  1. [quote name='simwells' timestamp='1340400301' post='1704183'] Depends on the age of them they switched part way through production. [/quote] Sounds about right. When I ordered my Silverburst T'Bird, the stock image had the strap button in the usual place, so I was expecting to need to change it, but when it arrived it was already on the heel of the neck anyway. I've also noticed I typed 'neck of the heel' in my previous post...twat!
  2. Don't the PRO-IV's have the strap button on the neck of the heel anyway?
  3. An empty Roses or Quality Street tin was used to maximum effect as a snare drum on Metallica's 'St Anger'...dongtastic!
  4. Here's mine, I got three new toys today so I had to set them up and I finally have a decent board set up, so here you go! Signal chain is as follows: Bass 1 and Bass 2 > Radial BigShot Instrument Selector (with an awful-needs-replacing Behringer TU300 tuner feeding from the tuner output) -> Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah 105Q > Barber TonePress Parallel Compressor > Boss ODB3 OverDrive > Ibanez PD7 Phat-Hed OverDrive > SansAmp Bass Driver DI I'm awaiting a SansAmp Bass Driver Programmable to my replace my current one and a bigger board so I can get better power, a wireless transmitter and various other goodies on there. By the way, I'm open to advice on the order of my signal chain, haven't had time to try it all out in this setup with a decent amount of volume
  5. Another one for the list of shining recommendations. Received my Barber TonePress from Scott today and I couldn't be more chuffed. Brilliant communication, fast delivery and packaged well, what more can I say? Recommended to all
  6. Received my Ibanez PD7 from Jose today (well, yesterday but I wasn't in to take delivery ) and I thoroughly recommend anyone to do business with this fine chap. Extremely friendly and helpful, very understanding and his communication is beyond fantastic. The pedal works as described, was sent quickly and packaged brilliantly. Thanks dude!
  7. Received my Radial BigShot Instrument Selector from Nick today, fantastic gentleman to do business with; quick and helpful replies, speedy postage, item exactly as described and works like a charm! Cheers!
  8. [media]http://youtu.be/fSBU7rBvA_o[/media] The very rough early debut of our current single. It's just changed a bit since but it's more or less the same. Embarassed to post somewhat as everyone's ability is so much better than mine, but what the hell!
  9. [quote name='I am not excane' timestamp='1337789916' post='1665529'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9ROLFqsXUM[/media] [/quote] Wow, those not only sound great, but they are beautifully designed and painted pedals! Fantastic stuff.
  10. "Feck off bass!"
  11. Am I right in thinking this could quite happily sit at the front of my pedal board, with the tuner feeding from that brilliant dedicated tuner socket, with the rest of the effects chain feeding from the output socket, finally ending up in the amp? Have you ever experienced any loss of tracking with a tuning pedal, if you've ever used it as I described above? Looks like a lovely little addition to my board, no more switching leads to change bass on stage!
  12. I'm in the market for a new tuner at the moment and a local guitar store has an ex-demo Boss TU-1000 for £80. It's a huge beast, but has anyone had any experience with them? The piece of crap Behringer tuner I've got at the moment really struggles with low tunings and it needs to go ASAP.
  13. Do you know which model it is? A wireless system is on my to-buy-urgently list but want to have a quick read up on it first
  14. PM'd.

  16. 2010, if I've decoded the serial number correctly. Shortly after buying it, it became my main bass but after getting another Thunderbird, I switched to that and had another passive as a backup, and the Ibanez has gone unused for a long while now! It's a shame, as you said, brilliant beginner bass and great budget active bass. Cheers for the bump
  17. Nine Inch Nails - Closer maybe not family friendly but it always gets the girls dancing We covered it for a few sets last year and it went down well, it's a very good song for adapting to your own style. We don't use synths or electronics (yet, I'm trying to convince the rest of them), so the synth basslines I was playing live with a wah pedal and finger picking on the neck, then whacking the distortion on and playing the bridge pickup with a pick. Maroon 5 (I think) covered it acoustically at some point; well worth a listen.
  18. It's out of your budget by £100 roughly but if you want to save and wait a little while, a new model, the Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV Pro is being released in September with Gibson USA pickups and a through-neck. They're available in Vintage Sunburst or Alpine White. I've already got a deposit down on mine with Wembley Guitar Centre, Anderton's are also selling them. http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/Features/2012/Epiphone-Thunderbird-Classic-IV-PRO.aspx
  19. Bump and dropping the price to £145.
  20. Put a deposit down on the white one a few weeks ago with Wembley Guitar Centre, they should be coming in at the start of September
