OK - funds urgently needed: w/end special. Doing the same with other stuff so, if something sells I'll revise the others.

OK ... sorry about the 'typo' in the title; but now that I have your attention, I'm actually selling something for a Sax Friend .....(although both descriptions are probably applicable!).... Of interest to any multi - instrumentalists or for similar Sax(ophone)-playing friends or band members. Description and photos below: I'm assured that this is something quite rare and is in mint condition. There are new Akai EWi's (of the USB variety) but this is an original/complete model, which would have cost a small fortune when new... Specs:_ the Akai EWIs (Electronic Wind Instruments) are based on the saxophone. · EWI1000 Electric Wind Instrument is a controller · EVW2000 is an analog synth module for the EVI1000/EWI1000 The Akai EWI1000 (Electronic Wind Instrument) / EVI1000 (Electronic Valve Instrument) are vehicles to introduce MIDI to the horn player. Developed from the "Steinerphone", created by Nyle Steiner, by using traditional sax-like and trumpet-like fingerings. Feature include a seven octave range, touch sensitive keys (no moving parts), breath sensor in the mouthpiece for control of dynamics and timbre. Biting the lip sensor in the EVI controls the amount of glide while glide on the EWI is controlled by a touch responsive glide sensor. Lip sensor pressure on the EWI controls vibrato and modulation and a vibrato lever has the same effect on the EVI. Both instruments have a special touch sensor control allowing the player to bend note up or down. There are several 'MB' settings on the module - I'm assuming these must be 'Michael Brecker' as he was agreat exponent of the Ewi's. The EWV-2000 sound module is usually sold with the EWI1000 or EVI1000, and consists of a programmable analog synthesizer with 2 VCO's, 3 Filters, 2 Envelope Generators and 2 VCA's. It can perform as two parallel synthesizers with two different sounds or as a single complex synthesizer. Breath and lip pressure can control vibrato, pulse width, modulation, filter modulation and volume. The three different filters allow the creation of resonant formants for simulations of cups, mutes and plungers. External input allows other instruments to be processed through the EWV2000. Other feature include wave envelope FM, 64 user programmable memories, and a 16 character backlit LCD. Additionally, the EWV-2000 is equipped with a MIDI out jack. Patches (all patch data/single voices) can be saved on cassette. There is no MIDI dump of patches, but then again you couldn't dump the patches back to the EWV2000 via MIDI, since there is no MIDI in. This plays great on its own and also through an external sound module. There is a user-manual included (details can also be downloaded from EWI-EVI.com). It comes with all cables as when bought new and includes a sax sling SOLD !!!

Still available!!

.. and only a couple of weeks (incl. shipping time) 'til Xmas !!....

Bump ... potential Xmas bargain/gift !!

Have (just) managed to place this on the Vigier site/Forum (although still unable to suss how to add photos!!) Listening to offers based on the asking ££...

tuners sold & sent ... plenty still available !!

Can't recall - but it's new (not 'off' anything) and could well be Mexican. If you think the shape/holes look right, measure the existing one or neck pocket and I'll compare. I'd also be OK to take it back if it did't fit or couldn't be slightly modified (which is often required with the generic ones).

Tuners are SOLD.

tuners on-hold

All Chrome parts are new/mint condition and come complete with all fitting screws, bushes etc. T-shell J pickguard is a nice generic example: 3-ply, new condition and comes with 10 chrome/domed fitting screws. All prices include postage:- Tuners (x4) complete set with all screws etc.: £SOLD!! Chrome Bridge (Fender style) c/w 5 screws: £8 Chrome neck-plate + screws: £5 Chrome strap-pins: £3 J T/shell P-guard (with screws x 10): £10

[quote name='Mickb1773' date='Nov 24 2009, 01:46 PM' post='663722'] ...........................I hope Eubassix does not mind me hijacking his text and a couple of his pics...... No problem! .... assuming the bass is still as it was described and photo'd. This IS an excellent bass and looks good with both PG's (I think as they're Sadowsky specific, they're best kept with the bass as they wouldn't fit other J's). I really liked the tone as it is, but the option of 'upgrading' the bass for $75 with Sadowsy's own VTC is also worth considering!!

