Gig Skinz Medium bag - SOLD
okusman replied to Muzz's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Yes please! I'll take that of your hands. -
They are great basses. There is a clear difference as you move from Combustion to ABZ. Neck feel and quality of sound. They are very well made and the fan fret is not an issue at all. I came very close to buying one from Mark at Bass Direct...and then came the Roscoe!

Few observations.....The expression 'pay peanuts get monkeys' works the other way round..."you play for peanuts and they treat you like a chimp". You'll know whether you can cut it as a wedding band...and people expect to pay four figures for a decent band. Indeed when we increased our fee deeper into four figure territory, we actually got more work. I think it also depends on you motivation to play and your level of service. If you offer a disco, a super light show and are willing to pitch up before the reception starts, then it's gotta be because you are doing it for the pennies. We will arrive at 7...spend and hour on set-up....have a few sherbets, eat the obligatory pig roast, do a couple of sets and get our arses to the nearest kebab shop. They always dance, we have a bloody good laugh and get the gig for the best man's wedding next year.

Sunday evening bump...Remember, I'd trade for a Status Series 2/Empathy, if you had one lurking...

No. Sorry. Felt this was the weak link and so relaxed it all with the excellent Audere. It was the standard vol/vol/tone.

Now much less confused!

Saturday 2nd June 9pm Free entry, decent beer and you in the audience commenting on the bass player's sloppy overplaying and lack of sobriety. Oh well, come along anyway.

My experience was very positive.... Flying Finn Air to Helsinki and back, brought my bass to Heathrow in a proper flightcase. Asked to gate-check the bass and see whether the cabin crew would let me take it into the cabin. IT IS THE CABIN CREW'S DECISION!!!!!!!! Not a decision made by a check-in clerk. On the outward journey, both the guitarist and I were told the flight was not busy and we might stand a chance. We therefore had our flight cases tagged and proceeded to the the gate. The cabin crew didn't bat an eyelid and let me stow it in the overhead locker above my seat. (FYI... Bass flight case fits easily into overhead locker of Airbus A320!) On the way back we were told that the flight was full, and that it was highly unlikely... Check-in clerk told us we could try our luck, but that she could not guarantee success. We made sure we were near the front of the gate queue, where we were greeted with, "ah, you must be the guitarists, you will need to ask the cabin crew..." At this point two things seemed to help... 1) The guitarist with a short case went first. 2) We both wore ridiculous pouting smiles. We walked aboard and we asked to leave our cases in the galley area where you enter a plane, and went to find our places. On exiting the plane we found our flight cases had been easily stored in a large locker area. The fact I had a decent flight case reassured me that even if they refused it access onto the plane, it was going to be safe. They would take it from me as I entered the plane and return it as I left the plane, just like a pushchair. One man's experience of flying with his prize possession with Finn Air...I'll do it exactly the same way next time!

Thanks for the comments. Having been bowled over by a RH750 through my Eden XST, I'm holding out for the pennies at present...Unless someone has an RH750 they wanna trade!

Saturday 8th October - Good beer. Good atmosphere...and me and my Lakland JoBo5 & Fretless with my band The Bridge. Pint of beer to the man who taps me on the shoulder and says, "oi mate, stop overplaying and buy me a pint!" [attachment=90836:NYMAD.JPG] Ooops...too much beer on stage in Finland!

[size=5][b]Welcome[/b][/size] [size=5]Up for sale, or limited trade, is my 2006 Eden Metro Combo which is in in excellent condition. I bought this amp from [i]Andertons[/i] as an ex-demo product, which had been accordingly serviced and checked over by Surrey Amps, (Eden specialist) before being dispatched. I have subsequently changed the pre-amp tube and serviced it a couple of times in the last four years that I have owned the amp.[/size] [size=5]The amp shows very little signs of use. The covering is clean, with the corner caps still looking good. I have always kept the amp in a Roq-Solid cover, (included in the sale) and it's condition reflects this. I only gig in 'nice' venues and then put my amp back under the stairs![/size] [size=5]Have a read of Bass Guitar Magazine's review of the amp...[/size] [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/reviews/pdf/BGM_06MetroReview.pdf"][size=5][b]CLICK HERE[/b][/size][/url] [size=5][b]Impressive![/b][/size] [size=5]A two channel, valve/solid state amp which delivers more than enough grunt, (clean grunt at that!) for most gigging situation. Or do what I do and add another cab....It'll run down to 2 Ohms.[/size] [size=5]Transport arrangements.......[/size] [size=5]Pick up from Cheltenham[/size] [size=5]I'm happy to drive for an hour to meet up[/size] [size=5]You get the quote and organise a courier at your expense[/size] [size=5][b]Price is £525 ...or you could buy the same amp in the same condition from the [i]The Gallery [/i]for £1099.[/b][/size] [size=5]Very happy to answer any questions. 07837 595384[/size] [size=5]All the best.[/size] [size=5][b][attachment=89677:Metro face.jpg][attachment=89678:back panel.jpg][attachment=89679:valve.jpg][attachment=89680:fet.jpg][attachment=89681:cover.jpg][attachment=89682:back.jpg][/b][/size]
