  1. re-bump, for ziggy to find, or for anyone else (he hasn't got back to me as yet)
  2. [quote name='ziggydolphinboy' post='1216542' date='May 1 2011, 01:48 PM']could be interested for a freinds son where abouts are you based? regards ziggy.[/quote] Hi Ziggy, I'm based in West Brompton, (SW6 1SJ). Under 100m from the tube so you could carry it there if you didn't have a car. Less than 50m from a bus stop for the 74, 190, 430 etc so very accessible, where would you be coming from? Thanks Dan Sent you a PM, just so you know I saw your response!
  3. Bumped again for another price drop. Does no-one want a great little powerhouse of an amp, really? Won't drop the price again guys, will put it on evilbay so PM me now!
  4. Bump for.......just a shameless bump. This is a steal folks, great little amp!
  5. Thanks all, it is currently holding, touch wood, using a coupla matchsticks rammed into a superglue filled hole. Let's hope it lasts! Will look at moving the strap button to the neck heel soonish, she does neck dive like a b***h!
  6. Hi mate, how does the looper work? Thanks Dan
  7. Bump for price drop. Now only £135 picked up from Central London or £150 delivered. Come on folks she's an absolute bargain, done me proud for over 5 years!
  8. Just bought myself a Russian Bassballs off Paul. He was quick to respond and send the thing off, and very informative and understanding to a forum newbie! No qualms with the transaction whatsoever, and very happy with my new pedal! Dan
  9. [quote name='paul_5' post='1209547' date='Apr 23 2011, 09:40 PM']Hi dc, the Synth Bass pedal has just gone unfortunately. They do pop up sporadically on here (or the bay), so I doubt you'll have problems finding another one. I looked at you MySpace page, but then my browser crashed, so I honesty couldn't tell you how to implement this pedal in that band. I'll try to have another look later. Cheers, Paul[/quote] Thanks Paul, it's a fairly stock myspace page so it shouldn't be that that crashed your browser! If you get chance do check it out and PM me your opinion perhaps? Ill certainly be on the lookout for one though I am now quite excited about having a wireless
  10. [quote name='paul_5' post='1208758' date='Apr 22 2011, 11:17 PM']Wireless? Useful, but doesn't do BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHH (etc...) noises.[/quote] hehehehe +1 I think I may consider this, student loan is in in 5 days and we'll see. Don't suppose you would go to my band's myspace (link in the signature) and listen to luck, we're hoping to change the song in order to do a live version (we dont have the keyboard that was used to make the main line, or anyone to play it), and let me know honestly if you think i'd be able to make something work for it with this effects pedal?
  11. If I can't track down a footswitch for my trace I may consider this, having real trouble with the tonal change on the new thunderbird when i change between pick and fingers
  12. Bump for an absolute workhorse of an amp. If you offer high-ish I'll throw in the postage free! This thing is great for practice on your own or with a band, for gigs and recording, samples will be provided to anyone interested. I've been told postage can be as low as a tenner! Or of course, pick up is free, and I'll throw in a cup of tea with that!
  13. [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1208084' date='Apr 22 2011, 11:07 AM']The first batch of Pro IV & Pro V T-birds had the front strap button in the usual neck dive position, but the later ones, including my natural-oil Pro V have it on the back of the neck heel.[/quote] I think this must be from the original run. If I were to move the strap button after trying the matchstick approach (which I think I will do later with large amounts of superglue - anything wrong with this?), to the neck heel area, which would be best to screw into, the walnut or the maple? Thanks for all of the help from various people by the way. Particularly the sandberg club. I feel I should mention that the Sandberg is next on my list of basses to buy.
  14. Hi nick finally got some free time, going to try and fix my bass today, i'll let you know how that goes and give you a verdict soon - how loing should i leave it for before screwing in the button?
