http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/aria-pro-ii-bass-guitar/1035615718#photo-content as the title says - cheap for a nice aria if you're local. I hate being sick and off work for a day, I find things like this

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1381919564' post='2245352'] What?? Bass cabs have to be black - it's the law! [/quote] wasn't jamerson's live rig cab blue?

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1381918188' post='2245322'] Rita has returned to her creator (well I fitted the Nordstand and the plate to be precise). I'm not letting her stray again. Peter [/quote] I think Rita must have been sold about a dozen times - but between the same 3 people!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1381918438' post='2245328'] Looks very like Tuff-Cab to me. [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=TUFFCAB5&browsemode=manufacturer"]http://www.bluearan....de=manufacturer[/url] [/quote] if it was.... it would suggest if you asked really nicely (and paid a bit more) that they might just come in other colours!

I have a hiscox case. It's great. It would be the last thing I sold.

But my recording isn't really going to show you the sound of the bass - also my ability to record and also how I play. Some guys on here can make bad basses sound very very very good (and me the opposite).

how are you going to use it? could you make a tone footpedal?

[quote name='elom' timestamp='1381861138' post='2244709'] Thanks guys, going to talk with the seller later tonight. Also the advice on PayPal was spot on, as long as I mark the money transfer as payment for goods then I am covered by their Buyer Protection. So that's the line I'm going to go down. There is 3.4% charge for the seller but I don't mind paying that if I need to. [/quote]I've been keeping track of gumtree basses for a while looking for that elusive thumb bass (now i'm in a place to buy they all dry up) - really wondering what it is you're after! Q... is it north of the border and blue?

so..... the band made this video.... and the bass player was in on it..... my main problem- it's not funny- it's not even a good way to comically damage something - like -they hit it on a door.... that's not funny, or rock and roll... it's just... if you're going to smash something do it well.

I've an ACG preamp in my warwick.... made by East of course

still a thumb....

did look pretty though...

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1381691776' post='2242478'] It's blue and it's a Thumb... what's to like? [/quote] I can't decide if I like painted warwicks or not. Old bluey was ok, as is your red one.... but they were transparent. this looks kinda ok, but roonjuice's one (sorry mate) the grey burst.... on a warwick.... why??

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1381677994' post='2242161'] Not a 98 mate! Does that bass still have the sticker on the control cavity? [/quote] I know it's blue but even you'ld have to say that looks nice!

new prices have shot up. At the same time you're selling something secondhand you're going to keep the new price in mind too- also I don't think folk at the moment are willing to dip their prices to make the sale....

wow. A thought did strike me though.... If I ever played a gig at the top of a high mountain my drivers would be likely to break (or whatever fancy word alex uses) at lower volume than if i played by the dead sea...

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1381571015' post='2240716'] Really? IMO this is pinker... [/quote] I was trying to find a photo of that then I scrolled down and saw you got there first. quite something that bass

I just watched all 3 videos in that series.... if anything he's a bit more down to earth about it than some other more custom builders (or actually the custom builder's fanboys) are about it. I mean what he was saying was that if the neck was higher pitch it would go with a lower pitch body and so on - which kinda makes sense if you've got 20-30 necks and 20-30 bodies and you're wanting to make 20-30 consistentish guitars.

Peavey T40

it's the design of tone stack rather than the fact it's valves i think
