    That's a great idea, I've just sold one of these and once the buyer tried it, he was convinced - you're getting a lot of bass for your money here

    I wouldn't worry too much, has the venue provided a marquee or something to keep at least the amps dry? I'd say they need to do that at a minimum as we're talking about mains power. Regarding drunks and your gear, if you're worried, stick it in the car between sets - bass / pedals anyway.

    Up for grabs is my Sunburst Mexican Fender Jazz. I bought this in, I think, 2007 and it was my workhorse for a good few years before I came to the conclusion that I really am more of a Precision kind of guy. In that time I swapped the stock pickups out for Fender Originals, these are great sounding pups and Fender fit them as standard on their American '62 re-issue and Geddy Lee sig - I love the earthing strap, really gives it that 60s look. To add to the 60s vibe I replaced the white pickguard with a tiger-eye tortoiseshell one - this was a third party rather than Fender so isn't a perfect fit - as you can see from the pic, but if you're standing any more than about half a metre away you'd never see the gap. I think I know where the original pickups and scratch-plate are and if I can find them they'll be included in the sale if the buyer wants them. There is a ding on the bottom side near the jack from where it decided to jump out of the strap one evening. This is cosmetic only, no structural problems from it - it never bothered me as I like the genuinely road-worn look and isn't very visible. No trades thanks guys as I'm raising funds to get Jon Shuker to build me the Precision of my dreams £375.00 ONO I don't have a hard case for this, so would definitely prefer collection but if you want me to ship it, get in contact and we can talk. Let me know if you want any more information or pictures from any other angles, thanks for looking

    If you wanted after-market electronics which emulate a Wal, I'd have thought a call to Wizard and John East would get you something pretty close. Probably not cheap though as they wouldn't be off the shelf models.

    If you want Chancellor's tone on a budget, a G&L L2000 Tribute with a Sansamp BDDI into a clear sounding amp like a Hartke or Gallien Kruger would do it

    Don't like that, reminds me too much of the 'sex toy' upper horn on a Corvette

    From what I remember, the SS pre-amp didn't work either when the tube went, which worried me until I swapped the valve out
  8. Graham
    I suspect there's some confusion of terminology in this thread, where some people are thinking of clean as un-distorted and others (myself included) are thinking of it as un-coloured - not saying either are correct, but it might account for why people are saying Markbass are really clean, when - IME - they colour the sound remarkably.

    Next up a couple of medleys with the covers band from what I think is the biggest show I've done at Lingfield Racecourse last year [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90aVX1oPb4s"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90aVX1oPb4s[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbH_Lg8bah8&feature=relmfu"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbH_Lg8bah8&feature=relmfu[/url]

    Finally got some videos online, first up is me demoing my Mayones Be4 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs6g4beZEFQ&feature=g-upl[/media]
  11. Graham
    Yup, that sounds exactly like the pre-amp valve has gone, I used to have a Hartke model 1000 and found the exact same thing happen, swapped the tube for a new one and it was back to normal :-)

    If memory serves, if you run an amp into a cab at too low an impedance then the amp can overheat (which is what it sounds like has happened) as the cab is drawing more power than the amp is designed to handle - I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me can confirm / refute this and explain why.

    It doesn't help that a lot of modern metal guitarists use active pickups and bass heavy, high gain tone which when coupled with a double kick playing, heavy handed drummer makes it hard for the bass player to cut through. Consider the difference between Maiden / early Metallica guitar tone to a modern band like Lamb Of God - it's a lot thicker a heavier

    EBS HD350?
  16. Graham
    Perhaps I'm asking too much for this (though the market does seem to be dead at the moment); if you're interested, make me an offer - you never know your luck
  17. Graham
    No worries mate, a few pics in the thread should help with the sale too
  18. Graham
    Is this jazz-esque enough for you? Or too modern? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172849-mayones-custom-shop-be4-fsft-now-with-video-and-price-dropped/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172849-mayones-custom-shop-be4-fsft-now-with-video-and-price-dropped/[/url]

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1344887142' post='1770720'] In studio, yes, he has used SVT's, along with Markbass and a few others, but live he only ever uses his 3 Marshall DBS rigs. I've never seen him gig with anything else. Liam [/quote] But Beadie Eye, for instance, had 2 Marshall Plexis, 2 Marshall bass heads and 8x10s and 2 vox AC30s; Bellamy had his own amp and The Who had their own backline - seems odd that CW would be the only one to be handed something that wasn't his choice - so perhaps he's made the shift to Ampeg live?

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1344875405' post='1770502'] Was one of his Statii, i think all of his Status basses have LED's don't they. On another CW related note, as i mentioned in another thread earlier, the fact that they dumped an SVT and 810 behind him made me laugh, especially as i don't think it was even plugged in. Liam [/quote] Wasn't there a picture of him in the studio recently playing a Status that also had an SVT next to him?

    Bump, some interest, but nothing firm yet so still available
  22. Graham
    I rather like both of those
  23. Graham
    This sounds great, if I thought I could commit to the time requirements the band would need I'd be after an audition, good luck with the search
  24. Graham
    I don't normally go in for daft shaped basses, but I actually quite like this; probably partly to do with Rex Brown going quite a lot up in my estimations as a bassist recently

    G&L SB-2

    I love my Tribute L2000, it's the one bass I wouldn't part with
