  1. Hi guys, well, as can be seen from the pics earlier, this bass has the serial number "2". Now, this style - single coil P-Bass is the ONLY one Carey has made so far! The first P-Bass style one he made was a split coil style P-Bass with an added J pickup - that bass was made for Calvin Turner. I'd ordered this bass only a few days after Calvin ordered his one. The neck is chunky, but is you've played the older style P-Basses you'll know that the classic P-Bass tone was founded upon the woody tone you get from such a solid neck. The fretting is simply wonderful, and the rolled edges on the edge of the fingerboard make the bass feel instantly like an "old friend" when you play it. Whoever grabs this bass (and likes full necks) will love this bass!!
  2. Johnny Marr's main stage and recording guitar these days is his Olympic White Jaguar which has pickups in there wound by Bare Knuckle Pickups - might be worth contacting them? [url="http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/"]http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/[/url]
  3. Okay, here we go again. Yet another of Kev's "as new" condition pieces of equipment. Here's an MXR Phase 100 with all the MXR leaflet "bumph" still intact. Anyone wondering how the unit sounds - here's a Youtube clip ) Most of the clip shows 6 string guitar, but it also features Bobby Vega jamming on his Jazz Bass too [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/jimdunlopusa#p/search/0/AREuTrzrT3s"]http://www.youtube.com/user/jimdunlopusa#p...h/0/AREuTrzrT3s[/url] £40 posted in the UK. Any questions, drop me a line!
  4. Okay, for those folk who are curious about the unit - here's how it arrives - nicely packaged. I'm going to give the unit a run through and hope to post some soundclips or videos this weekend.
  5. Went to the Post Office yesterday and found that it wasn't my Groove Regulator which was waiting, but a TW Steel watch - Now, I know they are "outsize", but this is mental - this thing is the size of my wrist!! Anyhow, in regards to the Groove Regulator - I arrived home today and there's a letter from Parcelforce asjking for the VAT charge plus an additional £8 handling fee from Parcelforce!! Stealing pigs! Oh well, charge has been paid so the filter should be with me early next week.
  6. Money now received also - thanks again to everyone who expressed interest in the unit. Daryl, I hope you have fine with the filter whenever it arrives at your place.
  7. I got a card through my letterbox yesterday saying there's a package at the sorting office So, it looks like I'll get my GR later today. Yippee!
  8. Sold pending payment. thanks for all the interest shown guys.
  9. My Groove Generator arrived in the UK yesterday (Monday) and is currently still in UK Customs. All being well I should have it in the next few days - yippee!! Looks like I'm gonna have a fun weekend!
  10. Hi there. Thanks for the offer, but I'm actually downsizing my effects stash - hence the Low Pass filter being available.
  11. Here's your chance to grab one of these units in immaculate condition for a knock down price. Any questions, feel free to drop me a line!
  12. The price now would be £1,499 for a bass like that from John
  13. I prefer the stack layout - I love the ability to keep the neck pickup fully open tone-wise to retain that throaty roar, and at teh same time being able to slightly roll off the highs on the brodge pickup so that it doesn't sound overly "quacky" when it is soloed.
  14. Here's a thing......... I was watching the start of the Pet Shop Boys set and thought "if there was distorted guitar playing along here, and the vocals were proto-operatic, this would sound like Muse!!" Personally, I think Muse are a great band. Also, as stated previously, what's the deal with "the pipe". Is this the Jack Hargreaves influence - HOW!!!???
  15. Personally, I thought Stevie was fantastic. The guy is a true musical legend, and hearing him playing live is a true privilege. As for the sound, after the first couple of songs the bass was clear as a bell on my TV mix (apart from when Nate switched to keyboard bass, then the bass sound dropped out). The guy played a great set for a festival closing slot - just hearing the audience singing along with so many classic tracks supports his choices.
  16. I saw the review clip in Bass Player a while back and always thought the unit sounded cool. So, thanks to you guys, I've now ordered myself one - yippee!!
  17. Hi matey, welcome to the site!! There's a great bunch of guys on here.
  18. Gumtree is like any other selling medium. Some bad sellers in there, but most are okay. I got a wonderful Fender Custom Shop Nocaster Relic with both cases last July for....... £750!!!!!!!! Probably the best sounding and playing Tele I have ever played. I took the neck off when I got it and e-mailed Fender to verify everything - all OK and the spec for the serial number was exact. Also, the instrument had only been made by the Custom Shop about 10 months prior to me buying it. Amazing deal!!
  19. Lawrence - thanks for the purchase - hope you have fun with your new bass!
  20. okay, i received the bass under 4 weeks ago and paid over £1,650 for it. Then there was the additional delivery cost from the USA and then import taxes.
