    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1379933931' post='2218317'] The first time we did the BassBash at that school, I brought along four varieties of in-ear or headphone rigs for people to compare and set them all up in the Quiet Room. That also allowed people to bring basses to those rigs and hear what the basses actually sounded like. Think I might re-visit that idea next year ... [/quote] For the London Bass Show BassGear were set up in the 'quieter' zone and people were only allowed to play through headphone amps and noise isolating cans (all the little Carvin combos have decent headphone pre-amps). Worked really well and was easy to set up. Could probably do something similar next year

    This is a cracking P bass! The Performance guys make some really excellent instruments and they incredibly rare over here. I've owned a couple and both were really nice. Only reason I sold this one was because I tend to play thinner slim vintage J type necks these days.

    I'm firmly in the Tone Hammer camp as well. To my ears the Streamliner sounds a bit 'flabby' and lacking in punch compared to the TH. Another possible might be the MarkBass Big Bang. I really like this amp but you don't see many of them out there. Has a lot if the MB sound but adds something a bit extra tonally and some genuinely useful features too

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1379803783' post='2217014'] And my favourite moment of the day was being able to tell Dave Swift to be quiet (during my inept talk on DB). Yes, me, blagging rubbish bass player telling 23 year pro Dave Swift to be quiet. Still makes me giggle. He was so nice about it too. There's a message there. [b]Nice people do well[/b] [/quote] And he had a gig in the evening all the way over in Ashford and didn't get home until 4:15 in the morning. He then found time to say thanks because I watched his gear for him whilst he was doing the Q&A session! Definitely very nice people indeed

    [quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1379859264' post='2217466'] Interesting preamp/DI from Dave Swift - [/quote] Coming to a dealer near you very soon indeed And I hear all the first orders from any BassChatters are getting an additional discount - yay!

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1379869703' post='2217585'] Why no photos of the sandblasted one you had at the SE Bash??? [/quote] That'll be this one then

    [quote name='urb' timestamp='1379797760' post='2216938'] What Sei bass you got? [/quote] It's the 'stealth' model All black, Original 4 headless, weighs just 6.5 lbs. Quite an old one, serial #51

    Always nice to see lots of familiar faces and to catch up and to meet some new ones too Would have liked to hear Dave Swift but go caught having to look after his basses for him instead, lol. Some nice instruments and amps around and some really cool monster cabs that reminded me that I have a bad back and need to stop looking at them! Plus I came home with some new, super light gauge, strings courtesy of Mick, fitted them immediately and had great fun zooming around on my Sei Big thanks to Gareth for minding the basses I bought along for people to have a go on!

    [quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1379698544' post='2215926'] Many thanks to Dave Swift who will be bringing a few nice items for the raffle table! [/quote] And some basses for sale if anyone's interested These will include: Chapman Stick 10 string Steinberger Q4 in a luscious candy apple red Aria Sinsonido 5 fretless travel bass I'll have some raffle stuff too from BassGear Not sure what i'll be bringing along personally - I have a pair of double gig bags so I'm guessing it'll be 4 basses for ease of transport . . . Oh, and a funky Parker Fly 5 that someone wants to try

    Have you tried writing to Phil Jones? He's often a really fast replied to things personally

    Aguilar prices have been rising this year - this is a really good deal at £700 for the pair

    I'm usually a big fan of matching headstocks but they don't always work well on burst finishes. I'd want to see the actual bass rather than a 'simulation' Black looks 'wrong' to me so natural gets my vote.

    Shuker basses have been available new in retailers in the past but subsequently discontinued

    [quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1379457696' post='2213054'] Don't sell it! Wack the mix to dry and you have an analog synth in your hands. Hit it with enough force and it tracks very well indeed. These are FANTASTIC pedals... [/quote] I'm not sure I've ever done that - must give it a try

    Quite a few of Andy's basses are sold on commission so sometimes the owner will be setting the opening price (although Andy gives great advice on price estimates).

    Used this earlier his morning with a high output active bass and managed to squeeze some great squelchy 80's style synth sounds

    Realised the description might not be that clear because it was taken from a review of more than one Aphex pedal Basically this works really well with an acoustic, or semi-acoustic, bass to smooth out the tone, add some nice bottom end and lovely top end sparkle. Ideal to make a lower priced acoustic bass sound a lot classier

    A Ritter with Jens' vintage profile is incredibly skinny and fast. My absolute favourite neck profile

    Just been running my old '63J through this, works really well with passive instruments

    I've seen these guys too - brilliant live show. Matt Cooper is great funky keys player and last time I saw them they had Daniel Pearce on vocals and percussion as well. Must keep my eyes open for more gigs! Edit : isn't Matt Cooper MD for Incognito these days? I love watching him play, not just because he's so good but also because he seems to have such a great time playing and obviously enjoys himself so much on stage

    I really like the Q Series models. Some details here: http://www.steinbergerworld.com/Q-series.htm Lots of other Steinberger info on that site as well

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]WITHDRAWN - Another pedal from the big clear-out [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is an older Boss OC2 that I bought years ago but have hardly used. It has a few tiny marks but the top and side casing looks pretty much immaculate. I've used it at maybe 5-6 rehearsals but other than that it's never been out of the house. The base has a few marks on it from where it's slid around on the floor but they aren't particularly nasty.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've got the original box, also in near-perfect condition, but have managed to lose the manual somewhere. These are easy to find online though.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is one of the Taiwanese models not the early Japanese ones.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Priced at £65 plus whatever actual postage is - happy to ship anywhere [/font][/color] Pics are of the actual unit - The flash probably makes the marks look a bit worse than they look under normal light but at least it highlights them:
