    [quote name='david_l_perry' post='264440' date='Aug 18 2008, 11:25 AM']I bought this when I got my LMK last year and have [i]never [/i]used it. Stock shot:- Retail at around £30ish New, boxed, completely unused, simply never needed it. £15 including postage pm me for a sale Dave[/quote] I'll take it if it's still available Keith

    [quote name='steviedee' post='266161' date='Aug 20 2008, 11:06 AM']Another luthier I spoke seemed to be very reasonable told me you didn't always need to take the top off you can glue the bass but there is always a chance the cracks will reopen, you know considering the bass cost around £25 its a risk I might take, this guys sounded spot on but was really busy and you know I fancy a wee shot on the bass you know how it is [/quote] Looks like these have come from a school music department. The top has to come off that 1/2 size to repair the crack. The wood has shrunk too much to re-glue. It needs a fillet, not filling! You are now the "Curator" of two old basses. Don't spoil this instrument by botching it, for the sake of a few quid.

    Hi Phil, sorry but Warwicks have never appealed to me. cheers Keith [quote name='ALFIE NOAKES 900' post='265463' date='Aug 19 2008, 01:23 PM']Keith, Thanks for the reply. Sounds perfect (and I'm sure it does) - would a straight swap for a Warwick 4 string $$ be of any interest to you? Regards, Phil[/quote]

    [quote name='ALFIE NOAKES 900' post='265114' date='Aug 19 2008, 12:09 AM']Hi - is the cab still available, and how much would you accept for it? And what's the impedance? Regards, Phil[/quote] Hi Phil, the cab is 4ohm both are still available although someone is interested in the amp only. Pricewise £325 could meet half way or I'm driving to cornwall from yorkshire maybe thursday this week if your anywhere inbetween! cheers Keith

    Nice lot! great price. Could be expensive to repair though! To repair a crack in the top, the top has to come off! I have a mid 19th cent German flatback that had cracks repaired some years ago at a cost of over £800 according to its previous owner. This book [u]http://www.henrystrobel.com/booklist.htm#bass[/u] is worth a read, but it costs nearly as much as your bargain trio! That lower bout crack needs a proffessional repair, don't bodge it! Please try and preserve these old instruments. cheers Keith

  7. Mr Bassman
    Cheers for the bump Joe. I might just sell the amp and keep the cab 'cos it's so light & versatile, & has a small footprint, which is great for tight spaces! You can also place the cab horizontally it on top of a 1X 15 without breaking your back!

    Wal's...

    Mr Bassman replied to bassjamm's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='6stringbassist' post='245325' date='Jul 22 2008, 01:13 PM']Did Wal ever make a 6 string, I'm sure I saw one once in a shop called the Embassy in Mansfield.[/quote] Pete introduced the Wal 6 in 1994 I met him at one of the trade fairs in London and he showed me a photo of a prototype 6string with the new mach 111 body (which was designed for the six, & later built as a five for Laurence Cottle) I asked him to make me one, which he did. I took delivery in August 94 and used it as my main bass for about 5 years.

    Having trouble attaching pics for some reason. I can email some pics to anyone interested.

    I've got Evah Pirazzi on my carved bass and Yamaha SLB100 They are an improvement on Obligato They bow and pizz well and give the best sound I've ever had on any upright.

    [quote name='phatmonkey' post='241053' date='Jul 16 2008, 04:38 PM']How big is the space for the mixer?[/quote] the mixer space is 17 3/8" (44 c.m.) front to back with threaded rack strip either side. I don't have a rack kit for my mixer so I fixed it to a piece of board and sat it on top of the rack strips. I could get some pics

    [quote name='Toasted' post='240964' date='Jul 16 2008, 03:30 PM']Hamster, I'm going to be singing Kraftwerk covers . . . . Kidding. It's not really for "singing" it's really for "ear training". No, it doesn't make sense to me either [/quote] I've got the Korg DTR 200 which has a built in mic and sound generator if you fancy trying it!

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='225366' date='Jun 23 2008, 08:57 PM']This is a great sounding American made, lightweight portable rig for smaller venue or larger venue with F.O.H. P.A. The small head comes with an Ampeg gig bag. The cab has a removeable trolley style telescopic handle, and a tilt back handle underneath, rated at 400w it has 2x10" neo drivers and a variable h.f. unit. Open to offers or trades for Markbass 2x10 or 1x12 combo, acoustic image, a.e.r. or anything upright. Original r.r.p. was around £699 each (as far as I can remember) May split. Can take to bash on Sunday! would prefer local pick up or delivery. [attachment=9970:PB250_bag.jpg] [attachment=9969:PB250.jpg] [attachment=9968:PB_210H.jpg] Will sort some pics later if anyone is interested.[/quote] I took it to the bass bash but nobody bought it 'cos they spent all their money on beer & raffle tickets! So it's still available
