  1. A few things that are on their way to eBay, but I thought I'd offer them here first: [b]Vestax Digital Delay [/b] 80s lo-fi delay. Makes some very strange noises (in a good way) if you make it self-oscillate. Needs a clean ;-) [b] £30 posted to the UK[/b] [b]Electroharmonix mini-POG [/b] Octave up, octave down, polyphonic tracking. Generally a really useful octaver. With box etc [b] PRICE CUT £90 posted to the UK [/b] [b]Effector 13 / Devi Ever KP (mini version) [/b] Fantastic overdrive in a tiny parcel. Keeps the low end beautifully. One of only 10-20 of these ever made - according to Devi (http://www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=134)
  2. Aluminium everything, on principle. But then, that's always my answer.
  3. I think we need to remember that people on bass forums aren't typical. We're way more obsessed with gear, and having a variety of gear, than the majority of bass players, who own one one bass (probably a P-bass) and nothing else. 4 is the standard as far as I can see. All the 5s and 6s and whatevers are pushing the definition of bass in all kinds of directions, but the place they all relate to (ie what they're pushing away from) is 4. Plus people on TB do seem very disconnected. If you listen to them you'd imagine that most music is being made by people with $10000 dollar basses (or SXs, the only permitted budget brand, and then only if you put at least $300-worth of new parts on it).
  4. NOW REDUCED TO £60 collected, £65 shipped ======================================================================= First up a 4-string bass tremolo made by Kahler. It requires a rout, but since I managed to rout a P-bass for it myself, it can't be that hard. Routing templates are available online, and I can send the buyer a link. This tremolo is great fun - you can divebomb or warble to your heart's content! The chrome looks good, with a few worn edges as shown in the picture. The springs are good and tight, and keep your bass in tune effortlessly. Could do with a rub with brasso. Works right or left-handed, and comes with original Kahler arm. This was previously on my Squier P - intonated great and worked really well. Looking for £80 collected from London, £85 posted. These currently run at $219 plus shipping from the US.
  5. I'm sure if you warn Chris and Charlie they'll sort out an amp. PM me for an email address.
  6. BUMP! New term starts on Monday if anyone fancies it.
  7. As someone who plays a thru-neck aluminium bass (and sometimes an all-aluminium hollowbody) I can assure you that materials make a big difference to sound. Pickups, string etc are more important, but there are certain sounds you'll never get without the right wood/metal.
  8. Pots come in two shaft sizes - metric is 6mm and imperial is 6.35mm. I often try and put the wrong knob on the wrong type of pot. Axesrus carry both types and will tell you which is which before you buy.
  9. Anyone fancy a nice bit of analogue delay in a snug little sparkly green case? The pedal's in great condition, and the paint looks untouched. I'm not sure why it looks like there's a scratch in the picture. There is no scratrch in real-life! The only downside is some ugly velcro and glue (from previous crappy velcro) on the bottom. Comes with original box and box candy. Looking for £80 collected (from London) or £85 posted on this one.
  10. I thought that in at least one of my three new bands I would be playing guitar. Turns out that I need to play bass in all of them. So why have I got these bloody guitars? First up, an Indonesian Squier Tele Custom in black. Plays well, looks good. Few minor marks but nothing to get upset about. Looking for £110 collected or £125 posted for this one. Second a Japanese Fender Jaguar in sunburst with a red torty plate. The serial number places it as a 96-97 model. Fitted with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders front and back for glorious tone. A few more scratches than the Tele, but again nothing that anyone but you will notice. Comes with the fitted DiMarzio quick-release strap. I picked the scratchplate up second hand to replace an original that a previous owner crudely painted white, and it has two screwholes in weird places. I haven't used them, because I didn't want to drill any holes in the body. ON HOLD. I'm in North London, but work in Central London, so I'm easy to meet for handover.
  11. Why don't we put on a London basschat originals gig between us? I have a couple of friendly venues, and I'm sure others do too. Let's cheer these guys up!
  12. What do you sound like? Good London gigs are put on by bands, and are in specific genres - they're not pay to play and some people you don't know who are into your kind of thing will be there. That's the kind of gig I try and play.
  13. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  14. I wouldn't rule it out completely. I like to play the odd gig like this, to tighten up our live performance, to meet new people, and because I quite like antagonising people who weren't expecting a band like mine. I guess the important thing is to manage your expectations accordingly.
  15. I reckon you'll just be playing to your mates, then. Looking at some of their previous gigs, it's hard to see much curation to get bands that work together (in order to build a crowd that stays to watch all the bands). Here's a typical line-up: XYM aka Da Yorkshire Rapper (hip hop artist with a Yorkshire flavour) Outcry (pop) Tranquilizers (fragmented pop with depth and energy) Tarantula (dub Reggae/Hardcore)
  16. You tell us the promoter and we'll tell you if it's a good idea. Lots of 'red flag' names to watch out for!
  17. Sorry, no case. It fits in some standard gig bags, just about.
  18. Still here - price now cut to £130 with single-coil pups. £100 if you want the originals put back in.
