Something I've been wondering about for a while, you see pedals like the EBS Valve Drive and T-Rex Squeezer which only run off 12V power supplies, now I now that the '12' in, for instance, 12AX7 refers to it needing 12 volts, but is a 12V supply really enough to power the pedal?

I've been told before that tubes need mains power to be properly energized (right word?) so pedals running off adaptors just have a tube in to look pretty, but it's not actually functioning as a valve should. Any truth to this?

I did do a search before posting but couldn't see anything, here's hoping someone with more electronics knowledge than me can help.

"not a Rickenbacker" bump

That's the one - I still have a scar on my shoulder from that gig.

I remember the Sector sounding good too - a big, aggressive tone.

Is the jumperoo still available?

Edit: In my haste to reply i didn't look at the date, I assume not then.

Did I see you playing this supporting Anaal Nathrakh and Dragged Into Sunlight in Leeds a couple years ago?

"not at work on a Monday morning" bump

A 2nd hand EBS Multicomp - compression is a subtle 'effect' but it'll just make everything sound better

Please someone, buy my Mayones so I can buy this

Up for sale is my Mayones custom shop be4, it was built for me in 2009 and I specced EMG active single-coils and an Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp rather than the stock Bartolinis. The body is amazaque, the neck mahogony and the fretboard, rosewood. I'm selling as I've moved into a flat and just don't have space for everything, so it's time to downsize and this one's been sat in it's hardcase since November

It sounds tight and punchy, but with all the low end you'd need - I tend to think of it as a cross between a Warwick and a Spector, or a modern jazz bass. It sounds great for metal - no more getting lost in the mix! I also used it for a modern prog band where it also sounded great and would definetly suit other rock, funk, jazz and modern pop players.

I recorded all the songs on the below Myspace link using it:

It's currently set-up in B-Standard with a fairly fresh set of GHS Bass Boomers, but obviously this is something the local guitar shop could easily sort out for you.

It comes with a branded Mayones hardcase with Schaller secrurity straplocks and all the case candy - manual, allen keys etc

I'm looking for £695.00 for it, or the best offer; the cash would be preferable, but I'd consider a trade for the one of the below:

G&L L2000 USA
Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub
Fender USA Precision / Jazz
Fender CIJ Precision / Jazz + cash
Stingray 4

I'm not in any rush to sell, as though I haven't got any room for it at the moment my parents are kindly looking after it, let us know if you want more photos from any other angles.

Just remebered one, I do occasional dep work for a covers band and hadn't done a gig with them for a couple of months, went through the set-list a few days before but didn't bother practicing Buck Roges by Feeder thinking 'piece of piss, no need to rehearse that'. Come the gig I then play the verse in G minor rather than major and it's not until the second chorus that I clock why it didn't sound right........

Biggest gig I've done - open air to 2-3k people, forgot to leave my amp on standby; fortunately it's a solid state so didn't need ages to power up, but the first 5-10 seconds of 'big jam intro' were rather quiet on the low frequencies.

Also, as above with plugging in pedals the wrong way round, I keep getting my FX send and return mixed up and every time I swear to myself I wont do it.....

You're based in Alton, did you ever play at the Lounge Bar?

Off topic I know, but at least you get a bump out of it

This can't still be here? Come on people it's stunning

No worries fella, good luck with the sale she's gorgeous

Love to hear it, but Christ Mesa's European prices are a joke

I suspect this isn't what you're looking for, but always worth a punt under 'interesting jazz'

I have a custom version of 4 string version of this (EMGs, Aguilar OBP-3) which to my mind is a modern jazz bass

I'm playing with covers band Naked Bass at The Haven Centre in Crawley Down this Saturday, kicks off at about half 8 and is always good fun down there - come along and say hello!

Gah, i wanted this from the moment i saw it on facebook, i thought i might have managed to sell my Mayones by the time you wanted to sell but didn't think it would be so soon, so can't afford this right now; sorry to hear you didn't get the gig dude

Hi,

Couple of quick questions, what's the scale length on these, and is it through neck or bolt on?

Cheers,

Graham

I was having a discussion with the wife to be the other day over the correct pronunciation of Lakland, I always assumed it was 'Lake-land' (no e, but an accent over the a) but she thought it was 'Lack-Land' and she's normally better at these sorts of things than me - anyone now the answer? Also Wal, is it pronounced like one of those things that hold a roof up or differently? My mate reckoned it was 'wahl' but that doesn't look right to me.

Greyum's a great guy, trade with confidence

Any interest in trades?

Cheers for all the input guys, i ordered a Hiscox case yesterday, sorry cyber didn't see your post until too late

I love the Lindy Fralins in my Lakland, they just sound like a precision should, however i can't say if they're any better than any others so not a lot of help there i know. I'm also very keen to try Bare Knuckle's '58 and '65 P pickups

I'm after a hardcase for my Lakland Duck Dunn or G&L L2000 depending on which I'm using - so simple traditional shapes - I've been looking at Hiscox's STD EBS or Gator's GPE-Bass-TSA is either particularly better than the other? Or is there not much between them? Or, is there another I've not considered?
