    [quote name='jonnyj' post='782064' date='Mar 21 2010, 08:32 PM']But I dont get this no PM thing, makes no sense. Why cant it be simples?[/quote] Good grief what is with you folks today, is it full moon tonite......? Please tell me where I said a buyer should [u]NOT[/u] PM a seller with an offer.......? What I have clearly put is that the seller should not invite offers using the quoted price as a starting price... i.e "........first firm offer over £XXXs secures" The OPs line- "Everyones in the same boat... pm me an offer!" ........is clearly inviting offers and has not stated whether thats above or below the asking price. Had the OP not put that post, this would not be a discussion, and I would be having a beer.

[color="#0000FF"]From this thread - [/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71363&st=0&p=691868&#entry691868"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry691868[/url] [color="#0000FF"]Ought to spell it out. [/color] "Everyones in the same boat... [u]pm me an offer!"[/u] [color="#0000FF"]Is inviting potential buyers to offer closed door bids. Not what is expected on here. [/color] "PM me" [color="#0000FF"]would be more acceptible as this is not an auction site. I am seeking to make this a standing rule in the market guidlines to clear this point up [/color]

You have quoted a price and you can invite folks to PM you but please keep within the guidelines please! Bob.

    Did you get the $$ to fill a specific need? If so the P wont fill those boots. P's do have a certain something that is hard to extract from other basses!

    After the reworking of a Warwick Streamer for one of our new members I now have a hankering for a Rockbass streamer std f-less. I dont know why - but I'm hoping I've cured that buying another PRS......
  11. The Burpster
    Bloody hell its good...... I can see why PRS kept it in his private noodling selection for as long as he did. I feel honored to own this one!!!!!!!

    [quote name='bassmanAzz' post='780208' date='Mar 19 2010, 08:50 PM']any suggestions where i could give one a go? or where i could get one from the net? [/quote] They regularly pop up for sale in the US on the 'bay...... Which is not surprising as thats where most were sold. eg. (you just missed one in California that sold for $999 (about £650) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380206585380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] As to giving one a noodle.... they are remarkably rare in the UK so finding one nearby wouldn't be that easy. I would very surprised if however you bought one and didnt like it. Besides you could always sell it and get your money back!

    For £1k you could pick up a used PRS EB-IV - all the bass you'd ever need (unless of course you needed 5 strings) with a D-tuner!

    [quote name='Jimelliottbassist' post='779360' date='Mar 19 2010, 06:38 AM']What's the best courier company to use?[/quote] Any one that doesnt mash you bass up. I beleive there are horror stories about most companies - but I have found you get what you pay for! DHL are very good transatlantic - Other than that I dont have lot of experience of UK ones although I am assured that DPD are reliable.

    'scuse my ignorance but what is a silencer.....? I know what they are for cars, bikes and guns......but musical instruments.... And why would you need 0% for one...?
  18. The Burpster
    Should be here Friday, had a great chat with the g'tar tech at Abs Sols. (Robin) Top bloke and owns a PRS EB4 too! Double top bloke!

    [quote name='Beedster' post='776523' date='Mar 16 2010, 06:21 PM']Please excuse my ignorance folks, but I've used mainly solid state amps until this year. Could you let me know the likely symptoms (on sound, performance etc) of a) an old valve that needs replacing, or a faulty valve. Thanks Chris[/quote] You'll know when one goes wrong.....! FWIW have a full set on stand-by. Expesnive maybe.... but better than waiting for a new set and being ampless! As said above they are not that fragile of treated with a bit of respect. (my guitard has had the same set in his MM RD amp for 30yrs and not so much as a pop)

    Well its nice to know somthings work out in my favour. Seems the guy that pulled the trigger on this last week couldnt pay....... So it was back up for sale for a day...... Now its mine...... MMMMMMwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaahahahahahah!
  21. The Burpster
    Think you'll find they are std pitch 4-40 thread like most US bits. Available here at much cheapness....! [url="http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/"]http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/[/url]

    Although not my 'thing' I'd say that was worth £200 of anyones money. Clearly alot of attention paid to the details, and whilst it may be a one off it is a very nice bass.
  23. The Burpster
    Yep sounds good plan. Be careful of getting 'ripped' with Mullard tho' they havent been made for a long time and all sorts of folks are claiming they NOS..... The Mesa tubes are selected Russian tubes but TBH I dont really care for 2 reasons. They are sold by Mesa so they come with thier back up, and they sound superb!

    Thank for the detailed reply. I didn't even realise my carbine had 2 pre amp valves, I thought it had 1. I might give them a try, just for an experiment. Cheers thebassman _________________________________________________________________ Bassman, the Carbine series do only have one 12AX7 - The M-pulse series have 2.! Bob.
  25. The Burpster
    Mine is a walkabout scout 112. Same set up as the M-pulse 600 just smaller MOSFETs. It uses 2x 12AX7s in the preamp stage (same as the M-pulse 600 and Carbine series). The change was hard to describe, but if I said it makes it richer does that make sense...? Its sound was a bit clinical (hi-fi) to me before the valve change now it seems deeper, and thicker without feeling muddy or distorted. My gitar'd who is a complete tone freek (tone is everything!) just said "wow" and thought it had a voodoo hex cast upon it. EVERYTHING else in the chain was the same so its not down to a combination of changes. The best way I can descirbe is relating it to coffee... do you drink yours black? If so you'll undertsand this. std= Nescafe 12AX7SP = Columbian ground coffee from a cafetiere. Oh and I got mine from hotrox nottingham.
