    Thanks man! as its such a good example, ide say in the region of £880. just so i can get a sterling or stingray! but i can move around on the price! but as you can understand i dont want to pay out any of my own money to trade it for a sterling/stingray

    Oh yeah I suppose it is! Why is the bridge so far forward though?! Bit of an uninspiring eBay ad for such an expensive bass. Why would someone sell a new custom guitar though?

    [quote name='cocco' post='1334277' date='Aug 9 2011, 10:02 PM']This used to be mine, it's a blinder of a bass! I shifted it for the same reason it's being shifted now. Its a killer bass, if you like that sort of thing [/quote] Playing it is awesome fun too! its the best bass i have tbh, but that dont really mean anything when you prefer the look of a stingray haha i did my grade 8 on it!!!! and got 19/20 on all three pieces! so it have good luck in the basswood grain!

    The pictures say it all.... •No fret ware •Equipped with fresh Rotosound swings •Sapphire Black (metallic flawless finish) •Beautiful leather case 30th anniversary! •wonderful low action! (see pictures) •Properly set up! the nut is cut correctly too... •limitless tonal options from 18v pre •Actually not that ugly for a bongo... •I look after my gear and take pride in owning such expensive a lovely instruments to its very well looked after. WHY AM I MOVING IT ON?! I really miss the stingray... and always wanted a sterling! so i trade with a similar condition of the two would be wonderful. if yours is a good runner, but a little tatty (and or no OHC) i would expect cash my way. Okay... now for the pictures. Oh and if your involved in the looting/rioting your not allowed it.

    Compresser

    Robert Manning replied to TRBboy's topic in Effects

    [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1325115' date='Aug 3 2011, 12:32 AM']I disagree that there's no such thing as a better compressor, compressors should be inaudible while they do their job, bad compressors always sound very obvious whereas a good one will be more subtle. You could argue that some people want to use their compressor as an effect rather than for it's intended purpose but that's a whole different ball game. Also saying that a compressor is an automated volume knob is vastly over simplifying. The way that it interacts with frequencies, especially on multi band compressors, can be very versatile, not to mention the attack and threshold controls. It does work by changing your volumes, but the way they do it means it's not that simple.[/quote] I know what I'm talking about. Ive studied music production for two years and work on logic all day everyday. I also know what a multiple band compresser is. I wanted to share some insight in a simply way Cheers

    Compresser

    Robert Manning replied to TRBboy's topic in Effects

    A compressor is an automated volume knob. Dynamic processor. Buy one and have a play. make sure it has ratio threshold attack release and gain. The one knob compressors are all those variants being moved around in an algorithm, worked out by the manufacture. At the end of the day too there's no such this as a better comp unit, only different (okay some may be unusable due to being poorly made etc). They have different circuitry's that leave there own unique Mark on the processed sound. in essence a compressor is just an automated volume control, adjusted by the parameters which are veritable on the signal they receive. And different makes effect sound by adding subtle harmonics. (not the bass harmonics or music theory) the "physics" kinda harmonics. Cheers!

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='1304952' date='Jul 15 2011, 06:11 PM']Sweeet.. very cool mate.. the maple neck certainly adds some edge to the jazz bass tone.. more the gloss than the maple IMO though.. is that Inca silver or Firemist? or neither.. got to be inca being an S1..?[/quote] Thanks man! i like how the maple has aged a bit too, give a little bit of a played in look. i have no idea on what colour it is!, underneath the bridge its certainly a lot lighter than the rest of the body, so the colour has darkened alot over the years!, i always thought it was blizzerd pearl, or the same finish under a diff name, who knows!, if anyone on hear does know id appreciate the insight! it used to have a black Scratch plate also