  15. god damn you've got me interested again man, i'm tempted by that synth, hmmmmm can't choose between this and a wireless system another BCer has up for sale
  16. Right, after purchase of a half stack this week, my old workhorse of an amp has to go, in order to recoup some of what I've spent. It's a Laney RBW200. I'd say it's loud for its size, particularly with the kickback feature, as it means the sound is coming right at you. You can also add an extension cab (I think 8 ohm minimum) to whack up the volume some more. I've used it in this format at gigs (thrash metal kinda stuff and it had the volume), or mic'd up on its own. It's also seen me through 2 EP recordings, mic'd and DI'd, and if you want to hear some of the sounds of it I can send you some of the songs we made? Really not sure on the age, I'm going to try googling the serial number later today and I'll let you know. It was second hand when I bought it (for I think £240-250ish), but think it had only one previous owner. It still works fine, I've used the thing for 3 years at gigs and band practices (weekly), and the past 2 years just as an in bedroom practice amp. The only thing that doesn't work is the handle, I'm fairly sure the right metal plate has been lost, and the handle was taped up when I got it anyway. This wouldn't be too hard to replace with any amp handle, or just a bit of stiff rubber and a screw! It can also still easily be carried by the lips at the front and back, or just as the whole thing in your arms (somewhere around 25kg I reckon). Some specs (some nicked from elsewhere): Some people seem to be confused as to whether it is a 12" or 15" speaker, I confess I thought it was the latter, but not sure now. It also has a 2" tweeter/horn, which can be switched on or off. The large speaker is reported to be Celestion (they are considered to be the canine's testicles when it comes to speakers, if you didn't know the name), but I've never opened the thing up to confirm this. The controls: Active & Passive Inputs, Gain, Compressor, Bass, Para-mid, Treble, Presence, Limiter, Volume, HF In/Out, DI, FX Loop, Speaker Out, Tuner Out, Unique Dual Position Cabinet, Carpet Covered Dimensions: 17"D x 19"W x 20"H Given that the handle needs replacing, but that it's been a workhorse for 5 years plus, without a single technical problem, I will sell it for £115 picked up from central london, or posted for £130, and failing any offers I'll put it on fleabay in a week or so. Fellow BCer BassBunny described it as a 'crackin little combo' here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=130729&view=findpost&p=1200544"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...t&p=1200544[/url] Thanks for looking Dan P.S. Not looking to drop the price again, this will go on ebay if it doesn't sell on here, and I don't wanna do that, so jump in and PM me now folks!
  17. Anyone got any ideas about the custom pickguards situation on an Epi TB pro?
  18. Also, what are you hoping to use it for. I play in a three piece now and I chose mine to add some depth to the backing sound during solos. If you want something as more of a lead chorus sound for bass solos, maybe ehx or digitech are the way to go?
  19. Got myself a CEB3 on ebay for 40 squid the other day. Does the job nicely for me!
  20. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1204843' date='Apr 19 2011, 03:05 PM']Just took some pics of my basses on a settee for my gear thread and thought I'd post the group shot here too. Hondo II P bass (gutted and I don't have all the bits here to re-assemble it), Sandberg MM5, Sandberg JJ5, Ibanez BTB406QM and a Washburn XB100 underneath.[/quote] That Sandberg MM5 is one of the sexiest basses I have ever seen. Mind if I ask what she cost?
  21. Will do both of these, thanks very much. Didn't know there was an industry standard, so I've learned something at least.
  22. Also, what function would putting the other 3 effects into a loop from the Q-Tron+ serve, i've never done it?
  23. Attached is a photo of my 4 effects pedals, obviously, the best way to figure out what works for me would be to try them in various orders, but with the wealth of sounds available in each one, does anyone have any idea how would be best to order them. Is there an online guide perhaps, or a general rule of thumb to which I am not aware. In case it's not obvious from the photo, in no particular order they are: An EHX Q-Tron+ USA envelope filter An EHX Bassballs (Russian) A Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive A Boss CEB-3 bass chorus
