  1. RIG HAS NOW SOLD



    TC Electronic RH 750 rig for sale due to retirement.

    Complete rig is excellent condition having had very little use. Rig includes:

    TC RH 750 + case
    2 x RS 212 cabs with TC branded covers.
    RC 4 Footswitch
    High quality speaker cables.

    Difficult to ship so would be easier to meet up at a central point or collect

    Selling as a rig, do not want to split. This set up would cost you just over £2k at Bass Direct today and this is in just as good condition.

    Will consider trade deal for small quality rig for home use i.e. Phill Jones, Mesa Boogie Walkabout.

    Pics to follow.

  2. I'm going to offer them on here for a short time before I access more mainstream avenues of selling. They are priced at what they cost me as ive been very active in trading lately. Not looking for trades. OK....here we go:

    1) Status Graphite Buzzard - 2. Sale or Trade

    Up for sale is this very rare and WHITE HOT custom order early Status Buzzard 2 in blackburst. Superb condition with no dings, knocks or scratches. Alder body with black hardware, graphite neck with roman numeral inlays and red side LEDs. Comes with the original Status full fitted flightcase and all paperwork inc order sheet & invoice. An early model that sports the ' Buzzard' logo prior to legal issues between the Entwistle estate, Warwick and Status to which this bass was not connected except in name. An amazingly flexible 18v EQ fed by Status Hyperactive pups. Original paperwork & case candy included.
    A collectors piece or a bass for someone looking for something seriously unusual that really does do everything. These are exceedingly rare and the old ones even more so, they were made strictly on an order only basis and really is quite special.

    £1950 plus p&p
    Will entertain offers of trades for quality 5 string basses of similar or less value with cash adjustment.

    These basses are my pride and joy, I've worked, ducked and dived for years to acquire them. I cant justify keeping them as like most of us I could only afford my gear whilst they were earning their keep. I cant possibly play them all without work so they need new players who'll continue to put them through their paces.

    Any trial is welcome with free tea and coffee. Fire any question via inbox or at
    [email protected]. As these are a bit stiff cost wise I understand if you'd prefer to talk about deals. If so, inbox me your name & number and a convenient time and i'll call.

    The Basses are advertised elsewhere!

  3. I'm waiting for my big sound project which was born from a long discussion with Tom. He took as much time as was needed and explored loads of options. The pedal Ive got coming should be pretty nuclear as its a combo of distortion, overdrive and interactive sub octaver via foot controller ( wah )

    Im also buying an Envelope Filter he had built for himself.

    Its taking time but hes a busy man and wants to get it right. It wasnt a low cost project but for the design work, build time and testing etc it could have been double the price Tom charged me.

    I think Cog effects will be affecting more and more bassists soundscape for many years. A good man!

  4. Ha ha, looks great on all shapes. Just look at the new metal bands out there. It appears to me that the svelte shaped rock gods of yore have long gone. The Jaegermeister/Beer/KFC lifestyle has replaced the hefty amphetamine habits lol. Its a great guitar, plays and sounds superb and the trem is top notch with regard intonation and tuning stability sfter a few divebombs.

  5. My mother did that kind of thing to me all my bloody childhood years. Never been so happy to get a paper round and get some adidas.

    I hate number names. The Ibanez range is totally unnecessary and confusing to the inexperienced, a cool name is a great opportunity to sex up the product IMO

  6. Manic Street Preachers - Sleepflower
    In particular the build out of the middle 8. Not my fave bassist but the sound and groove is fab

    Motorhead - Motorhead from No sleep til Hammersmith

    Megadeth - Bad Omen from Peace Sells.....

  7. Just completed a transatlantic trade of very high end basses with Brad. Absolutely no problems throughout. Bass as described, questions answered when asked and all carried out to its utmost.

    A ballsy trade that went off perfectly. A chatty and very friendly guy who Id highly recommend for trading 100% trustworthy. Hes got some amazing basses too.

    100% respect

    Cheers Brad, heres to the next one

  8. Ive played blues for a bit of a bass hero for years. What ive found is to never fear the silence on slow tracks, a note can ring for 3 even 4 bars. A great album for a fresh modern approach is Little Walter 'C'mon in da house' wSuper old school with a more modern approach to the rhythm section, certainly pricked my ears up.

    Blues is a funny genre as its pretty free within strict formulae, sounds like your well on top of it, just have a good listen around to convince yourself of this and maybe inspire some new moves.

    Good luck and blues on ;-)

  9. Ive got a chrome one with that shape but it looks like youve got ruthenium finish.

    Your welcome to try the chrome one out, send it back if you dont want it. i have no use for it

  10. When i started out and skint i relied on these repairs, even gigged with them. I had no choice, times were too hard to think of a new set, plus a long bus ride to the nearest shop, new strings were birthday or christmas materials. A great way out of a spot. I'm a tad more selective these days.

  11. Cant see the attraction or reasoning. I find the Fender 'relic' industry rather silly too.
    The Rory Gallagher signature even has one of the tone pots no longer working. I just don't get it. For Rory? He toured hard and played that instrument to its state with sweat, blood and tears. When he walked into his local shop to buy his first Fender I'll bet my last bass that he went home and just touched and played with it whilst marvelling at its beauty, quality and the craftsmanship behind it. He didnt plan the damage or want a scruffy guitar, his working conditions created that. Its like buying Rolling stones Tshirts from Next, just a passing vanity fad.

    Our signature sound is in our hands, the instrument is the medium for expression. I love my basses and get that horrible feeling in my gut if anything happens to them, once that passes it becomes a part of the guitar but if i had the choice these war wounds wouldn't be there.

    This is a stupid fad and once the said fad has passed this guy is going to realise he just threw the value and allure of his beautiful instrument away in the name of vanity.

    Maybe I'm just boring
