    [i][u][b]£50.00 + £6.00 postage.[/b][/u][/i] [b]EH Mini Q-Tron Pedal, used but in perfect working order.[/b] [b]Wild pedal with wild output, I blew a set of speakers with this before I learnt how to use it![/b] [b]Elements of the original Mutron, as you'd expect, coming from the same designer, way superior to the Micro Q-tron that EH later brought out. Big funk in a not so Mini box![/b] [b]Huge array of sounds, great for Guitar but as we know, devastating on Bass![/b] [b]Pedals on the Wirral, so happy for you to pick it up.[/b] [b]Cheers.[/b]

    A great price for an '80's Supernatural. If I was in the market, I'd snap this up. Have a free bump.

    Does your 79 fender neck fit the body? I have a 78 neck kicking around, so may be interested? Cheers.

    I've used British reserve, ( now Allianz and Cornhill) for years. Both my Basses and all accessories, world wide cover and covered if stolen from a vehicle for less than £100 a year. One claim made for total loss of a Bass a couple of years ago, settled in full, no arguments and no increase in premium the following year!. You'll need a written valuation from a luthier in order to get cover.

    Threaded bridge saddles was a sixties thing...Maybe that ties in with the Sixties pickup position...

    I've used the Realist for years. If you get one of the older models, they have a really loud and clear tone. I'm very tempted by the Soundclip pickup he's making. Its almost identical to the Barcus Berry pickup I first used years ago but seems a lot more robust. Wasn't sure from your question but are you aware that the Docking station is just an onboard volume control? I was lucky enough to find David Gages shop while on holiday in New York last month A very open friendly place with good staff....

    Should be no quibbling about the money spent. This Bass is worth every penny. If I had the dosh, I'd buy it myself.

    [quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1376308244' post='2171882'] It certainly doesn't look great for a new bass. On an early Fender though it would probably be considered 'mojo'. [/quote] It wasn't a new Bass, it was a 12 month old demo model.

    Orange all the way, have been using them for the last 3 years. All I ever had to do in that time was replace a pre tube and one power tube. Ultra reliable.

    I'd keep the AD200 and couple it with the OBC410. Thats my setup and I find it great for everything. I did use the Bass Terror for about 6 months. Night and day tonewise compared to the AD in my opinion. Didn't really get on with the Smartpower 410, it couldn't put out the spl that I needed on a rock gig. I found the 210 to be much better.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1376397185' post='2173279'] Interesting.... but as someone who knows nothing about valve technology, what does this actually mean? [/quote] Its just different preamp valves. The 5751 generally has a bit more "headroom", meaning you get a cleaner tone at a higher volume than with the 12ax7. On a personal note, I used the LH500 for years, before going back to all valve heads with Orange. On my amp, I found that the passive channel was very susceptible to signal input and would sag quite badly if I put a hot signal through it. Maybe it was just my amp.....

    [quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1375598890' post='2163196'] one of the old Mxr ones , unbeatable. [/quote] Absolutely. Still use mine, beats the reissue hands down!

    [quote name='Burg' timestamp='1374247841' post='2146897'] Hi [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/3801-symcbass/"]symcbass[/url], any way I could find out for sure if this was an Excelsior? [/quote] Get your torch out and have a look inside the F holes for any kind of label. welcome to the world of real Bass! Resources: A good teacher and a copy of Simandl's Bass Method to get your bowing (and therefore, intonation) up to speed. Theres a myriad of information online these days, way more than when I started.

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1375168746' post='2157370'] Well he can probably afford it since he only paid a tenner for 'Victoria', his 1800s Gand double bass, about sixty years ago! [/quote] A fiver actually, paid back at 5 bob a week!

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1375168038' post='2157362'] Crikey, just checked out the AER Basscube, they're not cheap are they [/quote] £1500 last time I dared to look!
