    Feedback for ToneFree

    HazBeen replied to a topic in Feedback

    Jeff and I traded basses, a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and he sent the bass really quickly. Good experience all around, a true gentleman!

    I have thought long an hard about this...... Up for trade (preferred, but willing to sell) is my excellent Fender USA AVRI '62 Jazz Bass in 2 tone Sunburst from 2012 with all the case candy you get when you buy an AVRI. Not the standard USA model in any way shape or form. The '62 AVRI's have now been replaced by the 64 AVRI so are no longer available new. I traded this when still mint on BC for a 5 string Spector and I have used it extensively over the last year. It is an extremely well built AVRI and although the nitro finish is now starting to show wear (few dings and scrapes visible) as is normal for Fenders that are gigged the bass is in good condition. Upgraded several bits: Hipshot X-Tender fitted, Gotoh 201 hi-mass bridge added, Custom Wizard 64's with raised pole pieces added for better string to string balance (original bridge and tuner also included, original Fender pups no longer available - the Wizard are far superior anyway). With the upgrades this bass is just awesome, it sounds the part (I actually prefer the passive tone over my Lull and De Gier Custom 5 JBs), extremely even sounding string to string, fast neck, amazing almost P like sound from the front pickup (especially when palm muting) and a great old school finger style tone from the back. I get no end of positive comments on my tone through my full tube amps and 212's with this thing. So why would I trade? Well, because it is not a 5 string and as I am trying the less basses is better approach and a 4 string does not work for all activities I am involved in. I have my Lull and de Gier JB5's for the classic tones I am after and so am looking to trade my AVRI '62 for a modern sounding 5. No preference really, although I am probably looking for active (with passive option if possible) EQ, 1 or 2 humbuckers, not too chunky neck, 19mm string spacing if possible, no less than 17.5. 34" scale preferred, B must be tight though. Think MM's, Warwicks, Spector Euros, 55-02's I would rather upgrade (price wise) than downgrade so not too interested in lower range Ibanez's or such (not bad, just not what I am after). Would prefer to trade but would sell. Value (1000-1050 value) is firm, you know what a new AVRI '62 would cost if still available.

    Good price for a totally underrated JB5, I have owned several and they really offer a lot of bang for the buck.

    That is a very nice bass, fanned frets, passive, 5 string............. Lurvely.

    The Ozrics, darn nearly forgot about them, loved them in the nineties.

    Bought a SFX custom box from Andy, pleasure as usual. Quick shipment, pleasant comms, really easy going. EXCELLENT!

    You've upgraded nicely! Streamliners are excellent even at their old price and the compact (although I still say 212) is a great bit of kit and very re-sellable if you ever want to go bigger.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1383837519' post='2269808'] You've never used a BF Compact have you? I can assure you that lack of volume (or "oomph and clarity") is not an issue. At all. Ever. (Well, as long as your amp is 250 watts or more...). They are phenomenally loud cabs, but still deliver a very clear tone (if that is what you want). [/quote] Point taken and a fair comment, but it is an exception to the rule. There are a few more that potentially could also be counted as exceptions but in general imo you miss a little with just a 15. One cab solution has to be 212 in my book.
  12. HazBeen
    Wow...

    My 2 pennies, buy a better cab first. Save a bit more and then buy a good D Class head (nice and light) and I agree with the Streamliner comments. A 115 cab is fine, but personally on it's own it will struggle to give enough oomph and clarity. A 2x12 would be a one cab solution, give you the lowend and also enough clarity. On the cheaper end of the scale I think Gallien Krueger 212 is probably your best bet but opinions are like, well you know what.... 212 should also give you more volume from you current head.

    Indeed, fabulous bass at a bargain price

    That is a thing of beauty, TE got it very right with the V series.

    Carl Martin vs EBS

    HazBeen replied to Badass's topic in Effects

    I have owned the EBS Valve Drive and currently use the Carl Martin on my main board. No contest, Carl Martin is more flexible, has much better EQ and function more like a tube preamp (i.e. how hard you strike the string, impacts od). I have no issue in getting more detailed and technical but if you are looking to warm up your tone Carl Martin any day of the week. EBS is a good overdrive, but a little bit of a one trick pony in my opinion and certainly not best suited to warm/liven up tone.

    Some more items sold, some withdrawn, bumpage

    SFT sold, had some good trade options but not the right one for me just yet.

    Please remove

    Deeper Impact! Gigrig makes some excellent gear, this will rule someone's board with a vengeance.
