    As a bass player, chord inversions and contrary motion are two of your greatest friends.

    I think Tony Grey?

    You need an escrow service [url="https://www.escrow.com/index.asp"]https://www.escrow.com/index.asp[/url] or [url="http://www.pppay.com/"]http://www.pppay.com/[/url] might be better for UK transactions.

    I stumbled across [url="http://www.flightcasepro.co.uk/"]this[/url] the other day. Gig Skinz gear for knock down prices. Nicer looking and better made than the usual Stagg stuff and you can get it for the same price.

    [quote name='Catalin' post='254478' date='Aug 4 2008, 03:01 PM']Guys can you tell me in what year was made this amp ? Here is the serial number: T0105.0144 Model: VTYPE-H0 Can you tell me how the EQ works? What are the bass mid and treble freq. ?[/quote] The original V-Type preamp has a passive EQ. With the tone knobs set to 12 o'clock and deep, bright and mid shift all off, the EQ curve has a slight mid cut. Boosting or cutting the different bands affects the others.

    It hasn't been doctored. It was taken on a compact digital camera at one of the indoor stages. I guess you could call it a fluke.

    My friend snapped this shot of the bass player from 'The Rotted' being given a proper send off during his last ever gig with the band at Wacken Open Air. I think it's one of the best live shots I've ever seen. [attachment=12129:n8100806...128_8325.jpg]

    I've bought them both I'm afraid.

    I bought a pair of Schroeder cabs from Greg on behalf of a friend. Great seller, really nice,helpful guy and it was a pleasure to chat to and do business with him. The cabs are in fantastic condition and he even dropped them off! I've just given the two cabs a quick run through and they're great. I've spoken to my mate and he can;t wait to come and pick them up. Thank you.

    Good seller. My mate willbe very happy with his new Little Mark II.

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='259175' date='Aug 10 2008, 11:15 AM']Did you notice that it has a Fender USA neck plate but what looks like the remains of a Jap serial number on the heel. Any ideas?[/quote] 90s Fenders are an odd one. I have a HM series bass which has 'Made in USA' on the headstock, but everyoneI've spokento says it's a Japanese instrument. If the Fender Electro-Acoustic is too much dosh,check out a Godin G4.

    Ta. As Merton says - compact but heavy. Tone is to die for - lovely and warm and serious bottom end. I've used this combo live when my old Hartke head was in for repair and it was great.
  16. bassbloke
    Do you have one or two of these for sale?
  17. bassbloke
    Bump. Any offers of lightweight cabs entertained on this spiffing little rig.

    A close friend of mine is looking to sell his Trace Elliot V-Type 4 x 8" combo and a 1153 15" cabinet. The V-Type was, IMHO, Trace Elliot's finest hour. The preamp features a gain, passive 3 band EQ with mid shift, activated by pulling on mid control and deep and bright switches and master. Finally, there is a DI out with pre/post switch and ground lift. The retro looked is completed with old fashioned knobs and a nice green light. The combo is I believe rated at 290W into 4 Ohms and around 200W into 8Ohms. The extension cab is a Trace Elliot 1153 - so not the incredibly rare V-Type cabinets, but a good piece of kit. It's all in great working order. I replaced the 2 stock tubes with a pair of Sovtek/EHX12AX7s. My friend loves this rig, but he's been working overseas for a few years and needs a small rig he can easily transport. [b]£500[/b] I'm currently looking after this for him, so any interested parties are welcome to come round and give it a bash.

    I've had a couple of offers that I'm considering, but I thought I'd see if there was any other interest in this unique bass.

    [quote name='Rich' post='244562' date='Jul 21 2008, 04:48 PM']At this exact precise moment, it's 'Operation:mindcrime' by Queensryche.[/quote] 4 completely wicked riffs entered my head within seconds of reading this post. Operation Mindcrime was one of the first metal albums I purchased. I like to think I started in style. What am I listening to, Fireproven by Scarve from the album Irradiant. Unbe-F*cking-lievable French Death Metal band. The singer on this album joined the mighty Mnemic.

    Have you heard the latest Planet X album Quantum? Some fantastic playing by Allan Holdsworth and Jimmy Johnson.
  23. bassbloke
    I thought you would be one of the first to respond. It's hurting me to contemplate selling this - It's more 90s extreme metal than a red warlock. It even has a crackle paint finish.

    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='244021' date='Jul 20 2008, 08:09 PM']Are there some serious reliability issues with these then?[/quote] Don't know about the footswitch, but the input and output jacks are direct PCB mounted flush to the edge of the metal casing,which is a recipe for disaster.
