Looks great - the shape of the horns really brings out the grain. Job well done.

Yes Yes Yes - where have you been all my life? And will you marry me? Ok, the last two were in jest. But seriously folks -yes, I'd be interested in this. Do you have a list of Mr.Fitzmaurice's designs for our perusal?

Traded a TC Electronic Classic 450 for Cai's Markbass F1. Everything was effortless and cool. Cai even called me from the post office to confirm shipping costs then texted when the amp was on it's way. Buy/Trade/See with confidence.

My bad - forgot to change this to SOLD. Folks - up for sale is my ACG EQ02 onboard preamp. These are great preamps for radically changing the tone of your bass. The filters are capable of everything from sub-blowing dub to Marcus Miller crispness. This version, mounted on the control plate is no longer available (on the plate, that is). New they were £160 posted. This one is only a few months old, so selling for [s]£110[/s] [b]£100[/b] posted next day special delivery. Only changing because I feel the call of passive nature. Also up for trades. Here's some info from ACG: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/index.php[/url] A review from Bass Guitar Magazine: [url="http://www.scribd.com/word/full?id=11108419&access_key=key-hub5n3vobrwuhs6oqqs"]http://www.scribd.com/word/full?id=1110841...n3vobrwuhs6oqqs[/url] And some soundclips: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/docs/news/72.mp3"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/docs/news/72.mp3[/url] And a stock picture: [attachment=82145:preamp01.jpg]

Hey Folks - Up for sale is my Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 amp head. Amp is about 7 months old and never used in anger. Note - I'm also selling this head as part of a combo here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138944[/url]. I'm selling the head separately as there's been a few enquiries to selling the combo cab on it's own. New these sell for £449 so seeing as this is part of a combo, I'm selling this for [s]£290[/s] [b]£270[/b] shipped. Also up for trades - of the small amp variety. Or surprise me PS - the photo shows the amp with new control knobs. I got these as my eyesight sucks. The original ones are included also. [attachment=81973:Close_Controls.jpg]

Thanks for that Jon - look forward to getting stuck in. My folks were at the Isle Of Wight. Was a very cool thing to grow up hearing stories about it.

Good reminder for these Bilbo - AJ knows no boundaries. It's always refreshing to hear how relentless and inventive he is.

[quote name='Fitz666' post='1255492' date='Jun 3 2011, 02:45 PM']That same Anthrax tour was my fist ever gig, with Living Colour supporting them.....ah the memories[/quote] I can't remember who supported them here - might have been somebody local. It might also have been Prong, but that could also have been at the Faith No `more gig on their 'The Real Thing' tour a few weeks later. Jeez my memory sucks. -

Gareth Hughes replied to MadisonSounds's topic in Bass Guitars
Damn - I'd love to see this. My first gig was seeing Anthrax on the 'State Of Euphoria' tour when I was 12. Sooooooooooo goooooooood. Also saw Megadeth a few years later on the 'Rust In Peace' tour with a then little known Alice In Chains in support. ...............................Memmmmmmmmmorrrrrrieeeeeeessss...................... -

[quote name='ConnorHamilton' post='1253661' date='Jun 2 2011, 10:26 AM']I'm so tempted with this head, been wanting to try one for years! What's it with money and not having a lot of it eh! Will be keeping an eye on this though! Connor[/quote] I know exactly what you mean. But.....that sure is a purty Jazz you have there if a trade tickles your fancy -

You're not a fraud - and you're not alone!!! I play for a living so the smug side of me reckons I'm the dogs doo-dahs. Well, I just started playing with a new band and found myself rushing all over the place. I've always been pretty proud of my timing (one drummer I work with a lot re-named his new bands click track 'The Hughes Track'), so I was well mortified at finding myself pushing ahead. But..........I have been playing a lot with a slew of young drummers in a wedding band that rush like crazy when they gets all excited. Losing whatever sensitivity I ever had, I've just started glaring at them, doing a Status Quo impersonation to show where the time is and yelling 'Are you in a rush to get home?' at the top of my lungs mid-song. The upside to all of what you're going through is that it will make you a better musician. I used to enjoy playing with dodgy drummers because it made me work harder to establish the beat. Used to. Now it just p*sses me off.

Folks - up for sale is my 7 month old Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0/10T combo. Never used in anger - only ever taken out to the cosiest of restaurant gigs, a few theatre gigs and some recording sessions. These are great for upright bass - the tight low end makes usable volume without feedback a breeze to achieve. Also great for theatre pits where space is restricted. Brand new these are £699. I'm selling this for [s]£520[/s] [b]£500[/b] including an Arriba soft case and shipping within the UK. Oh, and some new control knobs (shown in pics), as my old tired eyes didn't like the original ones. Original knobs included too. [b]NEW BIT[/b] - [color="#800080"][b]I've had someone interested in buying the cab alone, so I'd also be up for selling the head separately. The head sells for £449 so I'd let mine go for [s]£300 [/s] £290 including shipping.[/b][/color] More info from Genz Benz: The SHUTTLE series has been developed for professional players, who require an easily transported, great sounding and flexible bass system that is full-featured and extremely transportable. The heart of the SHUTTLE series is the lightweight amplifier design. This 2.75 lb amplifier is available as a “head only” or in combo versions delivering 175 watts at 8 ohms and 300 watts at 4 ohms. In the combo models, the SHUTTLE amp chassis can be easily removed from it’s combo “saddle” in seconds and carried to a larger gig in the pocket of your bass case or the available carry bag. The SHUTTLE head is extremely useful as a “stand alone” unit. The headphone output is great for quiet, personal practice sessions; you can even adjust the volume level and tone you hear with the preamp. Using the “post eq” setting on the D.I. turns the SHUTTLE into an outstanding preamp for recording sessions. The STL3.0-10T combo is ideal for café gigs, “acoustic” performances, jazz gigs or for practice. The SHUTTLE 3.0 amp when coupled to larger cabinets (NEOX-210T or 212T for example) can provide the power and clarity for much larger applications. This combo offers a Neodymium 10” and tweeter and weights a mere 18 lbs. The punch and clarity of this design is suited for a variety of venues and uses. The tone, features and performance of this SHUTTLE is sure to be a winner for many bassists the world over. Power rating is 175 watts; 300 watts with optional extension cabinet. A bottom-mounted kick stand is provided to project the sound upward towards the performer.
