when it was serviced the pre-amp valve in the middle position was showing up as a bit weak.

[b]SOLD![/b] 12/11/09 [b]Back up for sale! £750. I used it for some studio work a couple of weeks ago and it sounded FAT! I also had it serviced the other day as I ran it pretty hard in the studio - it's all in tip top condition I've decided to make it free fully insured shipping on this one, but I'm keeping this sale UK only. [/b] [s][b]17/09/09 - I'm putting the sale of this amp on hold. I've just found out I've got some session work in a few weeks that this amp will be great for. Depending on my money situation, it might be back up for sale after then.[/b][/s] This is such a stunning amp and I find it painful to have to do this but I need the dollar, so something's gotta go. My Gallien Krueger with Rusty Box pre-amp suits what I'm doing at the moment. So here goes... Orange AD200B mk3, roughly 18 months old, well looked after, decent quality fitted padded cover included. Re-valved the output in January this year and put an old Philips 12AT7 in the middle position of the pre-amp. This has just made the gain a little smoother, the amp sounds a bit more old-school for it but you can still get those very aggressive "Converge" tones from it when the gain is cranked. I had the amp serviced and biased by a professional (I can supply the invoice/notes from the service). It's currently at my practice place but I can get pics of it tomorrow when I bring it home. It's in immaculate condition. I think I still even have the original box! You're welcome to collect. I'd prefer bank transfer or cheque, I don't mind paypal but please add 3% to the price if you want to use that. PM me any questions. Ed

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='588461' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:43 AM']A special prize does have to go to my Yamaha TRB4. They can be picked up for next to nothing and are just brilliant in every respect - apart from being in any way 'cool'. Much underrated.[/quote] +1. They're cracking basses, I got a 6 string TRB1006 recently. It's so.. playable! My favourite is my Streamer Stage 1. Light weight, bites through the mix, P & J pickups, down-tunes well and is a pleasure to play. That ticks all the boxes for me!

I've seen them a few times but the most memorable was at the Brixton Academy when they'd just released their self titled album, I remember feeling blown away by the intensity of that gig. They can be such a full-on live act when they're in the right venue!

[quote name='arabassist' post='583309' date='Aug 28 2009, 10:34 AM']No prob. hasn't Chino Moreno lost a bit of weight too? ^_^ [url="http://content.velvethammer.net/deftones/defkorea/image.jpg"]http://content.velvethammer.net/deftones/defkorea/image.jpg[/url][/quote] haha! Yeah looks like he has. I saw them at wembley arena a few years ago and he looked like he'd been busy with pies.

I'm not sure, they blog a fair bit on their myspace so it might be worth having a glance there. Chi's been in a coma for 10 months now

Haven't done this in a while, here's my current setup. Even though there's quite a few pedals there the signal chain is pretty clean because the TU2 is in the 'tuner out' of the EB volume, then it's compressor > rusty box > bass drive > barge loop (and the top row of the board are all in the barge loop in order from right to left). I'm really chuffed with this setup, I'm getting a lot of sounds out of it. The Rusty Box and the Bass Octave Deluxe are my latest purchases and they feel almost essential to my sound already.

I heard Primus and thought "You can do that with a bass? I want a go!"... never looked back.

Traynor do a slightly cheaper alternative to the AD200. I think it's called the YBA200 but if I remember rightly they're a bugger to get hold of. Might be worth looking into though. Although it has to be said, you get what you pay for with meaty valve amps.

[quote name='jmesa' post='561948' date='Aug 6 2009, 01:28 PM']That Sausage album is probably my fave out of everything he's done. Brutal bass sound!!! Siiick!!![/quote] Sausage were awesome! "Riddles are abound tonight" is a must have album for any Primus fans. They made this funky video for the title track from that album: [url="http://www.esnips.com/doc/a2c8aa60-2c3e-4618-8092-c931c0fba1b1"]http://www.esnips.com/doc/a2c8aa60-2c3e-46...92-c931c0fba1b1[/url] Side One by Adrian Belew is quite cool, it features Claypool on bass and Danny Carey from Tool on drums. It's certainly nothing on the weirdness of Primus but it's cool to hear Claypool and Carey playing together, plus Adrian Belew is a wicked player.
