I'll take it, pm'd.

[quote name='mybass' post='61747' date='Sep 17 2007, 04:14 PM']I have a spare and slightly used Hipshot Ex-Tender going for £30 includes UK postage. Finished in Chrome. For the E string peg with the flip lever to detune down to D whilst playing and back up again if your quick enough!
I think this is the HE6c model with clover leaf tuner head.
The outer sleeve hexagonal head that ultimately tightens the tuner in place from the front of the headstock is about 1/2" wide.[/quote]

At work and googling it will be unsly (I type this in notepad and rapidly paste in) But soaking them in a tube of alcohol based solvent is supposed to work. Sounds right, will soak out the grease and not corrode like boiling, oull the out, wipe off the swollen out the coils gunk and hang them to dry outside.

Peaveys seem to go for no money and are good bits of kit. I bought a new Johnson on ebay, asked the guy to put his ear against them and send me the one that sounded loudest. It had poo hardware, but a good enough chunk of wood and a thick neck I liked. Westone Tunders are a classic, saw one go for £38, but most go for more.

Got me a black SG to refinish, I'm steaming lables off Jack daniels bottles and gonna psate them on and varnish. Pick your poison.

Behringer Hellbabe, plus looper pedal for the win. Lots of adjusty knobs, optical.

One thing I always do is put my ear on the body ( generally the top horn for convenience) and listen to what it sounds like there. Also, I pay aattention to how much the body vibrates when you are playing, I want my basses to really come alive when you hit a string. If the wood is good everything else can be replaced, I did that, load of no name generics, picked out the one that sounded loudest through the body.

Will these be better than the one that came in my Westone Thunder?

Its the not buying basses that I have trouble with.

It looks like this:

Thats not the one, but its not like anything will dent, bend or chip.

And heres that demo clip: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WAK9gAKuQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2WAK9gAKuQ[/url]

Bump, movin in 2 weeks, could do without having to shift an extra cab.

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='59948' date='Sep 13 2007, 04:17 PM']Is this a current reissue? I.E When did you buy it.

Cheers[/quote]

Bought it on the bay, second hand, in the box, white card box. Not sure how to tell the difference, but the in and out on the effects loop seem reversed, which was something I saw mentioned about them when I googled it.

With my DHA on the way, this is a bit surplus. The effects loops and blend thing is dead useful, the distortion is a bit only one sound, unless you put an eq or something in the loop. Solid and chunky, see the one armed guy demoing one on youtube.

PM some offers.

That has Shockwave's style written all over it, as far as I can see.

Now they look very tempting, if I make a bunch of money selling ym other gear, one of those is going to get tried out. However, I've always preffered Rosewood boards for their not getting really grotty properties.

I just realised I spent nearly as much on a pedal as I did on my main basss. Then I had a think and realised that Fender are probably struggling to keep a place in the market as the have pretty much nothing to trade onbut their name. Theres just a limit to how good you can produce a piece of wood with strings on, and theres plenty of competition at that point, the Yamaha stuff is great quality as an example, and theres plenty of no-names that are near as good as a Fender once you switch a few choice pieces of hardware, the downside being that it will hold no value. Will anyone give me £200 for my Johnson P bass? No, its got the wrong name on the headstock, but you have no idea how it plays or sounds. Consequently, manufactureres must keep shooting out products that appear to have a premium value in future, especially considereing its not a consumable product, they are pretty much around forever. Barring Townshend moments. In fact, that last point is probably the most important one.

[quote name='Tech' post='47062' date='Aug 18 2007, 03:32 AM']Came straight from my old Warwick Corvette. Nice sound.

- just like these. stock image, but can take photos of the actual ones if anyone is interested.
Not looking for much for them. Call it 20 quid for the pair, posted? PM me if interested! don't have a bass with a set of J pickups anymore, otherwise I'd hang on to them.[/quote]

Do they have pole pieces inside, or bar type job? Cause I'm after another J in the neck postion on my frank, and the strings won't line up right over poles.

Hard to tell due to fundamental blackness of it, does in do through stringing? Looking to replce the one on my 5 string with blacker, as the matt silver on red looks poo.

Bump, back on topic, I also have a spare speaker, but under the pic it might not get seen.

Consider Trade for anything? I've got guitars and a 5 string bass to go. Check my 1x15 cab for sale thread for a pic.

Its a Wishbass, they have many haters, and many lovers, and not many in betweens. www.wishbass.com in particular check out the kewel, as I seem to have designed that, although he ripped me off dammit, I sent a pic of one Iwanted made to the guy, and 6 months later they appear.

Its made of walnut, maple and purpleheart, body is maple sandwiched between walnut on a maple, spalt maple and purpleheart neck with a purpleheart fingerboard. They cost around $400 new, but you need to finish them yourself, the sanding time is worth it, I put a danish oil finish on it.

The red one is a Peavey International Series, which seem to go for not much money and are really nice, its also kindareluctantly for sale as I don't need 5 strings.

Home made, not by me, very solid, metal corners, metal grill, chunky wheels, XLR connector on the back, have a jack lead for this, will chuck in. Now £70, you must collect. 8ohm.

At the back of this pic



Also have a Peavey Black widow speaker, at least, the magnet and a replacement basket, offers on that.

Lefty Riks are expensive cause this guy bought all of them

Anyone catching Jazz at the Duke today?

Whereabouts in Bristol? I'm in Kingswood, not far from Shockwave and his collection of truly hideous basses. Hit me up on pm with an msn address, I'm cherful to show you some stuff for free if you fancy it, gives me a chance to talk basses, play someone elses bass and alienate my housemate for being every bad guitarist cliche there is.

I bought some super cheap Alice strings on ebay, thoguht they be good for restringing basses for people who asked me to teach them and turn up with some attic find. Two sets for £7, the D string from both sets just buzzed, all on its own like fret buzz, but with no fret touching, tried both on a couple of basses, gave up on them. Lesson learned there.
