  1. [quote name='Currrls' post='325706' date='Nov 10 2008, 09:33 AM']thats great, I've never had a chance to play a jag so I'll probably go and have a look at it next weekend. And don't worry I'll be discreet as you say.[/quote]

    Cool, let me know how you get on with it - I like the balance, slim neck and the option of kicking in the active electronics if needed... :) It's a great blend of old and new school IMO.

  2. [quote name='Currrls' post='325457' date='Nov 9 2008, 07:05 PM']whats the deal with it being at the bass gallery? can i go look at it there??

    also, i presume by 'original bridge' you mean it is the non-upgraded version without the badass bridge??

    thanks[/quote]

    The Bass Gallery have it on commission, but know that I'm trying to sell it too. They're fine with me doing this and if you do go and check it out there, I'm sure you'll be discreet!

    I should probably have simply said the bass comes with 2 bridges: the original stock bridge and the Badass II bridge :)

    This is a cracking bass - the only reason I'm selling it is that I've moved to playing 5-strings exclusively. The Badass bridge makes the whole instrument really responsive & resonant. (I'm not saying it's not great with the stock bridge though, which is good enough for Pino!).

    Thanks for your interest - you have a PM...

    Would prefer collection from North London, or can meet in central London - it's currently residing in The Bass Gallery, Camden, hence stock pic, but close-up shows actual bass with Badass bridge.

  4. [quote name='alexclaber' post='221461' date='Jun 18 2008, 03:51 PM']Look how many people spend all that money on an iPod and then proceed to listen to it through the original headphones - if only they knew how much better it could sound! To a large degree it's the same with cabs.

    Veering off topic, but that's spot on... I love Grado headphones with my iPod, although they reveal the limitations of compressed audio files...

    Rather like excellent bass gear revealing the limitations of my playing, (hopefully forcing me to improve :) ).

  5. Can't resist posting these pics...

    The backline IS the PA (the bass "rig" is the tallest stacks the right and left of the drums: 2 vertical stacks of 15's, 18 per stack...

    (I have an LMII and 2x10 Traveller and when I need to, I'll get another identical 2x10 to stack vertically... :) )

  6. Many years ago, I'd just bought a yellow Vigier Passion 5-string (!) and was making my way home on the Tube...going up some steps towards the ticket barrier, I unslung the gig bag from my shoulder and clipped the lower front edge on a step...thought nothing of it, got home to give it it's 1st play and saw the nasty great ding in the lower side of the body...that was one crap gig bag... :)
