    BUMP! £20 asking price before it goes on the 'Bay on Thursday!
  2. noisedude
    I've been asked whether there is movement in the price and the honest answer is - maybe. Make me an offer and we'll see whether we can agree.

    Friday bump! If no-one wants it, it'll go on the 'Bay next Thursday as I need to move some things on ...

    Friday bump! If no-one wants it I'll put it on Ebay next Thursday (along with a G&L Tribute Legacy, a Hamer XT Sunburst, a condenser mic or two and maybe another pedal or two .... hard times!).

    [b]SOLD[/b] [s]Not needed any more, this has never been gigged but has been on my pedal board so it's missing a couple of screws off the bottom (pictured). Being the genius I am, I lost the box and manual when I moved house last summer. So it's just the pedal. It works, obviously, sounds great and looks pretty cool too. It's just over a year old I'm looking for about £25 [b]**NOW ONLY £20**[/b], you can pick it up from me in Leeds (or we can meet nearby) or I can post it for a fiver. Save it from going on Ebay!!!

    Right then chaps, I just read my credit card statement and it's time to make some tricky decisions. Oh dear. This is a Hamer XT-series Sunburst (sunburst is the name of the model, it's actually a natural finish with a niiiice flame top). You wouldn't easily be able to tell it from new, I can't find a scratch or ding to tell you about. It's never been gigged and comes from a smoke free home. I just use it as the electric I have out in the lounge when I teach guitar (acoustic beginners love to see a 'real' electric and this is a good-looking one!). It plays nicely, it's a Les Paul scale length and a Les Paul-type neck, and obviously LP-type construction so it feels and sounds like a Les Paul. It's easily as good as an Epiphone LP IMO for quite a bit less money. How much less money? Well the cheapest I've been able to find them new is £250 and this one is virtually as new. But I need to make a quick sale so I will accept [b][s]£160[/s][/b] [b][size=4]NOW £100!![/size][/b] . You are welcome to come and see it at my house in Leeds or I'll ship it for £15. No gig bag I'm afraid but it's well packed in a re-inforced packing box so I'm more than happy to post it to you. Here are some pics (all taken at the same time so the lighting problems are my terrible photography skills!) and the specs from the Hamer website. Any questions, get in touch. I check my email constantly during the day and can give you my mobile number too if it helps. I'm known in person to at least one person on this forum and have bought from a couple of people, plus my Ebay feedback is 100% positive over a period of five years so let's talk!!

    Reaper DAW 3.2

    noisedude replied to Dood's topic in Recording

    [quote name='cheddatom' post='221155' date='Jun 18 2008, 09:52 AM']Well that's a blinding review. I doubt it has more routing capabilities on the mixer than cubase? Dood - the small footprint is cool. If I could actually afford to buy myself some usb memory I might do that instead of carrying my pc to and from the studio.[/quote] Miles more mate ... go look into it. It makes Cubase look like clunking bloatware for recording. Cubase has more extensive MIDI still but Reaper has made great strides to catch up. Look up a chap called Aaron Carey who goes under the username Pipelineaudio, he has worked with the likes of Megadeth, Sheryl Crow, Rick Rubin, Dokken etc ...he, along with several other pros, has scrapped his Pro Tools rig in favour of turning up at studios with Reaper and a handful of free plugins from Schwa on his flash disk.

    Reaper DAW 3.2

    noisedude replied to Dood's topic in Recording

    Reaper rules! It blows the paradigm of routing and channels ... every channel is a buss is a send is a return, everything is unlimited and flexible. Want to send a snare to 100 different channels and mix that to a hundred different busses? You can do that. Want to have an mp3 in track one and an ogg file in channel two, with a mix of wave and ogg samples on channel three? You can do that. And all at different sample rates, no conversion or importing needed. Ultra efficient, amazing sounding plugins, everything works how you want it to (rather than spending an age working out how to work how Cubase wants YOU to), excellent support community, well written user guide, frequent updates .... what more could you want?
  9. noisedude
    That is the colour ... I have a G&L strat in that finish. Bump from, thanks to Y5S, another L-2500 owner!

    It's a good price, just the right person hasn't seen it yet!

