    SOLD PENDING - Eden WTX-500 (now with pictures)

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by tremblap

    I bought it Eden WTX-500 used from Prime_bass (see the post on this forum) and it is in perfect condition (apart from a very tiny scratch under the bottom, see if you can see it... I've never seen it before I took the pictures ;-)

    I am happy to sell it for what I paid, which is £280 + Paypal fee if not bank transfered + shipping (whatever option you choose). They sell new for more than twice that price...

    ps if you wonder why I sell, it is because I would like to find a lightweight amp that reproduces my 1st generation WT-400... unmatcheable, even after owning a Shuttle 6, an Acoustic Image, a TC RH450, a Headlite... and this one!

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted

    Very much what i am looking for in term of nuanced (though your mix is a little too compressed ;-)

    Any tricks/methods/exercices for the picking you suggest?

    thanks

    ps you got me curious about the bass, pickup, electronics and string types? Can you feed us a bit of background? Piezo I presume...

    Steve Swallow Picking Technique

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted

    Dear all

    I played finger style for 22 years now, and the only thing I know to do with a pick is scratch the strings, or play steady downpicking loudly...

    I would like to spend more time with a pick to explore new sonorities, in a subtle phrasing way like Steve Swallow is so good at doing... but I know how hard it is to loose a bad habit, so I would like pointers at

    a) a good, decent grip and right hand technique in general (the hour of youtube perusing just gave me blunt punk downpicking... nothing against it when I need it, but that is already in the pocket ;-)

    B) some clever exercices to make the thing fluid.

    I am not afraid of practicing so no magic trick required: just the right instructions... a bit like the epiphany I had when I was 17 and got a first good bass teacher (a real one, not a guitar guy) that told me to alternate fingers and damp the remaining strings, checked my back and shoulders and gave me the right basics (btw, his teaching is great, he now made methods and did some free videos: they are amazing and they are here: http://www.howtopracticebass.com/)

    Any good pointer welcome.

    I just ordered a Matamp :D

    I don't want to start a flame war, and Jeff sounded like a very nice, generous guy on the phone, so I would not want to ask him about this... but where can I read the other side of the story which is full of poison on the Matamp USA website? I presume there is a UK/Jeff version to this story?

    Anyway, I am in Huddersfield and about to go there with my other amps to order something (GT-200 or a modded 1224, not certain... only my test session will tell ;-)
