    [quote name='topo morto' post='1294636' date='Jul 6 2011, 12:33 PM']Sold a pedal to Paul - a nice guy, despite the scary address![/quote] It's not that bad; next to a cemetery in a place called Bury? Oh yeah, I see your point. MoooooHaaaaHaaaa!

    Just bought an EHX pedal from topo morto. Really well packaged, very fast delivery, great comms etc... I would say that I'd definitely buy from Ivan again, but I'm cured of GAS now.... no, really, I'm completely GAS free forever. Ooooh, that looks nice, wonder what it does.....

    Lovely EBS Octbass arrived in the post this morning. Really smooth, quick, well-informed, easy and above all, pleasant purchase from Slazman. Top BC'er (looks after his kit too). Paul

    Boss OC2

    paul_5 posted a topic in Effects For Sale

    Hi all, I've got a lovely Boss OC2 that is now redundant. The sticker is missing from the bottom, so I don't know whether it's Japanese or Taiwanese (though I seem to remember it's Taiwanese anyway) and it's got velcro ready for pedalboard fixing etc... Very good condition - some small scratches on the case but everything works perfectly. A classic can be yours for £45 posted (mainland UK only). Please enquire within. Cheers, Paul

    [quote name='Ross' post='1293066' date='Jul 5 2011, 09:01 AM']What sort of chickens is he using? Flats or rounds?[/quote] If they're revisiting some of the older, more proggy stuff he'll probably have a capon... getting coat.

    Another unimpressed Ashdown user here, tried various models in various rooms and just couldn't get on with them. Also the Trace Elliot SMX compressor pedal seemed to be a bit of a 'low end filtering out machine' to me. Too much tone suck for a bass-specific product for me. Paul McCartney. Anything that has been artificially relic'ed (this obviously excludes Macca).

    Erm, a bit. You'll probably need the truss rod tweaking a little bit to compensate for the extra tension that you've set up. There may also be some twist across the fingerboard as you've put extra pressure on one side and not the other. If you need a low D and a low E string then I'd recommend getting a thicker 'E' string in place of your B (an extra 5 or 10 thou should do it), but then your nut might need some attention. Hope this helps.

    Mine came with phosphor bronze strings - in the hot weather they can turn your sweat green, which came as a bit of a surprise. I'm currently using Rotosound flats on mine and love the sound.

    I learnt all the grade 8 stuff years ago when I was at college, college pulled the funding to actually sit the exam unfortunately, but it was still good to have specific targets in my practice regime ( and it still is TBH). If you take your playing seriously then the Rock school grade 8 is achievable. Incidentally when and where are you taking the exam? I know some people...

    Hi All, I sold an unused bass body to Pickle this week, really prompt payment and a nice guy to deal with. Really clear communication too.

    [quote name='wez' post='1289695' date='Jul 1 2011, 10:58 PM']Andy Rouke! My bass God[/quote] Never meet your heroes. I rubbed shoulders with him at a house party in manchester a good few years back; i seem to remember we nearly came to blows waiting for the loo. My overriding memory was that he was a bit of a tool. Granted we'd all had a few and i'd like to think that's what it was down to.

    Welcome on board. In reply to your OP, I like P basses, but I also like J basses, but which is better? There's only one way to find out.....

    [quote name='ficelles' post='1286799' date='Jun 29 2011, 06:51 PM']Sound advice methinks Sat looking at the nut earlier and thought do I really want to start filing bits off it? So I guess there's a 5-string flatwound set for recycle... ficelles[/quote] Ooh, can I have first dibs?