    [quote name='bnt' post='213655' date='Jun 6 2008, 09:28 AM']Just one look at that bridge has me hurling. A touchstyle instrument needs individually-adjustable-[b]everything[/b] to work effectively. Someone should tell those Tennessee jokers that sticking "Professional" on something's name does not actually make it professional quality. [/quote] Paul White wrote a very good editorial in Sound on Sound mag last month in which he observed that "if it says professional on the box, there's a very good chance the item inside is not professional" or something along those lines.

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' post='215750' date='Jun 9 2008, 09:44 PM']Thanks but how would you get to gigs......![/quote] I could carry them all the way there if they're as light as everyone says!! Maybe I'll wait till I'm not quite so skint instead.

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='214697' date='Jun 8 2008, 01:26 AM']The colour is eugh. Makes me want to cough up my own sea foam! Clearly a Marmite finish... [/quote] Salty enough to give you heart problems?
  14. noisedude
    Shill bidding's definitely wrong but it's the bidder's responsibility to know how much the item he's bidding on is worth! This would only work if you were enough of a muppet to offer this much money for this bass!

    [quote name='Toasted' post='215249' date='Jun 9 2008, 09:46 AM']I've played this bass and I know Keith. To any prospective buyers: 1) You need have no worries about buying from Keith, he's a super bloke. 2) This bass is great, not too heavy and in better nick than Keith says. Very full and powerful sound Joe.[/quote] You're right on both counts and I'm a happy bunny getting started on the road to 5-string mastery (get back to me in 50 years).
  16. noisedude
    Bought a G&L Tribute L-2500 off Keith this evening, top bloke, totally straight, took time to talk me through the bass and give me a sheet with some control settings for different sounds to get me started. Also helped me realise I need to sell my car to get a Markbass setup. Couldn't ask for any more from a seller. Thanks mate!

    [quote name='Bernmeister' post='215299' date='Jun 9 2008, 11:18 AM']Thats a serious deal !!!! In fact i'm suprised it's not been snapped up yet[/quote] It might be - I'm looking at it tonight!
  18. noisedude
    This website causes my conscience problems. If this little beauty sticks around a few days I might have to give in. Maybe some other addict will get there before me.

    Hello hello, this is up my street (literally ... that's a bit of Yorkshire humour for you). PM sent!!
  20. noisedude
    Absolute steal of an amp ... if you were near me I'd have it for that price. Have a bump!
  21. noisedude
    Ieuan was the perfect seller in the transaction for his EHX Nano Bassballs pedal, excellent communication, absolutely as described and no fuss whatsoever. An excellent first experience of trading with users on this site!! Nik
  22. noisedude
    PM sent, hope to hear back from you! Nik
  23. noisedude
    Very tentative as I'm skint but was looking at a 1x15" to go with my 410 Transporter cab .... obviously this would be a good partner. Will have a look at my situation and see what I can come up with.

    [quote name='ste_m3' post='160023' date='Mar 19 2008, 12:08 AM']Whats your price range? Theres a warwick 611 on here thats going for £200 (cracking deal) but its a big beast. if you like the markbass gear its well worth looking into in a bit more depth![/quote] I guess I'd rather wait longer for the ideal purchase than make another half-step. As I say, I liked the sound of that Mark Bass combo and it was very loud and very small ... but I guess I'd have to play one and really crank it whilst listening to the tone to know whether it was for me. Problem is, there's nothing around here shop-wise and I don't want to make a trip to a boutique shop without knowing roughly how much I'm going to have to spend to get great tone. Hence asking you lot!!

    Ok I've not played many bass amps so my terminology might be a bit out, hope you can understand what I mean. I've got a Laney RB9 300w head and Hartke 410tp cab. I love the sound when we're practising, great punchy sound. However, at gig volume it seems to be a bit 'edgy' and the bass end gets a little furry and boomy. I'm playing ska/funk/pop and need a really articulate sound but with plenty of bottom end. Not growly I don't think, but plenty of headroom, good dynamic response and as little tweaking of EQ as possible. I play with fingers (an Ibanez DWB-3 Doug Wimbish most of the time, with a Spector Rebop 5 on the way). What am I looking for? Compact and light is also a big issue, though that probably comes at a price premium? Oddly enough I've played a Mark Bass Jeff Berlin combo but that was before I started listening to the sound of bass, I just knew it 'sounded good'. Cheers! Nik
