    Is there really no alternative to scrounging these from local guitar shops ? No online source at all ?

    Griffter7, You have PM. .

    If you're interested but put off by the suggested London pickup please get in touch to see if we can work something out. Over the coming weeks, it seems possible I'll be travelling London to Gloucester by car, and London to Doncaster by car. If you're near one of those routes we can probably work something out. Even if you're NOT near one of those routes, please get in touch ... we could always meet halfway, maybe? Cheers, Andy

    [quote name='Morning View' post='13881' date='Jun 7 2007, 10:36 PM']If your really stuck for finding one for free locally check out Pack N' Move. A google search should bring up their website and they do a tall thin box ideal for shipping a bass in a gig bag. Its a bit pricey though, especially for delivery.[/quote] I couldn't find the 'thin' box here and I didn't spot one that looked like it might suit a bass either. [url="http://www.packnmove.co.uk/cardboard_storage_boxes/"]http://www.packnmove.co.uk/cardboard_storage_boxes/[/url] Which one did you mean ? Andy

    It's a great amp ... if you're interested but you think the price is wrong, then make me an offer.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='10387' date='Jun 1 2007, 08:42 AM']I think that's Transparent Wine Red. Could well be wrong... I don't think I've seen one.[/quote] Thanks ... that seems to be a common name for it. Just checked the current fender site and found a finish called Crimson Transparent which seems to be pretty much the same. It seems to be a not uncommon thing currently ... when you say you haven't seen one you mean a precision of that vintage in that colour ? Andy

    Thought I'd post pics of this to see what you think. I've always thought the colour was unusual and it's recently occured to me it might actually be rare and valuable. Anyone know what this finish is called ? It's a slightly opaque red, that gets slightly more opaque towards the edges of the body. Unfortunately this isn't seeing a lot of action at the moment. I'm thinking I might find an alternate neck, unlined fretless, so it'll be more likely be played. The most accurate rendition of the colour ... And a few more details ...

    Now on eBay, but I'd pull the listing from eBay if I get a suitable offer here. Cheers, Andy

    [quote name='steve-norris' post='9062' date='May 30 2007, 11:17 AM']Nice collection, particularly the lakland and Starfire, if the Starfire is ever totally neglected and needs a new home drop me a line, this will be followed very quickly by a call to Fred for a set of Darkstars[/quote] I may drop a pair of Darkstars in there myself That was the plan a year or so ago, but I got side-tracked with other basses.

    [quote name='steve-norris' post='8289' date='May 28 2007, 08:04 PM']On my acoustic surfcaster i used labella tape wounds which i loved, i tried a set of tru-bass tape wounds on my current charvel but hated them, the sound and the feel.[/quote] That's interesting, you and I have both found that tapewounds work well on a piezo-equipped bass, less well on a bass with mag pickups. [quote name='steve-norris' post='8289' date='May 28 2007, 08:04 PM']I would love a Lakland HB with the optional darkstars, my dream bass. Next year maybe,what a pity the new Ibanez is short scale.[/quote] I think maybe you should check the lakland website, I [i]think[/i] they'e discontinuing Darkstars as an option in favour of their own pickup line. BTW if you're missing your GK 700RB115, I happen to be selling one (Kidding, I'm sure you must have had a reason to sell).

    [quote name='steve-norris' post='8124' date='May 28 2007, 03:39 PM']Well spotted, it's not mine as it was in sunburst, very nice semi's. I used to string mine with black nylon Tape-wounds for a huge upright tone very playable compared to a lot of semi acoustics , why did i sell it, why [/quote] Are they completely hollow ? And what brand tapewounds did you use ? I've found the status tapewounds to work fine for that purpose on my Status Electro, not sure they work as well on my Lakland HB. And because they're low tension, they need a lot of truss rod tweaks when you fit them. Andy

    I've got a nice little laney bass combo for sale. 50 watt , 12 inch speaker. The biggest downside to it is obviously the low wattage. It will probably be most useful either as a practice amp or else for very quiet gigs, e.g. very small venues or for accompanying acoustic instruments. The upsides are :- It's got lots of facilities. It's got sweepable mids, built in limiter (advisable if you're going to gig it), switchable pre-shape, EQ defeat, in addition to the expected pre/post gain, bass/mid/treble/prescence. It also has headphone output and an effects send/return. It's in very good nick and has had very little use. In the last 5 years it's hardly been touched at all (I have other amps now, and a headphone amp for practice). Prior to that it got used, oooh, as much as 3 times a year. Always used in the home, never gigged. 1 owner from new. I'm offering this up for sale at £80. I'd prefer buyer to collect (I'm in north London) but I might be persuaded to come to another arrangement. Prefer cash on collection, but PayPal might work, please ask. I've got a small [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=823"]feedback thread[/url] you may want to check. Andy

    [quote name='steve-norris' post='7482' date='May 27 2007, 08:37 AM']They also made a semi acoustic with a thicker body and acoustic bridge, these are even rarer and the only one i turned up on an internet search was the one i sold yeasrs ago.[/quote] I might have bought it if I'd known. Spotted one of those on the dudepit maybe a year ago ... in fact [url="http://www.vintagebass.com/thedudepit/attachment.php?attachmentid=5850&stc=1"]looking at it now[/url] I'm sure I would have bought it from you.

    Up for sale: My Gallien Kruger 700RB 115 Combo. Here's what it looks like. More pics [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33223270@N00/tags/700rb/"]HERE[/url]. Here a link to the [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20020811155842/www.gallien-krueger.com/PRODUCTS/COMBOS/700RB_115/700rb_115.html"]SPECS[/url] Note that mine is the 'Mark 1' or whatever. There are key spec differences from the current one: mine is 225 watts as it stands, 380 with a further 8 ohm cabinet. The amp as biamped, and the tweeter gets an additional 50W. This is a great amp, full range, very deep (and bought for that very reason) with none of the flab that you might expect from some 15's. I think I'm right in saying CrazyKiwi is a fan of these amps, certainly I chatted on bassworld with someone about how good they are, but since bassworld is now gone, unfortunately I can't find the postings to support that. Very portable, as 1x15's go, because of the wheels and tip back feature, which also means you can have it aimed up at you, monitor style. It's seen fairly light use, probably about 30 gigs over 4 years. It's almost always been transported in my car (rather than knocking around with other gear in a van). 1 owner from new. I'm selling because this is oversized for the gigs I now do, so I now have something more appropriate. Because of the size, I'd [i]prefer[/i] this to be picked up (I'm in North London), but if you have other ideas, let me know. Over the coming weeks, it seems possible I'll be travelling London to Gloucester by car, and London to Doncaster by car. If you're near one of those routes we can probably work something out. Even if you're NOT near one of those routes, please get in touch ... we could always meet halfway, maybe? Cash on pickup preferred. Paypal might be an option, please ask.

    I've posted an update to [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4234293#post4234293"]the repair thread on TB[/url]. Basically M & J Healy's did a great job of fixing the bass, sufficiently to let me carry on finding out if DB suits me, without having to spend loads on repairs up front. Can't recommend Healy's enough .. really helpful and well worth the 2 hour round trip across London. Andy

    BigBeatNut replied to BigBeatNut's topic in Gear Gallery

    I bought the Lakland HB here ... well, on bassworld actually. I don't think there are that many fretless ones in the country. (Based on what I've seen on forums and on ebay). The DA Starfire is one of those made in late 90's/early 00's. Not sure if they made DA SF's in the 60's/70's so it's debatable if it's a 'reissue'
