  1. Cheers mate. I'm fed up with it just sitting there doing nothing. I foned up guitarguitar about a trade in but they only offered £100. Really dont think its worth letting go at that. £150 is about as low as I am prepared to go
  2. I can probably clear any confusion here. Unless I am missing a but-load of sarcasm. I have the same Ritter gig bag. No idea if its related in any way to Jens (prob not) and this guy just doesnt realise its a stagg bass starter kit with a ritter bag!
  3. Finally decided to get rid of my VBC412. Been trying (not very hard) for a little while now. Its the 400W@4ohm jobbie and is damn loud. Surprisingly the tolex is still in great nick but it has lost a castor along the way so I removed the rest. Will obviously include these in the sale or trade. Its just too big to hump to and from gigs so looking for something smaller to pair with my 2x10. Would take £150 or a trade for a 2x10 or possibly 1x15. Either would have to be rated at 4 ohms to match the rating from my Ashdown Superfly. It would be easier if you were at least from Scotland but could ship. Would prob cost more than a small African nation to do that though 'cause of the size. Can get some pictures for anyone interested on Sat night as its up in the pub we practice at.
  4. It is now. Sold my car last week but when I still had it... prob not. All my gear on the other hand: Amps cabs AND Basses were more than likely worth more than my car though.
  5. [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='317974' date='Oct 29 2008, 09:51 PM']Can anybody who knows this Kings of Leon song manage to count their way through the intro? It's a weird syncopated guitar part and a riffy thing on the bass but I just can't pin down where the bar starts and stops. Once the verse comes in it's all dead easy of course. Anybody help? I'd like to write it all down for the band and I'm a bit stuffed.[/quote] We learned it the other week and its going down a storm at the few gigs we've played it at. I have no musical training so cant help you with timing or any of the other parts sorry mate. I just played along with the intro on repeat til I had it sussed. Like you said once it all kicks in its fine but the first bass notes are awkward. Or maybe I just aint that good (well I know I aint lol). Prob no help at all but the initial slide is early in the bar so you can slide away down then come back up for the next bar.
  6. Sold me his G&L Tribute. Easy transaction and delivered in 2 days Good guy.
  7. I'm going to have to watch this. I am thinking about selling my Thunder 2. Dont really want to but I just spent £360 on a G&L.
  8. [quote name='rumour6' post='314319' date='Oct 25 2008, 02:06 AM']Hi there, 'hum' wise i'd say yes.. they all do to an extent...what it is is that you can hear the digital power supply 'working' as the sample rate is a tad too low.... Ashdown did the design, but our friends in the far east fabrcated it to a price.... if your cab has a horn and your hearing is extended enough you'll be 'aware' of it... if no piezo horn you won't hear a thing. even if your cab has a horn you'd only be aware of it in a quiet room: you'll never hear a thing at a gig. Hope this helps. There are no issues with it at all: i've used it at gigs before i got the iAMP with an EBS 2x12 and a Yammy 2x10 with horn in venues up to about 300.[/quote] I think these amps get a fair amount of undue abuse. I have used mine solid at gigs for the past 2 years and it is fine. Sure as a bedroom amp at REALLY quiet volumes it may get a bit annoying but not at a gig. Not gonna buy it from ya mate but thought I would at least stick up for the powerful little beast. At £100 you prob wont find anything as good.
  9. Man I am tempted by this. Does it have a hardcase or anything with it? Are those straplocks fitted too?
  10. They have definitely came into there own over the years. I remember when I saw them at T in the park the last few years (they love it up here lol) awesome live band. I thought they were all a lot older til they all had a shave!
  11. [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='262004' date='Aug 13 2008, 10:39 PM']I read this in the voice of "Fonejacker" , So obviously a scam.[/quote] Me too The original seller wasnt called George Agdegwengo was it?
  12. [quote name='mr pablo' post='244143' date='Jul 20 2008, 11:28 PM']If I didn't have all my next months pay caught up in sorting out my other P bass I'd maybe have been able to have it back from ye Bob, I'd swap you my 2x10 for it but its an 8ohm cab . . . . . . . have a Bump on me [/quote] The swap would be braw but I am looking for another 4 ohm jobbie to match my other cab. cheers for the bump though.
  13. I have a marshall 4x12 400w cab that has lost its casters. Other than that it is in great shape. I am just fed up lugging it around to gigs so am gonna get another 2x10 to match my Alien cab. Sounds great with my little Superfly head only giving out 250W. The previous owner had the full marshall valve head to match and says it runs even better with a valve head unit. Looking for £200 but obviously due to size it would have to be a local pickup in Fife. Drop me a PM if you are interested. Will take some pics if anyone wants them but its up in the practice room atm so will have to wait till Monday.
  14. [quote name='thedarxide' post='211643' date='Jun 3 2008, 11:17 AM']Am I correct in thinking that jazz bass pickguards vary in size between the models? How different is this sizing? I've got two J copies, one scratchplate I ordered fit perfectly on one, the other needs modifying a little to fit the bell plate, but otherwise it lines up. Have I been lucky, or are the differences not that noticable?[/quote] I may be wrong but I think the main difference is in the amount of screws and screw position. I had to shave a little for the neck pocket of my MIM when I got a replacement but nearly all the screwholes were out.
  15. I used a HH B100 amp for a few years. Got it on ebay for a decent price after getting fed up running through the PA. I tried to sell it on here months ago but got no bites. It sits under my stairs incase I need a back up one day.
  16. Bought a Boss pedal case form Oldhorse. Not had the chance to try it yet but no doubt its all good. [size=1]Better be after the wait I had [/size] I kid, I kid. Went smoothly enough and the delay was well explained and understandable.
  17. I have a few pedals but not a board as such. I am waiting on a Boss case from Oldhorsemurphy so when it comes I will post a pic. Nothing fancy but covers most of what I need.
  18. [quote name='BB2000' post='191995' date='May 5 2008, 02:14 AM']Actually, I guess they are worth that. I was wondering today if I'd sell my favourite Wal for £2700 --- and I wouldn't.[/quote] Valid point. I suppose its all relative. I couldnt justify any more than £2k for a bass.
  19. I played one just like it at the start of last month at a jam session I played at. Very nice bass but have to agree that £2700 is a bit much.
  20. If i remember right from a previous thread its what they use at the factory to hang while the finish sets. But it was also suggested as a tiny smuggling stash. I have one on my Jazz.
  21. Well last week it was Longview for my covers band and I am supposed to learn The Enemy: You're not alone but havent had time so just gonna wing it. It doesnt sound to hard so cant see me having any trouble.
  22. [quote name='Muppet' post='171138' date='Apr 7 2008, 08:24 AM']I'm with Steve - Boston straplocks. Exactly the same as the Schallers (and are compatible too) but with two nuts that lock against each other. A dab of threadlock helps too is you're paranoid.[/quote] I use schallers with a touch of loktite and have never had a problem. I did buy a set of Boston ones from someone off here a while back and I will vouch that they are totally compatible. I also really like the extra locking nut on them as a peace of mind thing but like I said my Schallers have never failed on me [b]yet[/b]
  23. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='174234' date='Apr 10 2008, 11:27 PM']The Kooks were not up to much and whats with the pretty boy bass player - should not be allowed [/quote] It wasnt so much the pretty boy bass player that got me but Tom Baker from his Dr Who days on lead Guitar!
  24. [quote name='xgsjx' post='170157' date='Apr 5 2008, 10:46 AM']Thanks for the welcome. I'm from Perth (as of recent anyway).[/quote] Welcome mate. I am up your way fairly often to watch the Super Jays
