  1. I love Bongos. My 5HH was awesome, except the string spacing was a wee bit too tight for my sausage fingers. Along came Kerr with his 4HH (in EXACTLY the same finish) and a short round trip on the ferry to Scotland and now I'm as happy as the proverbial pig...
  2. DHA VT-1 Compressor Pedal inc. PSU. See review here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6002"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6002[/url] New price is £149 without PSU. It's seen a bit of action so some of the 'interesting' paintwork has flaked, but mostly on the bottom. In the interests of full disclosure I did sell this pedal before, but the buyer complained of a dodgy power socket and I gave him a refund. I've had a look at the pedal, adjusted the power socket and now all's well (I'm an electronic engineer, so had half a clue about what I was at!) I'd take £80 inc. postage inside UK, paypal preferred.

  3. Funny, we're getting wed in December and going to NY for our honeymoon. I have a very similar trip planned!
  4. PM'd Ped One of each in XL please!
  5. Your 55-01 now hangs on my wall - patiently awaiting the Nordy DC5s I promised her!
  6. These basses are mega. If I didn't already have a Bongo I'd have one of these in a flash!
  7. I'll help Gareth out here (he's a busy boy!). The W4's are hum cancelling. 1 coil per string actually. Great pickups and a FAN-F'ing-TASTIC bass. Gareth's comparison to a Wal is entirely justified. It's like a Wal and a really nice Jazz bass had a baby! To answer the next question this bass would be mine already if I wasn't so totally smitten with my Lakland ...
  8. A twin for my baby! I love these basses. They're seriously under-rated/misunderstood. Looking forward to seeing pics!
  9. Oh I can hear my 55-01 going weak at the knees... Speculative PM on its way!
  10. I can trade you. Have a set of 40-125 Elite Stainless Steels (yellow and blue pack) unopened and not doing anything and looking to go to a heavier gauge for downtuning.
  11. That thumb is rather yummy!
  12. One of each for me I think! Any idea when you'll actually be "opening the doors", as it were?
  13. I've a hard time seeing how the US models can be so much better than the Skyline's. I LOVE my Skyline JO to bits! I've played a 55-94 next to a 55-02 and couldn't tell that much difference. The 55-94 was twice the price...
  14. Good stuff! More temptation averted!
  15. I nearly dropped a bollock when I heard the video clip the last owner did. Fab sounding bass. If it'd been sunburst I might have cracked!
  16. Damn! It's back to haunt me again. Musn't look.... wedding to pay for.... musn't look....
  17. The ticket to my first gig. Megadeth and Pantera, Ulster Hall, Belfast, '92. Signed by Dimebag Darrell (RIP) himself.
  18. [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='612637' date='Sep 29 2009, 11:32 PM']Line6 Lowdown 110. I've used it for exactly the gigs you describe and it does very well. Has a good DI with speaker sim too.[/quote] I'd concur with that. If it's only as a personal monitor for small gigs why spend any more?... or is this a veiled attempt to hide a GAS hit? Go on admit it! You're among friends here! (Admittedly there's not a huge amount of volume on tap. I lean it back and it works well for me. A 1x12 won't get you much smaller/lighter than one of your 2x10 cabs anyway)
  19. [quote name='pal1972' post='612620' date='Sep 29 2009, 11:18 PM']just wondering if they were any good and therefore worth a punt!!???[/quote] Yes - the whole skyline series is good. I have 2 and they're my 'go to' basses.
  20. I haven't played them all, but I think you'd be hard pressed to beat Celinder (I just don't know how a bass can get much better than that!)... I'm not going to recount my missed Celinder story again... sniff...
  21. Hi all. I have a Boss BR Micro (+ 1Gb SD card) that I bought from mic mac moe here a while ago. It hasn't seen much use by me so I'm going to move it on. I'd like to get back what I spent on it so £80 inc postage. Cheers Ian
  22. Great DI pedal. Got one myself.
