[b]1978 pre Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray bass.[/b] [b]I picked this bass up the 'states while I was touring over there a good few years ago.[/b] [b]Its in pretty good condition overall for 37 years old, especially the neck and fingerboard, which to my eyes is possibly sporting the original frets. The lacquer on the body has cracked and crazed, not everyones thing, but I like it. The finish has flaked off down to the wood in two parts next to the neck joint, (see pics) and there are 3/4 areas on the body were the finish is down to the wood.[/b] [b]Two look they are dings, the others look like the finish has maybe flaked off. There are plenty of scratches in the lacquer that have not gone all the way through to the painted finish. The preamp has been changed to the 1982 version, this was in the bass when I bought it. its obvious that the electric have been tackled by a previous owner at some point, as the solder work whilst solid, doesn't look like it came out of a factory....I've replaced the treble pot with a new one bought from ernieball.co.uk. If I can find the old pot, I'll include it in the sale, but it is goosed.[/b] [b]Happy to post, or the buyer may collect, thanks for looking.[/b]

[b]My pedal clearout continues, I've had this for a while, but I've hardly used it, despite the fact that its a first rate pre amp and a great di box to boot. 18volts (runs on batteries or power supply), this thing has huge headroom.[/b] [b]A bit of blurb from Aguiler:[/b] [b]"Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure and EQ with the "stomp" of a button. You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven. 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate Gain and Master controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument".[/b] [b]Theres plenty of vids of this pedal on youtube.[/b] [b]In a previous life, it lived on somebodies pedalboard (hence the velcro residue on the bottom, I'll clean that off), but is in pretty good condition and works just fine.[/b] [b]No box or manual, this is how it came to me.[/b] [b]List for for this is now over £200, cheapest I've spotted it going for new is £179, this can be yours for £115 delivered,[/b] [b]Thanks for looking.[/b]

I'd always seen Danny at big gigs, and as has been mentioned in another reply his live tone was never quite right to my ears either. The first time I saw him in an intimate setting, he walked on, started to play (his sound was immense), and then they put him through the rig. The tone pretty much stayed the same. He had no amp onstage, he was using the Ravenlabs pmb2 as a di and preamp. I met him for the first time after that gig, and asked him about it. Turns out he was never fussed on his front of house sound either, having had issues on and off over the years, so he was determined to have as much control over his amplified sound as possible. He used the Ravenlabs to eq his signal in his monitor, and when he was happy with that, he'd send the same signal to the main desk, requesting that where possible, it went through the main rig as was.....

Hi Dave, no apology needed my friend and no offence taken. I'm sorry for giving you that impression. I've edited my post. Mart.

Any string will growl (within reason, I did struggle with a set of Pirastro...never again!). Spirocores growl more than Dannys signature set (I use his strings for A D and G and have a medium Spirocore on the E). I'm the the guy that posted the story about playing Dannys Bass, he told me off for having a stupidly high action! Victoria's action was pretty low, he was twice as loud as me when we played unamplified and he wasn't really digging in with his right hand. The reason he raised the action at the nut when he practised was to build up left hand strength, his aim has always been to produce a fingered note that had as much tone and clarity as an open string. Pickup wise, he's been using a blend of two for years, don't know if the Underwood still gets used, ( he defected to shadow for a bit...) but I do know he has a Highlander piezo ribbon pickup inlaid into his bridge about a half centimetre below the strings, he told me its a guitar pickup.... He was using a Ravenlabs PMB2 preamp/blender made for him by Steve Rabe of SWR fame, but when he started using the AER Basscube, he ditched it. Danny told me it was years before he had any kind of amp and a couple of decades before he cracked the pickup conundrum, so by the time he'd gone down that road, his sound was already fully developed....... He's on facebook and is very accessible and free with his information and time to anyone, give him a shout.

Ditto the above. I worked with the band after their Bassplayer quit for a good portion of 2014, racking up a stack of gigs and playing Bass on their new album. This is a serious opportunity for a committed player........
