  1. Yes I posted the gumtree ad at the same time as the original post, so back in October, hence the new pics a few posts up (which are the same as the ones posted on gumtree. PM me if you want to try it out, we can arrange a time.
  2. One more try for Christmas bump. Open to offers, particularly for cheap electric gu!tars with humbuckers, or electro-acoustics. Anything else, feel free to offer. [attachment=95082:P9270004.JPG] [attachment=95083:P9270006.JPG]

  6. [QUOTE] I lent one of these to friend about 2 years ago and he had it nicked from the cab of his transit in Yorkshire. [/QUOTE] Thanks! Ironically I've moved on to a Squier, not a boxed one but a Tele custom with the P90s. Very nice. You don't remember the serial number of yours I suppose? This one was found in a cash converters so it's not inconceivable...
  7. Hi there, This may be one of those questions that lots of people want asked but are afraid to themselves for fear of looking stupid, or just a stupid question. God bless the anonymity of the net for avoiding social embarassment for one's ignorance. Here goes: What exactly constitutes a 'preamp'? Thinking literally, is it just anything that I do to my signal before it gets to the power amp, so potentially my whole guitar tone pots - pedal board - input gain - eq setup? Is it specifically a tone-shaping stage before it gets amplified, so I could just point to my (for example) Boss GEB-7 and ODB-3 and say that they comprise my pre-amp? As far as I can tell it can be attached to the guitar, contained within a pedal, or the initial few knobs of the amp head, but what defines what is, and what is not, a preamp? Thanks!
  8. I use one (occasionally) on my bass, and it works absolutely fine - like the chaps say it works on the volume not the frequencies. I bought it over the Boss because it has the variable wave shape as well as square and triangle mode switch, more flexibility which really makes a difference in getting exactly the sound you want. If only it had a tap tempo it would be perfect - unfortunately I know of only the Line 6 and Seymour Duncan that have one without being ridiculously expensive.
  9. Thanks for the tip. Where are you based, definitely too far away for a handover?
  10. One more bump. Not keen to ebay this. It's a great starter guitar. Make an offer if you're umming and aahing...
  11. [size=4]Yamaha's take on a tele for sale for a bargain of £75 for basschatters. It's a nice looking, simple reliable guitar that is perfect for beginners or as a backup axe. Similar sound options to a regular tele (same pickup configuration) but a bit smoother perhaps. A little lighter and slinkier than a fender/squier tele shape.[/size] [size=4]Pics available at the gumtree where its also for sale, basschat discount applies![/size] [size=4][url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-pacifica-102s-tele-style-guitar/88756146"]http://www.gumtree.c...guitar/88756146[/url][/size] [size=4]There is one scratch on the body (not shown on the pics, forgot about it). Sound/playing not affected at all and at this price you're not looking for an immaculate, brand-new guitar (or if you are, good luck!).[/size] [size=4]Pick up only though, as the gig bag really isn't up to being posted. Viewing/playing welcome.[/size]
  12. Bump. Now also for sale on ebay, but Basschat discounts apply!
  13. Hi there, got a few pedals for sale: [s]Marshall Guv'nor 2 overdrive/distortion, the new shiny silvery one. A really nice sounding pedal, classic overdrive tones and pretty good on the bass too with plenty of low end via the 4-band eq controls. [b] £30 posted to you.[/b] A bit scuffed and no box, but perfect working order.[/s] - Withdrawn, sounds too nice on the guitar! SOLD ON EBAY: [s]Boss BF-3 Flanger pedal, with bass and guitar modes, tap tempo and 4 types of flange (Standard BF-2, Ultra, Gate/Pan and Momentary), stereo outputs and the regular flange controls (rate, depth, feedback and resonance). You can get some nice chorusy sounds as well as dark deep flange, a really good versatile pedal of Boss quality.[b] £50 posted[/b]. In its box with instructions, v. good condition.[/s] SOLD ON EBAY: [s]Aphex Guitar Exciter - everyone knows what the bass one does, gives you extra zing or thump from a box of magical tone fairies. This does the same thing for guitar, and also works reasonably well for enlivening your bass sound. Unfortunately it is not in perfect condition, as the cheap box and switches mean that while it works perfectly well when activated, the footswitch doesn't properly engage the bypass mode, so it is either on and sounds great, or you get only a tiny little sound that is good for nothing. However, bearing in mind that this is the type of pedal you won't turn off too often once you've set it, a knock-down price of [b]£35 posted [/b]seems like a potential bargain to me![/s] Feel free to offer trades: I'm looking mainly for a decent compressor, or a rich deep chorus (think CE-5 or similar rather than CEB-3). Plus cash either way as appropriate of course. Pictures can be supplied if requested, or stock photos are freely available on t'internet. Bank transfers, cash on collection or paypal all fine by me.
  14. Had a good deal selling a GT6B to Marti, easy to deal with, reliable and kept in touch. Thanks. Andy
  15. [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1324900' date='Aug 2 2011, 09:16 PM']Do you mind me asking what sort of music you play? I've thought about doing the same as I don't get on with 5ers but love the fretted low E. Cheers Blademan[/quote] Likewise, I enjoy the sound of the low D on a 5 string but can't replicate the tone through detuning an E string on a 4, and don't fancy adjusting to the neck width of a 5er. I mostly play gospel/country/modern rock-style stuff in a church context, where lots of music appears to be written in D, or worse Eb, and consequently I find I lose a lot of power from not having the low strings available for the upward I-IV-V chord changes (sorry to get a little theoretical) in choruses where you need a lift.
  16. [quote name='JimBobTTD' post='1323943' date='Aug 2 2011, 10:27 AM']I have a hardly used set of Ernie Ball Power Slinky 5s which I shall be taking off my Warmoth Jazz V in a few days. They were put on to help put the bass together and have been used for about 45 minutes. The G string is knackered (due to my clumsiness) but the rest are ok. Their gauges are 70, 85, 105, 135 and are yours in a few days if you want them. Drop me a PM if you are interested. No charge. [EDIT: someone has taken me up on the offer now.][/quote] Doh! Beaten to the punch, was just about to PM you. Thanks for the offer anyway.
  17. [quote name='doomed' post='1323930' date='Aug 2 2011, 10:18 AM']StringsDirect will make up a set of whatever you need, fast service too.[/quote] That's a good tip, thanks, I'll give them a call.
  18. Traded pedals with Trev, super quick exchange and very pleasant to deal with, thanks! Andy
