  1. Hey Jimmy. Apologies for my slack response. Am having some computer issues. I appreciate your reply man and although I would love a Precision and especially a '78 (birth year and all that) I am in need of monies. If you get chance though check out a VB acoustic. Not like any normal acoustic bass. Utterly playable like a well set up electric but somewhat lacking in volume and depth when compared with the larger bodied stuff like Takamine, Tacoma and even Ibanez.

    Thats why I bought it though.

    Regards.

  2. Need to clear some debt and sadly two of my fave basses are in the firing line. Firstly :

    [u][font="Arial Black"]Marcus Miller 5 String Jazz[/font][/u]

    All specs at this URL [url="http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0197802834"]Marcus 5 string[/url]

    This particular one is the gorgeous vintage white model. Comes with Fender hardcase and all relevant bits and bobs.

    I paid £1500 looking for £1300.

    [u][font="Arial Black"]Victor Bailey 4 string Acoustic Bass[/font][/u]

    All specs at this URL [url="http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0953300221"]Victor Bailey Acou[/url]

    This plays like a dream. Jazz profile neck, ultra low action (though if you preferred a quick truss rod tweak will raise it) and lovely tone. Comes with supplied Fender Gig bag.

    Looking for £550 ono.

    I live in Manchester and will post out so long as buyer pays postage but would much prefer someone to come look these over before hand. Both in stunning condition and both hard to find in regular stores.

    Please feel free to PM me if you wish to know more or see photos.

    Thanks for looking. Darryll.

  3. Okie Dokie so not had a great response thus far. I am looking for £450 per head, though offers in that region will be considered.

    I know cosmetics aren't great but these are serious amps worthy of a good few years service. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to assist. A whole bunch of folks on here know me and can vouch (I hope :) ) that I'm not some jerk off.

    Thanks for looking regardless.

  4. Previously these amps were used for hire purposes so have been gigged and therefore bear some cosmetic damage. Also I used them as back up amps when on tour. I have just recently had them fully serviced by a great tech over Stockport way so they are in full working order and well cleaned. With my tube-path being my favoured amp they are surplus to my requirements right now and to be perfectly honest we just need to get some cash in band coffers to help us get our new album finished.

    • 1000 W @ 4 ohms
    • Voicing section with controls for Bottom, Contour, Growl and Attack
    • Additional switchable 3-band EQ with parametric mids
    • 2-way Boost switch
    • Adjustable Compressor
    • Parallel FX loop
    • DI out with Pre/Post and ground lift switches, Tuner out, Line out
    • Footswitch connector for Boost and EQ
    • Weight: 19 kg

    Open to reasonable offers and collection is preferred but if the buyer wishes to pay carriage costs then I'll see what can be done. These are heavy amps though! ;)

    Just drop me a PM. Many thanks, Darryll.




  5. I owned and gigged one for 3 or so years and absolutely loved it. In that time it never went wrong on a gig up until the point where the valve went. After a quick service and re-valve it was back on form. By this point though I had a new rig so it went somewhere in exchange for cash.

    Mine was a pre-fender model if that makes any difference (speculative I'm sure).

    Bottom line is. Wish I still had it!!

    The overdrive is nice. Probably comparable with any decent valve based drive pedal (to be fair though it has been a while since I heard one). It never was quite filthy enough for me but then my favourite drive sound comes from my M80+ which I used with the 750x and also with my present rig.

    The suboctave though I thought was great. Tracked really tight and much more satisfying than the ashdown circuit.

    So yeah I re-iterate. Wish I still had it.

  6. Hey Jake. Sounds great man. Some familiar faces in that group too. Gotta love Mike Walker!!

    I remember one evening Richard giving me a lift back from BOTW and playing me some Donald Fagen (which album it was escapes me) and it was another of those eye opening experiences!

    Take it easy squire.

  7. Not sure whether I've put this up before so apologies. Its me big, bastard loud Tubepath 10.1 and two ND411 cabs. I split it down for smaller shows and when space is at a premium but love playing with the full rig. Its a great sounding amp with which I've been very happy but alas my head has been turned by another!! I'll save further details until I know if its possible. Anyway for now this is what I use and its wicked!

  8. Cheers Mike. Things are certainly going well for us right now but I predict nothing and expect less :) Avoids any disapointment.

    Just getting stuck into writing the 2nd album and things are sounding pretty good (IMO :huh: ha ha ha) '07 was such a rollercoaster ride and I am expecting nothing less of '08. Take care man and nice to make your acquaintance again. Its been quite a while.

  9. [quote name='Toasted' post='117508' date='Jan 9 2008, 10:48 PM']Dazza, how's it going for you mate? I hear things are hotting up for Profane. Can't be long before I have to beg for guestlist for your shows. Remember those of us who came and froze our balls off in Jabez Clegg etc. for you![/quote]

    Not too bad mate. Things are going good that much is true. Here's hoping for the guestlist thing :) No worries with putting you on. Take it easy squier.
