Is this still for sale? Pics? I can't find any mention of them online

I bought Dave's Markbass SA450 head a couple of weeks ago. Dave was very helpful, friendly and fair, and now that I've done a few shows with the SA450 I can happily say I am chuffed to bits with my purchase.

Tip: Markbass heads love Epifani cabs!

Cheers Dave!

Stuee.

Sounds interesting, Alistair. Looking forward to the pics... got any dimensions please?

Also, how does 6 ohms work out with, say, an additional 8 ohm cabinet? What is 8+6 in ohms, and do you think a Markbass SA450 will complain? (The SA450 is 500W into 4 ohms / 250W into 8 ohms)

Cheers, Stuee.

Let's give this another go + price drop BUMP! :-)

Bugger!

Ooooh dear. I would like very much to own this bass.
But errr, B string tuner? ;-)

[quote name='flyfisher' post='1267481' date='Jun 13 2011, 04:19 PM']Is it possible to block any uploads larger than a certain size? Another forum I use won't allow any photos with a width of more than 500 pixels, which forces members to shrink them before uploading and keeps the filesizes very small.[/quote]

Some images need to be large. Pics of wiring, damage, or anything with a lot of detail. This is fine, [b]they can appear large on screen without being massive files[/b]. People just need to be mindful of what they're posting.

Personally I find it frustrating when I want to check out something in the classifieds and the pics are tiny; they're virtually pointless. It's all about compression, not resolution.

The picture below is 2080 x 1416 pixels, but the file size is only 198KB and it still looks good. Not all images need to be anywhere near this big, but if you're trying to sell/buy something, or show off your handiwork, whatever, it's very useful and doesn't have to ruin the server.

Cropping your photos can also save a fair bit of size, especially if the background is very busy like in a garden or gig setting.

For me, it's just timing - things are quiet at the mo :/

I have a black one of these that I've owned & loved since Fender GBI gave it to me in 1996, & I'd buy a second one with no hesitation, if only I had the cash. These are excellent basses, very versatile, great players & great sounding.

This is crazy cheap!!

What's your location please, Mr. Jayblaze? We can'ne collect it if we dun'ne know where it is

Oh, and does it come with a case?

Please stop SHOUTING!

Seriously though, better at least edit your title so it's not in ALL CAPS. It's against the rules & completely unnecessary.

Fascinating bass though

There still seems to be a great deal of confusion (or disagreement) about the eBay Links forum, even among the staff.

[quote name='tauzero' post='1135673' date='Feb 21 2011, 03:59 PM']But ebay links isn't for advertising your auctions, it's for discussion of auctions.

I suppose the corollary to this is that it's not subject to the same "don't criticise prices" rule as applies to "For sale", so we can abuse auctions advertised here as much as we like for whatever reasons.[/quote]
Yes indeed, I know. I was responding to MB1 who appeared to be requesting an eBay link when it was already there. At least I assumed that's what he meant as he's not new to BC so should know what the eBay Links forum is for.

.:EDIT:. Oh I see, the whole topic's been moved from the correct place to the wrong place. Err... WTF?

Of course, but I think you can tell a lot about sellers by their listings. And I'll leave it at that.

I see 3 stands and 3 PMs

[quote name='thebrig' post='1134112' date='Feb 20 2011, 10:18 AM'][size=2]Just received some cables that Dave (OBBM) made for me.

Don't think I will bother making my own now.

I'll never be able to make anything as good![/size][/quote]
Very wise. Much like with bass playing, buying an expensive iron and top quality solder won't get you a good solder joint without a certain level of skill, and it's a lot harder than it looks!

Seriously, the guy wants [b][i]five and a half grand[/i][/b] for this bass, and he lists it with one very poor photo, and a vague description all in small type.

So like I said: How lazy can you be for £5,500?! I find this absolutely mind boggling. Gah!

Apparently, Wojtek is using Mayones basses now. He has 8 of them, b@stard
Not really a surprise though seeing as they are also Polish.

P.S. The Marlin Sidewinder was (no offence) one of the worst basses ever made. As a teenager I remember pointing and laughing at one hanging up in an Exchange & Mart, saying, "Hahaha that's [i]your[/i] bass that is!!" to my friend. He then punched me quite hard, such was the severity of his offence. He had a Westone Thunder 1A, I had a Thunder III... wish I'd never sold that

He has provided an eBay link, MB1.. ??

Teddy, £20 is very steep for shipping. Presumably you'd be OK with the buyer arranging collection by his own courier?

Hi Tom, your Flickr links are dead and you don't appear to have any pics of basses at all on your account.

Would you could you please?

Thanks, Stuee.

Hi Steven,
Would you please have a quick look at the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=SR&f=19"]RULES AND GUIDELINES ON MARKETPLACE USAGE[/url].
It's very short and concise but will help you to sell your item and us to have confidence in you & what you are selling.

Cheers, Stuee.

The clue's in the forum sub-title: "This forum is for the discussion of Ebay auctions. Please do not promote your own auctions. If you have something to sell, please use the For Sale forums."

But as people apparently aren't reading this, perhaps the title should be changed to make this clearer, e.g. [b]eBay Discussion[/b]

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1128345' date='Feb 15 2011, 01:48 PM']They may carry a small amount of influence (perhaps that's why most strings are tipped with silk - to dampen any sympathetic response) but I theorise (no proof folks just opinion ) that after the string has past the nut and gone through a break angle it no longer carries sufficient influence on the main part of the string and what little that could be transfered to the pickup while the main part of the string is vibrating is so minute as to be negligible.
You can of course cause the headstock section of strings to vibrate "prrring" which will then in turn set off a slight harmonic response on the main length of the strings but only if they are not played at the same time.[/quote]
I agree, but my point was that the same is true at the other end. Once the string has passed over the saddle there is very little vibrational energy left in it, yet there is very little argument as to the importance and effectiveness of a good, solid bridge. And then there's the old string-through body/bridge debate.

I always thought the silk wrap was to offer more grip & some protection to the tuners.
