    [quote name='Higgie' post='758186' date='Feb 26 2010, 01:31 PM']Damn it! Whenever a Sadowsky pre-amp comes up I always miss it!! Grrr!! [/quote] Aye i know i was dead chuffed when i got it and only used it for one show but obviously wasnt meant to hang onto it, great eq would like it built intomy jazz with the VTC will do that in the future- cheers lee
  2. i think i went to newcastle college with this fellow when i was young(he was a bit older mature student - lol) gave me some great advice on adding a bit of mids in a very sh*t sounding hall, mind you my sound at the the time was a jv squire jazz using the back pickup only, as i was going through my jaco phase honking like mother goose- nice fellow if its the same person i remember being told he was in the tygers of pan tang, id never acually heard of them though, but i did get a coloured record of theirs though= great bass and the same as mine- lee
  3. Hi everyone Due to 2010 ,s relentless assault on my finances im having to let go of a couple of my gadgets SADOWSKY PREAMP/DI PEDAL ( SOLD!!! ITS GONE) You all know what this is, very recently bought by me from the excellent bosshog ive only gigged it once and its fantastic, i used it in a show with my ken smith and it warmed up the sound no end, fantastic quality, i got it to use with my jazz and im pretty sure its the perfect circuit for the humble fender, i will eventually get one fitted to the guitar. Anyway its in great nick and with spice up your jazz bass no end £120 incl delivery RADIAL BIGSHOT I/O INSTRUMENT SWITCHER ( ALSO SOLD) This is such a handy piece of kit, but its not that often i take two basses to gigs, built like a tank it has a mute facility and a bright switch which is great for adding a little sparkle to passive basses , one channel has a volume control to match the instrument levels when switching between them, it had a rubberfoot missing when i got it, so itook them all off to stop it wobbling, once again ive used it twice - £50 incl delivery ive no pics at the mo but will get some up at the weekend- thanks for looking - lee
  4. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='752600' date='Feb 21 2010, 10:46 AM']Howie was a bit of a demon wheeler and dealer back in those days! and NO I am not being serious. [/quote] Ha Ha i know!!! it was actually pre bass place days, i sold the ibanez back to the person i bought it from, a certain little guitar shop on a corner of the west road, a very dour man indeed!!! lovely bass i wouldnt mind a fretless one!!! hope your well John - someone buy this they are great - lee
  5. Is this still here? cant believe its not gone!!! i used to lust after the kramer and jackson basses as a kid, and always thought id like one for playing rawk!!!! on if it were red id be nicking money out of my daughters college fund, great looking bass!! just not sure about the purple!!! Ps any pics of you "kip wingers" and your gene simmons basses
  6. I used to have an identical one to this, absoutely fantastic basses, they sound great but are a bit solid in the weight dept ( all that lovely wood) i very foolishly overdid the boozing one month as a student so had to sell it to pay my rent, the swine in a shop gave me £125 and made out he was doing me a favour if only id known!! mind you my other bass at the time was my jv squire which i still have. Anyway great price and highly recommended- all th best - lee
  7. Welcome to Basschat im a newish dad ( she,s one now) and im a geordie relocated to bolton 4 years ago, so we are similar as i used to be a pro player who gave up the "life" as it were,still playing a bit on the local Am dram circuit, give me a PM if you want a chat about anything( fatherhood,bass, stuck for strings,owt you want) -all the best -lee
  8. Dont worry jack i live in bolton, and my wife works in salford, so i will consider your services in the future, bit of hum on both my smith and my jazz, will need sorting out as soon as i can afford it. A machine will never replace a skilled tech all the best - lee Interesting comments chaps - i have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Bass chat isn't bad is it? Im fairly new to blogs and the crowd seems spot on here! Jack

  10. Nice bass josh i,d be tempted if a wasnt skint, just sold my fretless to pay bills spectors are the dogs and josh is a great guy to deal with, im still loving the ken smith!!!! all the best mate - lee ps - love the streamer too!!!! As of late, this bass has been seeing less and less use as it's a back up to my Streamer, nonetheless this is a great bass and as such I think someone else will benefit from owning it. First things first, the only issue with this bass is it's aesthetic condition. I bought this recently from Jon Kemo in the condition it's in, and it was in the same condition when he bought it from it's original owner who has obviously thrown this bass around a fair bit. There are quite a few surface scratches and noticeable dings on both the front and back and the side of the bass, a minor scrape in the neck, but none of them at all affect the playability of this bass, IMO they give the bass character. The electronics and hardware are all still up to scratch and work perfectly. I've tried my best to highlight these dings and scratches, in the flesh they are noticeable but they are not severe enough to draw any attention to them: Despite all of that, I've really enjoyed having this bass around, it is stupidly light for a bass, and has been used on my bands recent recording(The Gutter Never Looked So good) which can be heard [url="http://www.myspace.com/allureingrace"]here!.[/url] Here are the specs directly from the Spector site: • Original Spector NS curved body style • Original Spector deep inset bolt-on neck pocket design • Neck: Bolt-On Graphite Rod Reinforced 3pc Maple • Fingerboard: 24 Fret, Rosewood, mother of pearl Spector inlays • Scale Length: 34" • Body: Alder, with FM top. • Black Hardware: Spector Aluminum Locking Bridge • Pickups: EMG 35HZ passive dual coil pickups • Active Tone Controls: Spector TonePump™ boost only active bass and treble.