[quote name='Shaker' post='666133' date='Nov 26 2009, 12:24 PM']Hi. Would you sell the Model B separately, and if so how much posted? PM me if you would prefer. Regards Shaker[/quote] I'll send a PM but it's something I'd certainly consider if I can find a buyer for the Pickup + Pro-EQ Platinum. Photo:-

JUST the Fishman unit(s) now remaining ! I also have the Fishman Pro-EQ PLatinum (acoustic instrument version) which I could substitute for the original Bass EQ, but would have to discuss the pricing. The Pro-EQ Plat' is a much more comprehensive unit with various controls + switches and sliders, XLR-out, Tuner-send etc (and costs about £150 new). I'll add a photo here when I have one/time

BTPO ... !

(bump).. thanks guys for the +++ comments & Doc'otb for the additional information. Not sure of the precise woods used in the neck section (it is neck-thru, but not easy to asses the wood/s through the black finish). There is a truss-rod .. and am in total agreement re. the FL sound; it's one of the best EQ's I've encountered for a FL bass !....

I was (am) planning to put this up on the Vigier Forum but unable to do so unless they reply re. my lost (forgotten) password - so, with some recent interest in Vigier(s), thought I'd mention it here: Black Vigier Arpege fretless bass with the unique Delta metal f/board (lined). Full parametric EQ with cut and boost, plus active (on or off). Coil tap switch. Two jack sockets, one for DI (bypassing circuitry) and one using the circuitry. Super action. With original case. Bought new in UK (1987-8) - must be one of the first to have been imported. Extremely versatile high-end instrument. Active electronics powered by two 9v batteries produce powerful output. A few minor marks (mainly headstock edges and a couple of small bruises/dings on the neck - f2 on the G side; f7 on the E side) plus a cover on the back of one of the machines missing (awaiting a response from Schaller re. this), but otherwise in very good and original condition (as shown in the photos) and with no modifications. It also comes with an early/original Vigier hardcase (rectangular/fitted) which I've not seen before. You have several EQ/sound options: straight out of DI (top jack socket) which bypasses active circuitry. Side jack socket and using the parametric - one knob selects frequency and the other cuts or boosts (active circuitry still not yet in use, but great sounds). All ON - using EQ with active electronics (you need to pull up the volume control for the additional boost). Not used the coil tap switch much … but it's there if you want it. Using the combinations of parametric EQ and active switch as well you can access some absolutely awesome sounds. Controls as originally supplied on this bass:- The potentiometer (knob) near the bridge pickup = volume + boost @+20dB (pull-up the knob) Pickups toggle (3 positions: Neck - Both - Bridge) The next Knob/control is the ± 15dB potentiometer that controls the parametric EQ (pull it up to put it on) Next to this is the parametric pot that allows you to choose frequency between 80Hz and 4,2 kHz (*does not work if the previous one - Parametric EQ is not pulled-up) Small toggle puts the pickups out of phase (only when both pickups are selected) Last is the tone control potentiometer (knob). There is the jack (side) and also a direct output (top). This is a series I Arpege, hand crafted and completed in Nov.86 £SOLD inclusive of Courier delivery (UK)

[quote name='redstriper' post='659493' date='Nov 19 2009, 06:20 PM']No worries.[/quote] Keep a check on ebay (and elsewhere) - there was one listed a while back for a £230'ish BIN - OR Best Offer; so you might be able to source one for about the same ££.

SOLD !!!

Further update (see post #4 above) - received a message from OP/seller to say that it was genuine mistake on his part adn that the string/refund would be posted 4th October during a Uni lunch break ........ guess what (... and I'm still waiting, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah....)...45 day since the last promise and about 5.5 months since I paid.

£15 seems fair (?) and is bottom-line. There are a few similar on ebay ranging £20-30:- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BILL-DICKENS-THE-COLLECTION-DVD-BASS-GUITAR-FUNK-NEW_W0QQitemZ330378271262QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item4cec145a1e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BILL-DICKENS-THE-COL...=item4cec145a1e[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-The-Budha-Dickens-Funk-Bass-Beyond-Guitar-Video_W0QQitemZ190345845747QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_CD_DVDStorage_SM?hash=item2c517f1bf3"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-The-Budha-Dicke...=item2c517f1bf3[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-Dickens-The-Collection-Bass-Guitar-Tuition-DVD_W0QQitemZ200406591740QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_CD_DVDStorage_SM?hash=item2ea929e8fc"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-Dickens-The-Col...=item2ea929e8fc[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-Dickens-Collection-Bass-Guitar-Tuition-DVD-NEW_W0QQitemZ270324985634QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Music_SheetMusic_RL?hash=item3ef09fef22"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bill-Dickens-Collect...=item3ef09fef22[/url] ...
