How much did it set you back, if you don't mind the asking![/quote]

£400 on the nose. Nice bloke and a nice gaff it came from too. It's a good looker for its age that's for sure.

Yep, love the Geddy Lee, Lee, nice low action, in fact I might raise it a tad, all polished up with new strings etc.

Plenty of PMs but no takers yet, one offer just fallen through, still here.

Yes indeed, can't wait for Monday.

Thanks for that Dave. Yes it'll take me a while to find the right sound with it, I tend to find the sound I like and just stick with it throughout the set, changing the tone on the bass rather than the amp if needs be. So I fully intend to spend quite some time with the graphic, never had one on an amp before.

As I'm guessing it's quite a bright sound from the Trace, like the Roland is, I'll probably lean it in a bottom end direction initially, again like the Roland, and I'll find a nice tone to get me started. Then I'll tweak it over time.

I don't use effects at all, just bass, cord, amp. Simple. So finding "My" sound on the amp will be important. If I can find anything like the one I get from the Roland, but with a little more headroom, I'll be a very happy chap.

I can't believe this hasn't sold already. Superb bass.

It certainly is Jase yes, oldish but in excellent nick as you say. I just hope it sounds as good as it looks, I'll find out Monday night.

Yeah Betsy now has a Vince Ray sticker Ped, one of my favourite artists, as seen adorning Brian Setzers Gretches. I think it just finishes her off nicely. I think Her and the Geddy will make a good team.

Bump.

Well here's the new setup as of today:



L-R; Fender Geddy Lee, Trace 2x10 & 1x15, Fender Villex Jazz "Betsy".

That's me then

Why thank you sir.

Why thank you sir.

No Mike, I haven't used the Aphex for months, I just didn't need it. This amp is so punchy, I just didn't feel it needed any help. Most people at gigs just can't believe the sound it kicks out, and it just sits on the back seat of the car to and from gigs.

The Trace is this baby;

Oldish, but hopefully in good nick, and will give me a bit more headroom live.

Here's my faithful Roland DB500 combo for sale. It's a LOUD 160W, 12" speaker and horn, and has been my faithful companion for the last 3 years, trouble free, at many gigs countrywide.

Because of the FFP processing, it mimicks the sound of a 15" speaker, and sounds much bigger than it looks.

Superb little amp, ideal for most pub gigs, anything bigger I DI'd it into the PA, and everyone always comments on how great it sounds.



It's a heavy little blighter so I shan't be posting it in a hurry, but I can deliver within reason or meet you somewhere.

The arrival of a Trace Elliot rig forces the Roland out, and it's yours for £150. Cost me £350 used 3 years ago, so It's priced just to move it on asap.

Good condition, in full working order, black carpet covered, a few marks and dings here and there, but then it has been well used.

K5 still available, I played it a couple of nights ago, and remembered why I bought it in the first place, it sounded superb and played itself, top bass, £300 to your door.

PM'd

Replied

No worries.

Now £650.

Will consider a trade for a Geddy Lee Jazz plus cash.

[quote name='Chris2112' post='228394' date='Jun 28 2008, 01:01 AM']Don't let the Korn affiliation put you off that bass, those K5's are incredible basses at a great price! Someone is going to be very happy with that![/quote]

Cheers mate.

Superb basses I think, good choice sir. I've had 2 of them. I regretted selling my first one the next day, and hankered for another one for a year or so, until I got my present one, and I love it.

[i]However[/i], you may notice it's up for sale . I'm using my Villex loaded jazz almost exclusively, it's just the cat pyjamas as far as I'm concerened, and none of the others are getting a look in, not even the MM.

I'm not desparate to sell any of them if I'm honest, I just need a bit of cash, so if the MM doesn't sell I'll be delighted, it's a superb bass.

I'm hoping so .

So I assume Jeff that you're no longer buying mine then?

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='225795' date='Jun 24 2008, 12:24 PM']I still miss my Natural MM. Great basses.

Peter[/quote]

Cheers Peter, yes it's a great bass, I know I'll regret moving it on...............however....................

I'll get it to you Jeff if you need me to, don't worry about that. If needs be, we can meet near London.

Hi mate, thanks for the offer, but that's a tad low I'm afraid. £700 is fair for the bass, and I'm really in no hurry to sell.

By the way it was completed in the factory @ SLO, USA, on 15/03/05.

This is a superb bass, in new condition. I've played it, and was knocked out, a bloody bargain at this price.

Ha ha, thanks mate.
