  1. Back for sale as last person stopped replying to my polite PM's and text's asking when he'd like to pick it up
  2. What a great result mate, not meaning to sound like i'm questioning you repair but how does the tuning hold now?
  3. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1058869' date='Dec 14 2010, 07:27 PM']My band "supported" (it was a kid's gig that we somehow got roped into playing) a band on Saturday that was interesting. The guitarist broke his capo on stage when he was trying to get it on, then for the next two songs played the open chords instead of capo'd at the first fret. Meanwhile the bassist was happily chugging along a semi-tone up from him on every note. I felt like slapping them and I wasn't even in the band.[/quote] Don't blame you mate! Sounds like a shoddy guitar player, nothing annoys me more than guitarist who use a capo for strumming open chords, learn your CAGED system and play it properly, i'm a bass player and even i can do that on guitar!
  4. Agree with the above you need to try them out. Having had alot of time with my tube800 now and gigged with it I find the sound more than flexable enough. I keep the tube blend control set to 12 o clock so it has the best blend of tube and s/s. Swanbrook if you liked the LMII the tube model is gonna be similar when set to s/s but you've just got abit more flexibility.
  5. I normally swap the strings straight over unless they came with d'addarios on as i'll use them if im skint or DR's if i've got the money. I find with me EB will last about a week before they are no longer playable so might just run em till they are dead, and Rotowound i will change at the earliest possible moment as they feel like they are coated in glue to me and I find them unplayable. As for setup I will end up adjusting it but I usually play it for a few weeks tweaking as I go until I find that perfect setup.
  6. Pics for Seb before collection, not sure exactly what you wanted so I just shot
  7. What about one of these, i've heard good things [url="http://www.basscentre.com/fretless-bass-guitars/squier-vintage-modified-jazz-bass-fretless.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/fretless-bass-gu...s-fretless.html[/url]

  9. Tring in Hertfordshire, It is now on Hold but I will let you know if it becomes available again
  10. It's all about uncle Billy lol [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvxyyuZHM3U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvxyyuZHM3U[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky_exUBoYQM&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky_exUBoYQM...feature=related[/url]
  11. [quote name='silddx' post='1037217' date='Nov 26 2010, 12:40 AM']It's all about your vision old son. I can't stand more than four strings but I need 24 frets and I use a POD X3 LIVe. And I'd love a VB99 Bass Synth. It's when your musical situation demands change but you don't want it that the trouble begins.[/quote] Good point, and interesting you mention 24 frets, thats the other thing. even though i don't play alot that high it feels wrong when i've got less than 24. Must be bass OCD
  12. [quote name='Chris2112' post='1037206' date='Nov 26 2010, 12:33 AM']Don't worry about feeling like you're losing your roots, imagine that you're extending them - after all, the EADG strings are still there! You'll end up back at 4 string basses someday though, everyone always does! [/quote] I'll look at it this way, i'm abit big round the waist band so i'm like a big oak tree that needs to spread a few more roots lol.
  13. This may seem a little silly to you all but i've been thinking about this alot recently. Most of us i'm sure started out on a 4 string, I did and was quite happy for 12 years playing like that. Must admit I did buy a budget 8 string for a laugh at one point that was too much (see sig). Then just over a year ago I joined my current band and found for one or two songs I needed a low C# and B, typical. So went out and got a 5 string. When I go back to 4 now, it still feels natural and easy to find my way around but i feel not quite complete and slightly naked. I wouldn't want to do any sort of gig with only a 4 string now, yet I love playing my old 4 string basses still. Kind of felt like i've lost my roots abit here. Odd thing is with guitar. I play to an intermediate standard and dabbed in 7 strings but that did feel like too much and prefered less. Mind you trying to play slide guitar over that wide a neck is bloody hard lol. So my point is, is it bad to feel like your loosing your roots or is it just natural progression?
  14. Final price drop now, can't believe this hasn't sold.
  15. addictional pics for toddger here as my hotmail didn't seem to like big images to send The plate on the back of the cab is only knackered as its where it was laying in the back of the car. I've highlighted the worst of the corners which again get worn in the car, I can understand why people buy cab cases now lol.

  17. Just been asked a question about scale of neck and I always thought it was shorter scale, measured it and it's actually 34"
  18. Ok got a gig ready setup here. Peavey Max450 and 4x10 TVX cab. This is an ideal first gig ready rig for any one and comes with the all cables needed. It has served me well over the years playing in all sorts of bands and all sorts of styles. My reason for selling is i've now purchased a much lighter weight Markbass rig due to my knackered spine. I want to sell these as a pair so will not break up. Obviously because this has been my giggin amp over the last couple of years there is slight wear and tear as you'd expect, i've taken a photo of the worst part. Due to the size and weight I would prefer pickup (west hertfordshire). Any more pics needed please just ask. Price: a firm £200 SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD Thanks Will Head specs first:l Peavey Max 450 450 watts (rms) at 2 ohms 300 watts (rms) at 4 ohms 170 watts (rms) at 8 ohms 3-band active EQ with shiftable mid-range control Contour control -10 dB pad switch (active/passive pickup switch) Buffered tuner send jack Footswitchable post-EQ effects loop Electronically balanced XLR jack Pre-/post-EQ send switch for XLR jack Ground lift switch for XLR jack DDT speaker protection with defeat switch Preamp out/power amp in jacks Dimensions 23.75" W x 8.125" H x 12.875" D Weight 41 lbs.

  19. Okies heres another bass up for sale now i'm trying to prune back the collection abit. Steinbgerger Spirit XP-2 mini flying V 4 string bass. I've had the bass from new for a long time now. Pictures show it's mint condition. One of the photos shows what looks like a tiny chip off one corner, it isn't a chip it's actually an unpainted blob and it's got clear coat over the top. I realised this after I got the bass but never asked for a replacement as it would have been too much hassle and it's not noticable. There is a special fitted case that comes with this I would prefer pickup (west hertfordshire). Any more pics needed please just ask. Price drop £160 no offers SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
  20. [quote name='sprocketflup' post='1027936' date='Nov 18 2010, 02:14 PM']Scientists ran tests on a bowl of peanuts off a pub bar, and discovered traces of urine. Further tests showed it to be only Carlsberg.[/quote] LMFAO that is worth a free bump for you
