  1. 1990's Trace Elliot 1x10 Cab. Owned from new, I've never actually come across another.
    rated at 150 watts at 8 ohms.
    Solid ply construction, black tolex covering and kickproof steel grill.
    Original TE badged speaker, undefeatable tweeter and bass port.
    Pretty good nick for its age, still sounds great, I used this for my double before it became my recording cab.
    I really don't use this anymore so time for it to go.
    Has a rubbery orange slip cover that my girl of the time made for me.
    £100 ono. Buyer may collect or I'm happy to post at the buyers expense.
    Any questions, please.
    Cheers,
    Mart.

  2. [b]Never found one I was happy with. They all suck the low end. Billy Sheehan is right: To retain proper bass tone with a pedal, you need a dual amp/pickup rig....[/b]

    [b]Just for the record from what I can remember, I've owned these (in no particular order):[/b]

    [b]Nobels Bass overdrive[/b]
    [b]Boss OD1[/b]
    [b]Boss Bass OD[/b]
    [b]Fultone Bass overdrive[/b]
    [b]Dave Hall Audio Bass Tube distortion[/b]
    [b]Ibanez Tube screamer modded for low end[/b]
    [b]Some "Boutique" thing from the states[/b]
    [b]Sansamp bassdriver[/b]
    [b]Sansamp programmable bassdriver[/b]
    [b]DAM audio Ezekiel 25:17 Bass fuzz[/b]
    [b]Coloursound overdrive[/b]
    [b]Ratt (not a bass one)[/b]
    [b]Amptweaker Bass tightdrive[/b]

    [b]And thats not counting the ones I only tried out.[/b]

    [b]If I want overdrive/distortion now, I just turn the gain up full on my AD200.........[/b]

  3. [u][b]PRICE INCREASED, UNABLE TO EDIT TRADE PRICE LISTING FOR SOME REASON....[/b][/u]

    [b]1980 Dimarzio Brass Bridge. (Spotted by an eagle eyed bass chatter and confirmed by Dimarzio).[/b]
    [b]This came from a '78 P Bass I bought over christmas.[/b]
    [b]The bass weighs a ton as it is, so this bridge is history![/b]
    [b]It will fit later Fenders with the 1970's screw layout....[/b]

    [b]£25.00 including postage.[/b]

  4. [b][u]PICS TO FOLLOW[/u][/b]

    [b]EMG's first active pups with exposed pole pieces if I remember rightly. [/b]
    [b]Based on a set of 1960's L series pickups, meant to be quieter and a touch tighter on the bottom end.[/b]
    [b]Active, they have push on harness connectors and are in the Vol/Vol/Tone configuration as you would expect.[/b]
    [b]One of the battery wires has been cut, but this is a simple solder and tape fix.[/b]
    [b]Think I have the box and instructions but I'll need to dig the out.[/b]

    [b]£70.00 plus a fiver for postage.[/b]

    [b]Cheers,[/b]

  5. After months of searching in vain for a decent used P Bass body, I took a chance and bought a "repainted 1976 Fender Precision body" off Usa ebay. my heart sank when it turned up: The worst kind of rattle can respray, (inc cavities and neck pocket) and a small route out the back, "a battery compartment"....On closer inspection, its a nice weight, the contours are well cut and sanded and having nitromorsed the neck pocket, there are definite signs of the all important stamps...Fingers crossed and I'll keep you updated.

    ...is that the easiest way to fly to the usa with a bass then? Buy it there? I like that idea!

    This is a total bargain bass btw!

    Heres the story: I have a genuine 1971 Jazz in the Geddy spec. At the time, it was in pieces and in need of a respray. We had a bit of downtime and went to the shop for a mooch. They had a 72 in the same spec as mine. I played it through a couple of the amps they had set up. A salesman appeared and came out with some line like: "Great tone, its a combination of that Bass and the amp" (think it was an SVT).
    I got all uppity and reminded him that tone is also in the players hands. To prove my point, I took the Geddy off the wall and a/b'd it with the '72. Very close in tone and the Geddy felt and played better. The '72 was $4500, the Geddy was $700. It was a no brainer.
    Getting it home was easy: Took the neck off then put the lot in a folded over gigbag which I took on as hand luggage.
    I've brought a stack of basses to and from from the states, never been stopped or questioned....