  11. Hi there I know your sterling very well as it used to be mine (i called it rita after rita heyworth, gorgeous redhead i still greatly miss it) it had d,addarios on when i traded it, but when i first got i used DR sunbeams(45-105) which i use on my jazz and they sounded fantastic, works very well with the maple fingerboard, i also use fatbeams on my ken smith which i think are great too, they have the punch of steels but with a warm tone( suit actives very well) my faves arethe sunbeams though, highly recommended!! cheers and congrats on a great bass, give me a shout if you evermove it on - all the best lee I used to use Ernie Ball Super Slinky on my MM SR5. I was happy with those but have only used DR on the Lakland for the last 6-7 years. I think DR are worth the extra money. [/quote]
  12. [quote name='Doddy' post='727758' date='Jan 28 2010, 04:18 PM']No surprises here with my answer............ iGig The G525 model has a front pocket designed to fit a small head in.[/quote] +1 Iove mine. dont carry my head in it though its too big, but i get all my pedals, leads, strings,straps,pencils etc in there and dont take another bag, makes it bloody heavy though, it is expensive but very well padded which i need when carrying a ken smith in it. I did look at the gig skinz ones which look pretty good, very big pockets and about £80 from bass direct- lee
  13. Just sold john, my MIA Fender fretless jazz, nice lad, came to pick it up and paid on delivery, thanks mate - lee
  14. I remember being mightily impressed the first time i saw that pic about 17 years ago, used to hang on the bass place wall, seems like 2 minutes ago!!! aged like a fine wine my friend, or is that mojo,d like a 60,s P -all the best - lee
  15. The best sound ever especially on the track S&M from the black rose album!!!!
  16. These are gorgeous, ive been thinking of moving on my accugroove tri110ls for a couple of these and the chocolate thunder is sexy, hmmmmmm thinking
  17. lots of fretless basses about at the mo, a great time to start-
  18. [quote name='spaz91' post='708335' date='Jan 10 2010, 11:03 PM']DO WANT. I don't have a MM but I do have a Fender Jazz V (mex) and an Ibanez ATK300 for p/x.[/quote] Cheers mate, not really what im looking for, but thanks anyway
  19. Hi Everyone Welcome to the new year!!!!! as a result of too much spending and various things popping up demanding that i throw coloured notes at them, i am putting up for sale my fairly recently aquired USA fretless fender jazz, i did buy this very much on impulse from the very excellent "essential tension" about 6 months ago and i must admit ive barely used it, and try as i might i think that fretless isnt my thing. It has a gorgeous three tone sunburst alder body and a very nice lined fingerboard (with no string scarring at all, it had flats on it for a long time) it has through stringing and a graphite reinforced maple neck (c shape with a small hint of flame), the build quality on this is fantastic a very solid workhorse, has a very warm sound even with roundwounds and sings lovely. its actually in fantastic condition apart from two scratches on the to[p horn which are only noticable close up Unfortunately i dont have a hardcase for this anymore, but it will ship very well packed in a warwick premium gigbag, id be looking for £525 (incl delivery) or £500 if you want to pick it up from bolton (near manchester) Thanks guys and gals - lee Ps - i did originally intend to trade this, if you have a fender marcus miller, or a musicman stingray and fancy a trade, let me know and ill have a wrestle with my head and heart [attachment=39904:P1010003.JPG][attachment=39905:P1050006.JPG][attachment=39906:P1050009.JPG][attach ment=39907:P1050005.JPG][attachment=39908:P1010002.JPG] ITS SOLD, THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!!

  23. Time for some BAREFACED BASSFACE GURNING YEAH!!!! [attachment=37375:IMG_8828.JPG] Check out my rock pose " More chins than a chinese phonebook"
  24. Hi there Never owned the TRB series myself, but i did have a nathan east model for a while, which had the same electronics as the TRB1(and probably the same as your BB ) the circuit in that had a preset mid control offering two diffrent settings that were fully adjusable from trimpots in the control cavity, it was my first active bass at the time so didnt really use the feature properly, i remember thinking at the time it looked better than it sounded (a lovely aqua quilt ) but was probably pilot error on my part, as far as i know the TRB2 had a standard mid cut and boost, but i think you could still change the frequency ,also that is when they went to 35" scale, if im wrong im sure someone will let me know hope this helps the original ones were amazing basses, and ive heard many players get amazing sounds out of them - all the best - lee PS - the neck through ones were known as TRBP as they have a piezo as well as the magnetic pickups!!
  25. Thats a beauty reminds me of my old sterling, but a bit darker burst, and mine had a maple board, really wish i hadnt traded it good luck with the sale - lee
