    Reluctantly up for sale is my Sue Ryder bass, in red/rosewood. If you haven't heard of Sue Ryder basses before then, well, where have you been!? Take a look on Basschat/Google them and you'll find plenty of praise for these amazing instruments. This is the keep-at-home bass which I use for practise/writing when my Warwick's out and about, it's my back-up bass for when my Warwick's not out and about and it's... well... just... I love it and typing this hurts. However, GAS has taken over and I find myself in need of some new bass gear to compliment my 'proper gigging' rig (my Warwick never has any issues so the only thing Sue gets to do at gigs is sit in her case). Anyway onto Sue, in more specific Basschat details, it's in pretty mint condition - a couple of tiny marks - more little finish blemishes - just being honest. But no dings (whatever that term really means) or any such thing. I replaced the standard pick-up/electronics with a second-hand Seymour Duncan SP-2 and a Precision wiring 'upgrade kit' from AxesRUs which consists of CTS pots and such. With a solid alder body and a pretty high-mass string-through bridge it sounds pretty darn sweet. On the SD tonechart the pick-up has the following reponse: Bass: 5 Mid: 6 Treble: 5 Punchy. (But I have the original stuff in-case you want to change it back for some reason) Oh, and the tuners are great too. Haven't tuned in a couple of weeks of daily playing and she's still there. For all of this I'm looking for a mere £100ono + postage - looking for money really, but always open to trades, they never hurt anyone. Apologies for the phone pictures, I don't have a camera to hand at the moment, but if requested I could get hold of one Cheers for looking, Ben

    A-level results day bump! Gooood times

    I've got one of those cheap blue plastic ones. Really not that hard to use - I just keep it in the garden and my nephews/nieces love it. Not sure how you'd use it with a guitar though. Although I don't really know much about guitar to be fair

    Any interest in a Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string? Two band EQ, volume, pan and two three-way coil-split switches for running each pick-up as a single coil/humbucker in series/humbucker in parallel!
  9. Ben Jamin
    Familiar sounds, feel and aesthetics. A secure option you can rely on to deliver. Can't really go wrong.

    [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1344946748' post='1771439'] Nice track! Using an earlier "Toaster". I am still breaking down my collection of Forty's but will still end up with maybe five or 6 of them, as keepers. You [i]may [/i]be interested in one of them. So, I'll be in touch, via PM. Cheers. [/quote] Thanks! PM'd back! Yeah he's been using that T-40 for at least a year now alongside his two Precisions - I've noticed a couple of different artists using them recently too. Definite gas!
  11. Ben Jamin
    Bump!
  12. Ben Jamin
    Just spotted Mutemath using a T-40 live, and in a music video (Odd Soul) too. Great band too, some great bass tunes like Obsolete and Armistice I've been after one of these T-40s for ages! If anyone has a spare they'd be willing to let go of let me know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC5Lv7e4j_Y

    Nice one! Those Sandbergs are lovely! The perfect Jazz (albeit the wrong way 'round)

    Tuesday mornin' bump!

    Len's a great guy to deal with, bought an MXR Dyna Comp from me/my brother. Nice and easy transaction. Cheers!

    Only the flightcase left

    [quote name='Matt_Arlita' timestamp='1343148263' post='1746129'] We have the same rig Seeing as it's an absolute beast with just the one Barefaced Cab, I'm looking forward to adding a midget to it and really letting the PF-500 loose! [/quote] Nice! It's a great rig - and it would definitely shift some air with a Midget on top! I was thinking of saving up for one but for me the Compact is plenty darn loud enough as it is - had a gig on Sunday with acoustic drums to my left and a massive cranked valve guitar amp facing my way to my right. Bass in my monitor? Nope
  18. Ben Jamin
    Just tried out a Bad Monkey - it does indeed sound sweet - just turned up the low control and boosted the bass on my Warwick a bit and there it is!
  19. Ben Jamin
    Ampeg PF500 and Barefaced Compact

    I remember playing a '72 all original Telecaster bass in Wunjo Guitars last year... he offered it to me for £1k if I part exchanged my Warwick - not bad! Either way I couldn't afford it, but they let me carry on playing it anyway, good service

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1342868748' post='1742053'] The Juggernaut has been discontinued for ages, searched the net to get one a while ago and when it finally came I was pretty disappointed, sounded nothing like the guitar ones! Lots of people on here use Jackhammers now, they're nice and cheap (about 20 to 30 quid used), and the EQ is pretty versatile and can compensate for any low end loss you might encounter [/quote] Jackhammers look really good! I found a thread where a bloke runs some pink noise through different pedals into a frequency analyser to get an idea of their EQ response with them set flat. Here's a Tech 21 BDDI: And here's a Jackhammer: Not half bad!

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1342863461' post='1741935'] The bass player from The Haunted uses Rat pedals and I actually love his tone so much! Didn't get on with the Juggernaut (bass specific rat) though! Marshall Jackhammers are good too [/quote] Cool, I'll have to check them out! I'd heard the Juggernaut wasn't so great but I haven't tried one - I think I'll just see how long I can, erm, 'borrow' my brothers Rat before he needs it back Marshall Jackhammer? If I'm not careful I'm going to get guitar pedal GAS on top of bass pedal GAS

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1342856819' post='1741860'] Looks like an old one, any idea what year it is? The quality has been slowly declining over the years but I love the old ones, possibly my favourite dirt pedal ever for guitar along with the Harmonic Percolator. Very different beasts though. I got a cheap one off E-bay and swapped out the chip for the classic one. And put in a superbright green LED but I don't think that effects the sound I lent mine to Finbar to try out on bass but he never ended up with one so I'm not sure he got on with it. I believe it's what the guy from Glassjaw used on the 1st album which is why he wanted to try it. [/quote] I don't know exactly what year it is, I just know that my brother bought it second-hand and well used about 17 years ago, so it's quite old! Going to have to check this Harmonic Percolator, it sounds very fun Super-bright? So now it's not only deafening but blinding? You live a dangerous life!

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1342825185' post='1741732'] glad you like the rat II on bass, to me there was far too much bottom end loss. the rat II was better imho [/quote] This Rat's one of the original Rat IIs - I think the current one has a slightly different circuit. Yeah there was a bit of a low-end loss but nothing a bit of EQ can't solve. If you shove a load of bass into it sounds ace imo
  25. Ben Jamin
    I borrowed my brother's ancient and battered RAT II to play Song 2 by Blur as requested at a wedding gig. I was told it should do the job. Oh my life. This pedal's so crazy it actually scares me a little. The distortion is ridiculously thick and nasty. So much fun. Try one out if you can That's all really, I was just compelled to post about it after experiencing it! Okay, I suppose a good topic would be: does anyone else own any guitar pedals then coincidentally sound awesome with bass?
