I've got the best amp in the world! (but I never get to play it)
normontour replied to gjones's topic in General Discussion
If your rig sounds that good get it mic'd up. Im still surprised few bassists do this. You spend loads of money on gear and then your bass just gets di'd anyway through, unless you carry your own, some of the cheapest di's money can buy. I worked with a few bands where we mic'd up as well as di'd and it always sounded amazing. I would NEVER play just through monitors as a bassist because 99% of monitors arent set up for bass and it sounds terrible cranking them up. You need a rig at a big venue for back of stage monitors as the inhouse monitors at the front dont always carry. And you need a rig at small pubs etc and everything inbetween cause 99% of venues either have a sh*t pa, a sh*t sound engineer or both. -

Can anyone recommend me any good cheap websites to pick up some hardware. Got a fender P bass and I want to put black machine heads/knobs etc on it.

[quote name='rob_89' post='1250929' date='May 30 2011, 10:58 PM']Thanks Lee and bump![/quote] PM'd you but no reply. Is this still available as im interested -
[quote name='shippo' post='1170647' date='Mar 21 2011, 02:42 PM']Hmm, so from these two replies the red / blue coloured windings must mean STADIUM series as opposed to Medium (40, 60, 80, 100) Gauge. Unless anyone can confirm that Flatwounds have the same colouring? I'm surprised that Elites dont have their own website in this day and age, unless they are made by someone else?[/quote] Arent they made by Bass Centre? I maybe completely wrong and they just love them [url="http://www.basscentre.com/elites.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/elites.html[/url]

Sod all the batteries you can buy in tescos or maplin. Just go Procell by Duracell. They are cheap and long lasting [url="http://www.buyabattery.co.uk/paintball-9v-batteries-alkaline-duracell-procell-mn1604-p-1730.html?osCsid=4d54b12f5182e7d331913276f4562534"]http://www.buyabattery.co.uk/paintball-9v-...1913276f4562534[/url] You can buy a box on there of 50 for £37. Almost every band I have worked with [and thats a lot] use these.

I bought this bass new from the world famous Bass Centre in London around 2 years ago. Its a really sweet bass and I'm only selling as I'm looking to buy a P-Bass instead. It has been gigged but it is in pretty good condition. I've attached pictures of a slight indentation [but it hasnt chipped the paint so its really difficult to see you can see how close I had to get just for it to show up on the pic] and the back of body where there is the odd scuff mark but this is in really good condition. Below are the details of the bass, any questions just ask. Im looking for [b]£500ono[/b] Cutting-edge bassists looking for a lightweight, high performance bass with a strikingly original appearance will love the Aerodyne Jazz Bass guitar. This special-edition Jazz Bass features a bound basswood no-pickguard body with a unique cream-bound carved top. The maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard, matching painted headstock and dot position inlays on the side only. It’s loaded with a split single-coil Precision Bass® pickup (middle) and a single-coil Jazz Bass pickup (bridge). Features Unusual top-mounted black Stratocaster® output jack. Smoked chrome bridge and tuning machines. Smoked chrome skirted control knobs. Silver applique Fender headstock logo. Specifications Body Basswood (Unique Radius/Carved Top) Neck Maple, “C” Shape, (Satin Urethane Finish) Fingerboard Rosewood (Stained), 7.25” Radius (184 mm) No. of Frets 20 Medium Jumbo Pickups 1 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass® Pickup (Neck), 1 Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickup (Bridge) Controls Volume 1.

I live near Harlow in Essex and would be willing to travel locally. Im also in London everyweek so pickup can be arranged for London also. Give me a message to talk about delivery as I may be willing to sort out a courier or a may be willing to travel -
This is lovely. Hopefully my own Fender bass will sell and then i'd definately be interested

[quote name='Jam' post='1050323' date='Dec 7 2010, 11:04 AM']I have one of these and I'm very fond of it (see my avatar!), very versatile bass. Bump for you my friend! Your bass has a different input to mine though, mine's on the side of the body.[/quote] Bump

Not 100% why I bought this as Im not really a fan of bass fx and dont play that kind of music but it was quite fun playing around with it. Its pretty much unused. I've still got the manual but I havent got the box courtesy of my dog. Its in perfect condition Pic from the web Also check out this vid to see just some of the sounds its capable of [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkRFu5aLLmQ"]Click here to goto youtube vid of the fx unit[/url] Im looking for £100 inc delivery -
Im selling this as I've got my eye on another bass, we all know how it is. Its in relatively good condition but is has been toured a bit and there are a few chips in the paint that I have taken a picture of. I am more than happy to have these repaired if someone is really interested and bothered about the marks but you cant really see them from a distance anyway. Looking for £550. I live nr Epping in Essex.
